Chapter 1007 Small talk
"Your strength is no less than when I left. Why didn't those guys in the Temple take you to maintain their so-called order?"
"The Primordial Celestial Venerable asked calmly."
On the surface, Hunyuan Tianzun proudly announced his victory, but only he knew how hard-won that victory had been.
Originally, Hunyuan Tianzun was supposed to fall together with Miris after that final clash of energy, but at this crucial moment, Xin briefly lent his power to Hunyuan Tianzun, which is the source of that sudden burst of chaotic power.
Therefore, in a sense, Hunyuan Tianzun did not win that battle.
Especially in the mind of the arrogant Hunyuan Tianzun, but in fact only Hunyuan Tianzun would think so.
If this had happened to Miris, he wouldn't have felt the slightest bit embarrassed about winning unfairly. Instead, he would have said that once a contract was signed, he was part of me, so what was wrong with using my own power?
There was no mention of suppressing one's strength before the battle started, was there?
“The Wings of Rebirth and the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe came to me, but I refused. I still prefer a carefree life.”
"Haha, your thoughts coincide with mine. We really did become friends after our initial misunderstanding."
"Ah, you think so too? Then why did you join in the first place?"
Now it was Miris's turn to ask.
"Back then..." Hunyuan Tianzun recalled the distant, glorious years.
However, even older than the time when the Ancient Elf King existed, the Primordial Celestial Venerable was then called the Dimensional Celestial Venerable.
He and the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe are very good friends. Compared to Ziyou, the Dimensional Celestial Venerable is more carefree and unrestrained, with his only goal being to become stronger.
On the contrary, the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe always had a deeper meaning in every action he took, and all the elves at that time had been saved by him.
It's regrettable that Hunyuan Tianzun, who always longed to become stronger, ended up being less powerful than Hanyu Xinghuang, which foreshadowed his later deepening obsession with power.
Ultimately, the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe was elected as the Great Emperor of the Cel Universe. The Lord of the Spirit Beast Palace, Salmon, was his servant and was sent by him to cultivate the five divine beasts to guard the star system.
Initially, the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe was enthusiastic about his identity as the Great Emperor of the Universe, hoping to use this identity to resolve all conflicts in the universe.
But he gradually realized that his ideas were too naive. Whenever he stopped the conflict as the Great Emperor of the Universe, the conflict would stop quickly, but as soon as he left, the next conflict would start again at an extremely fast speed.
He understood that the reason the elves stopped fighting was simply because they feared him, and since he couldn't possibly guard every corner of the universe, he could never stop the conflicts between the universe.
Just then, three powerful figures hidden at the pinnacle of the universe appeared: the Wings of Rebirth, the Holy Light Spirit God, and the Heavenly Emperor.
At the urging of two of them, the Star Emperor of the Universe joined a brand new organization, the Temple of Heroes.
The purpose of the Temple of Heroes is to maintain the great order of the universe, while minor disputes are ignored, as they are a necessary process for the growth of elves.
Having experienced previous setbacks, the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe readily accepted this concept.
At the same time, these three also discovered the formidable strength of Hunyuan Tianzun. Although he was not as powerful as Hanyu Xinghuang, the Hero Temple was currently short of people, so having some was better than having none.
Hunyuan Tianzun thought that since all his good friends had joined, it wouldn't hurt for him to join too. Maybe the Temple of Heroes could make him stronger. Then he realized that he had entered a place he shouldn't have entered.
"Rebirth Wings, I'll give you a good beating! You didn't say a word about how boring it was to join the Temple of Heroes. You promised there would be a way to make me stronger, but you actually said I shouldn't be too obsessed with power."
When he got excited, Hunyuan Tianzun couldn't help but swear.
"That guy is really cunning. If I hadn't known beforehand what the work at the Temple of Heroes was like, I probably would have been tricked by him too."
Miris nodded in deep agreement.
"Since you are so open, Brother Celestial Venerable, then I will not hide it from you. I was indeed sent by the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe."
"Don't misunderstand, he didn't send me to monitor you, he sent me to protect you."
Noticing that Hunyuan Tianzun's gaze had become somewhat strange, Miris quickly explained.
"Ha, protect me? Are you kidding me, or is Star Emperor stupid?"
"I'm not joking with you, and the Star Emperor hasn't gone stupid. It's all because the Star Emperor inadvertently saw your future..."
Miris relayed everything that the Star Emperor of the Vast Universe had said to the Primordial Celestial Venerable.
"In that future, you possessed power that is now unattainable, but your heart was dead, and you were sealed away alone in the desolate lands."
Even witnessing the astonishing sight of the former Emperor Hanyu Star couldn't cause him much emotional fluctuation.
"Seeing my future self?"
"It relies on desolation. If I'm not mistaken, you should have returned to the Seer universe some time ago."
Hunyuan Tianzun nodded in confusion.
"At that time, the cosmic rift was unfolding, and the Star Emperor sensed your presence. He couldn't help but want to find you, but ended up alone and trapped in the desolation."
"He saw you in the future through the power of desolation, and with your help, he successfully returned."
"You should know that it was the Lord of the Temple who chose to exile you. The Heavenly Emperor only played a supporting role. The Star Emperor was unaware of it."
Hunyuan Tianzun remained silent, barely accepting Miris's explanation. Suddenly, he raised a question:
"So what happened to me in the future that turned me into someone who needs saving? And frankly, with your abilities, you probably aren't strong enough to protect me."
"If there is a danger that even I cannot resolve, adding you to the mix probably wouldn't make much difference."
Clearly, Hunyuan Tianzun did not completely believe Miris's one-sided account.
He wouldn't refrain from using Xin's power just to save face when faced with real danger; using Xin's power would significantly increase his strength.
With what Miris said about his future self possessing the power he desired, his strength will definitely increase further.
Miris, who could only fight him to a draw under normal circumstances, could not possibly play any crucial role in a danger that even he, who was so many times stronger, could not handle at that time.
"Because your true tragedy in the future is not being defeated, but your mindset. You will encounter an invincible opponent, the one who made you sign a contract, who will use your power to escape this universe."
"Ah, you actually knew that I had made a contract with someone."
Hunyuan Tianzun was shocked. He had signed a contract with Xin in the Eight Desolations after being expelled. Logically speaking, even Hanyu Xinghuang might not have known about it.
