Chapter 1431: Chapter 489: A Glimmer of Hope, Cooperation? (4108 words)_2 Chapter 1431: Chapter 489: A Glimmer of Hope, Cooperation? (4108 words)_2 Chen Fan leisurely prepared to leave the Sealed Depths.

Suddenly…

“Wait a moment…”

The voice of the 7th Void Sovereign suddenly transmitted over.

“Hmm?”

Chen Fan turned around in surprise, “What, you want to keep me for dinner?”

“…” The 7th Void Sovereign said, “Demon King, I can feel that your power is advancing by leaps and bounds.”

“You… have you fused four laws already?”

Chen Fan tilted his head and said, “Correct.”

There was no need to hide such things.

Even without invoking the power of the fusion of the four laws, beings that had fused with more laws could still sense it.

“Your cultivation speed can be described as unprecedented.”

A glint flashed in the eyes of the 7th Void Sovereign as he said, “Could it be that you have already retrieved the memories of the ancient times?”

“No,” Chen Fan shook his head.

“Impossible!” the 7th Void Sovereign bellowed, “How could you possibly cultivate so quickly without the memories from the ancient period?”

“The comprehension and fusion of laws are measured in millions of years!”

“Within such a short period of time…”

“You stopped me just to say these pointless words?” Chen Fan raised his eyebrows.

The 7th Void Sovereign was silent for a moment before saying, “Demon King, actually… we can collaborate.”

“Collaborate?” Chen Fan cracked a smile.

The extremely vile remnant soul of the Void Sovereign actually wanted to collaborate…

Was it becoming desperate as it neared being cropped at the root like a leek?

Then the 7th Void Sovereign said, “What you said before was correct… the so-called Void Sovereigns are nothing but Puppets, so much so that they don’t even have names, just numerical designations.”

“Under the Void Dominator, all are ants.”

“The Void Sovereigns are no exception.”

“Demon King, in the past, you slaughtered thirteen Void Sovereigns, but it only delayed the inevitable for a little while.”

“If the Void Dominator wishes, he can create thousands upon thousands of Void Sovereigns in a few breaths!”

“Neither this Universe of yours nor any other can withstand them.”

Chen Fan’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Then, on what basis should I collaborate with you, what can you offer me, and why do you want to collaborate with me?”

“Why I want to collaborate with you… I have been pondering that question as well,” the 7th Void Sovereign said, “I thought about it for a long time…”

“When puppets realize they are puppets, naturally, they no longer wish to be puppets.”

“When chess pieces realize they are chess pieces, they will try to find a way to escape the chessboard.”

“The Void Sovereigns you slaughtered back then, some of them are probably completely obliterated, while others, like myself, have been split into several parts and sealed in different places by you.”

“We have naturally been treated as expendable all along.”

“When the Void Descent begins, our fates will be the same as yours.”

“Fate?” Chen Fan sneered.

The 7th Void Sovereign continued, “Being assimilated by the Void, then completely Devoured, that is the fate for both you and me.”

“So…” Chen Fan said, “you believe we are doomed?”

“Not dead…” the 7th Void Sovereign said, “but something worse than death.”

“It’s also been millions of years that I’ve been sealed, and I have come to understand this issue.”

“Demon King, there’s no denying that your Talent is awe-inspiring, but it’s no use, you can’t possibly stand against the Void Dominator.”

“That is an existence that can even Devour the Heavenly Dao!”

“After countless eons, no one knows how many Heavenly Daos they have Devoured and fused with…”

“Under Heaven and Earth, there is nothing that can stop their advance!”

Chen Fan was silent for a while before saying, “If you’re so pessimistic, then what’s the point in seeking collaboration with me?”

“A glimmer of hope!” the 7th Void Sovereign said, “Whether mere mortals or God Demons, Void Demons, likewise… if there’s a glimmer of hope, why would we give up?”

Chen Fan’s expression was as still as water, “Where lies this hope?”

The 7th Void Sovereign did not speak, but looked at Chen Fan and began to laugh.

Chen Fan said indifferently, “Unwilling to speak?”

“Very well, after weakening your power to a certain extent, I’ll devour you with a Black Hole, then extract your memory.”

The 7th Void Sovereign shook his head and said, “Before I am reduced to ashes and smoke, I will destroy all my memories, you will not be able to see them.”

Chen Fan’s expression darkened, “Is this the sincerity you have for wanting to cooperate with me?”

“This is my trump card,” the Void Sovereign responded, “With this trump card, you would be willing to cooperate with me. Without it, on what basis would you cooperate with me?”

Chen Fan sneered, “And why should I believe that you actually possess such a trump card?”

“You could take a gamble,” said the 7th Void Sovereign, “It wouldn’t be a loss for you to take this bet.”

After a moment of silence, Chen Fan said, “I need to know the general idea, otherwise, you can just wait for death.”

The 7th Void Sovereign looked at Chen Fan but did not speak.

After waiting for a moment, Chen Fan turned to leave.

“Fine!”

The 7th Void Sovereign said, “Revealing a bit won’t hurt…”

“I know the Void Dominator’s weakness.”

“You?” Chen Fan laughed sarcastically, “Merely a puppet… As you just said yourself, if the Void Dominator wishes, it can create thousands or tens of thousands of Void Sovereigns in the time it takes to breathe a few times.”

“Would something so casually created know the weakness of the Void Dominator?”

“Demon King…” said the 7th Void Sovereign, “Your Heaven-severing Demon Sword has acquired a power that does not yield to that of this particular universe.”

“Hence, even without the recovery of ancient memories, you should now understand what a multiverse is.”

“The multiverse is the theoretical collection of a potentially infinite or finite number of possible universes.”

“This particular universe is like a box that encircles all of you.”

“And there could potentially be an infinite number of such boxes…”

“The Void is like a crack among these countless boxes.”

“Do you know how the Void was formed?”

Chen Fan smiled and said, “Do you know?”

“I don’t,” the 7th Void Sovereign replied, “But it seems the Void Dominator does.”

“If this particular universe of yours is a box…”

“Then the Void is like a slightly bigger box, one that covers many universes.”

“The Void Dominator understands this, which is why it wants to break out of this box.”

“Its insane Devouring of universes is an attempt to shatter these fetters!”

Chen Fan fell silent.

He had never heard such a claim!

Even after Devouring many Void Demon Deities of Ancestral God level, he had not seen such things in the memories of those Void Demon Deities.

Even in the memories of the 11th Void Sovereign, there was no such understanding!

This 7th Void Sovereign knew quite a lot, didn’t he?

Chen Fan looked at the 7th Void Sovereign silently for a moment before speaking indifferently, “So, you say you want to cooperate, how shall we do that?”

The 7th Void Sovereign said, “You help me reassemble my demonic body, and I help you deal with the Void Dominator.”

“Reassemble your demonic body?” Chen Fan’s lips curved slightly, “Your appetite sure is big!”

What was proposing cooperation was only a sliver of the 7th Void Sovereign’s Remnant Soul left in his finger.

Yet this remnant soul was asking Chen Fan to help him reassemble his demonic body!

Did this mean assisting him in unlocking all the Seals and ultimately welcoming back a complete 7th Void Sovereign?

What a joke!

By that time, there would be no need for the Void Dominator to descend, for this one 7th Void Sovereign alone could flatten this particular universe!

“You don’t have to rush into this now.”

Seeing Chen Fan’s irritation, the 7th Void Sovereign said, “But you must hasten the pace because the time for the Void Descent is soon upon us!”

Chen Fan silently glanced at the 7th Void County Lord, and then his form vanished without a trace.

The 7th Void Sovereign stared at the place where Chen Fan disappeared for a long time before closing his eyes.

“I am actually, considering an alliance with a Demon Deity of a universe to confront the Void Dominator…”

“Have I gone mad?”

“Yes, I have!”

“When the Void Descends, that particular universe will go mad.”

“Let us all go mad together!”

“Rejoice!”

“Perhaps, the Demon King is the lifeline of Heaven and Earth!”
