The tomb keeper smiled disapprovingly and did not argue with Die Yue.
In his opinion, conquering the Nine Heavens meant that countless lives would be sacrificed.
All living beings were enslaved by the Heavenly Court. Who among them was innocent?
Although Seamless suppressed Yan Tian, he also sacrificed himself and suppressed the Lord of Hell. That War of the Heavens also ended in failure.
Wasn't all of this going against their original intentions?
Wu Dao's main body pondered for a moment and asked, "Since the Seamless Emperor suppressed Yan Tian and the Lord of Hell, why didn't he kill them? Why did he only trap them in the Avici Hell?"
The Seamless Emperor was indeed compassionate.
However, Wu Dao's main body believed that the Seamless Emperor wasn't inflexible.
Whether it was the Lord of Hell's massacre or the sins of the Nine Heavens, the Seamless Emperor couldn't tolerate them.
Since that was the case, why did he leave the two Emperors with a chance to live?
More importantly, countless years had passed since the Seamless Era. The Lord of Hell and Yan Tian were only left with a wisp of consciousness.
Even if their bodies and souls were intact, could their lifespans last until this era?
At the mention of this, the tomb keeper's eyes flashed with admiration. "The reason for this is because the Seamless Emperor realized that with his strength, he couldn't kill Yan Tian and the Lord of Hell."
"Oh?"
Wu Dao's main body frowned slightly.
With the Seamless Emperor's strength, he couldn't kill Yan Tian and the Lord of Hell?
The three of them were Emperors. If the Seamless Emperor could defeat Yan Tian and the Lord of Hell, why couldn't he kill the two of them?
What was so special about Yan Tian and the Lord of Hell?
The tomb keeper's face showed the vicissitudes of life. He said faintly, "The few of us and the nine from the Heavenly Court can all be considered to have endless lifespans. We can live forever …"
Eternal lifespans!
Wu Dao's main body's heart trembled.
Were there really eternal lifespans in the three thousand worlds?
Wu Dao's main body said indifferently, "Endless lifespans don't necessarily mean eternal lifespans."
Endless lifespans were only normal circumstances.
If he met a stronger expert and killed them, he wouldn't have eternal lifespans. He would just live forever.
Immortality meant immortality and indestructibility!
The tomb keeper understood the meaning of Wu Dao's words. He smiled and said, "Your realm is not high enough, so you can't understand. If you want to kill us completely, unless …"
At this point, the tomb keeper suddenly paused. He changed the topic and continued, "In short, in the medium-class realm, we can live forever."
"Even if we fail to conquer the heavens and get our souls scattered, we will still return in the next era."
Wu Dao narrowed his eyes and thought of a possibility.
Hell!
If his guess was correct, the Lord of the Underworld should be on the same side as the Devil Lord.
The Lord of the Underworld was in charge of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. If the Devil Lord and Evil Emperor were to perish, their souls would enter the cycle of reincarnation. With the help of the Lord of the Underworld, they might be able to reincarnate with their memories.
No!
Soon, Wu Dao's main body overturned this possibility.
In the Devil Lord's words, he had revealed that there were a total of nine Great Emperors in the Heavenly Court. Like them, they were all immortal existences.
If that was the case, it would be easy to explain the Devil Lord's side. However, the Great Emperors in the Heavenly Court were like fire and water with the Devil Lord. How could they live forever?
"How long do the Great Emperors live?"
Wu Dao's main body asked.
"One hundred million years."
The tomb keeper said a shocking number.
An Emperor's lifespan was ten million years. When he became a Great Emperor, his lifespan could reach one hundred million years!
It was almost a qualitative leap!
No wonder there was such a huge gap between the combat power of a Great Emperor and a Great Emperor. Great Emperors should exist in the Greater World.
Although the Great Emperors lived for one hundred million years, because of the War of the Heavens, almost all the Great Emperors recorded in history books didn't have a good ending.
"Why do the Great Emperors live for one hundred million years, but you have endless lifespans and can live forever?"
Wu Dao's main body asked.
The tomb keeper said indifferently, "The opportunity to live forever is in the Greater World. If you can ascend to the Greater World, you will naturally have a chance to understand the reason."
"With your current cultivation, even if I explain it to you, you won't be able to understand."
Wu Dao's main body was deep in thought.
The tomb keeper was obviously holding back some words. Even if Wu Dao's main body asked, he wasn't willing to say it.
However, from what he said just now, the tomb keeper revealed a lot of information!
The tomb keeper had once said that the Heavenly Court was formed by nine major forces in the Greater World.
This also meant that the nine Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court should also be from the Greater World.
The reason why the nine Great Emperors could live forever was more likely because their cultivation realm was higher than that of a Great Emperor!
The Demon Lord and the others were the same.
Perhaps because of some special reason, the nine Great Emperors and the Demon Lord of the Heavenly Court were able to descend from the Greater World.
However, in the Middle World, due to the restrictions of the laws of heaven and earth, the combat power of these people would also be reduced. They could only use the strength of a Great Emperor.
"In this life, there shouldn't be any Great Emperors in Yan Tian, right?"
Wu Dao's main body suddenly asked.
"That's right."
The tomb keeper nodded and looked at Wu Dao's main body with a trace of admiration.
Wu Dao's main body had once thought of something.
The Infernal Court had long been broken in the Endless Era. Why had it not been repaired after so many years?
Even in the Infernal Court, wanting to step into the Great Emperor Realm had become as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Not to mention becoming a Great Emperor.
At this moment, he finally understood.
The Infernal Court was the Path of Hell, and it was also the Great Path that the Lord of Hell cultivated.
The Lord of Hell was heavily injured and was suppressed in the Avici Hell by the Endless Emperor. Naturally, the Infernal Court could not be repaired by itself.
Even if the Infernal Court could be repaired, no Great Emperor would be born in the Infernal Court.
Because the Lord of Hell was not dead.
This meant that his Great Path imprint was still in the Infernal Court!
As long as the Great Path imprint was not destroyed, other living beings in this world would not be able to become a Great Emperor!
The situation in Yan Tian was the same.
The nine Great Emperors of the Heavenly Court corresponded to the Nine Heavens.
Every Heaven corresponded to a different Great Path imprint.
The Yan Tian Emperor had been suppressed in the Avici Hell by the Endless Emperor. Although he had been trapped for more than an era, he had not died.
This meant that the Great Path imprint in Yan Tian had not disappeared.
However, Yan Tian was one of the Nine Heavens after all. It controlled endless pure Heaven Earth Yuan Qi and had countless treasures. Its situation was much better than the Infernal Court.
Therefore, there would still be Great Emperors in Yan Tian.
However, the Great Path imprint of the Yan Tian Emperor was still there. This meant that no other Great Emperors would be born in Yan Tian!
When the Endless Emperor chose to trap the Yan Tian Emperor in the Avici Hell, it was equivalent to crippling a Great Emperor in the Heavenly Court!
As long as the Yan Tian Emperor was alive, no one in Yan Tian would be able to become a Great Emperor.
In this era, the Heavenly Court only had eight Great Emperors!
No wonder the Yan Luo Emperor was so agitated and angry when he saw the Hell Suppressing Cauldron.
Wu Dao's heart skipped a beat. He seemed to have thought of something.
Perhaps there was another reason why the Seamless Emperor had chosen to imprison the Flame Heaven Emperor in the Avici Hell.
