Chapter 37 Island
Suk finally learned the secret of the birth of the planet's emperor, but he was still completely baffled by much more.
For example... what could make a Saint (Eternal Level) break through to Emperor (Cosmic Level) in one go?
You should know that in the universe, everything that can help someone break through to the cosmic level is incredibly expensive!
The cost of forcibly cultivating a single first-tier universe-level being is enough to buy hundreds of universe-level beings.
Suk was also very curious.
He had a vague feeling that the secrets involved were not simply about making someone an emperor.
The existence of the stone gate may have a deeper meaning.
However, this seems to be the most important secret concerning the Great Emperor. Every Great Emperor who emerged from behind the stone gate kept it a secret, and those who survived but failed to emerge from the stone gate were even more unaware. Even the Great Emperor's descendants and disciples did not know the secret.
No one in the world knows how the emperor became emperor.
"So, so this world has such amazing things." Kadibus's face flushed red, seemingly incredibly excited. "It's truly exhilarating!"
Upon seeing Cardibos's appearance, Leon immediately said, "Saint Cardibos, you should also know that since the Great Emperor passed away thousands of years ago, the old order no longer exists. Various races rose up, splitting into the current situation. My Shan people are also considered a powerful race on the continent, with many high-level saints, and even peak saints, among them..."
"But besides my Shan people, there are also sea people, snow people, winged people, beastmen, stone people... and many other races in the world. Some of these races are not to be underestimated, and are no less powerful than my Shan people," Leon said solemnly. "The opening time of the new stone gate is approaching. No matter what force it is, they will spare no expense to enter the gate, hoping to give birth to a great emperor within their race to rule the world..."
"Saint Kadi, you are also from our Shan people lineage, and you are a high-level saint. If you are willing to return to our Shan people clan and join our Shan people army in the future, you may have a chance to become an emperor," Leon tempted.
Kadibus glanced at Leon. "You have this chance to become emperor, don't you want it yourself? Are you willing to give it to me?"
He outwardly showed interest, but then hesitated, saying, "I'm only an eighth-level Saint. How can I compare to those peak Saints? Even if there were such an opportunity, it wouldn't be our turn, would it?"
Leon said seriously, "Saint Kadi, you are underestimating yourself. Who says that you can't become an emperor if you're not a peak saint?" He lowered his voice, "Historical records show that among the saints who entered, there were many low-level ones. This proves that the opportunities at the Stone Gate are not just about strength, but also about other factors. There have even been seventh-level saints who became emperors through a series of fortuitous events. Saint Kadi, you and I may not be without a chance."
He is tempting me.
Kadibus remained silent for a while, as if deep in thought. Saint Leon sat there with a smile, not urging him on. The cat-eyed woman and the black-winged man beside him exchanged a strange glance.
They were also seventh-order saints, how could they not be tempted by the opportunity to become emperors? But they were from other races, not Shan people, not even mixed-race, which made things a bit awkward.
No matter how generous the Shan people are, they would never allow a powerful person who is not one of their own to easily obtain the opportunity to become an emperor.
"Alright, I can join you, but I need to know more about Emperor Cheng," Cardibos said in a deep voice.
Saint Leon seemed unsurprised by Cardibos's choice and immediately smiled, "Don't worry, since you're one of us, we certainly won't hide anything from you. However, Brother Cardibos, you'll need to return to the capital for a more formal confirmation and obtain the approval of our elders' council before proceeding to the next step."
"Alright, I'll go back with you." Kadibus had already received instructions from Suk and said without hesitation. His decisive attitude brought a smile to Saint Leon's face.
In his view, the Saint Kadi before him was not only an eighth-level Saint, but his strength was likely close to that of those peak Saints.
Every peak saint is a pillar of power!
If it were just an internal struggle within his own clan, Leon would certainly not want another powerful competitor. However, this is a battle between various forces, and it is fierce and brutal, with no regard for the cost. Every time the stone gate opens, a bloodbath will ensue in the struggle to become the emperor.
The Shanren tribe will also concentrate its elite forces for a final stand! Every additional strongman means one more chance.
Whichever race produces a Great Emperor can dominate the world for 100,000 years! That's a full 100,000 years!! Enough for any power to go crazy.
Historical records even mention instances where emperors, before their deaths, ruthlessly purged various factions to clear obstacles for their descendants, ensuring their own descendants would become emperors and the throne would be passed down through generations—a truly audacious ambition.
This was also the second bloodiest era after the Dark Ages and Turmoil!
Of course, if these emperors' schemes succeed, all will be well; but if they fail, the newly born emperors will not hesitate to annihilate them!
After all, the stone gate usually opens only after a Great Emperor has fallen for thousands of years (Great Emperors can live for 100,000 years, but they usually live as Saints for thousands of years before becoming Great Emperors). At that time, without the Great Emperor, even if a family has many strong members, it may not be able to stop the combined counterattack of other crazy forces.
Kadibus wasn't worried about any accidents if they went back, as Suk's spaceship was hidden on the planet and could come to pick them up at any time given its speed.
Thus, both sides got what they wanted this time, and everyone was happy.
Lord Aki, who had made a meritorious report, also received a reward from above and was overjoyed.
Inside the spaceship.
Suk stroked his chin, pondering the information he had received earlier.
"Judging from what Leon said, it seems that the stone gate of Mount Gulei will open soon, and the Emperor's opportunity will appear."
He couldn't help but look down at his hands; he was still only at the second level of the planetary stage.
How can a second-tier planetary-level being, even with a few celestial-level beings, compete with thousands of celestial-level beings from Ancient Thunder Star?
Furthermore, it's unclear whether the Emperor's opportunities are useful at the planetary level.
His strength is so weak, yet he dares not venture in recklessly; that would be irresponsible towards his own life.
"Even if they're useless to me, I can still send Liumira, Hail, and the others in to explore the interior." Suk's eyes were deep. "Although there are risks, if even one of them can stand out and successfully advance to the cosmic level, having another cosmic-level subordinate would be a huge help to me."
One cosmic-level being is worth more than a thousand ninth-tier celestial-level beings; it's enough for Suk to send his subordinates on a risky mission.
However, how to get Liu Mila and the others in depends on the situation.
Near the vast, boundless sea off the Sea Dragon Continent, the C6-class spaceship quietly landed on an island. The ship was optically camouflaged, so as long as it didn't make too much noise, it wouldn't be detected from a distance. The slave guards emerged to establish a defensive line and clear out any dangerous creatures nearby. Having spent so many days on the ship, and unsure how much longer they would be staying, Suk and his crew wanted to get some fresh air on the planet's surface.
Meanwhile, Kadibus's group had already returned to the capital of Qingze Kingdom with the special envoy team.
