"I'm sorry, but I don't want to become the ruler of the Spirit Realm. Besides, the Spirit Realm already has its own ruler," I said.
"You mean that woman? Unfortunately, she isn't the ruler of the Spirit Realm," Abe no Seimei said.
I stopped. A strange change flickered across my face as I asked softly, "Then who is the ruler of the Spirit Realm?"
"At present, the Spirit Realm has no true ruler." Abe no Seimei looked at me and smiled. "But if you wish, I can assist you in becoming its ruler."
"What do you want?" I asked bluntly.
"I want a position beneath you," Abe no Seimei said.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him. "I don't know where you got that idea, but I have no interest in fighting for supremacy."
"Even if you have no interest in fighting for supremacy, with the power you possess, you'll have no choice but to do so," Abe no Seimei said.
"It seems you know something about the Ten Reverse Dao," I said, eyeing him strangely.
"I've only heard a legend," Abe no Seimei said.
"Oh? What kind of legend?" I asked.
"It is said that once the Rebels Against the Dao gather together, they will possess the power to change the Heavenly Dao."
"The Heavenly Dao?" I gave a cold laugh and said disdainfully, "If we're talking about changing the Heavenly Dao, can ten people really do it?"
"That's right. As long as you master the Ten Dao-defying powers, you will possess the power to change the Heavenly Dao. It is said that during every calamity, the Ten Reverse Dao will play a crucial role." Abe no Seimei held his paper fan, a trace of coldness appearing on his handsome face. "In other words, you are the saviors."
