Chapter 614: The Position of the Alliance Leader

The invitation perhaps truly possesses no great power.

Yet it has truly and practically bestowed upon Li Heng the position of Deputy Leader of the Multiverse Alliance, staining him with the great Causality of the Multiverse Alliance, locking him in, and making it difficult for him to break free.

Even though he is a Great Venerable, he senses intense resistance.

He even feels that the Causality of this Deputy Leader position is deepening layer by layer, from the surface to the interior, as if it wishes to infiltrate the depths of his origin, locking him down completely so he cannot shed the identity of Deputy Leader.

In the end, it might even turn the guest into the host, making him first the Deputy Leader of the Multiverse Alliance, and only then Li Heng himself.

This is like some cultivators who take the wrong path.

They do not cultivate themselves but instead run off to cultivate an Independent Dao Fruit, condensing some position of Heavenly Venerable or Dao Lord, and then letting their Undying Spiritual Light reside upon it to attain the supreme state of transcending space-time. Although it seems to have a vast future, such a Dao Fruit can be seized by others, kicking oneself out of this Dao Fruit and instead letting others become the so-called Heavenly Venerable or Dao Lord.

It is exactly like cultivating oneself into a pilot of a giant machine.

Li Heng at this moment has to admit the heaviness of this Causality, deeply feeling the importance of why some systems need to "reduce to Emptiness" in order to achieve Transcendence; the weight of Causality is not something an ordinary person can bear.

Not to mention that this is the heaviness of the entire Multiverse Alliance force; even the volume of infinite heavens and origins is as small as an ant before this heaviness, not even amounting to one-infinite-th.

Only in this way can there be a probability of binding a Great Venerable.

"Congratulations to the Great Venerable on ascending to the position of Deputy Leader."

The Third Elder beside him does not see the essence and remains somewhat unwilling in his heart, but in order to conform to etiquette, he can only bow from afar to Li Heng to express his congratulations.

Li Heng's expression is calm.

He watches coldly from the sidelines as the Multiverse Alliance now boils. The current pity can be described as flowers embroidered on brocade and oil poured on fire, and thus the resulting pressure of Causality is even more Terror-inducing, as if Mount Tai were pressing down on his head.

If this were any other ordinary Great Venerable, it would basically be a disaster, and they would have no choice but to honestly serve as the Deputy Leader of the Multiverse Alliance. After all, besides having to deal with this Causality, a Great Venerable must also deal with the Causality from the Great Void.

It is just a pity that he does not need to deal with the latter's Causality now.

"Do you think I will definitely serve as the Deputy Leader?"

Li Heng chuckles.

Upon hearing this, the Third Elder is stunned, and a sense of foreboding rises in his heart. This is the position of Deputy Leader, after all—one person below ten thousand! He is not willing to take it? And once one becomes the Deputy Leader, one is considered a member of the Multiverse Alliance. As long as no trouble arises in the future, once the current Leader abdicates, he himself would be the Leader.

You are not willing to accept such a status? Then what do you want?

"I ask the Deputy Leader to instruct me."

The Third Elder's expression is calm as he asks.

He finally sees clearly the methods of his own Leader, using the heavy pressure of Causality to restrict a Great Venerable; the ingenuity of the method is admirable, and in some parts, it cannot be a hair more or a thread less, otherwise, it would fall short of success at the last moment.

This... is truly the method of the Leader.

Since the founding of the Multiverse Alliance, there have been ten Leaders, and the current Leader is the tenth. Among these ten, the one he admires most is the current Leader, who rose abruptly, defeated countless competitors, and every opponent was convinced of their defeat, never having lost in his life, and all feeling that their loss was not unjust.

Could it be that the Leader is now going to add another achievement, defeating this Great Venerable and making him lose with conviction?

Thinking of this, his body trembles slightly.

It is not fear, but excitement. This is a Great Venerable; if the Leader can defeat him and win his heart, that would be a gift of a hundred benefits and no harm to the entire Multiverse Alliance.

"You all underestimate my appetite."

Li Heng shakes his head and smiles; he does not intend to be out of the game.

Whether actively or passively.

That Leader who has never appeared might have thought that either he would rely on the Causality of the Multiverse Alliance to suppress him, this Great Venerable, or that he, this Great Venerable, would erupt with more powerful strength, escape his calculations, and break free from the Causality to leave.

But perhaps he did not think of a third possibility.

Being turned into the host by him.

However, this is not surprising. After all, this matter now, and even the entire Multiverse Alliance, is a trap for Li Heng, a cage trapping him. Ordinary people would think of struggling out of the trap and leaving the cage; who would think of drilling into the trap?

Doing so is either being foolish or seeking one's own death.

"Why does the Deputy Leader say this?"

The sense of foreboding in the Third Elder's heart grows stronger. Having entered the Leader's calculations, this Great Venerable should either be filled with resentment and anger or be disheartened and resigned to his fate, but now the situation is completely contrary to expectations; could it be that an accident is really going to happen?

"I should properly thank your Leader for concretely manifesting the concepts and Causality regarding the power and status of the Multiverse Alliance. Do you know that I have also been looking for these things? It is just right to test my hypothesis."

Li Heng smiles and speaks.

He no longer resists the Causality of the Multiverse Alliance and sits firmly in the position of Deputy Leader. Then, in an instant, he sublimates to the extreme, his aura erupts, and he begins to reverse-usurp the true position of the Leader.

Under the influence of such concepts, two thrones appear in the Void: one as vast as the Great Sun, upon which sits a blurred shadow, and the other resides at the seat of the throne, appearing small and exquisite, covered by the shadow of the other vast Great Sun throne, where Li Heng sits temporarily.

These two symbolize the positions of Leader and Deputy Leader respectively, and the gap and relationship between them are analogous to the Sun and Moon; all the power of the Deputy Leader position originates from the Leader, just as moonlight originates from the Sun.

But since he has taken this position of Deputy Leader, he does not intend to be the so-called moon, subject to others. It just so happens that the so-called Leader is not at home right now.

Consequently, Li Heng slowly rises from the throne of the Deputy Leader, ignores the Causality of the so-called Deputy Leader position, and begins to walk slowly toward the throne of the Leader.

"Not good!"

The Third Elder thinks to himself that it is bad, his eyelids twitching; he gasps, not expecting this Great Venerable to be so bold. To actually defy such heavy pressure of Causality and conversely usurp the position of the Leader?

And this even has a certain possibility.

After all, this is a Great Venerable!

For others, he might mock them for overestimating their own strength; is the position of Leader something one can just take and hold? If it has not been agreed upon by the entire Multiverse Alliance, no one can sit firmly in the position of Leader.

But for a Great Venerable, that is not necessarily the case.

That is an existence whose realm and cultivation are far more powerful than theirs!

"We have invited a wolf into the house! Quickly, strike and stop this Great Venerable!" The Third Elder anxiously transmits his voice to the other two elders, then uses the Alliance Secret Technique to urge the Causal Chain, wanting to pull Li Heng back.

But the so-called Causal Chain does not even reach Li Heng's vicinity.

It all shatters, turning into nothingness.

A Great Venerable cannot be insulted!

Then, Li Heng sits safely on the throne of the Leader.
