'Darryl, first you trespassed into the Godly Region, then you stuck your nose in our affairs, releasing all the demons in captivity. He even went as far as conquering the Imperial Sky Palace. Damn it! I could have finished him off at that instance. Why did you have to interfere, Master of the Ancient Ancestors! You even went as far as to defend him and give him the title of the Nine Heaven Sage…' the Nine Heaven Emperor thought with resentment.
'Now that Darryl has returned to The Nine Mainland, he has been restlessly messing with Rogart's work. Does he not know that Rogart operates in accordance with my orders? Messing with him means messing with me. Unless, this guy actually underestimates me!' the Emperor thought and grew impatient.
The Nine Heaven Emperor snapped out from his musings and said, "He only got lucky that time. It's not like having the Nine Heaven Sage title grants him higher authority. It's way more pretentious than it is practical. About the matter in The Nine Mainland, just follow your own plan and ignore all the nonsense Darryl throws at you. Understood?"
As the Emperor finished speaking, there was not the slightest bit of emotion on his face.
Rogart let out a deep breath. "I understand, Your Majesty."
After receiving reassurance from the Emperor, Rogart regained his smile. All the burdens he once shouldered have been significantly alleviated and immediately his body felt much lighter.
The reason why he had returned was to ask about Darryl. He couldn't wrap his head around how a normal human like Darryl was crowned with such a title and deserved the respect he was showered with.
After dissecting and processing the Emperor's words, Rogart finally caught on to what the Emperor was feeling. The Nine Heaven Emperor was not just a simple dislike for Darryl; his hatred for Darryl was deeply-rooted.
As the pieces came together, Rogart slowly regained his confidence. Then, he had a sudden thought and hesitated as he asked, "Your Majesty, what if there is opposition to my plan? What shall I do?"
"Just do what you see fit. I'm confident in your abilities," the Nine Heaven Emperor encouraged.
"Oh yeah, while you're at it, investigate Xuan Yuan. Apparently, he has had quite a few sinful accusations brought to the grave with him. I heard that his subordinates were trying to keep things from seeing the light of day," said the Nine Heaven Emperor.
"Xuan Yuan? Sinned?" Rogart was shocked.
