"Hey, tell me one thing!" Ye Xiao looked at the Emissary of the Heavens and spoke.
"What?" The Emissary of Heavens asked.
"You said I have to face the Heavens if I want to leave. Why is it that Heavens would come to stop him personally but it doesn't want to face the coming World Epoch and those ancestral dragons."
"As far as I know, Heavens is extremely powerful. If it wants, it could easily take care of those dragons. Then why does it need my or others' help? Why doesn't it solve this kind of situation itself?"
The expression on the face of the Emissary of the Heavens told Ye Xiao that he was expecting this question. He revealed a knowing smile and replied: "Yes! If Heavens wants, it could easily take care of those ancestral dragons. As for the coming World Epoch, Heavens has no idea what kind of calamity is coming. It has no idea how strong the coming World Epoch would be. After all, it is the first time Heavens is facing danger that is coming from the Void beyond the Heavens!"
"So, let's not talk about the World Epoch first. Let's talk about those ancestral dragons."
As the Emissary of Heavens spoke, he stopped for a moment and looked at Ye Xiao's face. Seeing that Ye Xiao was listening to his words carefully, he started speaking again: "It is because of Ancient Devils. They are not the native of Heavens, they were never born here. Instead, they also entered the Heavens through the crack that appeared when Heavens and Second Universe were facing each other."
"Taking advantage of that opportunity, they entered the Heavens through that crack. And from that time till now, they have played a vital role in the ending of every era. You could even say that they were the main reason why an era came to an end every time. They have been creating chaos everywhere every time they appeared. You could even say that these Ancient Devils are the true villains that want the Heavens to be destroyed the most."
"Now that the World Epoch is coming, Ancient Devils have already started resurfacing. They are slowly integrating into big forces and are trying to control those forces from the dark."
"And at this time, if Heavens is to act, they would become alerted and hide. There are already quite a few ways to hide from the sight of Heavenly Dao. If they were to be alerted and chose to hide, Heavens would not be able to do anything to them at all."
"However, this is not what the Heavens wants. Along with the coming World Epoch, Heavens also wants to deal with these Ancient Devils for once and all. And to do that, it has to stay put. It could not recklessly take action and show those Ancient Devils that it is weak. That's why it chose not to take action against the Ancient Devils and decided to use others' hands... Your hand to deal with them!"
Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. He understood what the Emissary of Heavens was trying to say. But then he thought about something that happened in the Primordial Era. So he asked again: "As far as I know, even in the Primordial Era, Heavens never personally acted. Instead, it made those ancestral dragons an enemy of every single race. Among them, the Primordial Race chose to support the ancestral dragons."
"What I want to say is, even at that time, Heavens didn't act personally. Could it be that Heavens wanted to get rid of the Ancient Devils at that time as well, but for some reason, it failed?"
"However, if that is so, many eras started and ended after the Primordial Era. Why didn't the Heavens try to get rid of those Ancient Devils at that time?"
The Emissary of Heavens nodded his head and started speaking: "Yes, you are right. Heavens wanted to get rid of those Ancient Devils in the Primordial Era. They came from the void outside the Heavens, they were a big threat to the existence of the Heavens. If Heavens could not get rid of them, how could it stay peaceful? That's why it wanted to get rid of these Ancient Devils."
"However, killing them was not that simple. You should know that Ancient Devils can not be killed normally. Only by some special means could those Ancient Devils be killed!"
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head in understanding, the Emissary of Heavens continued: "However, you might not know, after being killed, those Ancient Devils leave a dark thread-like energy strand behind. Normally, anyone would think this is the leftover of Ancient Devils after being killed, however, this is not true."
"Those dark thread-like energy strands are like a second life to them, it is some kind of Heart Essence. A few months later, with the help of those thread-like energy strands, the Ancient Devils could reappear."
When Ye Xiao heard this, he was shocked. He suddenly remembered, whenever he devoured the Ancient Devil, he felt that the dark thread-like line on the Embryonic Form of the Dao Fruit, which represents Ancient Devils, filling up.
And as the Emissary of the Heavens spoke, they were like some kind of Heart Essence.
After Ye Xiao felt that dark thread had completely been filled, he was teleported to face the Supreme Ancient Devil. There, he used that Heart Essence to fill the Heart of the Supreme Ancient Devil that instantly revived it back.
Before this, Ye Xiao was not sure why the dark energy that belonged to Ancient Devils managed to revive the Supreme Ancient Devil after filling its heart. At that time, he thought maybe it is because the dark energy belong to the Ancient Devils.
However, only now did he understand everything clearly.
Ancient Devils are the incarnations of the Supreme Ancient Devil to begin with. That's why they don't have a soul. However, because of Supreme Ancient Devil's special character, they all have the ability to think and do work freely. They could manipulate people, fight, and control others. They are a really terrifying foe.
Not to mention, killing them is almost impossible. As the Emissary of the Heavens said, if not for the fact that Ye Xiao devoured them directly, if he had killed them and left, they would have reappeared after a short period of a few months.
The Emissary of Heavens continued: "In the Primordial Era, Heavens was still growing and expanding continuously. Although it wanted to get rid of Ancient Devils very much, it chose to let others fight against them first. Heavens wanted to prove the strongest strength of those Ancient Devils. And when it was ready to get rid of them, many Ancient Gods have already developed a method to seal them."
"Thus, before the Heavens could take action, all the Ancient Devils were sealed."
Saying this, the Emissary of Heavens stopped to breathe properly for a few seconds before he started speaking again: "After that, Heavens wanted to take action against those ancestral dragons. However, before it could do so, Second Universe took action and forcefully sucked the nine Ancestral Dragons inside before transforming into the Heavenly Pearl."
"Of course, in almost every era, Ancient Devils would reappear and cause the end of that era. However, Heavens had never taken action against them because a large number of them were still sealed. Heavens wanted to get rid of them for once and all, but to do so, all the Ancient Devils needs to be released again."
"And then in this era, you appeared. You devoured almost half the number of Ancient Devils in the Upper Realm. But there are still countless of them. And more than 70% of them have already been broken free from their seals."
Ye Xiao nodded his head in understanding. After that, Ye Xiao and the Emissary of Heavens talked about many things.
The Emissary of Heavens cleared many doubts that Ye Xiao had. Ye Xiao also got to learn many things.
In the end, Ye Xiao knew that, even though he was born from the Source of the Heavens, he was no longer connected to it. That's why Heavens would never allow him to leave.
If he wants to leave, he has to face the Heavens first.
And this time, he would really face the Heavens, not the Heavenly Dao or Emissary of Heavens.
It means, he is destined to go against the Heavens!
But Ye Xiao was not worried. Instead, for some unknown reason, he became excited.
Finally, Ye Xiao asked the last question that appeared in his mind after his conversation with the Emissary of Heavens. He asked: "What about Lin Hao?"
Looking into the eyes of the Emissary of Heavens, Ye Xiao asked again: "I agree that I'm a trump card raised by the Heavens. However, what about Lin Hao? He has also obtained the God Slaying Sword and he is definitely outstanding. He is also Heavens' closest one. Isn't he also a trump card of the Heavens?"
