Chapter 5823: Who Would You Pick?

Everyone speculated that the founder must be stronger than the three immortals, but how much stronger?

He has maintained control over Celestial Court over the three immortals. Therefore, it should be a considerable amount since it was a one versus three scenario, not to mention their backers - Primal Ancestor and Lord of Derivation.

Given Li Qiye’s comment, he was only one step away from becoming an overlord - the step above their dreams. After all, they were more than happy just reaching the ancestral stage.

Becoming an ancestor was possible but an overlord? That felt like a fantasy. Moreover, they haven’t heard of any emperor becoming an overlord.

World and Profound have made it to the ancestral stage. On the other hand, the three immortals have been stuck for so long, making them feel hopeless.

Li Qiye’s revelation ignited their ambition and optimism. The future had so much potential, or so they thought.

Since the founder didn’t respond, Li Qiye continued: “It doesn’t change anything if you become an overlord either. That road only leads to one outcome, your being devoured by Primal and the others. After all, they will not permit the existence of an overlord in charge of Celestial Court and most importantly, Elder Galaxy.”

Having said that, he glanced at the three immortals and smiled: “Primal and Derivation do not allow these three to become overlords either, they’ll be devoured in that scenario just like you.”

“It is not true, Sacred Teacher.” The founder said.

“You know better than anyone whether it’s true or not. They want someone who can be trusted by both branches, a capable hound and you are the perfect match. Only you claim to be the one maintaining the delicate balance.” Li Qiye said.

“Mind your words, Sacred Teacher.” The founder appeared awkward after hearing this.

They heaved a sigh of relief because this was one fewer enemy.

“Is it too late now?” A crowd member asked.

A fool could see that the upper echelon of Celestial Court wasn’t going to give up without a fight. Leaving now meant being attacked by these four Ancestors.

“We missed it.” His friend sighed and thought that they should have left right after Titanic Conqueror.

Alas, they were shaken then and couldn’t muster the determination.

“What a shame, this is it for you, the capable disciple of Trinity Epoch Lord, what a shame indeed.” Li Qiye shook his head.

“Thank you for trying, Sacred Teacher.” The founder said: “I wish to die with Celestial Court, so I cannot follow you.”

“Alright, then I won’t waste more saliva and will destroy Celestial Court now.” Li Qiye said.

“Let’s see if you possess the ability to do so, Sacred Teacher.” The founder said firmly.

“Together.” The three immortals told him.

Although they were responsible for keeping an eye on him, they prepared to stand as one now.
