Chapter 598: Time-Limited Tool

The origin place of the Great Dao Ark.

Since the Third Elder left, only two figures remained here, namely the Second Elder and the Great Elder of the Multiverse Alliance, who together guard the origin of the Ark.

"Interesting, the Third Elder has brought back a Great Venerable."

The Second Elder spoke in surprise.

The Multiverse Alliance is, after all, just an alliance, not a centrally unified empire. Therefore, even among the elders, they are not overly familiar with one another, each having their own factions.

That is why their forms of address are so polite and distant.

"I imagine this Great Venerable is the one who recently ascended, causing tremors across countless eras. But why did the Third Elder bring him onto the Ark? A Great Venerable cannot stay in the Great Void for long," the Great Elder said in an indifferent tone.

The next moment, a stream of light tore through the Void and appeared in this origin place, transforming into a Great Dao Rune; it was a message sent back by the Third Elder. The two perceived it, and their expressions immediately turned strange.

So, the anomaly they sensed earlier was actually because of this Great Venerable? He even killed a Venerable of their Multiverse Alliance. Yet, the Third Elder has also recruited him into the Multiverse Alliance.

The Second Elder's brows furrowed tightly.

"The Third Elder is truly generous in his dealings. The position of Guest Elder is one thing, but he actually wants to promise him the position of Vice Alliance Master? Is he not afraid that such a request will displease the Alliance Master?"

"Although a Great Venerable is indeed powerful and transcendent, as you just said, a Great Venerable cannot stay in the Void for long; sooner or later, he will be suppressed and repelled. At that time, he will be of no use."

"Promising such a high position to a useless person?"

This Second Elder was somewhat dissatisfied.

Although they did tell the Third Elder not to act rashly or cause trouble when he went to investigate, was this price not a bit too high just to avoid trouble?

Moreover, this is under the premise that he killed a Venerable of their Multiverse Alliance, and yet they are promising such a high position? This is simply slapping their Multiverse Alliance in the face.

If this were a normal time and he were the one handling it, he would absolutely not give this Great Venerable such face. It is not as if the Multiverse Alliance lacks the foundation to threaten a Great Venerable!

He does not believe that any Great Venerable would dare to risk being completely suppressed and repelled by the Void to fight them to the death.

"Why must the Second Elder's words be so extreme? After all, he is a Great Venerable. Furthermore, the position of Guest Elder is merely a nominal title with no real power, so what is the harm? As for the position of Vice Alliance Master, it must ultimately be asked of the Alliance Master; if the Alliance Master agrees, then whatever we say is useless. If the Alliance Master does not agree, then whatever the Third Elder says is also useless," the Great Elder said calmly.

The Great Elder said calmly.

"I just don't like the Third Elder's attitude. Does he really think the Multiverse Alliance is his own family? He dares to give away anything and any position? Even the Alliance Master wouldn't dare to say such things."

The Second Elder sneered.

Since the Third Elder was not here, he spoke his mind directly.

Then, his tone shifted and softened.

"But fortunately, the Third Elder still knows the gravity of the situation and did not inform that Great Venerable of the true core plan. Although I don't know if that Great Venerable will be suspicious, it can be considered neither a merit nor a fault."

The Great Elder ignored the Second Elder's condescending evaluation.

He continued to speak calmly.

"Let us take out the Secret Techniques and treasures from the Alliance that can mitigate the Void's repulsion and suppression, and gift them to that Great Venerable. Then, we can use this as a condition to guide him to complete some steps of the plan, as long as we don't let him discover the true purpose."

"Although the outcome of that Great Venerable being suppressed by the Great Void into a prisoner or repelled as an Outsider will not change, at least we can delay it for a while. As long as we can drag it out until the core plan is completed, it can be considered making the best use of everything."

He wanted to use Li Heng as a time-limited tool to help the Alliance's core plan proceed smoothly. After all, he is a Great Venerable; as long as he can be utilized, relying on the realm and power of a Great Venerable will absolutely allow the plan's efficiency to skyrocket.

If not for the fact that the Great Venerable realm is too strong, he would even want to use this tool to death. In any case, there is no need to repair it after use, and sooner or later, it will be suppressed and repelled by the Great Void.

The Second Elder nodded, not refuting this topic.

Although the Great Venerable realm is powerful, it appears extremely awkward due to the suppression and repulsion of the Great Void. If they were not clear about the details of the Great Venerable realm, perhaps they would be extremely fearful and respectful. But they are very clear, so they have no sense of fear or respect.

Not to mention that they also have the confidence to contend with a Great Venerable.

"However, we must be careful; this is a risky move. Once that Great Venerable discovers our true core plan, it is highly likely that variables will emerge that are beyond our control."

"There is even a possibility that this Great Venerable had already sensed our plan before, which is why he approached our Multiverse Alliance." For the sake of safety, the Second Elder reminded him.

"This does indeed carry some risk. Let us report this matter to the Alliance Master first. Calculating the time, the Alliance Master should be returning soon. It is fitting for the Alliance Master to come forward and Town that Great Venerable."

The Great Elder nodded. A point of spiritual light suddenly appeared before him, transforming into a Great Dao Rune. He infused it with the information he wanted to convey, and it immediately tore through the Void and departed, escaping into the dark Unknown.

On the Great Dao Ark.

The Third Elder, who had been accompanying Li Heng to browse, received the message that the Great Elder and Second Elder would be coming over, and his heart immediately relaxed. These two old fellows were, after all, sensible and agreed to this move of his, though he imagined they must have cursed him quite a bit in private.

He also knew that his operation was a risky move.

Could the true core plan be hidden from a Great Venerable? Regarding this point, he truly had no confidence. But he felt that this should be the best result.

After all, from the first moment he saw this Great Venerable, he knew very clearly that this Great Venerable was absolutely not a character to be trifled with; small favors would not send him away.

As for being his enemy, that goes without saying.

How could one provoke a Great Venerable enemy during the critical period of the plan and cause unnecessary trouble? Let alone him, even if the Alliance Master were here, he would have to handle a Great Venerable with great care.

It is just... those two old fellows actually asked him to secretly guide this Great Venerable to help with some of the Alliance's plans, so as to push forward the core plan?

He could not help but feel a headache; they were really overestimating him.

This is to hoodwink a Great Venerable.

The thoughts in his mind whirled, various schemes weaving into shape, only to collapse instantly under the suppression of the vast mountain named Great Venerable, leaving his mind in chaos.

He felt helpless in his heart.

How to hoodwink him? A Great Venerable's spiritual sense is not dead.

However, before that, he still needed to offer some benefits to appease this Great Venerable, so that he would not grow suspicious of the Multiverse Alliance, and incidentally, let him develop a certain sense of belonging.

Having made up his mind, his focus returned, and he looked at Li Heng, who was still browsing around with great interest, and said, "Great Venerable, my Multiverse Alliance has countless treasures and Secret Techniques. I wonder what you desire?"

"Then what do you think I desire?"

Li Heng's expression was one of a faint smile.
