Chapter 4049 Convening After A Defeat

In one of the grand palaces in the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm.

There were a lot of people who were gathered at the behest of someone. It was a person whom they wouldn't offend out of the respect in their hearts, much less dare.

Above the stage, there were a few grand characters gathered. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They were the incumbent heads of the three strong Heaven's Warrior Organizations, including Empyrean Miller Skyrend, who had been previously suspected of being turned into a sleeper puppet for the Divine Emperor of Death and was restricted for a while.

It seemed like the suspicions were finally dropped since he could stand here. Among them, there were also a few Realm Masters, including the Eternal Twilight Lower Realm's Realm Master and the neighboring realm's Realm Masters.

There were a lot of murmurs and soul transmissions.

They seemed to be restless.

They were all waiting for a while when suddenly they all went on one knee without the slightest hesitation.

"The Supreme One enters the Eternal Painting Palace~"

After the voice of the palace guard, a white-robed man flew into the palace and headed straight towards the stage.

When he landed, he greeted the ones on the stage by cupping his hands, and they also returned the gesture and stood up silently

The Supreme One then turned to look at the crowd, his lips curling in amusement. He could sense they were confused and disturbed, but no one seemed brave enough to question him.

"It seems like everyone has a sore point that they find in themselves. That's great. It says that you're all still humans, not much different from normal cultivators."

The Supreme One nodded, "Now, let's get to the point. In this crusade against the Divergents stemming from that realm, you all only managed to kill a Thunder Divergent and then throw all the efforts on eliminating the Divine Emperor of Death yet still failed miserably."

"..."

The Heavens Warriors' expressions changed. They lowered their heads since they were aware that Autarch Elluro Coldwing failed and was possibly sent out to the void for overdoing it in the Lower Realms. Nonetheless, not only did they fail, but they also got caught as they failed to die. They became prisoners.

It was an unbearable humiliation.

Some of them who were caught were also here. They couldn't even raise their heads properly from the beginning, feeling intense shame.

They felt like they caused the Supreme One to compromise for their lives. It was a steep sin deserving of death.

"After that, he hid himself from the public eye and even our Mystic Diviners and took the crusade all hostages. Did it bind our hands? No. Then why did I grant him the covenant and not kill him? There are a lot of reasons, but the main one is that he is an Anarchic Divergent who doesn't wish for bloodshed like most of them do. We can't push him there by ourselves, but if we did push him, then it would have to be a lightning attack that kills him and his fellow Divergents all in one stroke. To let him or the others go after making a big move would only fuel their fire and spread calamities throughout the Lower Realms, endangering more people."

"As the matter stands, we still can't find him nor end him in one move since he must be capable of reviving himself. From this, we can understand that the Divine Emperor of Death has become nearly unkillable in the Lower Realms. Perhaps we may find him the next day or nine months later, but I fear by that time, he would really become unkillable and a malevolent menace, unlike he is now where he wishes for peace. Hence, to seal a devil from becoming a fiend and give you all the chance to prove yourselves from your failures, I have restricted him with the covenant and also hope to use the covenant to end him."

"...!" The Heaven's Warriors felt shaken.

In essence, the covenant wasn't all concession. It was also a deadly contract where if the Divine Emperor of Death made one wrong move, his soul would shatter and scatter, disallowing him to revive even if he could revive.

All they had to do was sacrifice one life. If he even so far as gravely harms a single one of them and they commit suicide at the same time, it would become his fault, leading to his demise.

In other words, the Supreme One gave them the easiest task of all time!
