The Sage Emperor's words revealed a deeper meaning, and his gaze was fixed on the Ghost Emperor's face, trying to find the answer from the Ghost Emperor's reaction.
A flicker of panic flashed in the Ghost Emperor's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it.
" Sage Emperor, what do you mean by that?"
The Ghost Emperor's voice carried a hint of wariness; he didn't want to dwell on this issue any further.
Damn it.
We underestimated this cunning strategist.
How did he figure that out?
Even the two saints on the second and third levels of the Abyss have to obey its orders; this Sage Emperor is truly extraordinary.
They're not very capable, but they're quite clever.
There are many things that cannot be hidden from him.
Did he even see right through my underwear?
Thinking of this, the Ghost Emperor subconsciously swallowed.
Sage Emperor noticed the change in the Ghost Emperor's expression and smiled slightly, knowing that his guess had been confirmed.
"It's nothing, I just feel that now that your Demon Empress has awakened, the strength of your Holy Spirit Cult should have greatly increased. If you can make good use of this power, your chances of defeating Yu Longyue and the Federation army will also increase significantly."
" The Blood River God-Slaying Array is almost complete, and with the recent sublimation of the entire Douluo Star, your Demon Empress has actually already advanced to the True God Level, but is he still secretly hiding in the shadows?"
"Was this your doing, Ghost Emperor?"
The Ghost Emperor's expression grew even more somber, clearly not expecting him to be so close to the truth.
This, ironically, made him extremely unsettled.
With the help of that young partner and the sublimation of Douluo Star, the Demon Empress had long since awakened, but the Holy Spirit Cult Holy Spirit Cult had its own plans.
After all, they aren't truly allies with the Abyss Plane.
"You want to ask me how I knew?" Sage Emperor smiled and sized up Ghost Emperor. "Your ability to help us tear open the entrance to the Abyss Passage so smoothly must have involved the Plane Power, right?"
"And that ascension of the entire Douluo Star, though brief, caused an immense disturbance and represented divine power. I don't believe that even that couldn't awaken your Demon Empress."
"She herself is an existence infinitely close to the level of True God. You all have been elevated, so why shouldn't she be?"
Sage Emperor slowly stepped forward, approached Ghost Emperor, and whispered:
"How strange. Douluo Star has just undergone a sublimation, so the energy of the entire planet should be abundant. Why is the energy almost depleted in such a short time?"
"Based on our assessment, the complete sublimation of Douluo Star can support the birth of at least three True God Level, and its energy is already running out."
"Let's consider this: on the human side, according to the intelligence you provided, Yun Ming, the number one person on Douluo Star, has definitely made a breakthrough. Adding Yu Longyue, that makes only two."
"So where did the last spot go? The answer is obvious, isn't it?"
Sage Emperor raised his hand and patted Ghost Emperor's shoulder, causing the latter to tremble involuntarily.
"I thought we were sincere partners, but I didn't expect you two to have some ulterior motives."
The Ghost Emperor's expression turned extremely ugly.
He really wanted to control his facial expressions, but for some reason, he just couldn't.
My mood began to become increasingly agitated and angry.
"Don't misunderstand, our Holy Spirit Cult is just trying to hold back a trump card." The Ghost Emperor suppressed his anger and said calmly.
There were no other ulterior motives.
"Is that so? That's good." Compared to the Ghost Emperor suppressing his temper, the Sage Emperor smiled, appearing calm and collected. "So it seems you intend to use the Blood River God-Slaying Array on yourself, Ghost Emperor. You actually want to become a god yourself, don't you? Unwilling to be subordinate to the Demon Empress?"
The Ghost Emperor fell silent.
"Since that's the case, let's speak frankly." The Sage Emperor calmly found a seat in front of the Ghost Emperor, took out a human book from somewhere, and casually flipped through it, seemingly looking at the contents.
"My suggestion just now is true; we have a way to raise your and the Darkness Emperor's cultivation to the True God Level."
"Once a new Divine Realm is created, and you have God Position, you will be true gods."
"With the assistance of the Blood River God-Slaying Array, we do indeed have a chance, and you also seem to possess a trace of Plane Power."
The Ghost Emperor looked at it but did not utter a sound.
He didn't mention that the faint Plane Power was found by the young man they were working with.
"With such powerful support and our assistance, your ascension to the True God Level is inevitable. It all depends on whether you agree to my plan."
"Whether your Abyss truly wants to help us is uncertain," the Ghost Emperor finally sneered. "You yourself said you would use the power of your Abyss to elevate me to the True God Level. If I really do that, wouldn't you be able to freely reclaim this power later?"
"If you continue to tamper with this, I can easily be manipulated by you. Is that your goal?"
Sage Emperor shifted his gaze from the book to Ghost Emperor. After a moment of silence, he sighed, closed the book, slowly stood up, and turned to leave.
"Since you have no intention of continuing the cooperation, then forget it. We, the Abyss, will completely withdraw our Abyss and leave Douluo Continent forever. As for you, please leave."
"Without the Holy Spirit Cult's assistance, we wouldn't have risked so much to face Yu Longyue, especially since Yu Longyue is improving every day."
"Then we'll meet again. Life is full of dreams, and everyone should live their own wonderful life."
Sage Emperor left with extreme decisiveness.
As soon as he left, all the Abyss Creature stirred and, with perfect understanding, headed towards the entrance and exit of the Abyss Passage.
"Wait." Seeing that Abyss was leaving so decisively, the Ghost Emperor grew anxious. "Are you really so willing to give up this opportunity for Abyss to evolve in every way?"
"There will still be opportunities for evolution, but if the Abyss is gone, then we're truly doomed." The Sage Emperor glanced back at the Ghost Emperor and said calmly, "If you had the ability to deal with Yu Longyue, you wouldn't have come to us, and neither would we."
Without the Holy Spirit Cult protecting them, the Abyssal Sage King, who was wary of Yu Longyue, would never have taken such a huge risk to invade Douluo Star.
Especially the moment when the Abyssal Sage King sensed an unprecedented Plane Power erupting from Douluo Star, causing him to be awakened prematurely.
There are definitely hidden cards in the dark that He doesn't know about.
This is also the main reason why the Abyssal Sage King acts so cautiously.
"Alright." The Ghost Emperor seemed to realize something; the initiative was no longer in their hands. "I agree."
With his back to the Ghost Emperor, the Sage Emperor's lips curled into a slight smile.
He has completed the task assigned to him by the Sage King.
"Then, please prepare to wage a brand new war."
