Emperor Phoenix's voice carried incredulous bewilderment. "Their auras... their auras are similar too? Could they have originally been the same existence?"
Green Emperor murmured, "It is said that in the beginning, Emperor Cang had been searching for something, something suspected to be an opportunity to attain the Great Dao Realm. He traveled through several Boundless Great Worlds and buried several Boundless Great Worlds, yet found nothing.
"Could it be... that what Emperor Cang sought was also the Flawless Dao Heart?"
The Yin Yang energies of Zangdixing stilled for a full three breaths. His voice held a complex understanding. "The only thing that could drive an existence like Emperor Cang mad was probably something that could grant entry into the Great Dao Realm."
Origin Emperor was the most direct. "So Cangyuan was the traitor? He was the one who brought the Black Tide here?!"
One could well imagine the shock of the five Dao Venerables.
But Emperor Cang did not look at them.
From beginning to end, His gaze had rested in only one direction—Cangyuan.
Those crimson pupils carried complicated emotions that had crossed endless ages and traversed countless dimensions, like a traveler who had searched for his other half through endless years and had finally seen the long-awaited figure at journey's end.
Emperor Cang spoke. His voice was calm, yet it carried an indescribable profundity. "We have finally met."
Cangyuan stepped out from behind Pangu and stood above the Homeless Domain. Facing Emperor Cang's crimson eyes, he replied without surprise or agitation, "Yes."
"We have finally met."
Two pairs of eyes met in the void.
One azure, one black-red.
Born from the same source, yet walking entirely different paths.
Emperor Cang's crimson pupils churned with irrepressible ecstasy.
Like a ravenous beast finally catching sight of a feast laid before it.
