"This-"
The shocking changes that unfolded in those few moments left Yuangeng briefly stunned. Facing the mighty Dark Emperor Venerable, he had clearly been prepared to fight to the brink of death, but events had already gone far beyond anything he could comprehend.
The Desolate Heaven Emperor had left a contingency inside Emperor Venerable, allowing an entirely new Primordial Spirit, untainted by darkness, to be born within Dark Emperor Venerable?
Wasn't this fucking bizarre?
With that thought, Yuangeng turned to glance at Light Emperor Venerable again. The developments in this timeline had become rather incomprehensible to him.
"You mean the Desolate Heaven Emperor knew what was happening in your universe?"
Only after a moment did he ask that question. Judging from the River of Time, this was clearly a timeline doomed to destruction. But if there really was an Emperor Venerable with two personalities fighting each other, perhaps things were not quite so dire.
"He knew, but his true body had more important matters to attend to in another realm. He couldn't spare the attention to deal with this place specifically, nor could he resolve its problems in person. Without you breaking the deadlock, another hundred thousand years or so would have passed, my dark self would have become an immortal and the vessel of the Emperor, and all would still have been lost."

Yuangeng nodded in understanding. After repeatedly checking that no remnants of darkness remained within Emperor Venerable's new personality, he provisionally accepted this teammate, joining him
