Defying the Fate of Beheading

Chapter 168: The Emperor's Arrogance


Louis felt his eyebrows twitch wildly.

The Black Swan's maneuver was simply outrageous.

Although this was also related to her own extraordinary talent, the core of this maneuver focused on time deviation.

It should be known that even Louis, to ensure he could maintain corresponding combat power at different levels, would devote at least a quarter of his training time to learning.

This is under the precondition that he has the greedy thirst for knowledge as a blessing.

In the state of being greedy for knowledge, Louis's learning speed far surpasses that of ordinary geniuses.

Now he's no longer a novice and has some understanding of the speed at which normal professionals learn weapons and skills.

Most ordinary professionals don't break through the threshold of the hero rank in their lifetime.

This is partly due to the disparity in resources, but more so because advancing one's profession level is inherently challenging.

There are plenty of ordinary people in this world, over fifty years old, whose profession level hasn't exceeded LV2.

The monsters that pose threats to humans also include low-level monsters like LV1 slimes.

The Black Swan looked at Louis and said:

"So what's your deal? I'm sure you're definitely not the Prince of Enchantment I knew."

Louis pondered for a moment.

The two happened to share a secret, and didn't mind exchanging some insights.

However, he planned to conceal some key matters.

So he said:

"Do you have any understanding of the Outer Worlds?"

The Black Swan rolled her eyes and said, "Having no acquaintance is just like you."

Louis wasn't angered, merely said calmly:

"Then you should know that in this world, there isn't just a primary material world like the Star Continent, but other worlds with entirely different ecosystems as well."

"I'm a traveler from another world. For some reasons I can't quite figure out, after a heavy rain, I descended onto this body."

He concealed the fact that he transmigrated before reincarnating.

After all, even he couldn't explain it clearly.

Of course, he also kept the future diary, his trump card, a secret.

He attributed all changes after his rebirth to not being "the original person."

Olivia nodded:

"I can understand that, seeing as so many of your actions differ greatly from the Louis I knew."

"Initially, I thought you were a reincarnator like me, but after observing for a while, something felt off."

She paused and said, "Did you... eat him (the original one)?"

Louis's mouth twitched slightly:

"Can you not use such strange terms, what do you mean I ate him, that's the effect of the Sin of Greed."

The Black Swan snorted and said, "No wonder there's always been something odd about your life form."

With that, both of them delved deeper into exchanging the information they held.

The Black Swan informed Louis of what she knew about the future.

Louis pondered for a moment and posed a few questions he was very concerned about:

In the predetermined future, what exactly happened to lead to Beatrice's death, the Little Swan's escape, and the original person being sent to the guillotine.

After all, the deterioration of the Ense Empire was too swift.

This didn't align with Louis's understanding of the Ense Empire.

So he sought answers from the Black Swan.

The Black Swan shook her head and said:

"I'm not quite sure about that either, but judging by the outcome, it seems father was the problem."

Louis gasped.

If that's the case, it would make sense.

What kind of situation would cause the Ense Empire to fall into dire straits instantly?

It's simple, the Empire's Guardian God is gone.

"It shouldn't be. From what I know of Emperor Lao Deng's strength, is there really anyone on the continent who could target him?"

Olivia snorted and said:

"Although I don't know what you mean by Old Deng, it doesn't sound like anything good."

Louis coughed and said:

"It's a term from my hometown."

Olivia shook her head and said:

"Father might not be dead. Like you said, there really aren't many on the continent who could threaten him, and I'm skeptical that anyone can actually defeat him."

"But that doesn't mean there's no way to affect him."

"The simplest example is just to prevent him from taking action on the continent."

Louis frowned and said:

"What do you mean?"

"Haven't you already been to the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm?" Olivia said calmly, "Did you see that Black Sun there?"

Louis nodded.

Beatrice had told him that it was the Emperor's avatar.

"Sister Wang didn't understand the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm well. It wasn't a coincidence back then that the realm chose to replicate father."

Olivia revealed a cold and cruel truth:

"It is indeed possible for shadows in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm to replace people in reality."

"At that time, some beings unknown plotted to create a shadow of father in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm."

"Then they wanted to find a way for the shadow to replace father, to make the Black Sun rise in the primary material realm, spreading death."

"They just didn't expect father to swallow the Black Sun in return, turning it into his agent in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm."

"As for when exactly, I was too young to know at the time, only remember father and mother being very busy for a while."

"That 'she' in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm... should have been born around then too."

Louis drew a sharp breath.

He understood the hidden meaning in the Black Swan's words.

Previously, he and the Little Swan had analyzed and were basically certain that the time when the mother-in-law in the Fallen Shadow Nether Realm came to be was not long before the real Princess Consort Diana died.
