Chapter 5539 The Truth

"Um, let's not talk about this for now, Senior Fire King."

"The Dark Emperor asked me to go this time mainly to talk to me about the Man of Destiny."

"From what he said, it seems that I have a high degree of overlap with the one who will defeat the evil demon?"

Zhang Yifeng's eyes moved, and he stared at the Fire King in front of him and asked.

The Fire King remained expressionless upon hearing this and nodded calmly.

"That's right. That's why I chose to sign a covenant with you."

"If you want to defeat that legendary evil demon, I'm afraid you can only rely on your strength to do it."

The Fire King bluntly acknowledged this fact.

However, after hearing this, a hint of solemnity flashed across Zhang Yifeng's eyes.

"Senior Fire King, so you don't actually hate the Snow Country or the Tianyu Empire?"

"You are just using this as an excuse to give me a way out so that you can stay by my side."

Zhang Yifeng looked at the Fire King calmly and asked in a calm voice.

Hearing this, the Fire King was silent for a while, then he chuckled and said, "It seems that once I let you know a little bit of the truth, I can no longer hide all this from you."

"Zhang, what you said and thought is correct, but is there anything else you want to ask me?"

The Fire King retracted the curtain of flames around him and looked at Zhang Yifeng with relief in his eyes.

"Another thing the Dark Emperor told me is that the evil demon in this prophecy is actually you, Senior Fire King."

"How do you answer this?"

Zhang Yifeng's expression remained unchanged, and he was not moved at all by the expression on the Fire King's face.

"Hahaha, he even told you that."

"That's right. When the three of us worked together to spy on the secrets of heaven, we came up with this answer."

Upon hearing this, the Fire King directly admitted that what the Dark Emperor said was true, but there was no sign of nervousness on his face.

After hearing this from Zhang Yifeng, a smile full of aftertaste appeared on his face.

"This...it seems that the relationship between you, Senior Fire King, and the Dark Emperor is far beyond my imagination."

Seeing this, Zhang Yifeng couldn't help the strange expression on his face and spoke in a serious voice.

"That's all he told you? Then I will answer all your questions one by one."

When the Fire King saw that Zhang Yifeng had not spoken for a long time, he immediately understood that this was the end of what the Dark Emperor had to say to him.

As for any words of recruitment, the Fire King didn't need to think too much about it.

The Dark Emperor has been trapped in this space for many years, and he will try to recruit anyone who comes there first.

What’s more, Zhang Yifeng is the little guy who, according to their prediction, will break the darkness.

At this moment, Zhang Yifeng was looking at the Fire King calmly, waiting for him to tell him the whole truth.

"What I haven't told you before is that the Snow King, the Dark Emperor and I are actually good friends."

"The Snow King was born from the essence of ice and snow in the Tianyu Realm. There is no need to introduce my identity to you any further. Everything I said before is true."

"I am the first living being to come to the Tianyu Realm. I have been with the Dark Emperor for a long time and have witnessed all races enter the Tianyu Realm with my own eyes."

When Zhang Yifeng listened to the Fire King talking about his relationship with the Dark Emperor, there was no sign of surprise on his face.

Just because he had already guessed about this.

Now it has been truly confirmed from the mouth of the Fire King.

"Then one day, the Dark Emperor suddenly found me and the Snow King, wanting to join forces with the three of us to spy on the secrets of heaven."

"It's just because he felt that there would be a disaster in the Tianyu Realm, so he wanted to resolve it."

"You probably guessed what happened next. After we worked together to investigate, we discovered that the cause of the disaster was me."

When the Fire King said this, a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.

"However, given the relationship between the three of us, the Dark Emperor and the Snow King don't want to see me become the evil demon that will be doomed."

"So they came up with a plan, which was to seal me in the icy abyss beneath the Snow Country, leaving me there for tens of thousands of years."

"During this period, the Dark Emperor will take my place and sit in the dark space to prevent the inevitable disaster from happening."

The Fire Lord spoke in a dull tone, and it was obvious that this experience had triggered his resistance.

"Senior Fire King, if everything is going according to your plan, then why has the Dark Emperor become like this?"

When Zhang Yifeng heard this, he frowned and asked immediately.

If the Dark Emperor voluntarily locked himself in the dark space, why would he try to break out of here by force?

And since the dark space was created by the Dark Emperor himself, why can't he leave by himself?

All these things made Zhang Yifeng suspicious.

"Oh, that's of course because I don't agree with their plan at all."

"As a spirit of heaven and earth, I know very well that some things simply cannot be stopped."

"Even if you seal me up, the disaster of this time will not be erased. There will always be someone to take my place as the evil demon."

"And this person is none other than the Dark Emperor who took the initiative to sit in the dark space."

The Fire King smiled self-deprecatingly, but his smile was full of sadness.

"If I had become the evil demon in the prophecy, the Tianyu Realm might not have become what it is now, but he is the one who sits in this position."

"The Dark Emperor's true form is the dark energy of the universe. That's why when he fell into evil, the evil energy in his body became even stronger."

"originally……."

The Fire King paused here, then shook his head and stopped talking.

"I have told you everything you want to know. Now it's up to you to decide who to trust."

"As for leaving the dark space, I'm afraid it's impossible before everything is settled."

"You should be able to guess why I asked you for confirmation before entering here, right?"

The Fire King stared at Zhang Yifeng, waiting for his choice.

Now there are only two choices before Zhang Yifeng: either help the Fire King defeat the Dark Emperor and restore the dark space to normal.

Either Zhang Yifeng joins the Dark Emperor and helps him break through the suppression of the dark space and reappear in the world.

No matter which option is chosen, it doesn’t make much difference to Zhang Yifeng personally.

After all, he is not from the Tianyu Realm, and the grievances between the Dark Emperor and the Fire King have nothing to do with him.

"Hehe, Senior Fire King, now that I'm back here, there should be no need to explain my choice."

"Besides, speaking of relationships, I have spent more time with you than the Dark Emperor, whom I have only met once."

Zhang Yifeng shrugged his shoulders. At this moment, he had completely let go of his alienation towards the Fire King.

"Good boy, I was right about you!"

The Fire King's eyes instantly brightened and his expression cheered up.

"Next, the only one we have to worry about is the Dark Emperor."

"Although he won't kill you, he will definitely try to stop you."
