Heller's simple question was like a bolt from the blue in Zhang Tie's ears.
"Heller, do you mean there are … there are more powerful demons after sage-level knights …" Zhang Tie's heart pounded when he heard this question.
"I can only say that if there are only sage-level knights among demons, they could not influence the rules of bearing fruits on the small tree at all. Such an influence could directly shield demon knights from the rules of bearing fruits on the small tree. It's a very high-level power, which is far greater than that of sage-level knights!"
Although Heller didn't explain it to Zhang Tie, Zhang Tie who was familiar with Heller's speech style had already known the answer. Previously, Zhang Tie had a premonition about this answer; however, he didn't want to face it. Now, this answer was finally proved by the fruit of redemption of humans from Heller's mouth.
Zhang Tie didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.
The new fruit was good news for Zhang Tie; however, the confirmation that demons' battle strength was far greater than that of sage-level knights made Zhang Tie feel a heavy stress. As for Zhang Tie, this stress was like how he felt when he knew that the holy war was going to break out when he was a miserable teenager. In confusion, the silent stress could make his soul tremble and make him feel helpless and suffocated facing the vast starry sky at night.
"Is … is there really a deity among demons?"
"Tell me, what's a deity? How do you define a deity? With your current ability, if you had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years before the Cataclysm, you would be able to fly in the sky, escape the gravitational pull of the planet, be invulnerable to weapons, be ageless, be able to read other people's memories, and be able to control people's minds with just a look. To those people before the Cataclysm, you would also be a god, but do you think you are? Humans always say that deities are omnipotent; however, the word omnipotent itself is contradictory. It's a product of paradox. This word is just an ignorant fantasy. "
After being silent for a short while, Zhang Tie asked another question, "Does the small tree have more advanced fruits of consciousness of universal laws?"
"Yes, the small tree could produce 8 more fruits of consciousness of universal laws from LV 2 to LV 9. Each level of consciousness of universal laws could help Castle Lord touch the rules of a higher level. The LV 9 fruit of consciousness of universal laws is the last fruit that the small tree could bring to Castle Lord!"
What did Heller mean by that? This meant that there were at least 9 big realms after the sage level. Note that it was at least, because the small tree itself had its own limitations. This small tree couldn't create anything higher than itself …
Becoming a Saint was not the end, but just the beginning.
Behind the Saint level Devils, there were even more powerful and unimaginable beings.
'However, I'm just a shadow knight. After shadow knight, I'm a heavenly knight. Heavenly knights are sage-level knights. However, sage-level knights are just another beginning. There are more powerful realms after sage-level knights.'
Such a recognition was like pouring a basin of ice water over Zhang Tie's head. As a result, Zhang Tie quivered once out of fear. At the same time, he abruptly woke up from the sense of achievement of killing a heavenly demon knight at the bank of Weishui River.
"Now that demons have such powerful existences, why did the holy war last so many years?" Zhang Tie asked Heller.
"What do you think?" Heller also watched Zhang Tie seriously.
"Do humans also have powerful existences that we don't know?" Zhang Tie felt that it was most possible, "The more powerful an individual is, the longer his life span would be. Many unimaginable powerful existences who created the brilliant history and civilization of humans might … might still be alive …"
This answer was a bit terrifying; however, it was the most reasonable explanation that Zhang Tie could think of. If it was true that demons had existences above sage-level knights, there must be a balance force on the same level. Otherwise, demons would not be unscrupulous and such a holy war would last for almost 1,000 years.
Heller smiled silently. At the sight of Heller's expression, Zhang Tie had known that he couldn't get an answer from Heller.
Zhang Tie suddenly let out a sigh, "If I could choose, I really prefer not to have such a fruit!"
"Ostriches are used to bury their heads in the sand. They might not live longer than lions. In front of the vast starry sky, each of us is tiny. In front of the endless river of time, millions of years are just a billow in the long river." Heller watched Zhang Tie calmly, "Castle Lord, do you want to eat this fruit?"
"Yes, of course, I want to eat it. Why not?" Zhang Tie suddenly burst out of indignation as he revealed his decisive and vicious side, "No matter what, I've already made a lot of achievements in my life. I've slept with the most beautiful women, killed the toughest demons and saved many people at the cost of my life. I have what others have and what they don't have. I've got everything that I want. What's there for me to be afraid of? F * ck, I'll die like a bird in the sky; if I'm not dead, I'll live for tens of thousands of years. No matter how powerful the existences on the back of demons are and how powerful sage-level knights are, this father will not lose a hair!"
Zhang Tie said as he directly picked off the fruit of consciousness of universal laws. Sitting under the small tree with crossed legs, he bit it …
When the energy of the fruit of consciousness of universal laws broke out in Zhang Tie's body, Zhang Tie's consciousness and senses were involved in an overwhelming energy in a split second. Zhang Tie felt that he had not swallowed that fruit; instead, it was the fruit that swallowed him. Zhang Tie felt that each cell and nerve of his had been melted in that fruit …
In the overwhelming energy, Zhang Tie couldn't sense the existence of time and his body anymore. He only felt that his awareness and perception were constantly rising and shooting into the sky like a rocket. After a while, his awareness and perception seemed to have penetrated through the thick cloud barriers in the sky and jumped out of the skyline in a split second. It was light, clear and penetrated through everything.
When that consciousness gradually recovered and his senses recovered, Zhang Tie opened his eyes.
Heller was still in front of the small tree; however, those bizarre lights inside the palace tree had been turned on, which indicated that it was already evening in Castle of Black Iron.
Zhang Tie looked around and found that everything in front of him was as same as before. However, as long as Zhang Tie slightly focused on it, he would find that everything in front of him would be different …
