Chapter 1475 Strange Disease (2)
After a moment of silence, the Primordial Empyrean Master said to Su Ping, “That’s my problem, not yours. I’ve told you everything I know. I’d like to contribute to humankind, being a human myself. Since we’re stranded in this foreign land, I suggest that we establish the Federation once more; everybody in the universe will benefit from it. You shouldn’t refuse to cooperate with me just because you can’t understand why I escaped.
“We cannot seek revenge without working together!”
He spoke in a persistent and righteous manner.
Su Ping remained calm and unmoved. “Let’s see if you’re telling the truth.”
With that, he raised a hand and gathered the five Celestials in the Planet of Origin. They were shocked, as they were teleported from different places; it made them feel like ants in the hand of a giant.
They had only experienced such a terrifying display of force from the Primordial Empyrean Master.
Ignoring their fear and shock, Su Ping pointed at one of them and read his memories.
Su Ping browsed quickly and soon found the memory when he fled from the universe.
According to that memory, Su Ping saw that the Primordial Empyrean Master left the universe while manning the Planet of Origin like a majestic god. He jumped to a point according to certain coordinates through an ancient array.
The coordinates would lead to a hidden space. They lived there for some time.
Time flowed at a different speed in that place. They spent more than five hundred years there, until a mythical chaos creature got close. To avoid conflict, the Primordial Empyrean Master had to abandon their haven and flee to a place beyond the universe.
After wandering for decades, the old expert stopped steering the planet one day and left.
Everything seemed to be as usual when he returned.
However, ever since that day, the Primordial Empyrean Master had been yelling crazily from time to time.
The first time he suffered a lapse of reason, he even killed a Celestial that was merely talking to him.
After that, the remaining Celestials told him of his episodes, so he dismissed them. He established a barrier inside his temple to avoid killing others.
Decades later, they found that cyborg universe and wandered in that place, until they accidentally struck the green glass planet where Su Ping lived.
The latter withdrew his consciousness and started to read the memories of another Celestial to confirm the truth.
“Sir, that’s too domineering!” The old expert was angry, not expecting Su Ping to be so reckless. Is he being this arrogant because he has Chi Ying and three aliens to back him?
“You would be even more domineering if you had my position and strength,” said Su Ping indifferently, “The fact that you’re still alive proves how merciful I am.”
“You!”
The Primordial Empyrean Master changed his expression. What Su Ping said was almost a declaration of war.
Su Ping ignored the fellow. He browsed the second Celestial’s memories and found similar experiences.
He then got hold of two Ascendants and cross-checked facts with their memories, finding that the events were similar; only their perspectives were different. This meant that the guy wasn’t lying.
“What did you do a few decades ago?” Su Ping looked at the Primordial Empyrean Master coldly.
The old man changed his expression and said, “I’m a universe dominator anyway. Can’t I have some secrets?”
“No,” said Su Ping indifferently, “You betrayed humanity in a time of crisis. No matter what contributions you made in the past, it means nothing to me. What you do when your life is at risk shows who you really are. Helping a million people by raising your hand is not as difficult as sacrificing yourself to save one person.”
“Hilarious!”
The Primordial Empyrean Master was angry. “You escaped from our universe too. What are you? Didn’t you abandon the others, too?”
“At least we tried,” said Su Ping frankly, “We tried our best and had to retreat. Even though many couldn’t be saved and had to be abandoned, we tried our best and our conscience is clear!”
“Your conscience is clear? Only the extremely selfish would feel the same. You wouldn’t have been so extreme if you felt slightly uncomfortable.” The Primordial Empyrean Master sneered.
“I don’t need your approval. All you need to know is that you’re not qualified to negotiate or become my ally. I may spare your life if you behave. If you don’t, you won’t be needed in the war against the Heavens.”
Su Ping spoke in an extremely cold and majestic voice.
The old expert didn’t expect that a young man he had never met would be that brutal and confident. He gazed at Su Ping and said, “You’re certain that you can catch me? You may not be able to catch me if I want to leave!”
“You’re overthinking.”
Su Ping knew the guy wouldn’t act obediently unless he made a display of force. He snorted and slapped the barrier covering the temple, smashing it to bits. The void shook and a magnificent force was imposed on the Primordial Empyrean Master like a heavy mountain.
The latter was shocked, and nearly fell all the way to the ground. He hurriedly drew power from his universe and reversed time. It was useless, though; Su Ping’s overflowing Dao power tore all forces apart. He had the feeling that the young man could even shatter him directly!
He’s this strong?
The Empyrean Master was shocked, finding it hard to believe.
Being a universe dominator, he had never experienced something like this.
Could it be that the guy is not a universe dominator, but someone in the legendary Undying State?
Once that realm was attained, one could casually step out of the universe and travel in any realm!
Furthermore, immortality would be achieved; aging would be abolished, and even bodies would become immortal, even if the owner died!
“You can’t go without my permission.” Su Ping dispelled his power and looked at the old fellow indifferently. “You’d better confess truthfully. It wasn’t easy for you to become a universe dominator, so I’ll leave you some dignity. Don’t force me to read your memories.”
The Primordial Empyrean Master wore a troubled expression, not expecting such a powerful existence to be born from his universe.
“I’ll speak.” He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “We were roaming about when we found an item floating somewhere beyond the universe. I contracted the disease because of that thing.”
“Huh?” Su Ping frowned. “What thing?”
“A corpse.”
The Primordial Empyrean Master looked at Su Ping and said, “You may find it hard to believe, but the corpse was enormous; it had yet to decay despite being bitten by countless Daos. I would have thought it was alive if it weren’t for the huge wounds it had.”
Su Ping was stunned. There was a body floating in the Realm of the Heavens beyond the universe?
Was it an Ancestral God?
“If it’s a body, how is it related to your disease?” asked Su Ping.
The old man sighed and said, “I don’t know how strong the body used to be, but I felt that my power was almost drained after just a glance. Over the years, whenever I thought of the corpse, some sort of power would try to invade my body, and I simply wanted to expel
it.”
Su Ping was stunned. The guy was a universe dominator with an awakened Dao Heart. Could something so uncanny happen to him?
“What you said makes me quite curious,” Su Ping said, “If you don’t mind, lock your memories in the past. I’ll only browse the memories after you left the universe.”
The Primordial Empyrean Master changed his expression. A dignified universe dominator like himself was being treated as a prisoner, and the only choice was to let Su Ping read his memories?
It was tantamount to letting someone see him naked.
It was obviously an insufferable humiliation.
“I’ve given you enough face,” said Su Ping.
The Primordial Empyrean Master secretly gnashed his teeth. It had been a long time since he was humiliated and angered in such a way.
However, Su Ping was beyond terrifying, let alone that he had four helpers.
