Chapter 548: Chapter 41 Let’s Prepare for War (End of Volume)_3
Wang Sheng saw that Yuan Tian Monarch’s attitude had changed and was somewhat surprised; however, he became even more vigilant.
“How did you find out, and who are you exactly?”
“You may call me Yuan Tian Monarch. I come from another world and naturally know a lot.” Yuan Tian Monarch had already thought of a way to stall for time.
The fact that this person had not immediately killed him clearly meant that he wanted something from him, a point Yuan Tian Monarch was sure to exploit.
Therefore, Yuan Tian Monarch did not beat around the bush and said directly, “You must want to get some information from me, right?”
Wang Sheng was not surprised at having his thoughts guessed.
It was all too easy to deduce.
Indeed, that was his purpose.
The information from Planet Will had brought him many benefits, and he was very aware of the importance of information.
This starry sky was quite eerie, but Planet Will was not omnipotent.
Yet, with his current strength, he could find out a lot.
“We can make a deal. I’ll let you go, and you give me some information,” Wang Sheng also spoke directly of his intentions to avoid beating around the bush.
For a mere Sixth Realm entity, who had descended through another’s body, information was the greatest value.
“No problem. What do you want to know?” Yuan Tian Monarch, having achieved his goal, was very cooperative.
Wang Sheng directly asked, “You call yourself Yuan Tian Monarch. Do you know beings like Heavenly Demon True Monarch, Kui Tian Monarch, and others?”
They were communicating through spirit, a world’s understanding of meanings. Whatever Yuan Tian Monarch said through spirit, he could be certain those were the meanings of a True Monarch of this world.
The words “True Monarch” were not taken lightly in their world.
Spiritual communication was very convenient.
Yuan Tian Monarch understood what Wang Sheng had said.
He paused for a moment before saying, “Heavenly Demon True Monarch… It seems you already know about the invasion of your world, but that’s normal for a Seventh Realm powerhouse—It would be strange if you didn’t know.”
Despite saying this, Yuan Tian Monarch believed that the news was informed by World Will.
He was certain in his heart.
Meanwhile, the others from their world had already arrived, and he informed them of the latest news through his Divine Body.
Before long, a fresh plan was in place.
Hearing Yuan Tian Monarch refer to himself as Seventh Realm, Wang Sheng did not object, but he was somewhat puzzled, “From your words, it seems you are not from the Heavenly Demon True Monarch’s world. So why do you call yourself ‘True Monarch’? Also, what does ‘Seventh Realm’ mean?”
Their world also used the terms First Realm, Second Realm.
Could it be a coincidence?
Yuan Tian Monarch answered, “Of course I’m not from there. That world is very terrifying. As for the naming of realms, it’s quite simple…”
After the explanation, Wang Sheng realized that the naming of realms was indeed a coincidence, as other worlds had many paths, and this classification was used to simplify them.
Understanding this, he stopped dwelling on it and asked, “Since you are not from that world, why do you call yourself a ‘True Monarch’? I have communicated in spirit with the people of that world, and the spiritual fluctuations mean the same thing!”
Wang Sheng directly blocked any retreat.
Yuan Tian Monarch did not intend to deceive in this matter, only by telling the truth could the plan proceed, “It’s simple because in our region, their Chaotic Realm is the most powerful and influential. Therefore, their titles have become the titles for everyone in this region—True Monarch, one is called a True Monarch upon reaching the Eighth Realm!”
“Region’s strongest…”
Wang Sheng felt a heavier weight in his heart, having not expected that those invading their world were the region’s strongest.
“What is the highest realm of their strongest?”
“Ninth Realm, the only one in the Ninth Realm, nearly invincible. You must know, as one advances, the gaps between realms grow wider,” Yuan Tian Monarch hinted with an intimidating tone, “and your world has been targeted by them. In less than ten years, an invasion is certain. As a Seventh Realm being, you are powerful, but you cannot withstand them alone. Either flee or await death.”
Wang Sheng detected the threatening undertone in Yuan Tian Monarch’s words, as he made no effort to hide his information.
He frowned and asked, “What do you mean?”
Yuan Tian Monarch revealed a smile, as the core of the plan was revealed: “It’s simple. Your world cannot resist the Chaotic Realm with a Ninth Realm being, but if you submit to us, we can help preserve your world.”
That was their goal.
As long as the world submitted, their own could have a chance to devour the will of this world.
Of course, these were things he definitely could not say.
He couldn’t even mention the existence of World Will.
“Submit?” Wang Sheng felt a surge of emotion but quickly concealed it, “You’ve said the Chaotic Realm has the only Ninth Realm being. How can you stop them?”
“Don’t worry, we have our methods,” Yuan Tian Monarch did not specify.
Wang Sheng had his suspicions, guessing that the Ninth Realm of the Chaotic Realm faced some limitations, otherwise, they would be endangering their own world and it would be impossible for them to promise protection to others.
However, clearly, Yuan Tian Monarch would not admit such crucial information.
He didn’t press further but took the opportunity to ask another question, “Isn’t submitting to you the same as submitting to the so-called Chaotic Realm?”
Hearing this, Yuan Tian Monarch showed some pleasure, thinking Wang Sheng was considering compromise, “No no no, you don’t understand the way of the Chaotic Realm. If they were to invade, they would not leave any survivors, whereas we only need seventy percent of your world’s resources and will not interfere.”
Wang Sheng knew Yuan Tian Monarch was not lying.
Because those from the Chaotic Realm had said, if he submitted, they would allow some people to live, which implied naturally that most beings would die.
But to Wang Sheng, Yuan Tian Monarch’s words sounded like nonsense.
Obviously, this was impossible.
Yet, some believed it to be true.
For instance, the World Will.
[Might as well try to agree, if it can save some beings, resources are trivial]
The World Will had always been there but hadn’t interrupted, only now speaking up.
Wang Sheng nearly rolled his eyes upon hearing this.
The World Will was indeed naive, having only recently come into being, to believe such trivial tricks.
To entrust one’s safety to someone who had only recently shown hostility was the height of folly.
For just moments ago, Yuan Tian Monarch had been ready to sacrifice the beings of the Fourth Realm within the Secret Realm.
If one truly submitted, even if they didn’t go as far as destroying realms, such acts would definitely be commonplace, and furthermore, the inconsistencies in Yuan Tian Monarch’s statements made Wang Sheng suspect other motives.
He just didn’t know what exactly.
His thoughts were in turmoil.
“Should I try a Soul Search?”
It was highly probable that Yuan Tian Monarch’s true nature was at the Eighth Realm, likely not weaker than Wang Sheng, so he hadn’t immediately attempted a Soul Search but instead started with direct questioning.
But now, it seemed he could not extract any more information.
It might be time to consider the last resort.
However, he did not immediately show hostility but asked, “What if I refuse?”
The joy within Yuan Tian Monarch vanished as he stated, “Are you sure, you must realize, with your Seventh Realm cultivation, you cannot resist, the only outcome is death!”
“I don’t fancy being a dog,” Wang Sheng no longer pretended.
Yuan Tian Monarch also realized, Wang Sheng was not just talking nonsense. He referred to the second possibility discussed by his peers, “If you refuse, then you will face the invasion of two worlds. Within ten years, you will confront more than a dozen True Monarchs. The consequences… I need not elaborate. Even if by some stroke of luck you ascend to the Eighth Realm, it will not change the outcome.”
It was a blatant threat.
However, Wang Sheng laughed upon hearing the threat, “Your eagerness betrays you. There must be a motive behind it, a pity you will certainly never tell me. Therefore, I must find out for myself!”
His Divine Thought fully opened, intending to use his Spiritual Body to extract the information directly.
Yuan Tian Monarch was not the least bit panicked, “Even now, in my weakened state, I am not someone a Seventh Realm being can manipulate…”
His essence was of the Eighth Realm, how could he be outdone by a Seventh Realm.
But soon enough, he sensed something was amiss.
“No, you are…”
Without any hesitation, Yuan Tian Monarch fled.
Unfortunately, Wang Sheng intercepted him.
No key information was transmitted back.
Despite his capture, the pride of the Eighth Realm was not unsubstantiated, even after being caught, the portion of his spirit that had arrived self-destructed.
Wang Sheng managed to gather only a little information.
And as Yuan Tian Monarch vanished, the powerhouses of the Great Unity Fourth Realm also came to their senses.
They too had heard much, all standing dumbfounded, their hearts filled with immense shock.
But Wang Sheng roused them.
“Since you’ve all heard, then prepare for war!”
