I dont see your goons around to do your bidding. Have you grown tired of them, or you just like being alone as usual, big brother? Zhuo Fan smirked.

Heavenly Sovereigns eyebrow twitched at the appellation, soon regaining his calm, yet strained, smile. Well, well, look who decided to wake up. Im curious though, how did you regain your past lives memories when you had no Heavenly Rebirth Lake to aid in the process? Though I must say, adversity has always suited you, little brother. Just look at you, a full-fledged Sovereign. Granted, it did take you millions of years, give or take a couple thousand years, and for all other Sovereigns to die beside me. Still, you pulled it off in the end. But only to always end up in the wrong path. As for the garbage, I had to do some spring cleaning since they were useless against your growing little posse, not that it would change anything.

Regarding your question, thats for me to know and you to find out. Zhuo Fan gave a cryptic and insufferable reply, further irking the strongest being in the world with that cocky grin.

Enough hokum! Well talk more important matters over a game of go, like we used to, away from the buzzing crowd. Heavenly Sovereign lost his patience, flying away.

Dont, Zhuo Fan! Chu Qingchang begged. He must be here to finish what he started last time. Her voice quivered from recalling his tortured body barely holding on.

Zhuo Fan kissed her forehead, making her grip on him tighten. Its fine. He couldve done that from the start if he wanted to. His gaze turned grave as he looked at the sacred beasts. Besides, we have bigger things to worry about now, dont we? Heavenly Sovereign knows of the expanding sea of blackness and that it would only be a matter of time before even we would fall prey to it and Sacred Domain would be no more. It would do no one any good if our conflict end in both of us losing.

Its why he is here, risking the bewitchings corruption of his path by walking out of his domain. If we dont get someone to reach the Supreme Stage before the sea of blackness swallows up the Sacred Domain, then all will be for nothing. Now, he just wants to talk, hoping to deal with this before we resume old hostilities.

Just be careful. Luo Yunchang hugged him with warm eyes, followed by the other girls.

Zhuo Fan sighed. Here. And passed a prismatic glow from his hand to Heavenly Sovereign like he was passing salt, dropping his cultivation to half Sovereign.

I know Heavenly Sovereign froze with a white piece in hand. He was still in mid speech, to convince Zhuo Fan about the greater good and all that spiel in attempt to get him to play his game. This move took him by complete surprise, to say the least.

Youre giving it to me, just like that? Heavenly Sovereign was skeptical.

You dont want it? Zhuo Fan smirked, but the other snatched it on the spot. Figured as much.

You see, Began Zhuo Fan, we both know what we need to do. Its because theres no way around it and that it works in both groups favor. So why bother wasting time with pointless speeches and appeal to reason. Why bother with such convoluted and equally idiotic attempts at getting me to agree? I for one dont want to sit for a lecture. Just accepting the truth is so much easier and freeing.

I will also need your Demon Transformation Art Zhuo fan grunted and coughed blood as he asked, offering the art hed been training for centuries like it was some useless object gathering dust in a basement somewhere.

[This isnt right. Why did he give up so easily? He never gives up, ever. In all his lives, he struggled till the end. The only times he is calm about it is when death is a certainty, or he has everyone playing in the palm of his hand. But what could he possibly do when he has no power, when he gave it up willingly?]

Having got what he wanted, Heavenly Sovereign finished the game, with both sides looking even still. He was going to go back to his domain and think this through, as well as fuse the four, nay, five paths. Maybe insight towards the Supreme Stage will help him skip the other five and reach it faster.

Before you go, know that cleansing the world is nothing similar to what youre envisioning. Zhuo Fan wheezed, blood leaking from his mouth.

We shall see. Until the next phenomenon. Heavenly Sovereign flew away and the Mirror Moon Cottage twisted to reveal a simple shack in the woods.

Yes, we shall. Zhuo Fan smiled, placing one last black piece, and turning the tide of the game to his side in crushing victory.
