Chapter 1308: Chapter 453: Ambition
Glancing at Tian Hao, how could Haotian God not understand Tian Hao’s thoughts?
"I’m not here for you, I’m here for the Demon King."
Upon hearing Haotian God’s words, Tian Hao breathed a sigh of relief, yet he still remained vigilant in secret.
"I understand, go ahead, I won’t meddle in the conversation between those in the Creation Realm." Tian Hao said indifferently, hoping Haotian would hurry up and leave.
Haotian nodded and did not continue to stay here.
He sensed the Qi of the Demon King and eventually found him in a secret location.
Haotian’s expression was somewhat peculiar as he stared at the Demon King.
If he had not stepped into the Creation Realm himself, it would have been very difficult to sense the existence of the Demon King.
He hid himself so well, not even the Heavenly Emperor could sense him.
This made Haotian a bit puzzled as to why the Demon King would do this?
Arriving at the secret place where the Demon King resided, Haotian directly entered.
"Haotian, you are truly impolite." The Demon King’s voice sounded, filled with strong dissatisfaction.
This was his hiding place, and Haotian just barged in, an outright offense to the Demon King.
His Qi surged, almost ready to fight.
However, Haotian God had a grim expression, staring at the Demon King, his eyes flashing coldly.
"You deceived me, led me into the trap, while you stayed out of it." Haotian God said coldly.
The Demon King replied, "I don’t understand what you’re saying?"
Haotian God sneered and said, "Stop playing dumb, did you make some agreement with The Three Pure Ones, hence you didn’t act, and I foolishly entered the trap, becoming a pawn? You’ve got some big plans, treating even those in the Creation Realm as pawns, are you not afraid I’ll overturn the chessboard?"
The cold light in Haotian God’s eyes flashed, he was truly angry.
Due to the Demon King’s concealment, the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was killed.
Initially, when he escaped, he thought the Demon King would take action, but even when the Eastern Emperor Tai Yi was killed, the Demon King didn’t act, this made Haotian God furious.
With the death of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, their side lost their advantage completely.
Despite having some power under him, it wasn’t enough to maintain their edge clearly.
Haotian God originally planned to find an opportunity to completely annihilate the people from the Heavenly Court.
Due to the death of Eastern Emperor Tai Yi, he had to prematurely reveal his trump card, which includes those of the Silver-armored Celestial Emperor.
Wanting to catch the Heavenly Court by surprise and wipe them out had now become extraordinarily difficult.
The Demon King knew what Haotian God was talking about and why he was angry.
"You’ve always been in the game, did you ever think you jumped out of it?" The Demon King said coldly.
Haotian God immediately fell silent, staring at the Demon King, he asked, "What do you mean?"
"You ended The Primordial Era, became the Ancient Heavenly Emperor, and now a Creation Realm powerhouse, all were part of the game, never stepping out, you grossly underestimated Lord Taishang and them." The Demon King said indifferently.
"Impossible." Haotian God immediately retorted, how could he always have been in the game?
Given The Three Pure Ones’ apprehension towards him, they wouldn’t have allowed him to become a Creation Realm powerhouse.
All this was achieved by his own hard work, not arranged by others.
The Demon King smiled faintly and said, "You can choose not to believe it, but the fact is like this, irrefutable by anyone."
Suddenly, Haotian God slapped him, saying coldly, "You dare lie to me."
The Demon King blocked his slap, his powerful force neutralizing the mana power of Haotian God, remaining calm, though slightly mocking, he said, "Unwilling to accept? Or rather, you don’t dare to accept all this? You have the guts to overturn the table, why are you afraid? Is it because deep down, you lack the confidence; talk of overturning the chessboard is just you blowing hot air?"
Haotian God’s eyes turned somber, staring at the Demon King, coldly saying, "Don’t push me."
"I’m not forcing you, but it’s up to you how you choose, indeed you are part of the game, but it doesn’t mean you can’t jump out, or make the situation favorable to you, think about it, why get angry?" The Demon King laughed calmly, appearing quite composed, seemingly not worried at all.
Haotian stared at him, trying to see through his inner thoughts.
"I want to know what agreement you reached with The Three Pure Ones."
"It’s fine to tell you, this is a gamble, the Three Pure Ones and I won’t intervene, if the living beings of the Three Realms win, I’ll stand on the side of the living beings, completely breaking with the Holy Clan, but if I win, the Three Pure Ones can’t come to kill me and must spare me once." The Demon King sighed.
The reason he did this was actually to save his own life.
If not for that, the Demon King need not do this.
Only then did Haotian suddenly realize, the Demon King had always been concerned about his own life.
He could pave the way for the Holy Clan to come here, but at the same time, before the arrival of the Holy Clan, the Three Pure Ones also had enough confidence to kill the Demon King.
All the while, between the Demon King and the Three Pure Ones, there was a stalemate.
The Three Pure Ones did not dare to kill the Demon King, fearing he would risk everything.
Meanwhile, the Demon King also did not dare to pave the way for the Holy Clan to come here; once accomplished, he did not have confidence to avoid the Three Pure Ones’ assassination.
In such a situation, both sides ended up in a stalemate, confronting each other for countless years, neither side had the courage to break the deadlock.
Haotian God suddenly said, "Actually, if you want to break the deadlock now, I can help you. Together we can pave the way for the Holy Clan to descend upon the Three Realms. Even if the Three Pure Ones join forces, they can’t possibly kill us before the Holy Clan arrives."
The Demon King was slightly stunned but said nothing.
Haotian God looked at him and suddenly sneered, "Given your intelligence, it’s impossible for you not to have thought of this, yet you haven’t done so. Deep down, you probably don’t want the Holy Clan to descend, that’s merely a last resort for you."
The Demon King did not answer him but asked back, "Since you already thought of these, why not do it?"
The two exchanged a glance, suddenly smiling mindfully.
The Holy Clan is their last option, but not their only choice.
If the Holy Clan was brought in, the Three Realms would inevitably be destroyed, and they would only become lackeys of the Holy Clan.
Who would want to be a lackey such powerful beings?
The Demon King was unwilling, and Haotian God was even more unwilling.
They had ambition, and within their hearts lay a crazy idea.
Perhaps one day, they could become the Holy Clan, conquer the worlds, and rule one great world after another.
Why should they become the lackeys of the Holy Clan despite its strength?
"If you win, we needn’t worry anymore, The Three Pure Ones might change their mind and even stand with us. By then, when we rebuild the order, why would we need to rely on any Holy Clan? Do you enjoy being someone else’s dog?" The Demon King smiled faintly.
"This game, I’m bound to win." Haotian said lightly, turning to leave.
Since he already knew the situation, that was enough, the next step was to become the ultimate victor.
