"There was a certain degree of Black Emperor power within him. It influenced Edwards, allowing him to retain part of his own will even after being 'reborn.'"
Xu Yue looked at the towering stone gate before him and spoke calmly.
"In other words, is Father more likely resisting the corruption from the starry sky now? Did he lock himself in here?"
Bernadette had also identified the issue.
Her father should still be struggling.
"Perhaps. Maybe he's rather resistant to having children."
In fact, the corruption here was also trying to erode Bernadette. If it succeeded, Bernadette would start having children too.
However, because Xu Yue was here, he blocked out all manner of monsters and demons, which was why things seemed relatively stable.
"Let's go in. The starry sky's gaze has already arrived."
Xu Yue raised his head. At that moment, it was as though an ozone hole had appeared above the island, tearing open a rift that allowed a portion of its power to seep through.
However...
The portion of his power outside Earth could likewise enter through without damaging the barrier...
Upon entering the Black Emperor mausoleum, Bernadette cautiously surveyed her surroundings.
Anything involving the starry sky was not to be taken lightly, even though she had already become an angel and there was an enigmatic existence of unknown status beside her!
Her father appeared to have become the Black Emperor, a True God, yet he was still constrained.
There was no need to use any abilities related to 'peering into secrets'; everything here was clearly displayed before her eyes.
The interior of the Black Emperor mausoleum was utterly empty. Aside from the pitch-black walls and the raised platform at the center, there was nothing else.
On the platform stood a chair seemingly made for a giant.
