Lucifer's refusal

A short while later.

The five Supreme then approached Jiang Yuu and bowed respectfully.

"Father God (My Lord)."

Jiang Yuu You nodded slightly, gesturing for them to stand up.

He looked at these five of His most trusted juniors.

These five Supreme.

Lionheart, Anwyn, Gael were his children, and their abilities were proven over the long years.

Lucifer was His favorite Morning Star and adopted daughter. Although she was somewhat rough in her actions, she was also wise and had a strong sense of the big picture.

Michael, on the other hand, was the person He considered to be most like Him, being brave, fearless, loyal, and reliable.

These five people are the ones He values most, and the ones He most wants to help improve and advance.

Most importantly, the blood of the Angel Race flows in their veins.

The other ministers, sons, and descendants either treated him as an equal, lacked the wisdom and ability to meet his standards, or did not possess the capacity to independently govern a region.

However, He does not decide which of them will become the master of the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye.

It depends on their own thoughts.

In the realm of True Nothingness.

The radiance of the wings of the Angel Supreme Banishment all darkness and illuminated the place where they stood with bright light.

Seeing that Jiang Yuu You did not speak first.

Lucifer then asked without any hesitation.

"My lord, did you summon us here because you have something to instruct us on?"

Lucifer's clear voice broke Jiang Yuu's thoughts. He smiled as he looked at the beautiful blonde Angel with golden eyes, and watched her make a charmingly silly gesture with her tall and perfect figure. He couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

"Lucifer, you little rascal."

"Alright, since you've asked, I'll get straight to the point."

Jiang Yuu smiled.

He raised in his hand the dazzling, all-encompassing, Ember Emperor's Divine Eye.

"As you can see, this is an eye of the Ember Emperor, from which I extracted the scattered Embers and remaining divine power, and with my own Holiness power as the guide, I forged a Sovereign Grade."

"A supreme treasure of the Sovereign Grade!"

Upon hearing this, the five Angel Supreme exchanged a glance, and each of them was startled.

This is one of the most powerful treasures they have ever known in the history of the Multiverse.

Jiang Yuu ignored the shock in their eyes and continued speaking.

"And I've decided to give this priceless treasure to one of you!"

"Once you equip this Ember Emperor's Divine Eye, you will possess a portion of the power of the Ember Emperor Alanmonlos, to a certain extent."

"And this power is enough to suppress all beings below the Sovereign Grade!"

"Give it to us?!"

Lucifer was the first to exclaim in surprise.

"Really?!"

Gael also covered her mouth.

Lionheart and Michael looked thoughtful, while Anwyn asked with a more composed expression.

"Father God, you've given us such an important treasure, and granted us such immense power, comparable to Sovereign Grade. Is there some mission you have for us?"

"Indeed, every force comes with a responsibility."

Jiang Yuu looked at her son with relief, not expecting him to be the one to speak first.

In the past, influenced by his adventurous Divine Office, this son had a lively and energetic personality and loved adventure.

Looking at it now, it seems much more stable and reliable.

He continued.

"What I want to say is that whoever obtains the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye must guard the Endless Planes for me, ruling this place for ten million years in the name of the Holy Paradise Mountain."

"For the next ten million years, you must continue to implement the benevolent policies left behind by Ember Emperor Alanmonlos, as I promised Alanmonlos."

"In addition, you also need to reformulate the Endless Code in the Endless Planes, modeled after the Codex of the Holy Paradise Mountain, and bring this vast Land of Being under the purview of Order."

"The peace brought by Alanmonlos, we will help them extend for ten million years."

Jiang Yuu stood with his hands behind his back, speaking leisurely.

However, the five Supreme reacted differently.

But one thing was clear in their expressions: a hint of worry.

Ten million years, not ten thousand or one hundred thousand years.

This is a period of time that has never ended since the birth of the Holy Paradise Mountain; it is a period of time longer than their own lives.

Jiang Yuu You took in their expressions and continued speaking.

"There's one more thing I didn't tell you earlier: anyone who possesses the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye can obtain countless pieces of information about the Sovereign Realm and experience the mysteries of this realm in advance."

"With ten million years, you too may be able to become Sovereign by relying on Endless Planes."

"However, this possibility is unlikely."

As outsiders, it is highly unlikely that an outsider would become the master of the Endless Planes.

Unless one receives the "favor of Heaven's Will" from Endless Planes.

But that's even more unlikely.

The Endless Planes were, after all, creations of the Eye Emperor.

"But becoming Supreme at the peak of the Seventh Realm is still possible."

Upon hearing this statement...

The five Supreme were immediately tempted, but soon, various thoughts began to surface in their minds again.

Of all those, only Lionheart's eyes showed a resolute determination.

None of the five people spoke up.

Clearly, compared to wielding the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye and being separated from the Multiverse for ten million years, this was beyond their expectations.

Jiang Yuu You also noticed Lionheart's expression.

This left Jiang Yuu somewhat helpless.

In His view, the most suitable one was actually Lucifer.

She is decisive, brave, wise, and has a strong sense of the big picture. She has experience in fighting against the Abyss and Paradise Mountain, as well as in Holiness Consul, making her the most suitable candidate.

As long as she rules over the Endless Planes, these Endless True King will surely be subdued by her.

Unfortunately, He could see that the reluctance in Lucifer's eyes was the strongest.

So Jiang Yuu asked.

"Lucifer, are you willing to wield the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye?"

"I refuse, my lord!"

Lucifer answered decisively.

Why?

Jiang Yuu You looked puzzled.

"Because, if one were to wield the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye and control the Multiverse, one would have to be separated from the Multiverse for ten million years."

"To be away from the Multiverse for ten million years is to be away from you for ten million years. I, Lucifer, absolutely do not want to be away from your glory for so long. I cannot imagine it. I would not even be willing to be away from you for one hundred thousand years, let alone ten million years, that is too long."

"I will dedicate my life to serving you, my lord, and I will never leave you."

Lucifer spoke firmly.

These words warmed Jiang Yuu You's heart.

"Alright, you silly child."

He smiled helplessly, completely abandoning his idea of having Lucifer take control of the Ember Emperor's Divine Eye and rule over the Endless Planes ten million years on behalf of the Holy Paradise Mountain.

Hearing Jiang Yuu's helpless words, Lucifer suddenly smiled mischievously and spoke.

"Besides, even in Multiverse, I could achieve the Seventh-Realm Supreme in ten million years."
