Chapter 454

Since the moment of being sealed, preparations and schemes began, laying out plans over eons of ages, even enduring and lying dormant for countless trillions of Yanni, all so that its own purpose could be achieved.

Recalling this entire plan, the terror of the Sovereign's handiwork and strategy is beyond words.

Even the current giants of the Primordial World would likely find it hard to compare.

It is not that they lack the Sovereign's intelligence; rather, the Sovereign is far too ancient.

Under such vast stretches of time, it has been honed to the extreme, so its wisdom and strategic abilities have naturally reached their peak, whereas Supreme Hongjun and others still need to grow.

"This is merely an idealized state; the waters of the myriad heavens are too deep, and changes arise endlessly. The outcome may not be as I wish. I earnestly beg the senior to show me the path forward."

"I have been sealed for far too long. If you ask me to submit, I indeed will not do it, nor do I wish to. If I were to submit, what difference would there be from being sealed? In that case, I would rather remain sealed."

"Though I am unwilling to submit, as long as you have need, for any matter, at any time, where you point is where my direction lies. I will not be a servant, but I am willing to be a subordinate."

"I swear upon my own Dao Fruit; should I violate this in any way, may my soul scatter, my body perish, and my Dao vanish. Please bear witness!"

A trace of bitter smile appeared on the Sovereign's cold little face. It gritted its teeth, lowered its head, and spoke in a voice nearly like a plea.

It had been sealed for far too long, so long that it had nearly become numb itself, so long that it could no longer gauge time.

Without doubt, the Sovereign naturally longed to break this seal, to see the world of living beings with its own eyes, to see things brimming with life.

For this, it would be willing to pay any price. Had it not been for the seal, even if asked to submit, it would have offered no resistance.

Being sealed was far too oppressive and binding; naturally, the Sovereign did not wish to be constrained again by submission, for that would be no different from the seal.

Or rather, if it had not been unwilling to submit back then, how could it have been sealed? If it had submitted, wouldn't its original persistence have been worthless? If that were truly the case, the Sovereign's mindset would have collapsed.

By comparison, if it were merely to serve as a subordinate, the Sovereign would be quite willing and very happy to do so.

After all, without being sealed, who could imagine its pain and torment? Who could imagine how delighted and excited it was upon noticing, or rather, after Li Mo appeared of his own accord?

Although it did not know just how awesome Li Mo was, just this status, this unfathomable depth, surely surpassed its imagination and exceeded its understanding; there was no need to ask about cultivation base or strength.

After all, could such an awesome existence be weak in power? With such terrifying and outrageous status, its strength could only be greater; otherwise, where would such status come from!

As long as it could cling to Li Mo's thigh, what was there to fear? It would be utterly secure, directly escaping the sea of bitterness. Moreover, even revenge might not be impossible!

"I am merely a guide, intervening in no battles among the myriad heavens or living beings... 0"

A faint smile seemed to appear at the corner of Li Mo's eye as he spoke slowly.

"A guide?"

A trace of loneliness and disappointment appeared on the Sovereign's exquisite and utterly beautiful little face.

Although it did not understand what "guide" meant, it felt very high-end, grand, and classy.

Hmm, that was not important; what mattered was that Li Mo would not intervene in these matters, a point the Sovereign did understand.

In other words, it still had to wait bitterly, waiting for that sliver of a phase?

A trace of despair surfaced deep within the Sovereign's eyes.

Such a big shot was certainly useless; that would be courting death. Though unwilling, the Sovereign opened its mouth yet still could not utter a single word.

"However..."

At this moment, Li Mo's tone shifted as he slowly spoke.

"However!?"

The Sovereign's spirit jolted; it instinctively looked up at Li Mo, a trace of expectation already appearing in its eyes.

"I am the guide."

Li Mo emphasized again.

"The guide?"

The Sovereign, which had not paid too much attention to that phrase just now, upon hearing Li Mo emphasize it once more, how could it fail to detect a clue? Chanting softly, a thoughtful expression seemed to surface in the Sovereign's eyes.

"Guide... guide... guide..."

Repeating it constantly in its mouth, the Sovereign's eyes gradually grew bright; it had a vague realization in its heart, and its mood once again became expectant.

"I earnestly beg Your Majesty to guide me and point out the way through confusion."

The Sovereign said respectfully.

"A Chaos Era is a Chaos Year, also known as the Boundless Calamity. If there are a hundred million Chaos Years, then it becomes a Chaos Era."

"With every Chaos Era, I appear, enlighten a certain plane, guard that plane, and help it ascend to the Root Supreme, thereby reflecting the Void and the myriad heavens, thus adding another Root and Foundation."

"And for this Chaos Era, I have chosen... the Primordial Plane."

Li Mo spoke slowly, a smile on his face.

Chaos Year!

One Chaos Year equals one Boundless Calamity, and a Calamity is roughly seventy billion years; one Boundless Calamity equals four hundred and eighty million Calamities. Compared to a Yanni, it equals nearly six hundred Yanni.

And a Chaos Era is one hundred million Chaos Years, which makes one Chaos Era.

"Enlightening and guiding out one Root Supreme plane with every Chaos Era?"

The Sovereign's pupils contracted; its heart shook greatly. Even the matter of wanting to unseal itself was temporarily cast aside, leaving only this thought echoing and intertwining endlessly in its mind.

Scalp tingling!

Unbelievable!

The profound meaning contained in this sentence was too terrifying, too incredible, utterly overturning the Sovereign's understanding.

Now, several Root Supreme planes already exist above the myriad heavens, guarding the order of countless trillions of the myriad heavens.

Then, were these Root Supreme planes created by the one standing before?

Thinking deeply, it is terrifying!

Hard to imagine!

The Sovereign's breath hitched; it immediately cast aside and expelled this terrible thought from its mind.

This was too terrifying, too outrageous. If it were truly so, then what identity would the one before be? What kind of existence would it be?

The source of all 0.2 Roots? The oldest and first living being?

What incredible luck has It encountered this absurd existence? Could this be the explosion of fortune after It was sealed for billions of derivative eras?

The surprise came too suddenly; the Sovereign's mind felt a bit dizzy.

"We shall meet again. As for this time, let it end here."

Watching the Sovereign lost in thought, Li Mo's eyes grew deep as he chuckled softly, and his figure gradually faded away.

"Respectfully seeing Your Eminence off."

Unable to think further, the awakened Sovereign immediately bowed deeply toward Li Mo, gazing with deep eyes until Li Mo's figure vanished completely.

"Honghuang Plane... Honghuang Plane... Honghuang, Plane?"

Looking in the direction where Li Mo disappeared, the Sovereign's eyes flickered, seemingly lost in thought or perhaps recalling something, as the plane where this figure resided involuntarily surfaced in his mind.

"It seems the plan needs to be changed."

"With such an opportunity, how could one not seize it? It is merely a matter of changing the protagonist. We must board this ship!"

"No wonder that plane felt strange, its flavor somewhat unique. Now it seems it has likely condensed the status of a Root Supreme."

"Finally, finally able to break the seal! Perhaps I too can possess the opportunity to step onto the path of the Root Supreme!"

A trace of expectation appeared in his eyes; the Sovereign clenched his fists, his heart surging. That cold, emotionless face was now beaming with a brilliant smile. He took a deep breath, and a series of murmured words issued from his mouth.

Honghuang Plane, Creation Grotto-Heaven.

In the small pavilion of the Immortal Pool, Li Mo suddenly opened his eyes. Mysterious divine light flashed from his pupils; in an instant, all the darkness around him receded rapidly like a tide, and the surrounding environment returned to its original state.

"Chaos Era..."

His eyes grew deep as Li Mo gazed into the void, murmuring to himself, unsure of what he was thinking.
