This remark actually made the man feel much better inside, causing that expression to lighten up: âThatâs right, he will always be the loser before myself. If thereâs nothing else you need to report then you can go back down. I want your full attention on that Yun Ruo Xi, nothing is to happen to her.â
First assessing the Monarchâs mood some more, Elder Cloudless grew hesitant but decided to speak his mind anyways: âMonarch, thereâs actually one more thing on my mind, Iâm just uncertain if I should say.â
âWhatâs the matter?â
âItâs about that Yun Ruo Xi,â Cloudless treaded carefully since he knows his following words would be dangerous, âthereâs been rumors floating about with the ladies in your harem. Theyâve already heard about your order of saving her. Everyone believes you are interested and wants to make her your concubine, this includes Yun Ruo Xi herself with the way she acts before the others.â
Hearing this, the man not only didnât get angry and actually laughed: âIf she is her former self then I would perhaps be interested, but sheâs so self-centric that it disgusts me with the current iteration. In fact, I wouldâve killed her myself if she didnât have some use remaining.â Pausing after realizing heâs gone a bit too far in that canted remark, âBut... if she really wants to be my woman then I wonât mind taking her into my harem, thatâs only if she could help me deal with Di Cang that is. Enough, let her be. As long as sheâs within the domain then she could do whatever she likes.â
âYes, Monarch.â Elder Cloudless cusps his fist in compliance and retreated. He did not want to continue disturbing his liege now that heâs got his questions answered.
After the door closed, the man slowly closed his eyes and inhaled a deep breath: âIf I can break into the True Celestial rank then this domain will no longer be able to trap me. Unfortunately the goal continues to escape my grasp yet again...â
Ever since the establishment of the main world where recorded history came into existence, only two individuals were known to have reached the True Celestial level. The first being Di Cang the great Demon King from a million years ago, the second being a human heroin who managed to defy all odds and overcome her oppressors.
Of course, thereâs also Heavenly Flame Monarch who almost reached that level as well, but he perished after using his own body as a medium to seal off the various domains from the main world, thus disqualifying him from that roster.
âSo what if none had ever broken into that level since those two? It doesnât mean I canât....â Suddenly, a faint cackle began to escape the manâs mouth like some sort of great villain.
The guyâs not delusional or conceited though despite the confident statement. Heâs got a plan. Aside from making a breakthrough using oneâs own ability, thereâs also a second method to achieving true godhood and that was using a Celestial Heart, the essence of a True Celestial.
Now this would be where Yun Ruo Xi comes into play with the plan. He has no way to get his hands on a True Celestial heart of course, but he does have the supposed new incarnation of that lady. By using her and another item to rip the heart from her soul, he could then step into a whole new stage! At that point what couldnât he do? Destroy Di Cang? That would be a simple point of his finger by then!
Of course, thereâs the issue with the missing item, he still doesnât have it, and thatâs currently in the Demon Realm. Itâs the main reason he sent the fox lady over there, itâs to steal the other key item in hi grand plan.
