Chapter 499: The Heavenly Emperor Scripture
The Heavenly Emperor's teacher, the Imperial Teacher?
The spirit of the throne was greatly shocked in its heart.
What exactly happened after Li Heng touched that Light Orb just now? Why did a bizarre identity as Imperial Teacher suddenly appear? Even if he had inherited the Heavenly Emperor Authority within that light sphere, it should have been the identity of the second Heavenly Emperor.
How could this be called Imperial Teacher?
"I made a deal with your Majesty."
Li Heng caught a glimpse of the throne spirit's lingering shock and confusion, smiled, and continued to explain, immediately radiating golden light and manifesting the authority and aura related to the Heavenly Emperor.
His figure also began to become infinitely magnificent, like the Supreme Heavenly Emperor standing above the heavens, looking down upon the birth and destruction of all ages.
"As the Supreme Imperial Teacher, there's no problem with me holding onto the Heavenly Emperor Authority, right? After all, the second Heavenly Emperor hasn't been chosen yet."
Li Heng continued to smile.
The spirit of the throne was instantly silent.
This sentence seemed to be a death trap.
Consequently, it spoke very "counsel-ly," "No problem, no problem, Lord Imperial Teacher, as long as you are happy."
The spirit of the throne hurriedly fawned over Li Heng, not daring to have the slightest hesitation. Monstrous waves surged in its heart; it had never imagined such a situation would occur, that His Majesty would actually make a deal with this living being. And even let this living being become the Imperial Teacher?
And from the words just now.
He was actually even allowed to select the second Heavenly Emperor? What kind of terrifying power is this! It is even vaguely above the Heavenly Emperor! Your Majesty, why would you do this?
It did not believe that Li Heng was lying; the aura Li Heng was currently radiating, as well as the authority and power manifested, had already proven that the words just now were true and without falsehood.
But even so, it still did not understand.
And how could this living being communicate personally with His Majesty, who is battling the Unknown and whose whereabouts are unknown? What exactly happened? Is His Majesty alright now? How is the situation?
It felt a faint sense of unease in its heart.
After all, the Majesty in its memory was incomparably proud, the true number one powerhouse of the heavens, yet such a powerhouse let this mysterious living being become the Imperial Teacher.
It carried somewhat of a sense of entrusting an orphan.
"Do not overthink it, your Majesty is doing just fine right now."
Li Heng naturally knew the thoughts of this throne spirit and said calmly. Even if that Heavenly Emperor was in a dangerous situation, judging from the previous conversation, this kind of danger was not yet too perilous.
The Heavenly Emperor's words were also full of vigor. Of course, not being dangerous now does not mean it won't be later; this he could not guarantee.
"Imperial Teacher, are you telling the truth?"
Because of being "counsel," the throne spirit very naturally switched its form of address. But the next moment, it regretted asking this question. Because this question was too stupid, and there was no meaning in asking it.
This would instead make this Imperial Teacher look down on it.
However, Li Heng could not be bothered to haggle over so much with the throne spirit.
"Whether it is true or false, judge for yourself."
Li Heng raised his eyebrows slightly, ignored the throne spirit, and turned his attention to the light sphere emitting seven-colored light. With a light tap of his finger, invisible ripples surged, and from within it poured out countless pieces of materialized information that could fill the Great Void.
These pieces of information appeared before his eyes, then transformed, forming one Great Dao Rune after another, and then arranged and combined, actually forming a supreme scripture, radiating supreme pressure.
"No wonder the restrictions on this light sphere are so strong."
"So this is the orthodoxy inheritance left behind by the Heavenly Emperor, the *Heavenly Emperor Scripture*? Interesting, the path recorded in this scripture is indeed interesting; no wonder the Heavenly Emperor dares to claim to be the number one in the heavens?"
Li Heng observed this scripture and said with a light laugh.
The spirit of the throne trembled in fear, closing its eyes—the eyes of its soul—fearing that if it were not careful, it would see this *Heavenly Emperor Scripture*.
The pressure radiated by the *Heavenly Emperor Scripture* already made it very afraid, let alone the fact that this was His Majesty's orthodoxy inheritance; it had no qualifications to read it, and to look at it would be a violation and disrespectful.
And after Li Heng spoke his evaluation of the *Heavenly Emperor Scripture*.
The spirit of the throne regretted it even more, hurriedly closing its ears as well. With its level, it could not listen to such things; the more it knew, the faster it would die.
Especially fearing to hear more words disrespectful to the Heavenly Emperor.
However, the next moment.
Even though it had closed its ears and shut off its five senses, the chanting of the scripture still echoed endlessly in its mind.
The spirit of the throne was greatly shocked, wanting to forget these scriptures. But the more it wanted to forget, the less it could; even if it forcibly deleted the memory, it would quickly recover.
It wanted to avoid these scriptures and refuse this knowledge.
But these scriptures and knowledge were chasing after it.
"Do not resist, listen honestly and practice honestly. This is the Heavenly Emperor scripture specially prepared by the Heavenly Emperor for the second Heavenly Emperor. As one of the seeds for the second Heavenly Emperor, how can you not practice it?"
Li Heng laughed in the ear of the throne spirit.
The spirit of the throne was instantly dumbfounded.
It? An artifact spirit, a Heavenly Emperor seed?
What kind of joke is this!?
"Lord Imperial Teacher, you aren't joking, are you?"
The spirit of the throne asked in confusion.
"Who is joking with you? You are one of the Heavenly Emperor seeds I have identified. Of course, it is not just you; all sentient beings are seeds for the second Heavenly Emperor that I have identified."
Li Heng replied with a smile.
The spirit of the throne was instantly stunned.
What the hell?
All sentient beings are Heavenly Emperor seeds?
It suspected it had heard wrong; this couldn't be a dream, right!
"One Heavenly Emperor will only rule over the beings of the heavens, but countless Heavenly Emperors will rule over themselves. How is having only one noble Heavenly Emperor enough? If there are not countless noble Heavenly Emperors, everyone like a dragon, how can one resist the End Tribulation of the Great Void, and resist the Mysterious Calamity?"
Li Heng smiled slightly.
"But, Lord Imperial Teacher, everyone being like a dragon means..."
"It means strife, it means bloodshed, it means death, it means corpses strewn across the fields, it means everything will head toward an end amidst all the strife and Chaos, right?"
Li Heng answered before the Spirit of the Throne could.
The Spirit of the Throne fell silent at once, a look of confusion appearing on him; since this Imperial Teacher had long realized this point, why did he still do it?
Although the Great Void is infinite and boundless, as long as you are willing to expand, there are endless resources, and there is fundamentally no need to fight with others or scramble for a piece of the cake; logically speaking, the possibility of everyone being like a dragon exists.
But precisely because the Great Void is infinite and boundless, it is impossible for the equally infinite number of individual living beings to be of one mind.
There will inevitably appear some madmen who cannot be bothered with the idea of everyone being like a dragon or expanding into the Unknown, but instead think about how to seize the top spot before the existing system and become the sole supreme being.
After all, rather than working oneself to death expanding into the Unknown.
I might as well exploit the living beings in the known realm.
In this way, it will trigger endless Chaos and strife.
"If you think that way, then you are underestimating your Majesty; I just said that this 'Heavenly Emperor Scripture' was specifically prepared for the second Heavenly Emperor."
Li Heng shook his head and said calmly.
At first, he really thought this 'Heavenly Emperor Scripture' was the fundamental Dao of that Heavenly Emperor. But after browsing through the entire text, he discovered it was not. Perhaps it might involve a part of the fundamental Dao, but it is definitely not the whole.
Because this 'Heavenly Emperor Scripture' is too...
He did not know how to describe it.
Beautiful? Obsessive? Absolute?
But in short, there is one point: the foundation of this 'Heavenly Emperor Scripture' is to forge a perfect Heavenly Emperor. A being who is just, selfless, possessing Wisdom, brave, philanthropic, and deeply loves all living things.
And this is not some kind of brainwashing.
It can only be called enlightenment, a self-sublimation.
Because the 'Heavenly Emperor Scripture' has a prerequisite for cultivation, which is that one must also agree with this point!
