Chapter 422: Player 425 goes second
"I can’t believe it, the headmaster of the Immortal Ancient Academy, is actually such a despicable person. You truly fill me with contempt." Mu Can looked scornfully at Beidou Divine Sovereign. He had never anticipated such a turn of events; the previously jovial, albeit seemingly amiable old man had revealed his true face after regaining his strength.
"Hahaha, what do you know? Do you understand my pain? Do you know how I’ve come to live all these years here? Do you know what it feels like when the chance to rule the Three Realms tempts you at every turn, and yet it’s within easy reach?" Beidou Divine Sovereign bellowed hysterically, his face a picture of madness.
"To rule the Three Realms, you think it’s that simple?" Although Beidou Divine Sovereign’s strength was indeed of the Void Level, after understanding the Three Realms more profoundly, Mu Can would never again underestimate the heroes of the Mortal World.
After all, in the Mortal World, it’s very likely that old-timers who fought in the war against invaders from other worlds are still living, any one of whom could easily deal with someone at the Void Level.
"Do you know? The ruler of the Three Realms is gravely injured, so the will of heaven and earth automatically protects its sovereign, expelling all Void Level beings. But if I can regain my strength and return to the Mortal World, then I can replace the sovereign of the Three Realms, becoming the new ruler. By then, the Three Realms will be within my grasp," Beidou Divine Sovereign roared with laughter.
"You are such a dishonorable scoundrel; I mistakenly regarded you as a senior of the Immortal Ancient Academy." Mu Can did not deign to associate with such a person.
The situation is now crystal clear. After advancing to the Void Level, Beidou Divine Sovereign heeded the call of the heavenly will and arrived at the Thunder Palace, where he was imprinted with the Spiritual Slave Seal and expelled from the Mortal World—all to protect the injured ruler of the Three Realms.
"The Immortal Ancient Academy? Do you know where all the previous headmasters of the Immortal Ancient Academy ended up? They were all expelled by the heavenly will, just like driving pigs and dogs, permanently exiled from their own main interface, never able to return. Do you think that’s a happy event? Do you know what it feels like to sense the presence of your loved ones yet never able to meet them? Do you know what it feels like to be without a home you can return to? You don’t know. You will never understand how it feels to belong to the Mortal World but to be expelled by it, and all this, to protect the so-called ruler of the Three Realms."
Beidou Divine Sovereign acted hysterically, no longer the indifferent person as before but more like a madman, prompting Mu Can to shake his head helplessly.
"You’ve gone mad; during these years here, you have lost your true nature. You’re no longer Headmaster Beidou; you are just a pitiful wretch," Mu Can said pityingly, his eyes conveying a faint sneer.
"Who do you think you are, to pity me? Do you know who I am? I am the most outstanding genius in the Mortal World, the youngest at the Void Level in the Mortal World, the greatest genius, but yet imprisoned here for endless years." Catching sight of Mu Can’s gaze, Beidou Divine Sovereign’s eyes instantly turned icy cold as he threw a fierce punch at Mu Can. The punch landed on Mu Can’s body, but instead of the expected outcome, Mu Can’s body burst open, turning into a cloud of Spiritual Power.
"It’s just an avatar; you’re certainly not simple," Beidou Divine Sovereign said with a hint of coldness, suddenly noticing that the body of Wang Cai, along with the Compass he was clutching, had disappeared without a trace.
