The Underworld Devil Lord's heart leaped with joy when he heard that!
Then a thought gave him pause.
He was glad the Radiant Emperor had failed, but he wondered whether he should join forces with him.
He soon shook his head and spoke directly to the Radiant Emperor.
"No. That world is too valuable."
"Two beings who wield concept logic lie dormant inside it!"
"They're caught in some kind of struggle."
"If we join forces and destroy that world, we'll set them free."
"I intend to take control of that world, then use the power of its Heavenly Dao Reincarnation together with my own concept logic to erode theirs bit by bit."
"Once their concepts collapse, I'll devour them completely and advance another step!"
"Overturning the table would only let those two out. That's not what I want."
"They're only nine Immortal Realm-level beings, after all."
"Next time, I'll create an opening and kill them one by one."
"Even if they control that world's Heavenly Dao Reincarnation, I'm not without a chance."
"So I won't let you overturn the table!"
A shadow passed through the Radiant Emperor's eyes when he heard this.
"Your appetite is too great. You want every benefit for yourself. Be careful you don't pay a price you can't bear."
The Underworld Devil Lord smiled faintly. "You needn't worry about that!"
"We'll see who wins in the end!"
"Hmph. One day, you'll pay for your arrogance!" the Radiant Emperor said, his words seeming to carry a deeper meaning.
The Underworld Devil Lord only sneered.
"I've never regretted a thing!"
Light and darkness collided wildly, their powers clashing again and again within the boundless River of Fate.
By then, the Radiant Emperor's avatar had realized the Underworld Devil Lord would not help him. He made a new decision.
