…
"You killed her!?" Wang Yao almost shouted, "Why did you do that!? Did you not like her or what? Damn… wasn't she supposed to be your wife?"
Ye Tian Yun let out a sigh, "Things happened. I don't want to talk about it. You speak. Tell what happened when I got the Emblem System?"
Wang Yao thought for a mont and asked, "When the System first ca to you, you must have asked it who it was, why it ca to you and how you ca back in ti. What was the System's response?"
Ye Tian Yun recalled, "I was told that I got the system because I died in the presence of Token Of Life, which I got after killing Jiang Chen, Emblem Of Ti, which was on you, and the Emblem Of Luck, which I possessed."
"With the help of Life, Ti and Luck - I successfully ca back in ti and summoned the Emblem System."
Wang Yao stared at him for a mont and asked with disbelief, "You killed Jiang Chen and got the Token Of Life?"
Ye Tian Yun nodded his head, "That's what the System told . Though I never felt the Token Of Life's presence and neither did I see it when I killed Jiang Chen."
Wang Yao thought for a mont and suddenly burst out in laughter.
"Hahahahahah!!!!!"
"What?" Ye Tian Yun was appalled by his reaction, "What's so funny?"
Wang Yao continued to laugh, "Ahahahaha, Ye Tian Yun, ah Ye Tia Yun, you got fooled! Hahaha!"
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Fooled? If you're talking about what the System told , well, I had no other choice but to believe its words."
Wang Yao shook his head, "Sigh... the System was really clever. I guess it's your bad luck, nothing else. Jiang Chen never had the Token Of Life."
"What are you trying to say?" Ye Tian Yun couldn't make heads or tails of his words.
Wang Yao cleared his throat and said, "Jiang Chen never had the Token Of Life. And if possessing the three artifacts could send anyone back in ti, wouldn't just anyone go back? Also, you wanted to know the reason why I wished to get back in ti, right?"
"Yeah," Ye Tian Yun nodded his head.
"The thing is..." Wang Yao took a slight pause and said, "When I reached the peak and was proclaid as the Heavenly Emperor, I was betrayed. The one who betrayed was the Heavens itself."
"Ye Tian Yun, the Heavenly Emperor's Throne that each generation's best talents fight for, is nothing but a mill that will harvest those talents to replenish itself."
"What?"
"Exactly what I said. All this 'summoning the throne to rule the heavens…' it's all bullshit. The grand sche behind all this is the Heavens using us to cultivate itself."
"Our deaths, cultivation, lives, comprehension… everything goes to benefit the Heavens."
"And I found this the hard way. But it was too late for . So, the System, which had been my partner ever since I started to cultivate, revealed a plan to ."
"The plan was to basically go back in ti and change a few things in the past, and get all the opportunities to cultivate faster and defeat the Heavens."
"How could the Heavens be defeated?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "It's not a cultivator and doesn't have a corporeal body. Do you want to defeat it by destroying it? Destroying the Heavens… aren't you destroying the whole world with it?"
Wang Yao smiled, "I had these sa questions when I first heard this absurd plan. But all this is indeed true. The Heavens can be defeated. But we need to reach the Peak first."
"The Peak?" Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Weren't you at the Peak?"
Wang Yao took a light breath and, after a mont of silence, gave a self-mocking laugh, "The Peak? Didn't I say that after becoming the Heavenly Emperor, a new door opened for ? How could I possibly be at the peak if such a thing happened?"
Ye Tian Yun thought for a mont and nodded his head, "Then what is the Peak?"
Wang Yao shrugged, "I never reached it, so I don't know. The Heavens can also be defeated, so clearly, the Heavens is not the Peak."
Ye Tian Yun asked, "What made you agree with the plan? And if you agreed, why was I the one to go through the rebirth."
Wang Yao smiled, "I did agree. But there was one slight problem. How could it be simply possible to go back in ti? I needed to prepare myself first. Or else the Heavenly Constraints would crush my body and dissipate my soul."
"In the end, the System revealed to that it would go back in ti, and then it would transfer my soul to my younger body."
"This will allow to get a second chance and get powerful at a swifter speed."
Ye Tian Yun frowned, "Then what went wrong?"
Wang Yao smiled, "Many things. After the System left, I was attacked by the Heavenly Constraints because I had tempered with the tiline. The System hadn't inford about anything as such, so I was caught unprepared."
"But I didn't mind much and began to look for a cure, and in the end, after years of search, I encountered sothing. I got to know a few things. And then, reality hit hard."
"The Grand Sche of Heavens… had a hidden side that I was unaware of."
"The Emblem System… was this hidden side."
"I told you earlier that ever since it ca to in the younger days, it had helped form the God's Legion and then helped bring the God' Legion to the so-called peak."
"Rember I told you what the Heavens is the mill and the talented cultivators are the harvest? Where can one find the most talented geniuses? In the God's Legion, of course. And who was the architect behind this legion? The Emblem System."
"From the very beginning, it was trying to collect these talents at one place, and then they will be harvested by the Heavens."
"Ye Tian Yun, do you know who's the 'God' in God's Legion? It's not … it's the Heavens itself."
