Chapter 4266: A Deeper Level

"Hehe… I dare not say now, but at that time, it was definitely wrong!" Shang Dao sneered.

In fact, during the last ten thousand years, Shang Dao had also been constantly reflecting: was he right back then?

At that time, Shang Dao governed the All Heavens and Myriad Worlds, serving as a Dominator of a region.

He did not want to be involved in danger; he wanted peace and stability. Possessing absolute strength, he could be said to be an invincible existence.

But because of this persistence, he eventually brought about his own death.

However, Shang Dao still successfully activated the ancient contract specifically to protect the Lower Realm.

Afterward, Shang Dao utilized the Secret Technique of the Qingling Clan to begin his Cultivation anew.

From his position as a weakling, he witnessed the Divine Emperor growing stronger step by step, becoming the strongest existence in the God Domain, an invincible being.

He was far more invincible than Shang Dao had been back then.

It wasn't until that day that Shang Dao suddenly realized that the invincibility in his eyes was merely because no one capable of defeating him had appeared yet.

In fact, Shang Dao was very aware that even if that conspiracy against him hadn't occurred, the Divine Emperor would have eventually been able to defeat him.

This was because the Divine Emperor's mindset made him clearly understand that only power is eternal…

Only by possessing power yourself can you make everything eternal!

Later, Shang Dao became Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan and accompanied the Divine Emperor on his conquests.

Among the Lower Realm experts who had once allied with the Divine Emperor, as long as there were those who did not submit, the Divine Emperor would ruthlessly erase them.

Once he discovered someone had developed rebellious intentions, the Divine Emperor would also ruthlessly erase them.

It could be said that Shang Dao witnessed the Divine Emperor's iron-blooded methods.

However, because of the ancient contract, the Divine Emperor was helpless against this Domain.

He could only send people to the Lower Realm to find a way to destroy the ancient contract.

As long as the contract vanished, everything would change.

However, this was far too difficult…

The God Race was isolated and did not dare to make any major moves, until Xiao Fan rose up and wiped out the God Race.

And then, it reached this day!

The day the two Realms merged, the day the Divine Emperor had the chance to prove his name!!

"Hehe… Shang Dao, your thoughts weren't wrong. It's just a pity that now, if I say you are wrong, you are wrong." The Divine Emperor sneered, shaking his head disdainfully.

"Strength decides everything; it can dominate everything and change everything. Shang Dao, after all these years, you should be able to understand this point."

"Understand? Even if I understand, what of it?" Shang Dao shook his head. "I hope for peace, I hope for everything to be stable, I don't want to see slaughter, I hope for everything to be harmonious. But everything you do will bring disaster. Could it be… that what I did was not right?!"

"Disaster? Harmony? Shang Dao, you are too ridiculous… If you don't prove the name of the God Domain, would there be no conflict in the God Domain? Would there be no slaughter? Shang Dao, why are you still so naive? Unless you kill everyone, there is no such thing as so-called peace." The Divine Emperor shook his head and sneered, "It is because of these naive thoughts that you ended up in such a state."

Hearing this, Shang Dao fell silent.

In fact, how could Shang Dao not know what the Divine Emperor was saying?!

The former Shang Dao was originally close to the Divine Emperor, but because their philosophies differed, he was ultimately killed by the Divine Emperor in league with many experts.

Afterward, he approached the Divine Emperor under the identity of Heavenly Venerable Shenzhan.

This allowed Shang Dao to gain a deeper understanding of the Divine Emperor.

Was the other party's idea wrong?!

In a certain sense, the other party's idea was not wrong either.

"Hehehe… Shang Dao, the person who is wrong is you, understand?" The Divine Emperor sneered.

"I… I am not wrong. I did it to protect the people of the God Domain, otherwise, we…"

"Who do you want to protect? Who needs your protection? Before you wanted to protect them, did you ask if they were willing? Who doesn't want to become stronger? Shang Dao, you are wrong." The Divine Emperor interrupted Shang Dao's words with disdain.

"I… You…"

"Hehe… Shang Dao, remember, the person who is wrong is you!" The Divine Emperor spoke coldly.

Shang Dao was silent; at this moment, he truly felt that he was wrong.

Over the years, Shang Dao had seen a great, great deal. Everyone was working hard, everyone was raising their Realm and striving to become stronger.

Yet, he himself…

"Hehe… Wrong? Where is the error? I think Shang Dao is not wrong." Xiao Fan sneered.
