Chapter 567: The Secret of the Multiverse Alliance

"Death is not necessarily the end; after Eternal Silence, there is also a new beginning."

At this moment, that Heavenly Emperor figure walked up to the Three Elders of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity—who had already become torches and were about to turn into fireworks—or perhaps it was just the Three Elders, and spoke softly.

The Three Elders of Fortune, Prosperity, and Longevity realized they had been defeated and perished; they remained silent, keeping their heads bowed, waiting for their end, waiting for the flames to consume everything they were and bring about complete Eternal Silence.

Only when they heard the words of this Heavenly Emperor figure did they slightly raise their heads to look toward him.

They murmured softly, lips moving, their voices extremely faint, trembling as they spoke, somewhat slurred. Yet, there was not a trace of emotion in them, as if they were merely speaking in a calm statement.

"Is it truly you, Your Majesty? You have finally appeared, finally returned. It is a pity that we three, in the end, could not wait for your return. We beg Your Majesty's forgiveness."

The Heavenly Emperor figure was silent.

He knew that the three of them did not care about his authenticity at this moment, but rather wanted to speak their final words before their Eternal Silence, addressing the one who had not appeared during the Heavenly Court's Great Tribulation and was suspected of having abandoned all the Heavenly Court's Immortal Gods.

"The cause of yesterday is the fruit of today; you may go."

After a brief silence, he spoke, saying calmly.

As the words fell, the burning of the flames reached its end, completely consuming the three of them, finally causing them to transform into the most brilliant fireworks, pyrotechnics.

Li Heng, on his side, also received the notification that the Source Power had been credited.

Ten thousand Golden Source Points per person, so he had harvested thirty thousand Golden Source Points at this moment, which could be called a bumper harvest. After excluding the twenty thousand Golden Source Points needed for his recent upgrade, his total amount of Golden Source Points had now reached fifty-five thousand!

However, it only looked like a lot; it was not much to spend.

Because the development of the next stage, the Three Pure Heavens, had also increased tenfold, requiring one hundred thousand Golden Source Points each. Judging from this situation, he was still just a poor man, without financial freedom.

But he was not anxious, nor was he in a hurry to develop the next stage of the Three Pure Heavens. The Three Pure Heavens at this moment were not yet a complete entity.

First, it lacked the Jade Pure Realm Clear Subtle Heaven that symbolized Origin; second, he had not yet obtained the Absolute Element, missing two whole puzzle pieces. The top priority was still to complete these puzzle pieces and lay a good foundation; otherwise, it would be difficult to advance further.

Moreover, he was still far from twenty thousand Golden Source Points, not to mention that he had to keep a portion as an emergency reserve. As the saying goes, haste makes waste, so he could not be in a hurry.

"What are your thoughts on sending off your former subjects?"

Li Heng looked at the Heavenly Emperor figure and said calmly.

"What thoughts could there be? It is nothing but Causality. It is just that if I return in the future, I must find a fellow Daoist to discuss the Dao. With your almost unreasonable speed of progress, fellow Daoist, I fear you will soon reach my current realm, so a discussion of the Dao would be considered relatively fair."

The Heavenly Emperor figure was without sorrow or joy, and said softly.

Li Heng raised an eyebrow.

The implication of these words was that he was not strong enough? However, he was not surprised; after all, this was a Supreme Heavenly Emperor who had suppressed an entire era. So many years had passed; it would be unreasonable if he had not progressed.

And he had also captured several keywords.

"Current realm," "relatively fair."

This seemed to be saying that his own speed of progress was fast, but even if he, Li, soon reached the current realm of the Heavenly Emperor, he might not necessarily reach the Heavenly Emperor's subsequent realm?

Otherwise, he would not have said "relatively fair," because if it were a battle at the same realm, it should be fair without adding the word "relatively." One has to say, this Heavenly Emperor was truly confident?

Li Heng's thoughts flowed, and then he smiled slightly.

"Then I shall wait for you to return, fellow Daoist. Of course, perhaps waiting is not necessarily required. However, there seems to be a powerful being descending in that direction, out of place with the surrounding Great Void. Do you know their origin?"

The Heavenly Emperor figure pretended not to hear Li Heng's counterattack; he did not want to dwell on such meaningless topics anymore, and followed Li Heng's lead to answer the question.

"Why must you ask me, fellow Daoist? I presume you have already guessed. In the past, I once told you that when I was traveling upstream against the Time-Space Mother River, I discovered a Time-Space Source Point hidden extremely deep, and thus discovered the time-space behind the Time-Space Source Point, an even more ancient past."

Listening to the Heavenly Emperor's answer, Li Heng was lost in thought.

Did the Multiverse Alliance really come from an even more ancient past? Standing before the source of time and light, outside the history of the heavens? Combined with the things he had previously come into contact with regarding the Multiverse Alliance, such as the universe manager from the Multiverse Alliance he had once killed.

Did this place seem to have no signs of Calamity or monsters? Or were they rare? Otherwise, that universe manager would not have had no reaction to the word "Calamity" back then.

Then this was an extremely peculiar place.

Based on this, he associated it with many things, such as the Void Trading Balance that only appeared after the Heavenly Emperor left the Great Void, and the prototypes behind those ten Ominous Puppets.

Even the behind-the-scenes organization that created the Infinite...

All kinds of doubts were born and piled up in his heart.

However, he had no need to hide; only through exchange could one obtain newer information. Except for individual extreme secrets, he stated all his speculations.

He intended to hear the opinion of this Heavenly Emperor who was far away from the Great Void.

The Heavenly Emperor figure appeared very surprised.

"So, after I left, the Great Void underwent so many changes? But if you want to count on me to provide all the answers, you don't need to think about that; there are many things you mentioned that I don't know either. After all, I have long been far away from the Great Void, deep in the Wuqiong Weizhi."

He shook his head and said.

"Perhaps the only thing I can answer is one point. That is, regarding that more ancient past, where the Multiverse Alliance is located. In fact, the place where they are is not a land of innate Sacred beings. The reason why there are no Calamity monsters, or why they are extremely rare, is simply because they are hiding."

"They are hiding, concealing themselves, nothing more."

As he spoke, a rumbling sound came from the surrounding Great Void, and Li Heng frowned slightly. He sensed that this was not a Terror descending or a strong enemy attacking, but a natural response of the Great Void, which seemed to have been triggered by the words spoken by the Heavenly Emperor figure.

The Heavenly Emperor figure gradually shook his head.

"It seems I underestimated them. Even though I have already left the Great Void and am in the Wuqiong Weizhi, the words spoken here still trigger a mysterious response, causing the Great Void to vibrate."

Li Heng frowned.

Could it be that this passage was the information the Heavenly Emperor figure mentioned earlier, which was related to the more ancient past but could not be detailed and required him to explore it himself?

"Interesting, it actually derives a mysterious power to erase the existence of this figure of mine. Then I formally retract my previous evaluation of them; there are still capable people among them. However, what I know and what I wanted to say have all been said; it is indeed time to go."

The Heavenly Emperor figure smiled and spoke, gradually dissipating into nothingness.

And at this moment, an angry shout resounded through the Void.

"Who is it! Which insider dares to leak information!"

The figure of Kong Zunzhe appeared.
