Chapter 1930: Traitor
Deep inside a dimension in the infinite universe, a voice came out of a misty cloud.
“First Liege, you can stop integrating chaotic cosmoses now. Aza is no longer a threat.”
However, First Liege, who was integrating chaotic cosmoses in a greedy manner, ignored what Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao said. He did not look like he was going to stop at all.
“First Liege, if you don’t stop, I’ll cut off your connection with the infinite universe!” Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao said.
“Can you do that?”
At that moment, First Liege finally lifted his head to look at that cloud. He smirked.
He no longer had any fear in his eyes.
“In order to fight Aza, you shared the infinite universe’s Heavenly Dao authorization with me. That’s how I managed to break through my innate limitations to integrate chaotic cosmoses beyond my limit.”
“You’re now trying to take the authorization back after Aza has been killed. Do you think that’s fair to me?”
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao was rendered speechless by that.
Indeed, it had always treated First Liege as a tool to fight Aza.
Now that Lin Huang had a.s.similated Aza, this tool was naturally no longer of use to it.
It thought that First Liege, who had always been fearful of it, would execute whatever orders it gave without hesitation.
However, that did not seem to be the case at all.
“I’ve checked all of the related rules thoroughly as soon as I obtained the authorization. The infinite universe’s Heavenly Dao authorization is unique. It allows me to break through my innate limitations by sharing a portion of authorization with me, so the current situation is that we both share the same authorization. There’s no difference in the levels of authorization, it’s just that you possess a little more.:
“If I’m unwilling to give up the authorization, there’s nothing that you can do to me.”
“I’m like you now. We’re both Heavenly Dao’s will by nature. You can try to kill me, but as the infinite universe’s Heavenly Dao’s will, as long as the infinite universe’s Heavenly Dao exists, it’s impossible for me to die.”
“As for chasing me out by force, you can’t do that either. You’d have to give up on the authorization that I possess altogether. However, the price is great for you to even consider doing that.”
“The authorization that was initially complete has been shared. You’d encounter a terrifying backlash as the culprit. A light backlash would injure you severely enough to the point that you might not recover even after tens to hundreds of eras. A severe backlash will result in you losing your will entirely, and the entire Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao would return to being a chaotic ma.s.s without consciousness.
“Will you coexist with me or pay the price to kill me? If you think logically, there’s only one correct answer. Am I right?”
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao fell silent immediately.
What First Liege said was completely true.
Ever since it promised to give First Liege a portion of its authority to fight Aza, it had lost control of this matter.
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao’s authorization was unique. Sharing a portion of it would be the equivalent of giving First Liege equal footing as the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao.
It initially thought that First Liege whom it brought up; First Liege who always listened to it, would definitely not go against it even after obtaining the portion of its authorization.
However, it had underestimated this human.
...
How was it possible for First Liege to give up such a precious thing after witnessing its endless powerful possibilities?!
What was loyalty to him?
What was credibility to him?
Was it important to have that, or power?
Was being grateful for his upbringing more important?
Or was possessing endless strength more important?!
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao fell silent. As Heavenly Dao’s will, even though it was betrayed, it did not feel angry or upset.
It fell silent because it was still weighing the consequences of the two options.
If it removed First Liege forcefully, just like what he said, it would mean that it was removing part of the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao’s authorization itself. It would result in a severe backlash.
If it did not do that and chose to coexist with First Liege, First Liege would integrate all of the chaotic cosmoses in the entire infinite universe sooner or later.
The reason being was that he longer had a limit to his Kingdom’s integration. It was only a matter of time before he would achieve that.
When First Liege integrated all of the Kingdoms in the entire infinite inverse, he would have mastered the authorization entirely. By then, the Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao’s original will would become a useless ornament.
Should it fight for its life, or compromise and coexist?
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao weighed the options over and over again, but it just could not decide between the two.
After hesitating for a moment, it chose the third option decisively!
…
The day after he dealt with Aza, Lin Huang’s expression suddenly froze while he was arranging the finis.h.i.+ng touches.
The reason being was that he heard a voice transmission.
“Lin Huang, I need your help!”
He was familiar with this voice, as it came from Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao.
Lin Huang’s Divine Telekinesis pierced through the layers of dimension and he responded quickly.
“I’ve dealt with Aza. What else is there?”
To be honest, he was quite doubtful.
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao had asked for his help last time to deal with Aza.
However, he had a.s.similated Aza now. The Abyss’ plan of invading the infinite universe had basically been resolved now.
It made sense that Lin Huang found it strange that Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao came to ask for his help at such a time.
“It’s about First Liege…” Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao quickly told him about the entire matter.
Lin Huang was stunned when he heard it.
He had never thought that First Liege, who looked honest, would turn traitor.
However, he thought it made sense after giving it some more thought.
After all, not many could resist the temptation of obtaining the Heavenly Dao’s authorization of the entire infinite universe,
Do you think a regular person would be willing to have all of his fortune taken away out of nowhere after he experienced life as the world’s richest man for a few days?
The answer was clearly no!
Lin Huang fell into a long period of silence after listening to Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao’s story carefully.
He finally spoke a moment later.
“So, what do you need me to do?”
“I hope that you can integrate all of the chaotic cosmoses before First Liege does!” Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao finally said.
“Do you think I can do that? He has Heavenly Dao’s authorization. The number of chaotic cosmoses he integrates is growing exponentially every day. Although the number of chaotic cosmoses I integrate is high, in the long run, it’s only a matter of time before he will surpa.s.s me,” Lin Huang said honestly.
First Liege possessed Heavenly Dao’s authorization, which was the equivalent of having an invincible cheat code in a game. Even if Lin Huang was a boss at the highest level in a game, he could not fight an invincible cheat code.
Great Chaotic Heavenly Dao only spoke again after a moment of hesitation, “I can share a portion of my authorization with you!”
Lin Huang raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He thought for a moment with his head lowered, after which he replied, “I refuse to accept that.”
