141: Chapter 140 Consciousness on the Altar

Listening to Ye Xiu's words.

The already extremely aged Old Emperor withered further, with traces of Death Qi faintly seeping out.

"Fellow Daoist, is there truly no way at all?"

"Don't even think about it. The thing inside the God Altar is not something you can provoke. Even if you could devour it, it wouldn't be long before the Human Emperor descends, and by then, it won't just be you who dies."

Ye Xiu shook his head slightly.

If the Human Emperor's consciousness were truly devoured, it would likely trigger a terrifying catastrophe.

The Human Emperor might even fight his way back from the River of Time.

After all, the consciousness inside the God Altar is essentially a resurrection coin. Daring to use up the Human Emperor's resurrection coin—isn't that just seeking death?

The Old Emperor heaved a long sigh.

He said nothing more.

Just as the two were about to leave, a voice rang out from within the God Altar.

"Latecomer, how about making a deal?"

"A deal? Heh..."

Ye Xiu smiled mockingly. He did not believe that the newborn consciousness within the God Altar could contend with the Human Emperor.

The only reason it still possessed self-awareness now was simply because the Human Emperor had no time to deal with it.

"I can help you achieve the Supreme Realm." The consciousness inside the God Altar continued to entice him.

"Is this how it swindled you too?"

Ye Xiu ignored the voice in the God Altar and turned to ask the decaying Old Emperor.

"It promised me that as long as I rescue it from the God Altar, it would teach me the method to break through to Immortality."

"You believed it? Are you that easy to fool?"

"There is no other way. The path in this Main World has been severed. Furthermore, its power is indeed higher than Immortality," the Old Emperor replied with a complex expression.

Ye Xiu was about to speak.

A voice came from the God Altar once more.

"Latecomer, you carry the aura of the Imperial Court. They are not good people; sooner or later, they will come after you."

"Heh... You certainly know quite a lot."

"I inherited a portion of memories and have witnessed too many unknown things. Latecomer, break open the God Altar, and I can allow you to enter the Supreme Realm."

Facing the promises of the God Altar's consciousness.

Ye Xiu treated it all as nonsense.

The Supreme Realm is no joke; it requires one to evolve their own Heaven and Earth and then merge with it—that is the true Supreme Realm.

If a consciousness with its Dao sealed away could create a Supreme Realm expert, it would have already broken out of the God Altar long ago instead of waiting until now.

Seeing that Ye Xiu ignored it.

The existence inside the God Altar grew anxious: "Latecomer, this Main World holds great terror. The longer you stay, the deeper you will sink."

"Then I'll leave?"

"Don't. Danger and opportunity coexist. Do you not want to master the Human Emperor's Heaven and Earth from ancient times?"

"Based on just you? A remnant consciousness that has developed self-awareness?" Ye Xiu mocked again, not giving the God Altar's consciousness any Face at all.

"Although I am weak, the Human Emperor is the strongest existence in the world. I can help you control his Heaven and Earth and steal his Dao fruit." The words of the God Altar's consciousness were filled with temptation.

Stealing the Human Emperor's Dao fruit.

This is a shortcut to Cultivate.

Unfortunately.

Ye Xiu did not believe it.

The Human Emperor who ruled the ancient times and ended the Taichu Era—how could he possibly be taken down by a consciousness he left behind?

Isn't that ridiculous?

Perhaps the Human Emperor had already calculated the appearance of the God Altar's consciousness.

Cooperating with it would be no different than seeking one's own death.

The aura of the Human Emperor back then was chillingly powerful.

Even if he could use the Immortal Ascension Method and Heaven and Earth Law to break into the Supreme Realm simultaneously, he would not dare to claim he could surely defeat the Human Emperor.

Stealing the Human Emperor's Dao fruit?

Don't make me laugh.

The God Altar's consciousness clearly did not want to give up.

It had waited for countless years.

Finally, an existence above Immortality had arrived, and it could not let this opportunity slip by.

"Latecomer, how about I teach you the Human Emperor Scripture? Once you successfully condense the Human Emperor's Dao, we can make a deal."

"No need. The Human Emperor is not dead yet, and it won't be long before he returns."

Ye Xiu refused again.

Seeing that the Old Emperor wanted to say something, he stopped him with a look.

This God Altar consciousness possessed quite a few of the Human Emperor's memories; he needed to trick it. After all, the Human Emperor's memories definitely contained much that he wanted to know.

Upon hearing the news that the Human Emperor was returning, the God Altar's consciousness was clearly anxious.

Its voice was no longer filled with temptation.

Instead, it carried a hint of skepticism: "In the Boundary Sea, a monster has arrived. If the Human Emperor returns, that monster will surely rush out of the River of Time and tear apart the Main World. The Human Emperor will not let such a thing happen."

A monster?

Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes slightly.

As expected.

The Human Emperor had a reason for not being able to return.

No wonder the ancient times collapsed and the heavens rebelled, yet the Human Emperor never returned to suppress them. It turned out that a monster had rushed out from the Boundary Sea, wanting to enter the River of Time.

Is it the Red-Haired Monster?

A thought flashed through his mind.

Could that monster who tore through the River of Time and suppressed the Eastern Emperor be the one the Human Emperor was blocking?

That was highly likely.

Ye Xiu looked at the vibrating God Altar and continued to bluff: "The Eastern Emperor has emerged and entered the Boundary Sea. That monster chased after the Eastern Emperor and left. Therefore, your plan will be nothing but a bubble after the Human Emperor returns."

The moment the words fell.

The vibrations of the God Altar grew increasingly intense.

"Damn it! How dare that fellow, the Eastern Emperor, emerge and enter the Boundary Sea? He is seeking death! How could the planning of two eras be abandoned so easily? The Eastern Emperor truly deserves to die!"

The words of the God Altar's consciousness became increasingly loud.

It was clearly provoked.

Ye Xiu was slightly stunned as he watched the reaction of the God Altar's consciousness.

He had tricked out a major piece of news.

The Eastern Emperor, the Human Emperor, and the Martial Venerable—these Supreme Positions had collaborated once during the ancient era.

And they had gained some benefits from it.

As for what the collaboration was, he would need to continue tricking it.

Watching the God Altar's consciousness still cursing the Eastern Emperor.

Ye Xiu spoke again: "So, the deal you offered is all nonsense. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. When the Human Emperor returns, I will come to see you. I hope you are still here by then."

"Wait, there's more, I still have bargaining chips..."

The God Altar's consciousness spoke hurriedly.

"Oh? Let's hear it. If you can truly help me break through to the Supreme Realm, I don't mind giving you a hand. After all, even if the Human Emperor returns, I should have become a Supreme Realm expert by then, and self-preservation won't be an issue."

"The embryonic form of the Heavenly Dao."
