Chapter 1060: 3 Months
At this level, Satan could no longer look down at this opponent – Or rather, he should take him as a real ‘opponent’.
No matter who and what method was used, to get the origin law power of the Book of Creation under the watch of the 3 archangels was enough to get this kind of respect.
Satan himself might not have this ability.
Satan nodded slowly, “I underestimated you. You have the right to stand in front of me, but that’s all; you still don’t have the ability to shake my will.”
“I admit that I’m behind the 3 empires, and our interests do conflict.” Chen Rui canceled the [Purple Pole Star Transformation] and returned to the normal state, “However, no matter the Dark Divinity Temple or the Light Divinity Temple, they are just the tools to steal faith. The so-called 3 archangels are still shut out by that gate, including the self-proclaimed ‘closest to G.o.d’ Michael. Don’t you think it’s not worth it?”
“Michael?” Satan said proudly, “What he can’t do doesn’t mean I can’t do it.”
Chen Rui frowned. Most of the peak stage Pseudo-G.o.d he had come into contact with had been standing at the highest peaks in the world for many years. They appeared extremely confident or rather arrogant.
“I don’t know what the basis of your comparison is, maybe I don’t know a lot of things, but I know another thing. Faith is not the only way to G.o.d. There is another possible shortcut: destruction and creation.”
There was a twinkle in Satan’s eyes, “You mean…”
“The peak stage of power is absolute, but there is more than one way to reach the peak stage. Destruction and creation are the most original principles and the most powerful forces in the universe. If we can comprehend the real mystery, breaking through the greatest bottleneck is not impossible.”
These were the original words of Python. When Chen Rui said it, Satan did not refute, but he showed a thoughtful expression.
“From this point of view, our ultimate goal is actually the same.” Chen Rui threw a tempting chip, “I didn’t get the Book of Creation at Light Divinity Temple this time, but I stole the complete creation origin. If you want to set up a Dark Divinity Temple to steal faith, then there should be a complete Book of Destruction. As long as you can provide me with the complete destruction origin, then I think we can establish a mutually beneficial partners.h.i.+p.”
This chip looked tempting, but it was actually quite scammy because Satan only had 2/3 of the Book of Destruction. To provide a complete construction origin, all 3 silver boxes must be gathered.
Now Satan had 2, but the last one was actually in Chen Rui’s own hands.
This main plane was huge. If Chen Rui hid the silver box, perhaps Satan would not find it in his life, just like Python hid with the silver box.
Because Chen Rui knew about it, he deliberately dug a hole and waited for Satan to jump down. He also deliberately pointed out to Satan about having the ‘complete’ Book of Destruction, which was another reminder.
Satan pondered for a moment, and a playful smile showed on his mouth, then he laughed. This was Satan’s first real laugh since he came here. However, Chen Rui’s gaze became serious. Instead of relaxing, there was a bad omen in his mind. Satan’s laughter lasted for a while before he gradually stopped. His eyes were set on Chen Rui’s face, and the smile gradually turned cold, “You’re you and I’m me. Whatever path I wish to go, and whatever I wish to do, why should I be influenced by you!”
This sentence was full of arrogance and domineering. Chen Rui’s brows furrowed tightly. He didn’t expect the other party would not waver after throwing such a bait.
Every powerhouse had his own obsession, and they would never be diverted by external objects. Perhaps this was 1 of the reasons why they were truly powerful.
“Your biggest mistake is to compare Michael to me!” Satan’s voice had become cold and eerie like an ice sword that pierced the soul, “Put away your eloquent words! If you want to change my will, the only way is strength!”
“Really?” Chen Rui looked directly into Satan’s eyes. From the moment Satan laughed, this would not end peacefully. At this moment, his mood was suddenly surprisingly calm.
In fact, he had always had a strange premonition that sooner or later, he would face off against a formidable opponent like Satan.
The Demon Realm’s strongest Pseudo-G.o.d.
If Satan was an insurmountable mountain, his goal now was to accomplish this nearly impossible goal.
I will climb to the top of the mountain and dominate everything below me.
Chen Rui suddenly remembered that when he was still the strength of the Intermediate Demon, the scene of setting a War Contract with the strongest Higher Demon Arux was also an almost impossible mission.
In the end, he defeated Arux in the highly antic.i.p.ated arena in front of Shea.
Although his strength at that time was not worth mentioning now, his will to move forward regardless of everything was amazingly consistent.
Chen Rui had a feeling of going back in time. The firmness of that time and today seemed to be integrated.
His gaze became calmer like a sword in a sheath.
“Didn’t you tell my subordinates that you want to visit your ‘old friend’?” Satan clearly sensed Chen Rui’s firmness and fearlessness, “I’ll be waiting for you at the Mountain Seckred. Don’t say that I didn’t give you time to prepare. 3 months!”
There was a crystal ball in front of Chen Rui which had a map-like pattern.
“This...o...b..can bring you or some of your friends to the Mountain Seckred. If you can show me the same strength as determination, maybe I can consider some kind of cooperation. If you’d like to join the Dark Divinity Temple with me to be in charge of the faith of this world, you can also crush this crystal ball and contact me. However, if I don’t see you in 3 months, I will come here to find you. At that time, not only you, the so-called 3 empires and those ants who are unwilling to believe in the temple will be destroyed.”
Satan was a person with great talent and scheming. The reason why he gave this 3-month period was not because he really wanted to give Chen Rui time to prepare, but because he had his own plans. He wanted to solve the mysterious enemy at once in his visit to the Fallen Angel Empire this time, but the unpredictable ability displayed by the other party greatly exceeded his expectations, so he did not act rashly out of prudence.
More importantly, when Chen Rui showed the breath of creation origin just now, Satan’s original stagnation about the destruction origin suddenly became clear. He was eager to grasp that inspiration, so he made a temporary decision to use 3 months of closed-door training to further comprehend the destruction origin.
“Destroy everything? Even those ordinary people are not spared? Where is the pride of a powerhouse?”
“Ignorance is the real pride.” Satan sneered, “Don’t tell me about the super-level rule that doesn’t hurt ordinary people. The rule is designated by powerhouses. Since the current rule can’t satisfy me, then I don’t mind destroying it and then re-enacting it. In the eyes of the powerhouse, those ant-like beings are nothing more than tools in captivity and their destiny is to be enslaved or obliterated.”
Enslaved or obliterated ants? Chen Rui took a deep breath, “I only heard 1 sentence before: In G.o.d’s eyes, all life is just a plaything. You’re not a G.o.d yet.”
Satan gave him a deep look, “Then, I’ll be a G.o.d.”
The eyes of the 2 met and seemed to clash intangibly in the air.
“The 3 empires are only temporary tools. Sooner or later, they will be destroyed. At that time, I will use the Dark Divinity Temple as the center to build the world into a completely unified faith kingdom. All the ants will become puppets controlled by the Dark Divinity Temple. Those who believe in me will live; those who do not believe in me will die!”
Satan’s tone was full of strong confidence. He didn’t seem to care about speaking about his plans at all.
I have absolute strength. This is an upright conspiracy. What can you do to me?
This plan was somewhat in line with the Lord of Midnight Sun who possessed Teris back then: Those who obey me will live; those who do not will die!”
Now, Chen Rui didn’t hesitate anymore. He nodded slowly, “Okay! Within 3 months, I will come to ‘visit’ at any time.”
Anytime? Satan frowned as he walked out.
The Mountain Seckred was his base camp, so even if there were any emergencies during closed-door training, he could handle it without risk.
When Satan reached the entrance of the main hall, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
“I once heard someone say the same as what you just said just now about comprehending destruction and creation. That person is a real ‘old friend’.” Satan’s cold eyes flashed with a strange light, “If you have any a.s.sociation with her, I think you will bring me a huge surprise by then.”
This sentence made Chen Rui’s heart jump. He never thought that Satan actually would think of Python because of this, but he remained calm, “No matter who you are talking about, I believe it will be a meeting worth looking forward to.”
Satan didn’t say a word. He just glanced indifferently in the other direction, walked straight out of the hall, and then disappeared into the air.
After Satan left completely, the main hall of the Fallen Angel Empire, which was destroyed by [Collapse Extermination], gradually recovered to its original state. What was destroyed just now was just the projection of the main hall. This was a special s.p.a.ce; even Satan or this avatar’s power could not really shake this s.p.a.ce.
Tower of Glory.
Another Chen Rui’ figure gradually emerged in the direction Satan was looking at before leaving.
The 2 Chen Rui looked at each other. The one in front nodded slightly and disappeared.
The one that disappeared was the projection of the Holy Light Robe, and the one that appeared behind was Chen Rui’s original body that rushed back from the Ghastly Floating Land.
Although Satan was just an avatar, he actually felt like being peeped at. Plus the strong fluctuations displayed in this s.p.a.ce, Satan couldn’t see through the depth of today’s palace. He did not directly turn hostile and chose to fight after 3 months.
This time, he barely pa.s.sed Satan’s test and delayed the matter for 3 months. However, Chen Rui knew very well that after 3 months, it would be a huge test.
He learned from Python that Satan’s ambition was not recent. He had always wanted to control the entire Demon Realm, re-enact the rules led by himself, and make everyone a puppet of manipulation. This hidden ambition was now finally expanding and bursting out at an unprecedented level. Perhaps Satan also wanted to use this ‘unification’ to search for the last part of the Book of Destruction. Whatever the purpose, it would be a terrifying disaster for the Demon Realm that had finally settled down after much effort.
This was different from facing the archangels at the Holy Light Mountain. Chen Rui could not dodge or escape because behind him were Catherine, Shea, Tiffany and even the entire Demon Realm.
Those ant-like beings were nothing but tools in captivity, and their fate was to be enslaved or obliterated.
In G.o.d’s eyes, all life is just a plaything.
G.o.d?
Chen Rui closed his eyes, and there was an endless galaxy in his mind.
There were countless creatures in the galaxy.
Life.
For a time, Chen Rui was lost in thought.
