"Senior Emperor Seven."
The other party was sparing with words, but it did answer whatever he asked.
"I'd like to ask, why are you trapped here?"
After pondering for a while, the other party said, "That is a long story. The connections behind it could not be explained even in days. But you must understand that I bear not the slightest ill will toward you, nor toward this sixth-level stellar-source world connected to the ancestral realm. If I can be reborn, I will merely return to the homeland of our Orderly Bee Clan. Of course, the generous reward I promised you will not be lacking."
"Is that so?"
Li Tianming knew its cultivation had to be terrifying.
If all those sealed bee-headed people in the hive truly stood at the peak of the Cosmic Cartography Realm, that legion could sweep across the entire Darkstar with ease.
"Then I have another question. Of the thousands of Darkstar disciples who came to this ancestral realm, did they leave alive?" Li Tianming asked.
"Other than those who died in the first round, most are alive. The rules here were designed to deliver a blow from the outset, letting the children be driven by psychological shadows in the competitions that followed," Emperor Seven said.
"Senior, you mean the trials here were not designed by you?"
Hearing that Dongshen Xiaoli, Lin Hongchen, and the others were alive, Li Tianming breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Naturally not," Emperor Seven said.
Li Tianming mused to himself: Then the reward for the victor of this place's trials should not have come from Emperor Seven either!
"Then may I ask, Senior, if I defeat Shenxi Shang, what can I obtain? This fusion of six little planets?" Li Tianming asked curiously.
"Hehe."
Emperor Seven laughed gently for a while
