A conversation
but.
As the King of the Mirror Sea, who once vied with Jiang Yuu for the Supreme Authority of the Celestial Emperor, Ming Laite is no ordinary person.
Even if Lucifer used all the power of the entire Multiverse Abyss, he still could not conquer the vast Mirror Sea, Undying Bird could he defeat this Seventh-Realm Supreme who was known as the King of the Mirror Sea and the Phoenix Emperor.
The Multiverse Abyss and the Mirror Sea were thus plunged into a fierce war.
The war between the two special domains of the Multiverse is welcomed by all other forces in the Multiverse.
After all, to become the ruler of a power during this period, one must naturally have the ambition to unify the Multiverse.
The reason why Mirror Sea is mired in war is that they have lost a powerful enemy in the struggle for the Multiverse.
With no leader in place, the plan for the Multiverse to jointly attack the Holy Paradise Mountain was thus abandoned.
This, to some extent, alleviated the pressure on the Holy Paradise Mountain.
Central Region.
The second level of Holiness Second Paradise Mountain.
The Holiness Consul Hall.
This hall was built in ancient times under the supervision of the Chief Angel Raphael.
Its dome is arched by pure white megaliths, with reliefs spiraling along the ribs and converging at the center of a gilded sacred emblem.
The sunlight from Paradise Mountain streamed through the high windows, transforming into long pillars of holy light that spilled into the hall. The dark gold patterns on the ceiling subtly revealed the trajectory of Stars, while the shimmering white stone slabs shimmered with light. The pillars of light and the shadows of the pillars intertwined, creating a serene and solemn atmosphere, where every inch exuded Holiness and Order.
This is where the ancient, Holiness Consul govern the Multiverse.
And at this moment.
Inside this Holiness hall, however, stood a chessboard.
A goddess with golden hair and golden eyes, exuding a noble aura and resembling an empress, is playing chess with an old man with a weathered face and an imposing presence.
Behind them stood several Supreme Grade powerhouses, remaining silent.
Halfway through the game, the white-haired old Supreme suddenly put down a chess piece and sighed.
"Your Majesty, if I am not mistaken, the current Master of the Abyss, King of Fallen Angel, and Emperor of War, Lucifer, actually betrayed Paradise Mountain on purpose back then, didn't he?"
"Your Supreme is wise and insightful; I knew I couldn't hide anything from you."
The goddess with golden eyes smiled and nodded, which was taken as acknowledgment.
"Your Majesty has made a brilliant move."
The white-haired old Supreme smiled and praised.
"To have Lucifer betray Paradise Mountain, no longer confined to the Holy Paradise Mountain's Land of Being, but instead venture out to rule the Abyss, rebuilding a powerful force that echoes the Holy Paradise Mountain —that is truly brilliant."
The diva shook her head.
"At the time, I didn't actually know that Lucifer would get to where he is today."
The white-haired old Supreme laughed.
"His Highness Lucifer is the person who most resembles His Majesty Yuliel."
"If we were to search the entire Holy Paradise Mountain, only Lucifer could contend for the Supreme Authority Wielder over the Multiverse."
"It took twenty million years, starting from the Seven-Layer Hell, to conquer the entire Multiverse Abyss. The process was incredibly difficult, but Prince Lucifer still managed to do it."
Such a great achievement is truly admirable.
"However, I have a question, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."
"The old Supreme speaks with compassion."
Annatania became serious.
"Why didn't you tell me the truth about something so important back then?"
The Supreme Jun sighed.
He recalled how, when Lucifer betrayed Holy Paradise Mountain, he had mobilized the forces of Holy Paradise Mountain more than once to block Lucifer's rebel army, making Lucifer's journey to the Abyss fraught with hardship.
Even after Lucifer had taken root in the Abyss, several legions of the Holy Paradise Mountain were repeatedly dispatched to attack the Fallen Domain established by Lucifer.
He truly never expected Lucifer to rebel, and he genuinely hated this Chief Angel who had defected during the difficult times of Holy Paradise Mountain.
And he never doubted that Lucifer's defection was a sham.
Lucifer was arrogant, aloof, and had a high opinion of himself, treating others with disdain.
Those she dislikes, she simply doesn't. She won't give a single kind word to those she doesn't like, and even these high-ranking officials of Paradise Mountain, Lucifer rarely smiles at them.
She often referred to herself as the morning Morning Star of Lord of Heaven and considered herself to be the most like Yuliel.
Throughout Paradise Mountain, Yuliel is the eldest, Annatania is the second, and she is the third.
Such a personality is indeed difficult for people to like.
Her rebellion was actually quite fitting; she was the one least likely to arouse suspicion.
Faced with the problem of Supreme Jun.
Annatania gave a wry smile.
"Elder Jun, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but there's a reason. Please let me explain in detail."
"This matter was actually decided by Yuliel in the first place."
"He foresaw the current chaos, so He devised this plan and instructed us to implement it."
"At the time, chaos reigned, so I approached Lucifer to initiate this plan."
"Although she agreed, she made one request."
"That's the truth about her rebellion, and I absolutely cannot tell you."
"For the past 120 million years, you have governed Multiverse with tireless dedication and diligence, never slacking off."
"Lucifer respects you and believes that her plan should no longer be a concern for you."
"Of course, as you oversee the affairs of the entire Holy Paradise Mountain, this matter should not affect your judgment."
"And to deceive the entire Multiverse, we must first deceive you."
"As it turned out, her idea was right, and she succeeded."
"I see."
The Supreme Jun Being nodded in relief.
He understood that Annatania's words had been embellished and embellished.
Lucifer may not truly respect the old man, but he understands the decision not to tell him the truth in order to avoid jeopardizing the success of the plan.
As long as everything is for the sake of the Holy Paradise Mountain, then it's fine.
A smile returned to his face.
"Alright, I understand, Your Majesty."
"However, there's one more thing I'd like to confirm with you."
"Your Majesty Annatania, besides allowing Lucifer to develop and become an ally of the Holy Paradise Mountain, did you also intend to find a way out for the people of the Holy Paradise Mountain by letting him defect from Paradise Mountain?"
"As expected, nothing could be hidden from you, Elder Jun."
Annatania sighed.
"You guessed right. I had Lucifer rebel with the Blazing Heaven Holy Banner because I wanted the people of Paradise Mountain to have a safe haven when the Holy Paradise Mountain falls one day."
"Your Supreme, if that day truly comes, then you shall depart with us."
"No, I will not leave Holy Paradise Mountain."
The Supreme Jun wore a serious expression.
He refused.
"Your Majesty, a Greater God court that governs the Multiverse must always have someone to defend it."
"For over a hundred million years, the Holy Paradise Mountain has nurtured all living beings, and there have always been those who would die for it."
"His Majesty Yuliel has entrusted me with great matters; this is boundless trust, how could I possibly betray Him?"
"If the Holy Paradise Mountain truly falls, then I, the Holiness Grand Consul, shall lead the way in sacrificing myself for this Holiness Order."
"But..."
"If the Grand Chancellor were to leave with us, he would have a better position, and no one would know."
Annatania spoke up.
Supreme Jun is himself a Seventh-Realm Supreme; if he joins them, it will enhance their strength.
"No, thank you."
The Supreme Jun smiled and shook his head.
My mind is made up.
"Your Majesty Annatania, the Holy Paradise Mountain is the culmination of our efforts. I have witnessed the glory of Chang'an, and I cannot bear to see chaos in this world."
"Don't worry, my actions are not rash, but rather the result of careful consideration."
He stood up from the chessboard, looked out through the hall window at the Paradise Mountain sunlight shining down on the world.
"If His Lord of Heaven the Lord returns, he will surely retrieve me from the River of Time. If His Lord of Heaven the Lord cannot return, then so be it; this old minister will simply follow Him in death."
"Ah, Elder Jun righteous."
"However, there is still a long time before the Holy Paradise Mountain falls, so there is no need to worry too much."
