Chapter 520: The Dark Monster Race’s Scheme

[’When Dark Monsters reached the Tenth Order, they had already developed sentience. By the time they’ve become Dark Monster Emperors, they are already as intelligent as most sentient humanoid races like humans and elves.’]

[’Although the Light Bearers themselves knew that there was a reason behind those Dark Monster Sovereigns secluding themselves in those Forbidden Zones, most of them still haven’t figured it out.’]

[’After all, those Dark Monster Sovereigns were very tight-lipped. Those who knew more about that scheme of theirs were all Dark Monster Lords, who were as strong as Divine rank powerhouses.’]

[’Even using torture to get them to talk wouldn’t work, since they don’t fear pain or any form of suffering. Due to this, most Light Bearers couldn’t figure out the reason behind it.’]

[Thinking of this, you were one of the exceptions among those Light Bearers. Having seen those Dark Monster Sovereigns from afar, you had used your Hint Prompt (Gold) talent on them to acquire a lot of information.]

[One of them was the reason behind their slumber, inactivity, and passiveness. If the Dark Monsters wanted to, they could achieve a pyrrhic victory and exterminate almost all living beings at the cost of most of those Dark Monsters dying.]

[However, even when the Dark Monsters were completely loyal to the source of the Perpetual Darkness, most of their powerhouses couldn’t bear to sacrifice their life.]

[After all, the stronger a Dark Monster was, the greater their intelligence until it was comparable to most sentient lifeforms.]

[Due to this development of sentience, they couldn’t throw away their own life that easily, especially when such victory would be too costly.]

[’Unfortunately, this might have bought every Light Bearer and other living beings some time, but it’s only prolonging the inevitable.’]

[’Those Dark Monsters aren’t idiots. Their slumber is just to contribute more Perpetual Darkness to the world and distribute it to hasten the awakening of the Perpetual Darkness Source.’]

[’The more worlds there are that have been corrupted by the Perpetual Darkness, the more Dark Monsters there would be. The more Dark Monsters in the universe, the more they could contribute to the awakening of the Perpetual Darkness Source.’]

[’Even those few Light Lords who discovered this dared not to publicize it, causing almost all Light Sovereigns and below to be unaware of it.’]

[’After all, even if they knew of it, they couldn’t do anything. Even if those Light Lords purged the Perpetual Darkness in a galaxy, another Dark Monster Lord would corrupt another.’]

[’Since there are more Dark Monster Lords than Light Lords, the Light Bearers Faction could only prolong their inevitable defeat, hoping for someone to finally comprehend either the Universal Law of Everlasting Light to Everlasting Light rank, or a different high-grade light-attributed Universal Law.’]

[’Not to mention, most of those Light Bearer powerhouses couldn’t selflessly sacrifice themselves. Not everyone of them is a saint, which is to be expected.’]

[Regardless, you knew that if the situation was truly that dire, one of them would still sacrifice themselves to comprehend the Everlasting Light Supremacy based on the Spirit of Light Luminox’s insights and comprehension, thereby resurrecting Luminox.]

[So far, it was only Luminox who managed to exchange blows with the Perpetual Darkness Source. Other Light Bearers fell short of his achievement.]

[The gap between Luminox and other Light Lords was just that fast. No geniuses who could compare to Luminox had appeared yet, not even you.]

[After all, you couldn’t compare to Luminox. Instead, you greatly surpassed him!]

[Whatever Luminox could do, you could. Whatever he couldn’t achieve, you could!]

[Just like the Extreme Light Bearer Path, even if there’s a chance that Luminox had thought of such a path, Luminox’s talent was still insufficient to walk it.]

[After thinking of this, you decided to deal with those slumbering Dark Monsters when you’re stronger. At most, you planned to let your multiplication avatars deal with them.]

[Even if they were killed, the Perpetual Darkness Source was still the main culprit. Dealing with those Dark Monsters would only delay the Perpetual Darkness Source’s awakening.]

[But to truly eliminate it, you at least had to attain Heaven rank. Of course, if it was just for the sake of being able to contend with it, reaching the same rank as Luminox was fine as well.]

[The difference was that due to you walking the Extreme Light Bearer Path, you’d be able to achieve better results in the same rank than in Luminox’s case.]

[While you were thinking of that, you noticed that the Light Emperor guarding this city was heading towards your ship.]

[Even without unsealing your true power, your current combat power could deal with Light Emperors and even Light Sages, so you weren’t worried.]

[With this in mind, you merely waited for the Light Emperor and his goons to arrive in the sky, which wasn’t slow. They arrived in just under a second, using the light they’ve created to let themselves stand in the sky.]

[The Light Emperor rank Light Bearer was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his late thirties. However, you could discern that he was at least more than a thousand years old.]

[Although the Light Bearer Path didn’t offer much lifespan improvement compared to other power systems, the fact that there were countless worlds that Terra could access meant that they could just acquire those life-extending resources and whatnot.]

[Even if most lands were corrupted by the Perpetual Darkness, Light Bearers could still purify and reclaim it. It allowed those magic worlds to plant those magical herbs, including those that could extend life.]

[It was for this reason why they could hire the service of some Light Bearers in Terra. Even among other worlds, Terra was quite famous since they have powerhouses at Light Sovereign rank, which was already the top powerhouses of the Perpetual Darkness World.]

[There weren’t that many Light Lords and most of them were busy confronting those Dark Monster Lords, so the top powerhouses that were within public view were those Light Sovereigns and Light Sages.]

[While you and Lilith remained silent, the Light Emperor rank Light Bearer asked, "I wonder where this junior acquired this ship?"]
