Chapter 243: The Undying Nether Emperor (24)
An existence like the God Emperor had hidden through countless eras and even personally orchestrated the destruction of an entire epoch—all for the sake of a chance at transcendence.
Now that Su Chen had seized that opportunity, how could he possibly share it with anyone else?
The God Emperor was unwilling to accept it. He had comprehended a second fragment of the Book of Death and survived millions of years on the brink of death. He had been just one step away from the final threshold, only to have it stolen at the last moment.
"I refuse to accept this… The ancient era was destroyed, countless powerhouses died, and I laid plans for tens of millions of years. This chance at transcendence should have been mine!"
The God Emperor's words revealed a heaven-shaking secret. The grand scheme of the ancient era had been nothing but a deception. All the powerful beings who died in that war had merely been sacrificial pieces in his layout. Even the Demon Lord had been a blade in the God Emperor's hand.
"You destroyed those powerful existences just to lure beings from beyond this realm and extract the secret of transcendence from them?" Su Chen asked, his suspicion now confirmed.
Zhao Wuhen, filled with despair, let out a bitter laugh.
"The Main God Hall screwed me over completely!"
This was supposed to be nothing more than an ordinary-rated universe, yet it hid two supreme Emperors, each more terrifying than the last. It was even more horrifying than many top-tier universes.
