Chapter 2031 - 1537–1538: The Path to Heaven You Refuse, The Doorless Hell You Rush Into

As Jiang Dali expected.

When he entangled Ling Yun and the experts of the Four Top Families inside the Emperor’s Treasure Vault, the Regent King outside the vault was also forcibly scrutinizing the top five families, including the He Family, with an overwhelming power.

This was an undisputed political cleansing.

For the Regent King, it was also a bold gamble.

He bet that Jiang Dali could maintain control over the situation within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault. This was unconditional trust in Jiang Dali because at his level, even a slight error or bias could lead to extremely severe consequences. Without absolute trust, the Regent King wouldn’t gamble like this.

If Jiang Dali failed to control the situation within the Emperor’s Treasure Vault or got trapped in the depths of the Twisted Time-Space Corridor, all the Regent King’s external clearing activities would ultimately lead to backlash.

The experts from the top families, including Yuanting Pavilion Master Ling Yun, emerging from the Emperor’s Treasure Vault, would use all their energy and connections to impeach and question him. At best, both parties would reach a political compromise, letting the families’ crimes pass unnoticed, and the Regent King would never pursue them again.

"Thanks to you this time. Your performance exceeded my expectations, I didn’t imagine you could meet him."

Inside the Regent Hall, the Regent King Long Lei looked at Jiang Dali with a subtle smile, eyes full of approval.

Jiang Dali nonchalantly shook his head, "Why so polite with me? If it weren’t for the ’Sunshine Everywhere’ you taught me, I’d be in more trouble. So it’s me who should thank you."

The Regent King laughed heartily. Now Jiang Dali had also reached the Breaking Realm level, equivalent to him in Realm, seemingly making his attitude and tone more cordial and accessible than before. He nodded immediately, "We needn’t be so polite. Now, as the malignancies of the top families have all been taken down, I’m free from worries. However, seeing you met him, there might be more matters to handle?"

The Regent King knew well that the Emperor wasn’t a random person, since he chose to meet with Jiang Dali, it must have had deep intention. Yet, what exactly it was, the Emperor’s mind is hard to predict, even he couldn’t comprehend.

Jiang Dali crossed his arms, pondering with a complex expression, shaking his head, "Actually, I don’t know exactly what we communicated after meeting. If not for some reasons, I couldn’t even confirm if I ever met him. How did you know I met the Emperor?"

"Sensing... As many speculate, the Human Emperor Tower isn’t secretive to me. I could even directly visit the secluded Emperor if necessary."

The Regent King pointed to his head, paused his words, gazing deeply into Jiang Dali’s eyes, "I sensed that the Ninth Floor of the Human Emperor Tower had opened once, and you seemed to have entered for a moment."

Jiang Dali, "A moment?"

The Regent King, with hands behind, said casually, "His Majesty had long understood the mystery of time, yet paid a huge price for it. But even that moment, maybe to those involved, could feel like fifteen minutes or even a day, who can surely say? Tell me what happened back then."

Jiang Dali nodded slightly, organizing his thoughts, narrating the scene Dugu Qiubai had witnessed and some of his own feelings.

The Regent King’s face was solemn, furrowing brows for a while, pondered and said, "It seems His Majesty had time reversed then; it’s normal you don’t remember anything. Perhaps, from His Majesty’s perspective, knowing too much now might bring harm."

Jiang Dali calmly asked, "What about Fate then?"

The Regent King spread his hands, no air of pretense, smiling at Jiang Dali, "I don’t know. Ever since His Majesty started his five-hundred-year planning, he secluded himself in the Human Emperor Tower, many things are unclear to me. Obviously, His Majesty thought even I didn’t need to know too much."

Seeing Jiang Dali’s confusion.

The Regent King smiled plainly, "Do you think we two tied together can oppose His Majesty?"

Jiang Dali shook his head decisively, "Impossible."

"There you have it."

The Regent King sighed, pacing, "Two thousand years have passed, I’ve watched His Majesty grow stronger, beyond my comprehension, yet he remains in the Breaking Realm. However, exploring this universe and understanding of time-space have reached unimaginable heights. Perhaps the stronger one is, the more secrets known; even things he fears, it’s normal he doesn’t want us to know."

"And the War God? I found a neutron weapon inside the vault’s Fallen Land, it was caused by that neutron weapon, right?"

Jiang Dali’s eyes flashed sharply, staring at the Regent King, "The form of that neutron weapon was no different from the compass star map in the War God Temple."

The Regent King furrowed his brows, then looked at Jiang Dali with a strange gaze, "I don’t know what you mean by the neutron weapon, but inside the Fallen Land, that was, His Majesty said once, the power core of the Ancient War God, a divine core, formed by life chart and war god’s lifetime power, qi fortune."

"War God’s divine core? A divine core shaped by a chicken egg-sized neutron?"

Jiang Dali’s heart shook violently, his rough face also echoing shock.

The Regent King didn’t know what neutron meant, which was normal, as ’neutron’ is a term from the Supreme Alliance. However, for a War God to condense a neutron divine status based on life chart and lifetime power, qi fortune, that’s just too outrageous.
