The Supreme's Wrath

"What brings you here, fellow clansman?" He Heng asked with a beaming smile.

The Stone Emperor sighed. "This is a long story. We Saint Spirits were born of Heaven and Earth, the universe's favored children. Once we reached Great Perfection, we became Imperial Dao Supremes. But for that very reason, we drew Heaven's envy. Throughout history, few have truly reached Great Perfection. At present, there are only the two of us."

"Indeed. To reach Great Perfection is a blessing for us both!" He Heng nodded in agreement.

The Stone Emperor continued, "When Saint Spirits emerge into the world, whether they have reached Great Perfection or are forced to emerge early, they all take on flesh and blood. In doing so, we lose the ability to live forever in our Stone Body state. Our Lifespan becomes no different from that of ordinary beings. Take me, for instance: before I reached Great Perfection, I existed in the world for millions of years in my Stone Body state. After reaching Great Perfection and attaining the Ancient Emperor position, my Lifespan was only ten or twenty thousand years. In the end, I had no choice but to give up the Ancient Emperor position just to eke out a wretched existence. It's truly..." Sorrow filled his face, infecting everyone around him.

He Heng rose and sighed. "Fellow clansman, I understand what you're seeking. You want to know how to remain in your Stone Body state and live forever, don't you?"

"Exactly. I hope you'll enlighten me. I'll remember this great kindness forever and never forget it. If you ever need anything from me, I'll risk my life to help." The Stone Emperor pleaded, his eyes full of anticipation.

He Heng glanced at him and sighed. "Fellow clansman, it's not that I'm unwilling to help you.
