"Unrelated to Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth?" Tu Shan continued to ask.
"Can Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth create a being stronger than itself?" Duge asked with a smile, "If it could, the Skill called Contain the Heavenly Statutes in Mouth would have long since transcended beyond being just a keyword."
The Regent nodded unconsciously, "Duge, what is the purpose of telling us all this?"
"Regent, I have always been unaware of your purposes. After all, I know nothing about Pan-Universe Entertainnt," Duge looked at the Regent and said, "But I can state my own purpose first."
"What?" The Regent gestured for Duge to continue.
"To escape from the control of the Heavenly Dao and beco a complete self," Duge said, "My essence didn’t know its true identity before, and its greatest wish was to escape your control. After learning its true identity, it added another goal: to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao.
In my consciousness, I experienced a complete cycle of birth and growth; I had my own parents, friends, and family, all of whom are living people.
Can you imagine how desperate you would feel upon discovering one day that you are rely an incarnation of soone else, that your entire life is under soone else’s control, and that your existence is only ant for their purposes...
Do you realize how devastating this truth would be?"
Duge looked around at everyone, his eyes tinged with faint scorn and anger, "I am clearly an independent person, so why should I be soone else’s incarnation? From that mont on, my goal changed to escape the control of the Heavenly Dao and to master my own destiny.
As for seizing the keywords, that is the Heavenly Dao’s goal, not mine, or to be exact, not the goal of my essence.
Clearly, the essence has already succeeded; not only has it escaped your control, but it should also have escaped the control of the Heavenly Dao..."
The Regent and the Speaker of the Council exchanged glances. This explained why Duge repeatedly said he was after their keywords, but on the Alien Battlefield, he suddenly escaped their control, even abandoning his Shard Spirit.
The keywords were never his target...
"Duge, why are you telling us all this?" the Regent asked, "What is your purpose?"
"Regent, I have already explained the reasons to Ross; didn’t he tell you?" Duge’s Clone said.
"Ross didn’t ntion it," the Regent replied.
"I was severed by the Split Soul from the essence, and he could take back at any ti," Duge said, "He wants to detach from the Heavenly Dao and beco himself again, and do I not wish to beco an independent entity?"
Everyone was stunned by this infinitely recursive scenario; it seed every Shard Spirit wanted to rebel against its own essence!
"My essence has only temporarily escaped the control of the Heavenly Dao, and there’s still a long and difficult path to true independence. It doesn’t even have a direction right now, as after all, we don’t know where Earth is located. Even though he might be stronger than the Heavenly Dao, he is unable to find the main body of the Heavenly Dao."
Duge’s Clone said, "But I am different; I know the exact location of the essence. As long as I get rid of the essence, I will be a one-of-a-kind entity.
Thus, our interests should align. Since Duge’s essence has escaped your control, you would also want to eliminate him to maintain the dignity of the Pan Universe, right?"
"You want to kill your own essence?" the Regent asked.
"No, to be precise, you will help kill Duge’s essence," Duge’s Clone said. "I can’t afford to et him; the mont we et, he will reclaim into his body."
"What are you planning to do?" the Regent asked.
"Regent, what do you plan to do?" Duge countered, "When hit by the God Annihilator Cannon, I saw the previously hidden keywords and Skills erge. The essence must have escaped your control in the sa way, right?
So, are you planning to use as an experint, or are you planning to use my body on the Alien Battlefield to confront the essence? Tell all your plans, and I will cooperate with you."
The Regent looked at Duge and remained silent.
"Regent, do you not trust ?" Duge’s Clone said in surprise, "I have already revealed all secrets to you. Moreover, I am different from Duge’s essence; he has his own body, and I am rely a soul. Other than collaborating with you, I have no other way to survive."
"How can you retain more than a dozen keywords and the Skills to awaken a second keyword into reality?" the Regent asked. "Answer this question first."
"I don’t know," Duge’s Clone shook his head, "It might be a thod used by the essence of the Heavenly Dao; I have always considered it my ace in the hole. You’ve seen my mories; you should know that in those movies and TV series, the protagonists always have their exclusive cheats. I can use these cheats, but as for explaining the principles behind them, I simply don’t know. Perhaps the essence does!"
Duge’s Clone had all of Duge’s mories and consciousness and shared the sa style of action as the essence. Once decided to beco an enemy of the essence, he instinctively began to sully the essence’s na.
"We’ll discuss this and get back to you," the Regent looked at Duge and signaled everyone to exit the simulation field.
In a blink of an eye,
only the lonely Duge’s Clone was left in the simulation field.
Though he was mostly talking, he still received plenty of information from the Regent, at least now knowing that the people of the Pan Universe civilization were unable to possess multiple keywords at the sa ti.
Having the keywords but unable to use multiple keywords simultaneously indicated that they hadn’t truly mastered the Divine Artifacts called keywords. Perhaps this was his opportunity.
