"Excellent!"
Seeing the Supreme Heavenly Emperor agree to join forces, Li Yu nodded with a broad smile. "Then we are allies! Let us discuss the details."
"First, let us settle how this Pearl of Origin will be put up as collateral, and how we will cooperate."
For the Supreme Heavenly Emperor, the matter he cared about most was naturally "using a Pearl of Origin as collateral."
Whether the cooperation could succeed, whether it would truly be "cooperation," did not matter to the Supreme Heavenly Emperor at all. Getting his hands on this so-called "collateral" first was what concerned him most.
"Of course! To show my sincerity, I shall put this Pearl of Origin up as collateral to the Heavenly Emperor."
Li Yu pointed at the world before them and smiled at the Supreme Heavenly Emperor. "As long as the Heavenly Emperor swears an Oath of Chaos in the name of Chaos, promising to join forces with me against the other Heavenly Emperors and seize their Pearls of Origin together, I will put this Pearl of Origin up as collateral to the Heavenly Emperor."
"Swear an Oath of Chaos?"
The Supreme Heavenly Emperor frowned slightly.
An Oath of Chaos sworn in the name of Chaos would still be witnessed by the Chaos Origin, even if the Chaos Sovereign was already dead.
Even a Heavenly Emperor at the Second Step of Chaos could not violate such an oath. Otherwise, he would be punished by the Law Origin left behind by the Chaos Sovereign.
"It is merely an oath to join forces against other Heavenly Emperors and seize Pearls of Origin together. It does not say who gets them afterward. This oath is not very binding."
After a brief consideration, the Supreme Heavenly Emperor immediately made his decision. "Fine! I agree to swear!"
