The Central Celestial Emperor then continued:
"The reason I am here is to personally persuade you to reunite with your past self from Xuandu. In this way, Taiqing's grand scheme will be thwarted—this is also why I made the costly effort to project here."
"Impossible!"
The ancient being emitted a deep sound, its gaze blazing like a fierce fire, glaring:
"I have waited eons, plotted eons, and finally succeeded in severing my past self. From then on, I am no longer a disciple of Taiqing... and you want me to turn back?"
"You want my myriad ancient plans to go up in smoke in a single day?"
It fixed its eyes on the upstream being:
"Even if you are the true Celestial Emperor, it is absolutely impossible."
The Celestial Emperor's expression remained unchanged, merely gazing at the ancient being and shaking his head slightly:
"A heart demon has formed within you... have you thought about where this heart demon comes from?"
