God of Pets Chapter 1001: Sorry for the Misunderstanding
Previously on God of Pets...
Emperor Ancestor smiled faintly, "You don't believe me?"
"No, I believe you," Chen Guan said.
"My life's wish was to unify the world, and now that it is fulfilled, the affairs of this world hold no further relevance to me. If you can't wait, you may take control of the world and the Great Qin Iron Cavalry now, but the Celestial Secret Realm isn't stabilized yet, and you need to oversee it," Emperor Ancestor remarked calmly to Chen Guan.
Emperor Ancestor thought that Chen Guan didn't want to be subordinate, and he himself didn't wish to meddle in worldly affairs any longer, so passing the throne to Chen Guan was feasible.
Emperor Ancestor created the Secret Technique of One, and he understood its terrifying power better than anyone. Even if the Qin Family still had descendants, he could only pass the throne to Chen Guan, who had mastered this Secret Technique; otherwise, if Chen Guan was unwilling, no one could take his place.
Others saw this as a good thing. Duan Shulin, Bai Xiuyan, and others were happy for Chen Guan, as he was now truly becoming the Lord of Three Clans.
However, Chen Guan's face showed no happiness, as he looked at Emperor Ancestor and said calmly, "Emperor Ancestor, your life's wish is to unify the world, but that is not my life's ambition."
Emperor Ancestor's smile gradually faded as he looked at Chen Guan and asked, "Then what is your life's ambition?"
"To continuously grow stronger, to become unique," Chen Guan said calmly.
"So, you want to follow the path that the Netherworld Emperor spoke of?" Emperor Ancestor asked.
"Yes," Chen Guan replied affirmatively.
"You want to take that step at the cost of the entire universe?" Emperor Ancestor asked again.
"Yes," Chen Guan's answer rendered everyone's expression distasteful.
"Chen Guan... you're not that kind of person... If you have any troubles, you can tell us..., we can solve them together," Qin Ziyu said.
"Old Chen, could you have been mesmerized by the Netherworld Emperor?" Duan Shulin exclaimed.
"If you take that step, everyone will perish, including your relatives and friends," Emperor Ancestor watched Chen Guan with interest and continued asking.
"To achieve success, sacrifices must be made. Some sacrifices are worthwhile," Chen Guan's words made everyone's faces unsightly.
"I have long said, Chen Guan is not a good person, and yet you didn't believe it," someone from the Shang Family shouted.
"Chen Guan, you're too arrogant. With Emperor Ancestor there, you won't stir up any trouble."
"Old Chen, have you gone mad?"
Chen Guan ignored everyone's words and said indifferently, "Did you forget the Ghost Daoist's prophecy? You should have realized long ago that I am the Demon Child, the son of Great Demon Qing Bai."
"I know you are the Great Demon's son, but you are definitely not the Demon Child," Qin Ziyu said firmly.
Chen Guan looked at Qin Ziyu and others, revealing a sinister smile, "Sorry, maybe I misled you. To pursue higher levels and a stronger self, I can forsake everything. Besides becoming stronger, everything else is meaningless to me."
After speaking, Chen Guan no longer paid attention to anyone.
"Brother Guan..." Qinghua called softly, yet Chen Guan didn't even glance back at her.
"Interesting, you are the most intriguing person I have encountered in my life," Emperor Ancestor wasn't displeased by Chen Guan's actions; instead, his eyes revealed appreciation.
"The step you wish to take, I once considered too, but I couldn't let go—not others, but myself. This is the empire I built; the world I rule, without them, my existence loses meaning."
Emperor Ancestor looked at Chen Guan, his gaze becoming intense, "Originally, I thought my life's meaning ended here. Now with you, I have found my life's new significance. If you fail, I won't kill you, but you must promise to become this world's Guardian."
"Emperor Ancestor, I'm sorry, but I can't give you the same promise, because only if you die can I take that step," Chen Guan opened the Secret Realm's aura, which only circled his head and did not encompass his whole body like others.
"Emperor Ancestor, my Secret Technique of One is derived from you. This is the grace of mentorship; I allow you three moves," Chen Guan looked at Emperor Ancestor and said.
"Mad... mad... Chen Guan must have been hit with some insanity technique..." Duan Shulin was dumbfounded and utterly couldn't believe this was the Chen Guan he knew.
Someone started cursing, "What do you think you are, daring to behave arrogantly in front of Emperor Ancestor?"
Qinghua's face was pale, devoid of any color, biting her lip, unable to utter a word.
Emperor Ancestor merely smiled and said, "Fine, have it your way."
Emperor Ancestor raised his right hand and struck a palm toward Chen Guan.
No one understood the Secret Technique of One better than Emperor Ancestor; naturally, no one knew better how to counter it.
The Secret Technique of One devours the world, becoming one with it; its foundation is exceedingly profound, so ordinary people could never match someone who has mastered it.
However, Emperor Ancestor is different; he has also reached the mastery level of the Secret Technique of One and has absorbed the original energies of the Spirit Devouring God and the Netherworld Emperor.
At this moment, Emperor Ancestor is equivalent to the child of the universe, or even not exaggerating to say its ruler.
Not only can his foundation compete with Chen Guan, but he can also possess the power of the entire universe.
If the Netherworld Emperor and Spirit Devouring God are merely partial universe-level powerhouses, then Emperor Ancestor is the true universal level.
This palm may seem ordinary but carries the power of the entire universe, aiming to directly suppress Chen Guan, to curb his arrogance.
But it's only suppression; Emperor Ancestor does not want to kill Chen Guan.
The myriad laws of the universe press heavily on Chen Guan under this palm, lighting up the entire starry sky.
Countless starlights illuminated Chen Guan like spotlights, layers of laws intertwining and binding him.
Yet, such terrifying power didn't shake Chen Guan even slightly, nor did it prompt him to act.
The terrifying cosmic force, upon nearing Chen Guan, was absorbed into the Secret Realm's aura; no matter how much cosmic power, it had no effect on Chen Guan whatsoever.
Emperor Ancestor's eyes narrowed slightly; he realized Chen Guan's uniqueness and appeared even more delighted, "Good, good, good, having studied the Secret Technique of One, you excel beyond the master, deserving to be my Inheritor."
Emperor Ancestor's aura surged, the Secret Realm's aura emerged, and simultaneously, the True Dragon Secret Collection followed.
"One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things, this is the root of the Secret Technique of One; I am the one between heaven and earth, all things born from me, hence my realm is the Realm of One," Emperor Ancestor recounted his understanding of practicing the Secret Technique of One.
"If I had listened to Emperor Ancestor's teachings earlier, I wouldn't have taken so many detours," Chen Guan's mind wavered and he praised.
"The greatest meaning of life lies in those detours. Only by taking detours can one see different landscapes," Emperor Ancestor's aura roared, the true dragon flew toward Chen Guan amidst Emperor Ancestor's voice, "My first Secret Collection... Primordial Dragon of One..."
When the True Dragon Secret Collection flew toward Chen Guan, it became one and turned to two, two turned to three, transforming into the infinite as if all the universe's laws became the true dragon's body, devouring toward Chen Guan.
This strike, births everything, breaks all laws, capable of shaking the universe's foundations.
