Chapter 1384 - 1384 Showdown!

1384 Showdown!

The next day, the Elder Council was convened on time.

Not long after, Supremacy Round Heart, Supremacy Magnum, and Lin Feng all arrived at the council hall. Supremacy First Light looked at Supremacy Round Heart’s apathetic face. There was no expression on his face, but a strange look flashed across his eyes.

Supremacy Round Heart did not say anything. He sat on the chair and closed his eyes.

Everyone was still waiting quietly, as if waiting for Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path. No one spoke. About four hours later, the Supremacies on the side of Supremacy First Light finally could not wait anymore, and began going on the offensive.

“Supremacy Round Heart, it’s been four hours. Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path have yet to arrive. According to the rules, if they don’t come soon, they’ll be disqualified from this meeting.”

Swoosh.

Supremacy Round Heart suddenly opened his eyes, but he did not look at the person who spoke. Instead, he stared straight at Supremacy First Light. His tone was as cold as perennial ice. “Why aren’t Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path here? You should be asking Supremacy First Light. Why are you asking us?”

“Hmm?”

Supremacy First Light’s heart skipped a beat, but he pretended to be calm and asked in confusion, “Supremacy Round Heart, what do you mean?”

“Heh, Supremacy First Light should understand what I mean!”

Beside him, Supremacy Magnum also sneered.

It was unknown if Supremacy First Light did not understand, or if he deliberately ignored it, but he continued, “Since it’s time and neither Supremacy Dragon Universe nor Supremacy Ancient Path have come, according to the rules, their qualifications will be revoked for this meeting. The doors of the hall will be closed. The council begins!”

As soon as Supremacy First Light finished speaking, the door of the council hall slowly closed. Finally, only the seven Supremacy elders were left in the entire hall.

This might be the first time in billions of years that there were so few people in the Elder Council.

“There’s only one topic for the Elder Council today, and that’s the question of the future direction of the First Light. I propose that the future direction of the First Light will be voted on in the name of the Elder Council. Those who agree or object to the integration of the First Light into the Opulent Lodge can begin the vote, and whichever has the highest number of votes will be the final decision!”

Supremacy First Light glanced at the many Supremacy elders and said, “Those who agree to the incorporation of the First Light into the Opulent Lodge, raise their hands to vote!”

Then, with Supremacy First Light taking the lead, the four Supremacy elders all raised their hands in agreement.

Supremacy First Light said expressionlessly, “Looks like the results of the vote have come out. Four elders agree. Whether the three of you agree or disagree, it’s useless.”

From the beginning to the end, Supremacy Round Heart, Supremacy Magnum, and Lin Feng did not seem to have spoken. Instead, they watched Supremacy First Light’s “performance” quietly.

Supremacy Magnum sneered and said, “All right, the results of the vote are already out. Supremacy First Light, you’ve finally gotten what you wanted in the end. You want to destroy the First Light completely. Heh, did you already know the outcome of the vote the moment you killed Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path?”

“Hmm?”

Then, Supremacy First Light’s gaze shifted and stared intently at Supremacy Round Heart, motionless. Perhaps a long time had passed, or perhaps it was only for a short while. Supremacy First Light lowered his eyes and muttered in a low voice, “Supremacy Round Heart, you know everything?”

Supremacy Round Heart’s expression was slightly sinister. He had endured until now, quietly watching Supremacy First Light’s “performance”. It was only after the vote ended that he was completely disheartened.

The Supremacy First Light in front of them was indeed no longer the Supremacy First Light who had gone through thick and thin with them back then.

“Heh.”

Supremacy First Light laughed instead, but there was a hint of helplessness in his voice.

“I didn’t want to either, but you keep stopping me and going against me. You want to preserve the First Light, so do I. But I had no choice. This was the only thing I could do.”

“No choice? You had many choices, but you gave them up yourself.”

“Supremacy Round Heart, you don’t know anything. How terrifying is the power of the Opulent Lodge? The Opulent Lodge is about to open the descension passage. Do you know how many Two-star Supremacies will descend then? The Opulent Lodge has long regarded our First Light as its possession. How can we resist it? Therefore, I have no choice. I’m also doing this for the entire First Light!” Supremacy First Light growled in a low voice.

He had been suppressing it for too long.

Supremacy Round Heart looked at Supremacy First Light with a complicated gaze. Finally, he heaved a long sigh and said, “Supremacy First Light, you’re still unwilling to admit it. So what if there’s a threat from the Opulent Lodge? How many times has the First Light been threatened? So what if the descension passage is really opened? At worst, the First Light can just give up on those chiliocosm domains and head to the uncharted region to continue developing. You’ve already forgotten that the most important thing about the First Light is not those chiliocosm domains, not those resources, but its people. It’s all the Controllers in the First Light. They are the true foundation of the First Light!

“Yet you killed two Supremacy elders for such a hypocritical reason over a Two-star Boundary Stone. Two esteemed Supremacy elders were worth less than a Two-star Boundary Stone to you. Heh, you keep saying that it’s for the First Light, but in reality, your true goal is that Two-star Boundary Stone. It’s for yourself!”

Boom.

Supremacy Round Heart’s words were piercing. They pierced deeply into Supremacy First Light’s heart and his sore spot.

“No, I’m doing this for the entire First Light…”

Supremacy First Light roared furiously, and his entire being went berserk. His mighty aura erupted without restraint. The expression on his face seemed to be distorted, turning sinister and terrifying.

He was unwilling to admit that everything he did was for himself. In fact, Supremacy First Light even deceived himself, feeling that he was doing it for the entire First Light.

But was he really doing this for the First Light?

To be honest, when he killed Supremacy Dragon Universe and Supremacy Ancient Path, Supremacy First Light did not feel any guilt at all. He did not even hesitate at all.

All he was thinking about was that Two-star Boundary Stone. He was thinking about how to properly deal with the matter of the First Light after he obtained the Two-star Boundary Stone and became a Two-star Supremacy.

Obtaining a Two-star Boundary Stone and becoming a Two-star Supremacy had always been his greatest goal in the depths of his heart!

For a moment, Supremacy First Light seemed to have come to a realization. Perhaps even he himself did not realize that his actions were not for the First Light at all, but for himself.

“Perhaps you’re right. But Round Heart, I have no choice! Since you’re still unwilling to cooperate, I can only send you to your deaths!”

Supremacy First Light, who had suddenly “awakened”, appeared to have broken free from the shackles in his heart. He no longer had any reservations, and emitted a chilling killing intent.
