In response to Yuanzi's greeting, there was only silence behind the metal door. There was no response at all!
Yuanzi did not care about this. This was because he had come here more than once or twice. Other than the first time he came here, the clear and melodious female voice that sounded like the sounds of nature said, "Ah, has the Heavenly Cauldron changed its key again?"
After that, there was no other sound!
This time, Yuanzi did not expect the Human King behind the metal door to speak. He was only here to strengthen the seal of the Heavenly Cauldron as a routine matter. At the same time, he was also here to talk to a supreme existence like the Human King!
"Your Majesty, I am very curious!" Yuanzi continued to speak. He seemed to be somewhat interested as he said, "You can escape after killing me and all the living Yuanzi of the past in the Yuan Gate. Why have you not attacked us all these years?"
"However, from the bits of information about Ni that the Heavenly Cauldron has revealed over the years, it can be seen that you were definitely not a merciful person in that era!"
"Therefore, I am indeed very curious. You …!"
"You and all the living Yuanzi of the past are merely the keys to this cage!" The clear and melodious female voice that he had not heard for a long time sounded once again. There was some laziness and indifference in the voice. "How can the Heavenly Cauldron tell you too much about a tool?"
"And you don't need to know so much!"
This clear and melodious female voice that he had not heard for a long time sounded. If Xiao Fan was here, he would definitely not be unfamiliar with it. This was because it was none other than Ye Ke 'er's voice!
The Human King, Ye Ke 'er!
"The Heavenly Cauldron indeed won't tell me too much!" When he heard Ye Ke 'er's voice, Yuanzi's mind shook inexplicably. His entire being was about to fall into a trance. However, following which, the power from the Heavenly Cauldron suddenly shook in his sea of consciousness. Therefore, he immediately sobered up. After which, he smiled and said, "Therefore, I am here to ask Your Majesty if you have come?"
"Why do you think that I will tell you?" Ye Ke 'er opened her mouth once again. It was as if she had changed her position. After which, she spoke in an unconcerned manner.
"Why not?" Yuanzi spoke with an indescribable voice, "Our Origin School has reached an agreement with the Heavenly Cauldron to suppress you here until you're refined by the Heavenly Cauldron. After that, our Origin School will be able to break free from the Heavenly Cauldron's control!"
"Generations of Yuanzi have been keys and tools from birth to death. We have been keys and tools for so many years. We have worked so hard for the Heaven Cauldron for so many years. Our Yuan Gate is unwilling to accept this, and neither am I."
"I …!"
"So, you want to join hands with me?" Ye Ke 'er seemed to have seen through Yuanzi's thoughts. Then, she interrupted Yuanzi's words and said in amusement.
"Not bad!" Yuanzi smiled and said, "I, as well as all of the living Yuanzi, are the keys. However, I am the main key, and everyone else is the secondary key!"
"Therefore, as long as I choose to open it, a crack will open in this cage. After which, with Your Majesty's ability, you will be able to escape. You will no longer need to be suppressed by the Heavenly Cauldron!"
"What do you think of my bargaining chip? I should be able to negotiate with you on equal terms, right? "
"Nothing!" Ye Ke 'er, who was behind the metal door, changed her posture once again. Her voice was lazy as she said, "You are just a little ant. Although you are a special little ant!"
"However, you are still just a little ant in the end!"
"And an ant will never be able to control the chessboard!"
"However, I control your freedom and life!" Yuanzi smiled faintly and said.
"You think too much!" Ye Ke 'er opened her mouth and said indifferently, "If the Heaven Cauldron wants to refine me, it will take eighty thousand years or even a hundred thousand years!"
"Moreover, even if it takes eighty thousand years or a hundred thousand years, it will start to consume my strength. However, when it has truly refined me, there will be nothing left. I'm afraid that it will take at least a million years!"
"You are considered the most special Yuanzi of all generations. However, with your talent, it is impossible for you to live for more than fifty thousand years!"
"After you die, a new key will be born for the Heaven Cauldron and replace you!"
"So, don't think too highly of yourself. You are just you. Aside from that, you are nothing!"
When he heard Ye Ke 'er's words, Yuanzi did not say anything else. The smile on his face slowly disappeared. He sat there without moving and did not say a word!
Ye Ke 'er was right. His lifespan was ultimately limited. If he wanted to participate in a power struggle between the Heaven Cauldron and the Human King, just the limit of his lifespan was enough to make it impossible for him to achieve!
If he could not even outlive others, what could he use to make a terrifying gamble that could easily last a hundred thousand years, a million years or even ten million years?
Hence, this was the main reason why he wanted to reach an agreement with Ye Ke 'er!
He was guarding the Human King, Ye Ke 'er, who was an unimaginably large treasure mountain. However, he could only watch from the outside every day. He would not be able to obtain any substantial benefits. How could he calm his heart?
The only way to break out of this situation was to adjust the balance of power between the Human King and the Heaven Cauldron. Then, a little ant like him would be able to reap the benefits!
Unfortunately!
It was a good idea but regardless of whether it was the Heaven Cauldron or the Human King, Ye Ke 'er, they would be able to see through his thoughts. Hence, he was destined to return empty-handed!
"Since the Human King isn't even willing to give me a chance, let's forget about it. Pretend that I've never said anything!" Yuanzi slowly stood up from the ground. He then stared at the metal door on the other side of the cliff and spoke unhurriedly, "However, a little ant has a little ant's way!"
"I've collected quite a bit of Divine Metal Blood. If I collect a little more, it should be enough!"
"Hence, the Human King's power will ultimately be mine!"
"You've intentionally impersonated him. Hence, you will inevitably be implicated in his karma. In the end, you will be killed by him!" Ye Ke 'er spoke as if she was shaking her head and sighing softly.
"Of course, I know this!" A strange smile appeared on Yuanzi's face. "However, your power is enough to stop him, isn't it?"
"Even if I can't obtain your power, I still have the Heaven Cauldron to protect me. As long as the Heaven Cauldron doesn't shatter, I won't be destroyed. Who do I need to fear?"
"The ignorant are fearless!" Ye Ke 'er spoke for the last time. After that, her entire body went completely silent. She no longer had any signs of life.
Yuanzi did not say anything else. He simply turned around and walked out of the stone cave.
Everything in the stone cave returned to its original calm. It was as if everything had just begun!
....
His gaze returned to the final battle between the geniuses of the three major domains!
Half a day had passed. The third round of the ranking battles was uneventful. Almost everyone had chosen to challenge. Some had failed while others had succeeded. There was not much change in the rankings!
