"Heh, the male and female leads of The Great Ruler have both been born. Now I need to work harder, too."

After that sigh of reflection, he looked up at the sky outside. It was clear for ten thousand miles, a blue expanse washed clean.
"Ling'er, both my clones have now reached the peak of saint-grade heavenly sovereign. Once they merge, my overall strength should certainly break through to the half-step overlord realm. By your estimate, if we actively seek out the Great Thousand World's embryo of the plane now and a conflict breaks out, could we leave unscathed?" Xiao Tian Ce asked inwardly.
Suddenly, Ling'er flew out of his body and settled on his shoulder, her exquisite little face filled with worry.
"Little Mister, from what I can sense of it, it can no longer kill us. But it and I are both embryos of the plane. The temptation it holds for me is exactly the same as the temptation I hold for it.
"Either of us could grow stronger by devouring the other.
"So I'm worried it might throw all caution aside and attack us in order to devour me," Ling'er said after some thought.
Hearing this, Xiao Tian Ce frowned slightly. He fell silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.
What Ling'er had described was precisely the choice they would soon have to face.

Otherwise, the Heavenly Evil God would not have been suppressed when he invaded the Great Thousand World. He had even been forced to pretend to turn their scheme against them, willingly allowing the Immortal Emperor to seal him for forty-nine thousand years so
