“He has developed absolute control over the practitioners. Those who change professions through the Exchange Stone Pillar, and even the mutated creatures infected by the practitioner system, their lives and deaths are all just a thought away from the sovereign!
“So, the result is quite simple…”
Lin Haifeng continued speaking, but his voice grew colder.
“The Aogules incident has just passed, and now another Lin Haotian has appeared. The sovereign certainly can't be oblivious to the inconsistency in this matter, but he is enduring... until Lin Haotian fully matures and comes before him, then the sovereign finally uses the last trump card.”
“He threatens Lin Haotian with the lives of all practitioners in the world, even Lin Haotian's own life, to make him betray the demon lord! Moreover, you need to note that although the demon lord has reincarnated Lin Haotian, he likely hasn't set up any countermeasures. In other words, Lin Haotian's betrayal doesn’t require any cost.”
“If it were you, what would you do?”
Upon hearing Lin Haifeng's question, Wen Yu sighed.
“I would choose betrayal.”
One side has no cost, and the other is completely dead…
This choice is so easy that even a fool could make it, right?
“So, the subsequent events are straightforward.”
Lin Haifeng continued.
“Lin Haotian defeats the demonic clan supreme council, the war reignites, and it falls into a stalemate. Years later, the sovereign summons Lin Haotian…”
“This summon, Lin Haotian has no ability to refuse — first, he is the first in the sequence, the ruler of all under heaven, and naturally needs to be concerned about the people. Second, his own life is also in the hands of the sovereign.”
“Just like the immortal emperor and the Heart Lock, the immortal emperor has means to escape the control of the sovereign, thus he daringly launched a counterattack against the sovereign. I guess he must have received some promise from the demon lord, which provided him with a better way out. As for the Heart Lock and Felix, I do not know if they have that capability, but being concerned about the people is a significant threat in itself. In addition to the sovereign's absolute military suppression... there’s no reason not to attend.”
Wen Yu began to understand the logic behind this.
The former immortal emperor, how powerful and proud he was, however, as long as he remains bound to the Immortal Heroic World, he cannot escape the sovereign's coercive control!
He has the ability to change races, and his son can also change races, but what about others? What about the Immortal Heroic World?
To become the first in the sequence and to promote to an eleventh level strongman through conventional means are all individuals chosen by the planetary will, those who are concerned about the people.
All this pressure and choice piled upon the immortal emperor’s shoulders might be one of the reasons he expressed “eternal life without being the first in the sequence.”
Of course, regarding the aspect of being concerned about the people, there may be exceptions...
“What about you?”
Lin Haifeng’s sudden question startled Wen Yu, and he pretended to be confused and asked,
“What do you mean?”
“Forget it, it’s nothing. Let’s push it further.”
“Push it further? Isn’t there already a result? Lin Haotian has betrayed…”
“This is far from over... Don’t you want to know what the sovereign's last summon wanted these heaven's chosen to do?”
Lin Haifeng’s smiling face on the electronic screen appeared so captivating in Wen Yu’s eyes that he straightened his back and seriously asked,
“Is there a result?”
“After reviewing Lin Haotian's data, there is indeed a preliminary result.”
“What result?”
“Counter-assassination! The sovereign is conducting a reverse pursuit against the demon lord! They are using the same method as the demon lord to pursue the sovereign! ”
“This is an idea provided directly by the demon lord to the sovereign! ”
