Chapter 2758 The Dark Sovereign's Belief

That day, the Dark Sovereign descended once again. The terrible dark storm roared and ravaged, and a dark face appeared in the air above Ye Futian.

Ye Futian knew that the actual Dark Sovereign had never appeared this entire time. This was still just the materialization of the Dark Sovereign's will.

Ye Futian raised his head and looked at the dark face, waiting for the other to speak. "Do you know how Emperor Ye Qing died back then?" the Dark Sovereign asked Ye Futian.

Ye Futian's pupils constricted. He studied the other closely, seeming to care deeply.

Ever since Donghuang the Great had appeared back then and the Master of the Four Corners Village had stopped Donghuang the Great from hurting Ye Futian, people believed that he was a descendant of Emperor Ye Qing.

However, he indeed had an extraordinary relationship with Emperor Ye Qing.

"Sovereign, please tell me," Ye Futian said.

"Back then, the Twin Great Emperors presided over the Divine Prefecture. When another one was added, the world's equilibrium was already ruined. The Devil Emperor, Evil Emperor, and I naturally would not let something like this happen. If it were merely this, it still would not be enough to make the Twin Great Emperors turn on each other. Thus, it was not only the wills of the three emperors. The Human Ancestor and The Buddha would not want this to happen either. It was the mutual will of the world that caused the tragedy to occur. In order to protect himself, Donghuang the Great suddenly killed his brother, that had gone through thick and thin with him. Donghuang the Great abandoned his wife and killed his brother to prove his way. He built his status in the Divine Prefecture, becoming one of the top figures known by all in the world. Yet, all his actions from before would not be forgotten either."

The Dark Sovereign said coldly, "The evilness and ingenuity of humanity were expressed perfectly by Donghuang the Great and the other two. The Devil Emperor, Evil Emperor, and I do whatever we want to do but look at Donghuang, the Human Ancestor, and the others. See how they do the most shameless things under the name of justice.

"The Human Ancestor calls himself the orthodox of the human world and has an air of justice, but he had forced many people to their deaths back then. Now, he is still allying with Donghuang. How fake is he? How despicable is he?" There was strong disgust in the Dark Sovereign's voice. "With such a horrid matter and ruled by such a pathetic group of people… What is use is there for them?"

Ye Futian was extremely shaken up inside after hearing this. Was this the truth of what had happened back then?

He trained his eyes firmly on the Dark Sovereign's face. Even if this was not the truth, it was probably very close to the truth. Were the beings that ruled the world really, as the Dark Sovereign said? He could feel the hatred that the Dark Sovereign had towards the world. Everything he saw was dark. Perhaps it was because he had seen too much that he wanted the darkness to fall upon the world as a whole.

He even wanted everyone to fall into darkness. He wanted to change Ye Futian's will and make him enter the darkness too. "So, you hate this turbid world," Ye Futian said to the dark shadow.

"You are wrong." The Dark Sovereign's face stared at him. "All goes in reverse if it becomes too extreme. Nowadays, the world is filled with faux kindness, and thus, it needs darkness. When darkness envelopes the world, that is when true light will appear. And this world will be reshaped."

Ye Futian looked at the dark face. This was the ruler of the Dark World. He had such a radical idea and wanted to shroud the entire world in darkness—but it was actually to reshape the world.

So, was he good or bad?

"In other words, you want to bring darkness to the world because your heart is filled with light." Ye Futian's voice carried some hints of irony. This was a practically mad and extreme obsession.

The Dark Sovereign's huge face stared at Ye Futian and said solemnly, "I am the king of darkness. I should create unparalleled achievements, be worshipped by the world, and make the heavens submit under me."

Ye Futian looked at that solemn face and felt speechless. It was a radical idea, but the Dark Sovereign was indeed qualified to play this game as the king of darkness. Bringing darkness to the world was not impossible for him.

Was this madness what had given him success, letting him become the ruler of the Dark World?

"Your body exists in the darkness, but there is pity in your heart. When you see the true nature of the world clearly one day, you might understand me then," the Dark Sovereign continued to say. "Go back now. Feel this turbid world closely. You will turn around."

With that, the horrifying dark will transform into a shocking windstorm that swept towards Ye Futian's body. He felt himself entering a black hole. Everything before his eyes was changing. When the windstorm scattered, he realized that he had come out already. He was somewhere far from the Dark Court.

He glanced in the direction of the Dark Court and took a deep breath to calm his heart. This trip had quite an impact on him. The Dark Sovereign's words had touched him as well.

Did all those great emperors have such extreme obsessions?

The Devil Emperor wanted the demons to ascend upon the world. He was not satisfied with being trapped within the Devil Abyss of the Devil World. That was the humiliation of the Devil World. It was a prison. Why should the Devil World go through all of this?

The Dark Sovereign wanted to bring darkness to the world, but in his eyes, he was transforming the world and letting it be reborn.

The king of darkness wanted to accomplish great things, be worshipped by the world, and make the heavens submit under him.

Then what about the Human Ancestor, The Buddha, the Evil Emperor, and Donghuang the Great? What were their beliefs?

The Dark Sovereign said that Donghuang the Great had abandoned his wife and killed his brother. And yet, many cultivators of the Divine Prefecture worshipped him greatly. Other than the breakup of the Twin Great Emperors, Donghuang the Great had wanted to make the martial arts flourish so the people could cultivate better.

What kind of person was Donghuang the Great exactly?

Perhaps Donghuang Diyuan's sadness was related to this.

In addition, there actually was an island of light within the most

terrifying region of the Dark World. Did the Dark Sovereign allow this miraculous island to exist to prove that when the world was filled with darkness, there would be true light?

Who exactly was the woman in the Sacred Lake?

Ye Futian turned around and began walking away from this place.

Nothing that the Dark Sovereign had done before had affected him as strongly as the last conversation with Ye Futian.

He could not help but think of some things. He wanted to explore the truest world. What kinds of people were The Buddha, Human Ancestor, and Donghuang the Great really? Great Emperors were already gods.

After becoming gods, what kinds of beliefs did they hold onto? Like the Dark Sovereign said, could they really be a group of ingenuine people?

Or maybe it was because everything the Dark Sovereign saw was dark, so he naturally held some bias.

If this world really were, as the Dark Sovereign said, then would he himself change?

Ye Futian thought that he probably would. The memories that the Dark Sovereign had forcefully planted into his mind had made him experience a lot of darkness, but they could not change him. Ye Futian thought that this might be related to his real experiences. It was not that he had not experienced darkness before, but at many of his most important moments, there would always be some dazzling people who helped him feel the light and warmth of the world.

His teacher, Hua Fengliu, Grandmaster, Third Brother Gu Dongliu, Second Sister Zhuge Mingyue, Big Brother and teacher Mr. Du, Douzhan, Emperor Xia, Dali Imperial Advisor Qi Xuangang, brother Yan Yuan and many, many others… These people had all played important roles in his growth. Lord Taixuan and the other seniors he had met later all had their own unique personalities, and these all influenced him.

Thus, one could say he was lucky. This entire path was dangerous, but he had met these people, allowing him to never waver from his true nature.

Pushing these thoughts away, Ye Futian did not overthink. Right now, he was still only a chess piece on the game board. He could not even see clearly who was playing the game. He would only be qualified to fight with the emperors when he reached the Imperial Realm!
