Chapter 633: The Greatest Aptitude Throughout History

"Work for you? On what grounds? Are you strong?"

Yi Tian shouted in dissatisfaction. He had always been the one to recruit subordinates; he had never served as one himself. Previously, in the Yao Race and the Divine Palace, those in power had always treated him with courtesy.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor said calmly, "I am the previous Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, and I have now Attained the Dao. Tell me, on what grounds?"

The previous Heavenly Emperor?

Han Tuo was shocked. The current Heavenly Emperor was Fang Liang, and Fang Liang was his father's Grand-disciple. Was this Evil Heavenly Emperor a friend or foe to his father, Han Jue?

The Evil Heavenly Emperor seemed to see through his nervousness and said, "Back when your father had not yet achieved Immortal Ascension, he was already valued by me. Your father once worked for me; do you not wish to do the same?"

Han Tuo asked cautiously, "My father?"

Yi Tian was surprised. Wasn't Han Tuo's father long gone?

"That's right, it is Han Jue, the Master of the Hidden Gate," the Evil Heavenly Emperor said calmly.

Han Tuo resembled Han Jue. The Evil Heavenly Emperor had just calculated the Karma, but he couldn't see through it at all, which indicated that Han Tuo had a massive background, and that could only be related to Han Jue.

Yi Tian widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Your father is the Master of the Hidden Gate? Why didn't you mention that before?"

In the Immortal Realm, the Master of the Hidden Gate was a legendary mythical figure, on par with Saints, who had once saved the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms and possessed immeasurable Karma.

Han Tuo smiled bitterly and said, "I only found out about it recently."

He cast his gaze toward the Evil Heavenly Emperor.

He was still somewhat vigilant, but since the other party had directly stated his relationship with Han Jue, he naturally couldn't deceive him.

"Could you tell me about the past when you knew my father?" Han Tuo asked.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor smiled meaningfully, sat down slowly, and said, "Of course. This must begin from before the Heavenly Dao restarted. At that time, the Heavenly Court controlled the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Realms, and your father was just a nobody in the Mortal Realm…"

Han Tuo sat down in meditation and began to listen attentively.

Yi Tian was also very interested in Han Tuo's father and began to listen quietly.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor fell into reminiscence and recounted everything from the past.

A long time passed.

After the Evil Heavenly Emperor finished speaking, Han Tuo and Yi Tian were still immersed in the past.

Yi Tian snapped out of it and suddenly asked, "According to what you said, the Master of the Hidden Gate only took a little over a hundred thousand years to Attain the Dao?"

Han Tuo also realized this and his expression became strange.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor said, "That's right. Han Jue is only thirty thousand years older than Han Tuo. His Aptitude is the strongest I have ever seen; no person or god can compare."

Han Tuo's expression changed drastically.

Thirty thousand years old…

Even if given thirty thousand years, he might not be able to Breakthrough to the Perfection of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal, yet Han Jue, who was only thirty thousand years older than him, was already one of the most transcendent existences among the Saints. This gap…

Han Tuo revealed a bitter smile, deeply struck.

He had thought he would become Han Jue's pride, but now it seemed he was a disgrace to Han Jue.

Yi Tian was also shaken. He had always thought his own Aptitude was the strongest, but compared to Han Tuo's father…

"Oh, right. I calculated it; the time Han Jue Attained the Dao was close to when you were born. In other words, it only took Han Jue thirty thousand-plus years to go from a mere Mortal to a Saint," the Evil Heavenly Emperor said playfully.

He was also frightened in his heart.

This kid…

The Evil Heavenly Emperor knew Han Jue's Aptitude was terrifyingly high, but after calculating it carefully, it made his scalp tingle.

Even if the Dao Ancestor were reborn, he couldn't compare, right!

Han Tuo and Yi Tian were plunged into shock, unable to recover for a long time.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor did not disturb them; he himself also needed to calm his state of mind.

Han Tuo raised his eyes, clenched his fists, and said, "You had the grace of nurturing my father. If I work for you, can you help me catch up to my father?"

The Evil Heavenly Emperor kept a straight face, though he felt somewhat awkward inside.

Shamefully, he had self-awareness. His care for Han Jue could never have helped Han Jue Attain the Dao; even he himself had Attained the Dao by relying on the Legacy of the Dark Holy Monarch.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor said, "I cannot make direct promises. Your father's Aptitude is unique throughout history. However, if you work for me, you will certainly be able to obtain great Opportunity. The opportunities will far exceed your growth in the Immortal Realm. The Immortal Realm is, after all, a chessboard for the Saints, but the Dark Forbidden Zone has existences more powerful than Saints. Now that Chaos is in turmoil, it is the perfect time to fight for great Opportunity."

"Both of you possess the Aptitude of a Chaotic Fiendcelestial. I appoint you as Heavenly Generals. The Heavenly Court will only have three great Heavenly Generals, and your status will be second only to me!"

Han Tuo and Yi Tian looked at each other, both seeing the anticipation in each other's eyes.

Rather than messing around aimlessly, it was better to follow the ancient Heavenly Emperor who had nurtured a Saint!

Yi Tian asked, "What is a Chaotic Fiendcelestial?"

The Evil Heavenly Emperor looked at him deeply and said, "You are a Chaotic Fiendcelestial!"

Yi Tian was stunned.

Han Tuo, however, was very calm. Yi Tian's Aptitude was too outrageous; even if his father had given him cheats, he had almost failed to catch up.

Only the legendary Chaotic Fiendcelestial could explain it!

Wait.

Then what did his father count as?

Was he also a Chaotic Fiendcelestial?

Was there also a vast disparity in Aptitude between Chaotic Fiendcelestials?

Han Tuo couldn't figure it out, but after the Evil Heavenly Emperor's explanation, he suddenly dared not hope to surpass Han Jue, only wishing to satisfy Han Jue.

…

A thousand years passed.

Han Jue opened his eyes and calculated Han Tuo's situation.

Han Tuo had left the Heavenly Dao for some time; his cultivation had been increasing, but the Dark Forbidden Zone was ultimately very dangerous.

After finishing his calculation, Han Jue's expression became strange.

Hm?

He calculated that there was a familiar Luck around Han Tuo.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor!

Luck was very mysterious. Not only was there Luck within the Heavenly Dao, but there was also Luck within Chaos, which was Dao Luck.

"This kid…"

Han Jue suddenly realized that Han Tuo's path was very similar to his own, having encountered the care of the Reincarnation Immortal Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor along the way.

However, the Evil Heavenly Emperor had ultimately gone astray, and Han Jue was still somewhat worried.

"I want to know, if Han Tuo follows the Evil Heavenly Emperor, what ending will he eventually meet?" Han Jue asked in his heart.

[Requires consumption of four billion years of lifespan. Continue?]

Continue!

Han Jue's consciousness entered the Evolution Illusion.

He opened his eyes and found himself on a gigantic meteorite. Standing all around were countless figures. Not just on the meteorite, but in the surrounding space, innumerable figures were floating. They were all wearing black armor, wrapped in black Qi, and all looking in one direction.

The Evil Heavenly Emperor!

The Evil Heavenly Emperor was sitting on a stone chair, his posture domineering. Standing before him were three figures emitting terrifying Auras, among whom were Han Tuo and Yi Tian.

Hm?

Han Jue narrowed his eyes. He noticed that Han Tuo's state resembled a Free and Unfettered Saint, and the Aura of Freedom was visible to the naked eye.

By following the Evil Heavenly Emperor, could Han Tuo achieve the status of a Free and Unfettered Saint?

Yi Tian said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, we are ready."

The Evil Heavenly Emperor rose slowly. The entire Dark Forbidden Zone twisted because of it, and a domineering and peerless Aura erupted, sweeping across the Dark Forbidden Zone.

"Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court! I founded the Heavenly Court several epochs ago. The Heavenly Court has unified the Dark Forbidden Zone, swept across the Guixu Divine Realm, annihilated the Inauspicious Evil Spirits, expelled the Dao Demons, and protected hundreds of small Heavenly Daos. You are my proudest soldiers. Now, an unprecedented great enemy is approaching. We cannot retreat. If we retreat, the Heavenly Dao will certainly be destroyed!"

"Are you ready to fight for the honor of the Heavenly Court?"

The Evil Heavenly Emperor's voice was full of dominance, causing all the Immortal Gods of the Heavenly Court to respond in unison, "We, your humble subordinates, are willing to have our bodies and souls destroyed for Your Majesty, and we will not hesitate!"
