Under the gaze of so many people, Tuoba San swallowed hard; the pressure was immense…
"Little San, if you're here to help me, then stand over here. If you want to help the Burial Realm, then we're enemies. Have you thought this through?"
Upon hearing the high priest's words, Tuoba San immediately composed himself and spoke.
"High Priest, please don't be in a hurry. I'm not trying to help anyone..."
Tuoba San's words left both sides bewildered, unsure of his meaning...
"I came here to stop you from continuing to fight..."
Arrogance…
This was the first thought in the minds of the High Priest and Rakshasa. The war between the two worlds had progressed to the point of no return, so how could it be stopped by someone else's words?
"Hmph! Nonsense, I think you're here to help that bitch on the other side..."
The high priest couldn't help but rebuke...
"High Priest, to tell you the truth, I have a blood feud with Rakshasa, and I will absolutely not help her. I genuinely want to persuade both sides to stop fighting, as this is related to the opening of the Heavenly Path..."
What?
Is it related to the opening of the Heavenly Road?
Everyone looked puzzled, wondering how the battle between the two sides had involved the Path to Heaven...
"Boy, explain yourself clearly. Once my Void God Realm destroys the Burial Realm, will it be unable to open the Heavenly Road?"
The high priest frowned, looking at Tuoba San with a puzzled expression, trying to understand what this meant…
"Hmph! Stop spreading alarmist rumors. Do you think I'll be grateful to you for that?"
Rakshasa's icy voice rang out. She hadn't forgotten the humiliation she suffered in the sea of blood. In the heart of a powerful woman like her, even annihilating Tuoba San's entire family was less important than her own reputation...
"Rakshasa, stop being so self-righteous. You think I'm saving you? Let me tell you clearly, in my eyes, you're nothing more than an enemy I can kill at any time. Don't think so highly of yourself..."
These words nearly made Rakshasa lose her temper on the spot. If it weren't for the High Priest watching her intently, and the fact that Qingyunzi wouldn't join forces with her to deal with Tuoba San, she would definitely have attacked directly...
"Tuoba San, you're courting death..."
Despite being threatened by Rakshasa, Tuoba San didn't take it seriously. His strength was such that he feared no threat whatsoever, and even Rakshasa couldn't easily kill him...
He skipped over the Rakshasa and explained...
"High Priest, Senior Qingyunzi, I'm telling the truth. If we want to open the Heavenly Road, cooperation between the two realms is necessary..."
The two men looked at Tuoba San and didn't seem to be lying, but neither of them spoke first because they weren't sure if Tuoba San was telling the truth...
The High Priest wondered if Tuoba San intended to help the Burial Realm, while Qingyunzi pondered whether Tuoba San was helping the Void God Realm…
"Opening the Heavenly Path isn't as simple as just placing the key there. If it were that easy, the Heavenly Path would have been opened the moment the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden appeared. The reason it hasn't been opened yet is because the conditions aren't ripe..."
Tuoba San paused here, waiting for the High Priest and Qingyunzi to process the news…
Until the high priest looked up and asked
"Mistress, what conditions do you mean by 'the conditions aren't right'?"
Tuoba San didn't answer immediately; seeing that the two were about to explode, he finally spoke.
"Opening the path to heaven requires immense power..."
Upon hearing this, the high priest coldly snorted.
"I thought there were some conditions, but it's simple. All I need to do is destroy the Burial Realm and gather the power of both realms to support you. Isn't that enough to open the Heavenly Road?"
I shook my head and said...
"Things aren't that simple; opening the path to heaven requires power that transcends dimensions..."
"Little Third, you're not kidding, are you? If we had that kind of power, we would have torn through the void and ascended to heaven long ago. Why would we need to open the Heavenly Road?"
The high priest said, quite puzzled…
"High Priest, there's no need to rush. Of course I know that none of us possess this power, but that doesn't mean that we won't have it after we cooperate..."
Hearing Tuoba San's explanation, the two finally understood what he meant: he wanted the two realms to cooperate...
But is that even possible?
Just a moment ago they were fighting to the death, now getting them to cooperate is clearly an impossible task...
"Third Sister, the Void God Realm harbors treacherous ambitions. Cooperating with them is tantamount to seeking help from a tiger. You're handing the Burial Realm over to the tiger's mouth..."
Qingyunzi glared at the High Priest and said that it was obvious he did not want to cooperate with the Void God Realm. After all, there was no basis of trust between the two sides, so how could he guarantee that the other party would not stab him in the back?
"Little Third, my Void God Realm has always been powerful. Just tell me how you need my cooperation. Even without the Burial Realm, my Void God Realm can still assist you in opening the Heavenly Path..."
The high priest said confidently…
Tuoba San did not answer the two men's questions immediately, but remained silent for a moment before speaking.
"High Priest, Senior Qingyunzi, I know how deep the hatred between the two realms is, but opening the path to heaven cannot be solved simply with a key..."
As I just said, what's needed is high-level energy; it's very difficult to generate high-level power if you rely solely on one realm…
There's only one possibility now: the Void God Realm and the Burial Realm each contribute their world origins, and merging these two origins might create a higher-level power…
Tuoba San's words silenced the two men, who pondered the possibilities...
"Little San, I don't mean to discourage you, but the origins of the two realms are different. Trying to merge them will inevitably lead to conflict. Once it gets out of control, the power that erupts will be something even I can't withstand. In that case, it won't just be one realm that will be destroyed, but both realms will cease to exist..."
The high priest voiced his doubts. The reason he could still speak calmly with Tuoba San was because he possessed the secret to opening the Heavenly Path. Otherwise, if anyone else had been so slow, they would have been reduced to ashes long ago…
"What if I had this..."
A wisp of power appeared in Tuoba San's hand, like a small snake, swimming back and forth in his palm...
Not only the High Priest and Qingyunzi, but everyone who saw the small snake felt a strange greed rising in their hearts, a desire to possess it...
Upon regaining consciousness, the high priest and the others suddenly realized that this was a power beyond the current plane of existence…
The top experts on both sides became breathless; if they hadn't retained their rationality, they probably would have already started fighting...
The power in Tuoba San's hand was a trace of energy leaking from the stone gate. Although very weak, it was enough to neutralize it...
"Everyone, as long as all living beings in both realms are calmed down and their own origins are appeased, and with the assistance of the power in my hands, do you still think it's impossible to fuse together an even more powerful force?"
My words echoed through the void, and everyone stared at me in stunned silence…
