I reincarnated in a cultivation world as a omnipotent villain-Chapter 209: Two Other Omnipotent
"Of course, naturally, this spear has its limitations as well," and then he did not forget to add:
"Heaven favors balance and equality. Moreover, the Heavenly Dao is merely an impartial awareness, programmed to strengthen the cosmos while maintaining its laws."
"The Heavenly Dao does not possess free will. Even its awareness is based on preordained programming set by a higher entity."
"No matter how much it wishes to act for the benefit of this chaotic cosmos, it must still operate within the boundaries of the laws."
Thus, even the "Heaven-Destroying Spear" and the "Destiny of Sovereignty", despite their advantages, have their own drawbacks.
"The spear feeds on destiny. Naturally, the destiny that serves as its nourishment must be vast and powerful—one that is equal to the destiny of an entire Heavenly World."
"Therefore, the Immortal Court uses the destiny of sovereignty to sustain it. Do you know what's even worse? It doesn't matter if this weapon sleeps or not—it must always be nourished. Otherwise, due to a lack of destiny, it will self-destruct."
"A weapon of such unfathomable power, if it self-destructs, will naturally cause the collapse of the entire Lower Verse. That is precisely why the Immortal Court is forced to constantly nourish it, and as a result, the destiny of sovereignty weakens year by year."
Ling Weitian explained, and Tian Shen could even sense a hint of contempt in the old man's tone.
"Their actions are beyond foolish. The day the destiny of sovereignty perishes, the Immortal Court will perish alongside it."
Of course, Tian Shen naturally understood why this old man looked down on them.
They had obtained an immensely powerful weapon, but the price they had to pay was not small. Sooner or later, the destiny of sovereignty would collapse due to their actions.
When that time comes, what will they do? How will they govern the Lower Verse? They will even lose the right to call themselves the Immortal Court.
"It's only natural. Why do you think the Heavenly Court is so determined to suppress other supreme forces like the Primordial Protoss and the Tian Family?"
Ling Weitian's eyes were filled with even greater disdain.
"The Heavenly Court wants to destroy these two forces in order to devour their destiny, using it to strengthen the destiny of sovereignty once again."
"From the very beginning, this war between the Tian Family and its allies against the Immortal Court was an inevitable event. The only question was when and why it would happen."
"And you became the reason for this war."
Ling Weitian sighed. Interworld politics were truly exhausting.
Sometimes, he wished he could return to his younger days—when he didn't have to think about anything and could simply fight and enjoy himself.
"I'm just an excuse, though. You've underestimated the plans and ambitions of the Immortal Court."
Tian Shen let out a chuckle. The old man's words were not wrong—but they were not entirely correct either. The Immortal Court's ambitions were far grander than that.
Their goal was to unify the entire Lower Verse and integrate it into the Immortal Court. By doing so, they sought to exponentially increase their power and eventually extend their reach toward the Upper Verse.
In the Upper Verse, they were not weak, but unlike in the Lower Verse, they could not be considered an unrivaled superpower. There were ancient and taboo forces even stronger than them, and even those forces did not dare claim dominion over the entire Upper Verse.
But these bastards of the Immortal Court truly had such ambition, and their master plan was meticulous and precise—an endeavor that had been unfolding for billions of years and might take billions more to complete.
Of course, Tian Shen saw no reason to let this old man know about all that.
"Oh? It seems you know more than this old man does."
Ling Weitian chuckled, though he did not take it too seriously. Whatever the Immortal Court's plan was, it had to be stopped.
"Unfortunately, you went a little too far this time—you killed the patriarch of the Yun Family. They will not let this matter go."
Then, he brought up another important topic.
"They were just looking for an excuse to side with the Immortal Court. You and I both know that."
Tian Shen then looked up at the sky.
Naturally, he did not care about the consequences of his actions. Such matters had no effect on him whatsoever.
"Ah, that's true. But making enemies with them at this moment was a bit of a mistake. Still, what's done is done—you can't change the past."
Ling Weitian sighed. Young people truly had a way of causing trouble.
"I don't think you actually care about the Yun Family, do you? In your eyes, they're nothing more than insects."
Tian Shen sneered, looking at his ancestor.
"Well, it seems I can't hide anything from you. I'm really not afraid of those fools. After all, they're just a bunch of children who have only risen to power in the last few hundred million years."
"My real concern is the Immortal Fairy Palace, which supports the current heir of the Yun Family. That force is not something we can take lightly. They, too, were one of the top contenders in the battle for the destiny of sovereignty."
Even he had to admit that the Immortal Fairy Palace was a deadly and terrifying force—especially since their founder was an extremely fearsome existence from the Upper Verse.
Unlike many native powers such as themselves, the Tian Family, and even the Immortal Court, whose founders were all born and raised in the Lower Verse, the Immortal Fairy Palace was different.
Their founder had already been an apex powerhouse in the Upper Verse when, through an unknown and hidden method, they had descended to the Lower Verse and established their faction.
One must understand that ascension is easy, but descent is nearly impossible—the Heavenly Dao simply does not permit it. And yet, for some reason, that person had managed to descend!
"Your concern is understandable. That force can indeed be troublesome."
For once, Tian Shen agreed.
The Immortal Fairy Palace even had connections to one of the two other omnipotent beings—to be precise, their founder was in direct contact with one of them.
Tian Shen was not afraid of those two, but naturally, he had to be cautious. Still, he had no need to worry about the Immortal Fairy Palace itself.
He could simply destroy them or find a shortcut to take control of them.
Of course, depending on his mood, he would decide later whether to take the direct route or use more subtle methods.
He personally preferred using shortcuts—it would allow him to learn more about the other two omnipotent beings through their founder.
He then shifted his attention back to Ling Weitian, and they continued their conversation until the sound of ancient war drums and trumpets echoed across the world.
"We, the Yun Family, demand justice for the death of our leader! We hereby declare the beginning of an Immortal War against the Ling Family!"
