The Lightning Emperor just looked at Shang with an unconvinced expression.
"A God that isn't the Mage God," he said in a flat tone.
"Correct," Shang answered, "but as I've said, that is no longer my reason for wanting to beco stronger."
"Why is it no longer your reason?"
Shang didn't imdiately answer.
"It no longer seems that important," he said.
"You believe this God is real?" the Lightning Emperor asked.
"He is real," Shang answered.
The Lightning Emperor took a deep breath.
Shang was too far gone.
Although, that also made sense.
Achieving a sixfold Spirit Sense was so incredibly difficult that sothing had to be wrong with soone if they were willing to put in so incredibly much effort.
Just getting a fivefold Spirit Sense would already require soone to sacrifice quite a bit, but getting a sixfold Spirit Sense was even crazier than that.
People that were willing to do sothing like that couldn't be sane people.
Although, having delusions might not exactly be the kind of ntal illness that would seem connected to having a sixfold Spirit Sense.
Nevertheless, Shang couldn't be normal, and having delusions would just be another weird addition.
Naturally, Shang noticed that the Lightning Emperor didn't believe him.
Under normal circumstances, Shang wasn't one that cared about what other people thought of him, but this ti, he had to care.
After all, the Lightning Emperor had the power to kill Shang without any repercussions.
When the conversation had just started, Shang had been quite nervous, but he hadn't expected that the conversation would take such a turn that he was essentially forced to unveil the existence of the God.
After all, if Shang refused to answer, the Lightning Emperor would assu even worse things than the truth.
Suddenly, sothing appeared in Shang's hand, and he put it on the table.
The Lightning Emperor looked over, and his eyes widened in surprise.
"Wait, you were that one warrior?" he asked as he looked at the book in front of him.
This was the original copy of the Star Map for warriors.
"The God gave this book," Shang said.
When the Lightning Emperor heard that, his eyes widened in genuine surprise.
The world had resonated, which ant that Shang believed that he was telling the truth.
This ant that Shang genuinely believed that so God had given him that book.
The Lightning Emperor took the book and looked at it.
He could feel the Tranquil Hamr Lord's Aura on it clear as day.
Back when the Lightning Emperor had looked at that book for the first ti, he had assud that one of the other Emperors had lost it.
But now, Shang was claiming that so sort of God had given him that book.
"What makes you certain that the person that gave this to you is a God?" the Lightning Emperor asked.
In his mind, the Lightning Emperor imagined a scene where a Mage Lord from another Empire sohow managed to infiltrate Area 23 and tell a small warrior that they were a God.
To the people of Area 23, a Mage Lord would seem like a God.
"Because he also gave this," Shang said.
And then, he put one of his swords on the table.
The Lightning Emperor hadn't really looked at Shang's belongings earlier, but now, he took a look at the sword.
Imdiately, the Lightning Emperor's eyes widened in genuine shock.
"An Apex Companion Weapon!" the Lightning Emperor nearly shouted.
When Shang heard that, he realized that he had been right.
Shang had thought that weapons like this had existed in the past, and since the Lightning Emperor had just uttered the na of the weapon, it ant that they had genuinely existed.
The sword hovered in front of the Lightning Emperor, and he looked at it for several seconds.
The more he looked at it, the more surprised and concerned he beca.
The sword slowly began to spin, and as it did, it beca smaller and weaker.
Shang was a bit concerned about his weapon, but he knew that he didn't have the luxury to complain.
Eventually, the sword turned into its original appearance.
At that mont, the Lightning Emperor's eyes narrowed, and the Mana in the room shook.
Slowly, the sword stopped spinning, but the Mana in the room seed to beco tenser and tenser.
It was almost like it was ready to explode.
And then, the sword suddenly spun at insane speeds for just one second as it returned to its normal form, the Addum.
The Lightning Emperor released a deep breath.
He slowly put the Addum back on the table and leaned back.
He just remained silent for several seconds.
Shang also didn't say anything.
"If I forced it, I might be able to recreate its original Aura," the Lightning Emperor said. "But that would throw the Mana equilibrium off, and every Emperor and King would want an explanation from ."
The Lightning Emperor sighed again. "But that doesn't really matter. The fact that I need to put out so much effort ans that it must have been made by soone in the Ninth Realm."
Shang noticed that the Lightning Emperor hadn't said that it was made by an Emperor but by soone in the Ninth Realm.
This ant that this sword might have been made by soone that wasn't a Mage many thousands of years ago.
"Where did you get this sword?" the Lightning Emperor asked.
"The God gave it to ."
"Why?"
"Because I needed a weapon that could grow. Without this weapon, I would have also needed to learn blacksmithing at so point," Shang said.
"Oh?" the Lightning Emperor uttered. "What's your connection with this God?"
"He took from my howorld and brought to Aterium," Shang said.
Silence.
"Your howorld?" the Lightning Emperor asked.
Shang nodded. "A place called Earth."
"Tell more about this place," the Lightning Emperor said.
Shang described Earth and the universe it was in to the Lightning Emperor in as much detail as possible, including why that universe existed in the first place.
Just an interesting side project for the God's entertainnt.
