Chapter 2073: Chapter 2073: Two Choices
Bao and Tianlu kept facing Chu Yuan without daring to relax for a moment.
Two supreme beings from the heavens had descended upon his Treasure Realm, and he had already anticipated what was coming.
If a true war were to break out, even though his Treasure Realm was far stronger in both hard and soft power compared to the Blood Domain, he knew it would surely be destroyed in the conflict.
Bao had sacrificed too much for his Treasure Realm.
"I, along with Lunhui, have come to the Treasure Realm for significant matters that concern the current cosmic order and your future."
Chu Yuan’s presence was absolute, imposing over Bao of the heavens.
In that sudden moment, Bao felt a moment of trance.
It was as if he were facing a supreme entity, a realm higher than his own, reaching the dominion level of a heavenly Sovereign.
He thought to himself in secret, this Martial Emperor, having recently become a supreme being, already possessed such incredible power.
"Martial Emperor, undeniably, your power is immense, surpassing my own."
Bao acknowledged Chu Yuan’s strength as overwhelmingly superior.
"Prior, when you slew the supremes of Sun and Moon, Wan’e, it could be argued that you used the power of the heavens as a sacrifice to swiftly ascend. Yet when you sacrificed the Blood Supreme, you were clearly sparking war, shattering the endless years of peace among the heavens. Are you intending to ignite a cosmic battle among the supremes once more?"
Bao spoke calmly.
"Bao, indeed you are clever, and yes, my intention is to ignite a war among the heavens, a war grander than that sparked by the Supreme King, to utterly revolutionize the cosmic order and forge an eternal era for the Martial Empire."
Chu Yuan confronted Bao’s words, directly stating his purpose with no hint of concealment.
With such power, he could be reckless.
"A grander cosmic battle!"
In Bao’s wise and calm demeanor, he was momentarily taken aback.
He didn’t expect such frank admission.
Though many of the supremes had guessed his intent, acknowledgment from one’s own mouth was entirely different.
His ambition was enormous, recalling the battle among the supremes where many perished, he felt a deep-rooted tremor from his soul—it was nothing short of a catastrophe.
For Bao, ambition wasn’t so grand.
He focused on crafting treasures, strengthening his Treasure Realm, thinking little, content to follow the Supreme King and create a world without any interest in conquest, which held no attraction for him.
During the cosmic battle, he remained neutral, mainly because of his strength.
As long as he didn’t aid the Supreme King, whether he acted or not, he inherently weakened the King’s power.
As Tianlu was about to speak, Bao gave him a look, then said, "The war among the heavens is something all supremes wish to avoid. Martial Emperor, even with unparalleled power, recklessly initiating such a war could indeed lead to utter annihilation!"
"Once the wheels of war are set in motion, there is no possibility of halting them. The war among the heavens will be initiated by me and I will be the one to end it, ushering in a new era, one that I alone will begin."
Chu Yuan’s words bore an unassailable confidence.
"Are you trying to draw me into your ranks?" Bao calmly asked.
"Bao, your crafting of treasures would not have reached today’s heights without the aid of the Supreme King. His ideal was pursuing greater infinity within infinity, which is why I assist Martial God, also for this purpose. In today’s world, there are too many heavens and too many voices; ideals cannot be implemented."
Yanran spoke.
"The Supreme King’s ideals are not my ideals. My vision is simply to carefully manage my Treasure Realm, forge more treasures, create more treasure-born beings. I want no part in war, and though my existence indeed received immense help from the Supreme King, the situation then left me powerless to do anything. I never acted against the Supreme King."
Within Bao’s tone was profound helplessness.
"The Supreme King failed, and his ideals collapsed. Lunhui, I ask you, do you believe if a cosmic battle were started again, you might succeed?"
Bao inquired.
"Undoubtedly, the Supreme King failed. Though potent, his approach destined him to fail. He aspired to create a fair, impartial world where all strive collectively towards beauty, but that failure was inevitable. Without overwhelming power to suppress all, fairness and beauty won’t prevail."
Yanran declared: "This time, we shall annihilate all resisting domains, unifying all voices through cosmic war to achieve an eternal grand era."
"Annihilate the resisting domains!"
Bao trembled as the words resonated.
A similar goal, yet entirely different methodology.
Their approach was far more brutal, cleansing from top to bottom, starting anew.
"This will provoke the greatest war, leading to unknowable celestial casualties!"
Tianlu couldn’t help but speak.
Though he was among the supreme beings, his ordinary power meant he would be one of the many to perish in a cosmic battle.
"There is no alternative. Without destruction, there can be no creation. Without an intense war, there won’t be a new grand era."
Yanran’s tone was icy.
"Lunhui, I comprehend your intention. You aim to align this heaven with your faction. If I reject, you’ll surely act to obliterate this heaven!"
Bao responded.
"Considering our past creation of a world and the slim hope of you joining our faction, I appear peacefully in your Treasure Realm with Martial God; Sun and Blood are the most evident examples."
Yanran replied.
Peace?
Bao felt a surge of anger.
No, he was angry at the heavens.
What sort of peaceful approach was this—two top-tier supreme beings appearing directly in his Treasure Realm, exhibiting utmost power and straightforward statements with no room for refutation?
"I wish to join no war, just as during the cosmic battle." Bao stated.
"Times have changed, the heavens have shifted, strategies differ. Bao, you should know, now differs significantly, your stubbornness will lead to disaster."
Yanran remarked.
Bao fell silent.
Times have changed.
During the cosmic battle, everyone knew the Supreme King was strongest, and war aimed to topple him.
But now, the situation is fragmented, arising a Martial Emperor who aims to end this fragmentation through a blood-thirsty war.
He realized.
If he doesn’t aid, he essentially aids those opposing the Martial God.
If Martial God triumphs, then acknowledging this is too late—Martial God won’t spare him.
He pondered this crucial choice of faction; he found it exceedingly difficult.
He understood, provoking a cosmic battle, securing victory, was near impossible.
"Bao, your value is immense. Unless necessary, I shan’t destroy your Treasure Realm. Meanwhile, I give you time to consider, along with two choices."
Chu Yuan stated.
In the eyes of the supreme Bao, a divine choice was made.
[Choice One: Join the Martial faction, live!]
[Choice Two: Refuse to join the Martial faction, die!]
