James looked at the man who claimed to be the Holy Master of Nothingness.
Since the Holy Master of Nothingness had created so many challenges, he must have left an inheritance for his future successor.
Thus, James went straight to the point.
“Since you’ve entered the Palace of Nothingness, you’ve met my conditions as a successor.”
The Holy Master of Nothingness said slowly, “You can become the new master of Mount Nothingness. But, before that, I need to
inform you of some stuff. After you hear me out, you can decide if you still want to become the new master of Mount
Nothingness.”
James listened carefully to him.
The Holy Master of Nothingness explained, “During the time when I was the Lord of the Twelfth Universe,novelebook.com this
universe was prosperous. Unfortunately, one day, evil thoughts came into my mind while I was cultivating in seclusion. The evil
thoughts began to grow and eventually left my body to form a living being of its own.
“That new living being could be considered to be me.
“After that happened, I went into seclusion. Meanwhile, the embodiment of my evil thoughts took over Mount Nothingness.
“He called himself the Dark Lotus Demonic Ancestral Master. He suppressed all the powerhouses of the universe. The Dark
Strife struck our universe when most of the powerhouses were gone.”
...
James listened carefully to the Holy Master of Nothingness recounting the past events. He explained the Dark Strife to James.
The Dark Strife originated from the Dark World. It was the attack of a powerhouse in the deepest part of the Dark World on the
Illuminated World. After livings beings of the Illuminated World died, their souls would enter the Dark World.
The Dark World needed new blood, so an attack on the Illuminated World broke out.
The Holy Master of Nothingness explained that everyone had evil thoughts. In the past, he could suppress his evil thoughts.
However, the Dark World played a few tricks and caused his wicked thoughts to grow and manifest into a living being. From that
moment onward, his evil embodiment became a puppet of the Dark World and helped harvested new souls for them.
“Your physical body is reformed by the embodiment of my evil thoughts. Thus, you have strong ties and Karma with Mount
Nothingness. If you choose to inherit Mount Nothingness, you’ll have to protect this universe. You’ll need to lead Mount
Nothingness, or even the entire universe’s powerhouses, to the deepest part of the Dark World to eliminate the biggest threat to
our universe.
“If you choose not to inherit Mount Nothingness, my Art of Nothingness is stored within the Palace of Nothingness. It contains
everything I’ve learned my whole life. You can leave this palace with it,” The Holy Master of Nothingness’ voice resounded.
After hearing his stories, James clearly understood what the so-called Dark Strife was.
The universe prospered, resulting in no living beings dying. Therefore, no souls would enter the Dark World.
As a result, the Dark World launched an attack on the Illuminated World. Their goal was to get more creatures to die so their
souls would enter the Dark World.
James thought of Emperor Jabari and Yukia.
Previously, Yukia made an appearance in the Dark World. When he reached the mysterious palace in the Dark World,
novelebook.comEmperor Jabari acquired a lot of information from the message left behind by Yukia.
However, Emperor Jabari did not share the information with him. Thus, James was unaware of what it was.
He intended to revisit the Dark World.
However, now was not the right time yet.
He was still very weak and could not reach the deepest part of the Dark World.
