Qin Wuyou's attitude nearly made the elderly Emperor-to-be explode with rage.
He was a mighty Emperor-to-be! When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Yet no matter how furious he was, he could only swallow his anger.
Had anyone else threatened him, he might not have been afraid.
But Qin Wuyou really would follow through!
As a mighty Emperor-to-be, he had once dominated an entire era, contending with countless peerless powerhouses in a blaze of glory.
How glorious he had been then, how imposing.
But times had changed, and now all that remained of him was this feeble soul.
If even this last fragment of his soul were refined away, he would be reduced to ashes and smoke forever.
Hadn't he hidden inside the Silver Mask, clinging to his last breath, precisely because he wanted to live?
Only by surviving would he have a chance to rise again!
That was why he was less willing to die than anyone else!
What did it matter if he sacrificed a little dignity to stay alive?
The elderly Emperor-to-be quickly persuaded himself. His eyes darted before he hurriedly said, "I have information about the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury. Keep me alive, and perhaps I can help you find it someday!"
The Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!
Those words alone carried immense weight!
Even Qin Wuyou had heard of the Heavenly Emperor's Treasury!
Throughout all eternity, only one person had ever earned the title of Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor had risen in the primordial age, subjugating ferocious beasts, suppressing the myriad races, and ruling supreme across the ages as he led the Human Race to its pinnacle.
Ultimately, the Heavenly Emperor had led countless members of the Human Race in ascending to Highest Heaven, founded the Heavenly Realm, and fought to establish a brilliant golden age.
