Chapter 2783: Chapter 2783: Rules

"Who are you?" Julius Reed heard the voice and asked.

Since the other party could know to come in, there must be a way to communicate.

It wasn’t just about leaving a message.

The other party was also a master.

"If you want to know who I am, then do as I say. Trust me, we will meet sooner or later. So why not sooner?"

The voice echoed once more in Lillian Tompson’s sea of consciousness.

At that moment, Lillian’s sea of consciousness was unusually calm.

Only the voices of Julius Reed and the mysterious person could be heard.

Everything else seemed to be blocked out for a short time.

"If you want to meet, then meet directly. Why leave after we’ve met? Why wait to say something until the future?"

Julius Reed asked in the sea of consciousness, "What is the meaning of doing this?"

"It’s very simple, I want you to know that there are people more powerful than you, and threats more terrifying than you! If you don’t strive, you will die at the hands of these people in the future."

"Meeting today is to give you a warning, to make you understand the pressure you might face in the future, and to prepare yourself early."

"Never be complacent, never stop moving forward, because there are always people ahead of you."

"Perhaps such effort will be exhausting and make you weary, but who has it easy? If you slack off, you will die."

"In the martial arts world, it’s the survival of the fittest, which you know."

"You’ve killed so many people, Julius Reed. Do you have few enemies?"

A series of words reached Julius Reed’s ears.

"But what does this have to do with who you are?" Julius Reed retorted.

Now he could essentially confirm that this was a remnant soul left by the other party.

It had some awareness, but not much.

It could only answer Julius Reed’s questions within a certain range.

Once the mission was complete, this remnant soul would dissipate, turning into spiritual power and merging into Lillian Tompson’s sea of consciousness.

Becoming spiritual power to nourish her sea of consciousness.

"Of course it matters. The martial arts world is like a pyramid; as you are about to approach the pinnacle, there will inevitably be enemies. An innocent man gets into trouble because of his wealth."

"Your ability is the original sin. Silvio Reed, you haven’t killed him for so long; is it because you can’t, or are you deliberately keeping him alive?"

The voice came again, even with a hint of questioning.

"What do you mean? Silvio Reed is my greatest enemy, I’ve always been hunting him down, but every time it’s so close." Julius Reed replied, "Silvio Reed once lurked by my side for thousands of years, knows me very well, and even was my mentor, isn’t it normal that I can’t defeat him?"

"An emperor with no regard for others would actually praise someone else, saying he is not an opponent. Julius Reed, you are too hypocritical!"

The voice even carried anger: "You are clearly intentionally letting Silvio Reed live! With your ability, Silvio Reed would have been dead long ago!"

The Sea of Mind Power fell silent.

It took Julius Reed quite a while before he spoke, "Who are you really?"

"Answer me, I will tell you some things."

The voice replied with a cold smile: "Don’t take me for a fool; I’m no fool and know a lot more about you!"

From the tone of this person, it seemed confident, as if they really understood Julius Reed very well.

This confident attitude made Julius Reed somewhat suspicious instead.

"Indeed, I never really wanted to kill Silvio Reed; every time, I deliberately held back."

Julius Reed candidly replied, "What’s the problem? Now you can tell, how did you know?"

Julius Reed never mentioned this matter to anyone.

Indeed, as strong as he was, killing Silvio Reed wasn’t difficult.

Even if occasionally Silvio Reed got lucky and escaped, he would have been dead by now.

The fact that Silvio Reed was still alive meant Julius Reed was going easy on him.

Even when confronting Saul King before, he deliberately weakened Saul King’s cultivation, putting it within Silvio Reed’s capacity to handle.

Otherwise, how could Silvio Reed be a match for Saul King?

He was at the emperor level, and among the top experts at that level!

Saul King’s death was entirely within Julius Reed’s expectations.

"I’m curious, how do you know so clearly?"

Julius Reed began to speculate about this person’s identity.

"You’ve realized, Silvio Reed’s existence is your whetstone. And you’re willing to let someone arrange your life, that’s why you never kill Silvio Reed."

The voice said coldly, "But do you really think this way you can avoid it? Everyone must comply with the will of the heavens, even you, Julius Reed! Silvio Reed must die, and must die by your hand!"

"Sure enough, this is all a conspiracy." Julius Reed asked, "So, who are you really?"

"I’m just following orders, prompting you to do what you should have done long ago. Who I am is not important; what’s important is, do you know who you are? Also, I must tell you, from the moment you signed the contract, you have entered the rules!"

After the voice finished, it fell silent.

Soon after, a wind suddenly arose in the Sea of Mind Power.

The Sea of Mind Power is where one’s memory and soul reside; it doesn’t directly connect to the outside world, it has no wind.

The reason there was wind was because the spiritual power dissipated, causing it to spread evenly in the Sea of Mind Power, forming wind.

This meant that the telekinesis had disappeared.

It had completed its mission and would no longer communicate with Julius Reed.

Julius Reed naturally couldn’t get any more information from it.

What remained were all mysteries.

He closed his eyes and withdrew his telekinesis from Lillian Tompson’s body.

When he opened his eyes again, he was outside.

"Lillian didn’t lie, that person entered her Sea of Mind Power, controlled her actions, and left me a message."

Julius Reed looked at Long Wu, "This matter is entirely over. Take care of Lillian; she’s innocent. Next, I need to go out for a while."

"Rules." Julius Reed muttered under his breath.

Rules!

Rules!

Why, always rules!

In the Double Dragon Jade Pendant, Hades had mentioned rules!

To take a person’s soul, something must be taken in exchange.

Even powerful as Hades, to take those souls, he had to go through such lengths, almost like making a contract.

Not much different from a real contract.

Even Hades couldn’t make the decisions, so who devised these rules?

Even Hades had to abide by them, and the strong person just now kept mentioning contracts.

Who created these rules?

Why does everyone mention rules?

Only Julius Reed knows nothing about the rules!

"Take care of yourself," Hiddy and Long Wu stood up simultaneously and walked to his side, "You just came back, haven’t even rested properly, and now you’re leaving again."

"Go ahead, but remember to come back, remember there are people here who care about you."

Julius Reed reluctantly turned around and embraced the two, "I will, and it won’t be long."
