Old Ox was startled and said hastily: "The Heavenly Emperor's divine powers are vast beyond measure, and he is Heavenly Venerable Hao's own father. Could Heavenly Venerable Hao really harbor such ambition?
" Kai Huang said: "Since ancient times, in the affairs of imperial families, it is often the case that when the emperor lives too long, the crown prince grows restless and wishes the emperor would die sooner. But the Heavenly Emperor is ageless and deathless; if Heavenly Venerable Hao wants to sit on the throne, he can only move against the Heavenly Emperor. Moreover, once the acquired races and demigods rise, they will demand more benefits, and then Heavenly Venerable Hao will have no choice but to act. " Shen Mu's heart stirred slightly: "I am thinking, the first thing Heavenly Venerable Yu once told us was to let all the acquired races cultivate, to be equal with the gods. What might the second thing he spoke of be?
" Kai Huang's gaze turned toward him; the two exchanged a look, their minds in accord. Kai Huang said: "If Heavenly Venerable Yu had not died, it might still be possible. But with Heavenly Venerable Yu dead, none of the other Heavenly Venerables can match Heavenly Venerable Hao.
Heavenly Venerable Hao commands the momentum of the demigods, and has many followers from other races as well; he already has the greater trend, and being the Heavenly Emperor's son, none can compare.
He will become one of the Three Parts of Longxiao Han, and the strongest at that! " Shen Mu said: "None of the other Heavenly Venerables can match Heavenly Venerable Hao. The Three Parts of Longxiao Han—there is still one other part. Where does that part come from? " Kai Huang shook his head: "I fear that is beyond our ability to consider or influence.
" Old Ox listened in a daze and ventured: "What are you talking about? Weren't we discussing the second thing Heavenly Venerable Yu was going to speak of?
How did it come to the Three Parts of Longxiao Han?
" Shen Mu explained: "The second thing Heavenly Venerable Yu was going to speak of is this: after the method of longevity is passed on, humans and other acquired races will produce more and more gods, which will sooner or later invite fear and suppression. He intended to contend for the interests of all races, and that is what we call the third pole of the Three Parts of Longxiao Han.
" Old Ox laughed: "Why not simply form a small Heavenly Court? " "Who will form it? " Shen Mu said with a worried frown: "In a few days, we will all return to our own eras. None of us will stay, nor can we stay.
" Kai Huang nodded: "Among the Nine Heavenly Venerables, Heavenly Venerable Yu is dead, Heavenly Venerable Shen and Heavenly Venerable Mu are missing, and the remaining Heavenly Venerables are not talents who can match Heavenly Venerable Hao.
Moreover, these Heavenly Venerables are scattered as loose sand; it will be very hard to form a third pole.
" Shen Mu fell silent. After a moment, he said: "I do have a way to form the third pole.
But after the Three Parts of Longxiao Han, which pole actually won? " Kai Huang's heart skipped a beat, and he looked toward him. Shen Mu continued: "Was it the first pole, the Heavenly Court of the ancient gods, or the second pole, the Heavenly Court of the demigods, or the third pole that won?
The Outland Heavenly Court of the Chiming Era and the Shanghuang Era after the destruction—which of the three poles was it? " Kai Huang fell silent.
It was now the early period of the Longhan Era; in the early years of Longhan, neither the second pole nor the third pole had yet appeared.
No one knew which pole had won the final victory in the immensely long years of the Longhan Era, becoming the colossal entity that ruled over all. "Rest and heal your wounds in peace. " Kai Huang smiled: "History has its own course. We are not people of this era; there is no need to consider so much.
