The Sword of Somplak
Sky Palace

After dispersing his officials, the Celestial Emperor seemed to rush into his residence. He asked some guards to guard his residence and forbade anyone to enter it. Furthermore, the Emperor sat in the lotus position and directly entered another dimension.

“Greetings, Your Highness,” said the Celestial Emperor as he knelt before a large man and a glowing face.

“I know all the things you want to say. Act calmly in response to the emergence of the ruler of the universe in the mortal realm,” reply someone asked for it.

“Good, Your Majesty,” timpal Emperor.

“It was over a hundred years when I was defeated by the Demon Lord, during that time anyway, I became the laughing stock of the demon race. Even the gods always make fun of me,” said someone who turned out to be the Sun God seemed so upset to recall his defeat.

“Your Majesty rest easy, I will strive to subdue the Universal Sovereign so that His Majesty can avenge the Demon Lord,” said the Celestial Emperor.

“Do not be stupid! We don't know how much power it has?” the Sun God.

The Celestial Emperor bowed listlessly to hear it, yet he was curious about the level of power of the sun god now. He asked, “Isn't His Majesty's strength now on par with the Demon Lord?”

The Sun God shook his head. Even though his current strength had greatly increased from the time he had been defeated by the Demon Lord, he still hesitated to compare his strength with that of the demon lord which he thought was hard to determine.

“When he (Demon Lord) transformed into his original form, I was like a child who had just learned to cultivate. Fortunately when my body was destroyed, Queen Kalandiva secretly saved my soul from extinction. Now, the appearance of the Universal Sovereign provides an opportunity for me to increase back my power.” The Sun God stared fixedly at the Celestial Emperor.

“What steps will we take now, Your Majesty?” ask the Celestial Emperor.

“We are in an unfortunate situation. The condition of the god realm is still not stable, we still have to be aware of the movements of the demon nation that continues to hunt for god realm cultivators. In my opinion, the best step at the moment is to monitor the situation and prepare yourself for the upcoming possibilities,” replied the Sun God weighing it, “one important thing for you to do, is, that is to find out the other truth of the ancient record that was owned by one of the palace officials. Return to the palace!”

“Good, Your Majesty,” the Jade Emperor's timpal instantly disappeared from his position.

The Celestial Emperor walked out of his residence and immediately stepped into the hall of the Heavenly Palace, then asked all his officials to gather to continue the discussion about the appearance of the Universal Sovereign. Even now there is a wife and two daughters who sit beside the throne.

After all the officials gathered in the palace hall, the Celestial Emperor asked a god to approach him. One of the gods with the appearance of an intelligent god, the God of Knowledge, walked in respectful steps and then turned to face the Celestial Emperor.

“The emergence of the Universal Ruler is closely related to ancient records. Explain everything that is in that note! We must quickly determine the step with a directed policy,”, said the Celestial Emperor asked the God of Knowledge.

“Good, Your Majesty, I will describe everything,” sahut God of Knowledge, “all contents of the ancient record have been observed carefully and with great precision. Of all that I know, there are some interesting things to convey to all of us, in particular, Your Majesty.”

The Celestial Emperor and everyone in the palace hall were growing more and more curious about the advance that the God of Knowledge was about to impart. They were so serious about accepting it that the atmosphere of the Sky Palace became silent for a moment.

The God of Knowledge smiled seeing everyone watching him seriously, he then continued.

“In carrying out his mission of reconstructing the universe and to strengthen the foundation of the universe's core, the Universal Sovereign must marry four women who possess an absolute energy core. The four are light energy, dark energy, life core, and death core,” he explained.

There was no shock reaction from everyone who heard his explanation. The God of Knowledge forced a smile and again said, “Dwelling on the genealogy of the Empress family who is the sister of the Great Goddess Nuwa, possibly one of the two daughters of His Majesty, has light energy or the essence of life. In the god realm, no more girls have that possibility apart from the two princesses.” 

The entire room became rowdy hearing the delivery of the God of Knowledge. They whispered to each other about the wives of the ruler of the universe. No different from the officials, the Celestial Emperor was jolted with the information he heard. He turned his head towards his two silent daughters not knowing how to behave with the information conveyed by the God of Knowledge.

“You are all only interested in the information that must still be sought for truth,” quipped the Emperor, “while I am more interested in the possibilities that we can use for the benefit of our nation, he said, especially in an effort to rebuild civilization that was suspended from death due to the impact of the destruction that occurred in the realm of gods.”

Everyone nodded in agreement with the thing that the Celestial Emperor had said.

“God of Knowledge, from the one you have mentioned, is there any other possibility related to the dark energy and the core of death?” ask the Celestial Emperor full of curiosity.

Engraved anxiously on the face of the god of knowledge, thinking of the answers of all he knew. He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly to calm himself.

“Actually this is easy to take into account, ..., the two absolute energy cores will fall on the demon nation, maybe one of them, but it is certain that the demon nation has a role in the creation of the foundation of the universe,” he explained.

A commotion again broke out in the hall of the Sky Palace, exceeding about the possibility of the two princesses one of whom would become the wife of the Universal Sovereign. The most interesting speculation about the wives of the Universal Rulers is that of imagining a princess with a demon in a single marriage.

The two princesses drooped limp on hearing the words spoken by the God of Knowledge. In fact, the Empress was so shocked to hear that she almost fainted. The Celestial Emperor ordered the maids to help the three.

The Celestial Emperor could slightly understand everything that the God of Knowledge conveyed. For him, this was a great opportunity to be able to conquer the Universal Ruler through his daughter who should not be wasted.

“This is an opportunity for us to restore the glory of the god nation as it was long ago,” said the Celestial Emperor full of wisdom.

Everyone smiled, understanding the intent of the Celestial Emperor's words so intelligently thinking about it.

“Dad, we both did not want to be the wives of the Universal Rulers who were so greedy to marry so many women. We as princesses of the palace will be steadfast in maintaining the honor and dignity of the Sky Empire. As you know, not a single young man in this god realm is worthy of being our husband. How could we possibly be willing to be mated with him? We hope, Dad can consider it!” one of the princesses expressed her opinion.

The Celestial Emperor nodded his head, understanding the intent his daughter was expressing. However, the benefit of the inhabitants of the god realm must be prioritized, so, he said, “Sure, I will not accept the children of Father combined by any man, either, but what has been outlined by destiny we cannot refuse.”

The god of knowledge laughed softly unable to endure it so all eyes glanced at him in surprise.

“What is Uncle God laughing at?” rebuke the princess with a sharp look.

Gaining everyone's gaze at the palace and the question from the princess, made the God of Knowledge have to force themselves to smile.

“I'm sorry, Princess. The ruler of the Universe was a very handsome young man. In fact, in the ancient records mentioned, not a single female good young girl to the oldest though would fall in love once saw it,” clear God of Knowledge, “not even surprised, , many women are willing to die just to be near her.”

Not flinching the two princesses heard it. For both of them, abstinence from chasing men, even though the man is very handsome and powerful. Beside the two, the Empress seemed to squint her eyes at the gesture of the God of Knowledge who she thought was hiding something.

“God of Knowledge, just reveal what has not been delivered!” the Empress asked for it.

“The Empress is very meticulous, I cannot hide anything from the Empress, ..., but alright, I will say,” the God of Knowledge replied looking at the Empress with a strange gaze, saying, “the young man has a long and large size like belonging to monster beast.”

After saying so, the God of Knowledge stepped back into his line.

“Long and large size! Like belonging to a monster beast?” lirih the empress was stunned thinking about it.
