Chapter 2329 - The Cruelest Fate of All
The Blazing Sundial stood tall. All was silent on all sides.
After a moment’s silence, Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye said, “I once controlled the Blazing Sundial, and I used it to borrow the power of the Flame of Divine Emergence. I, more than anyone else in this world, understand how terrifying and taboo the Flame of Supreme Emergence really is.”
He let out a self-deprecating sigh. “Look at my wretched state. As I’m sure you can tell, I... played with fire and got burned!”
He was one of the Three Celestial Venerates of the Age of Supreme Emergence. He was far beyond even other Nine-Tribulation Master Gods.
However...
When the cataclysm that ended the Age of Supreme Emergence descended, he was nonetheless trapped, clinging to existence in the Blazing Sundial. It was easy to imagine how terrifying the Cataclysm of Supreme Emergence had been.
Su Yi took out a jug of wine and had a sip. “Forgive my boldness, but just what is your current situation?”
“My physical body has been destroyed,” said Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye. “All that remains is a wisp of soul origin attached to the Blazing Sundial.”
Su Yi’s gaze focused.
“Earlier, the Mountain Guardian said he thought you were the only person with a real shot of controlling the Flame of Supreme Emergence, but I disagreed. This is why,” said Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye. “It’s too taboo! The slightest misstep can lead to doom!”
Su Yi rubbed his forehead and put the jug of wine away. “I still want to try.”
Celestial Venerate Zhou Ye instantly fell silent. After a while, he finally said with exasperation, “I knew I wouldn’t be able to persuade you. Very well. If you’ve prepared, go right ahead.”
