Today's fourth update: Chapter 2195! 4/4!
Xu Kun shook his head, putting away that terrifying thought.
Yet the more he thought about it, the more likely that possibility seemed!
Almost no one could make one of the Four Fiends, an independent entity, obediently listen to them—unless it was a pet bound by bloodline.
But that raised another issue, just as Xu Kun had advised Hao Jian against setting his sights on that Taowu God Egg.
Hao Jian could not control it, so who could possibly control Qiongqi, another one of the Four Fiends, and even train him into acknowledging his identity as a member of the Tiger Fiend Race?
More importantly, Xu Kun had helped Taotie descend into the world and earned her recognition, but he did not have the ability to make his Little Hei Zi, like Qiongqi, become an independent entity capable of moving freely within the Haotian Pagoda like the myriad-race trialists!
A pet, yet independent!
An independent entity, yet one of the Four Fiends!
Thus, this became a contradiction.
Of course, this contradiction was not impossible to resolve. If there was a way, there could only be one!
Like those who had buried their own legacies and ruins within the Haotian Pagoda and reached an understanding with it... they had to stand above the rules!
There were not many people capable of doing that...
Forget about Seventh Realm existences. Even Eighth Realm existences could barely accomplish it. Only ancestor-level existences among the top races of the myriad races were qualified to reach that sort of agreement with the Haotian Pagoda in its original complete state.
"Now this is getting interesting." A smile curled across Xu Kun's lips.
After eliminating every impossibility, the only remaining answer, no matter how absurd, had to be the correct one.
