Chapter 1284: What Are You Going to Do?

"But I have to say that you are really lucky to be alive even until now. You must have been hit by a combined attack, and there is a strong residue of the death laws that has prevented the complete healing of your divine sphere and divine soul," Aldrian said.

"From my understanding, sealing your true cultivation was a blessing in disguise. By sealing your true cultivation, you also prevented the injuries from spreading further, and it became much easier for you to suppress the remnants of the death laws."

Gu Cangtian nodded. He already understood that much, and that was why he did not use much of his energy, choosing instead not to worsen his condition while focusing on suppressing the remnants of the attack's energy inside his body.

He had also expected that Aldrian would be able to heal him, so he was not surprised when Aldrian said that his injuries could be treated. He would have been surprised instead if the great emperor did not have any means to heal him.

Logically, the current great emperor should not be able to heal him with his own power because the injuries of a Divine Realm cultivator could not be healed by someone whose cultivation was below the Divine Realm.

However, the image of the great emperor from the past as an omnipotent existence was still deeply embedded in Gu Cangtian's mind.

Even if he could not heal him personally, the great emperor must possess resources that were impossible for him to fathom.

"Currently, I cannot heal you because of the obvious reason. No matter how miraculous my energy is, the gap between our cultivations is simply too great for it to heal you completely. However, fortunately, I have a healing pill that perfectly suits your condition," Aldrian said.

Gu Cangtian raised his eyebrows and nodded in understanding. Seeing, for the first time, that the great emperor could not solve a problem personally gave Gu Cangtian a strange feeling.

The great emperor had become more "human" this time, giving Gu Cangtian a much closer feeling. It was as though he could finally follow behind the great emperor and support him with his own strength, something that had been impossible in the past because the great emperor at that time could accomplish everything alone.

"But the problem is, the pill is not with me at this moment. You'll have to wait while I bring the pill here," Aldrian continued.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to bring the pill here. That would only be a hassle for you. Let me come with you so Your Majesty doesn't have to make the journey here again," Gu Cangtian said.

Aldrian smiled before shaking his head.

"Well, it's not that I don't want you to follow me. But the pill is still in the First Heaven at this moment."

Hearing that, Gu Cangtian widened his eyes.

"If that is the case, then you don't have to—"

"I can easily move the pill to the Second Heaven. That is not a problem. I could even make the pill appear here at this very moment. However, I have my own considerations so that my movements are not detected by Avergis. Therefore, the safest place for the pill to appear is in the Eastern Region. From my estimation, it will arrive within a day's time," Aldrian said, causing Gu Cangtian to fall silent.

Aldrian then smiled.

"Don't say you don't need to be healed because it will endanger me. No, you have to be healed so you can support me. Moreover, the day we retake the Second Heaven keeps drawing nearer. I will need your strength when that time comes."

Gu Cangtian's heart shook.

'His Majesty needs my strength.'

This was the first time he had heard those words directly from the great emperor. He was glad that he could finally support the great emperor with his own power.

Gu Cangtian then sighed.

"I will follow Your Majesty's arrangement. I do not want to endanger Your Majesty."

However, his expression soon turned solemn.

"Your Majesty said the day to retake the Second Heaven keeps drawing nearer? Does Your Majesty already have a plan for it? Does the resistance group already know about it? My apologies, Your Majesty, because of my location, I have never had any contact with the resistance group. I even doubt they are aware of my existence here."

Aldrian nodded.

"Yes, I already have a plan, and I have already discussed it with the resistance group. Actually, my visit to this domain is to gather as much information as possible before we begin the plan. Not only is the resistance group in the Second Heaven prepared, but many of our comrades in the First Heaven are already waiting as well."

Gu Cangtian's eyes shone with spirit as he imagined the moment when they could finally reveal themselves and retake the Second Heaven. He could finally repay those invaders for the humiliation he had suffered in the past.

It also made him want to be healed as soon as possible so he could fight with all of his might when the time came.

"I see. I cannot wait for that day to come, Your Majesty. Finally, we can pay back those invaders for the suffering our people have endured all this time," he said.

Aldrian nodded before deciding to check Gu Cangtian's information through the system. After seeing the information, he could not help but smile.

'To think he has already grown this much since I left him,' Aldrian thought.

When he left Gu Cangtian, Gu Cangtian had only been at God Foundation Stage. Now he had reached the God Sovereign Realm and had even comprehended Life Laws, something he had not comprehended back then.

He had known Gu Cangtian possessed great talent from the first time he met him, and his potential to grow into a great cultivator was immense. Therefore, he was not surprised that Gu Cangtian had comprehended Life Laws.

Aldrian then looked at Alcraz before turning back to Gu Cangtian.

"Do you know that Alcraz has been looking for a way to heal you all this time? He intended to concoct the Celestial Root Pill, something far beyond his current level, and give it to you. However, he still has not gathered all the resources needed to begin concocting it."

Gu Cangtian raised his eyebrows and looked at Alcraz, while Alcraz himself felt embarrassed. His face turned slightly red, and he could not help but feel foolish for trying to heal such a powerful figure with his inadequate ability.

From what he had heard about Gu Cangtian's condition, the injury was clearly far beyond his ability to treat.

"Is that so? Then I'm truly grateful that you had such good intentions. However, my injuries are something that even the best Celestial Root Pill cannot completely heal. Still, your intentions are appreciated," Gu Cangtian said with a smile, leaving Alcraz stunned.

"Although I saved you for my own purpose, as time passed, I realized that you are very different from Avergis' other followers. The same goes for your disciple. I'm not someone so unreasonable and bloodthirsty that I would continue holding onto my animosity after spending so much time with you."

"Moreover, the fact that you became the reason I could meet His Majesty again is enough for me to build an amicable relationship with you despite your position."

Alcraz released a deep breath and nodded. Although he still felt embarrassed, he was glad that the man he respected thought that way.

At least, his desire to maintain a good relationship was not one-sided.

"So, Alcraz, after hearing our entire conversation, I know you already understand some of the situation that will unfold in the near future. Now I want to ask you a question. A question that could determine your fate in the future," Aldrian said.

Alcraz looked at Aldrian.

"Please ask, Your Majesty."

"What are you going to do when the war between my people and the Temple, along with all the powers across the Second Heaven, begins?" Aldrian looked calmly into Alcraz's eyes.

Alcraz also met Aldrian's gaze for a moment. Actually, he had already come to a decision after hearing about the war that would likely break out in the near future.

He released a sigh.

"I will not take part in any of the battles. My disciple and I will move somewhere safe until the situation becomes safe for us."

Aldrian nodded.

"That is a good decision. If you and Yui can survive until after the War of Liberation, you will no longer be disturbed. I will come to you again at that time to discuss your plans for the future."

Alcraz nodded.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After that, Aldrian's real body's consciousness returned to his real body. He then asked someone from the resistance group to pick up the packet containing the pill to heal Gu Cangtian in Su City.

While waiting for the pill to arrive, Aldrian decided to stay. There was much more that he wanted to discuss with Gu Cangtian.

------------------------------

While the avatar in the Sacred Temple domain met with Gu Cangtian, the avatar in Rudraf City had already prepared for the next step of his mission.

Night had already fallen, and he prepared to throw the city into an uproar far greater than the incident from the previous night.
