Chapter 663 - Celestial Alliance

Considering everything that was said, the tree spirit claiming to be a G.o.d-Emperor back in the primordial era was incorrect.

After all, awakening the G.o.d-Emperor"s Divine Soul fragment did not equate to becoming the G.o.d-Emperor himself.

G.o.d knows how many individuals also possess a Divine Soul fragment of the same G.o.d-Emperor.

"Senior does not need to be dispirited about this. Even trees have their own path to greatness. Perhaps, Senior can use the G.o.d-Emperor"s knowledge to transcend beyond the World-level and become an Empyrean Tree," Leon consoled.

Nevertheless, the tree spirit sighed, "Haiz, no need to say any further. Even if this Saint can become an Empyrean Tree, this Saint cannot leave this planet."

"The world has been sealed by a Celestial Conqueror. Forget about Celestial Warriors. Even Celestial Lords and Celestial Kings may not be able to escape this sealed world, let alone an Empyrean Tree. This Saint"s fate is ultimately tied with Celestial Earthshaker in guarding the Dimension Crack."

Celestial Warrior, Celestial Lord, Celestial King, Celestial Emperor, and Celestial Conqueror.

Leon pieced together the names before a general outline of the Celestial Realm was formed in his mind.

However, these names were most likely only t.i.tles.

He had no idea what the actual cultivation path and terms for the stages within the Celestial Realm.

Shortly after, Leon said, "But if the situation is eventually resolved, then Senior will no longer be tied down to this place. So wouldn"t it be better to start planning the future?"

"Haiz, you don"t know anything, do you?" the tree spirit gave Leon a side glance before it said, "Even if the Dimension Crack is resolved, this Saint will still be tied here. Why do you think this Saint guards the Dimension Crack, and why was the world sealed?"

Leon furrowed his brows slightly.

He thought the goal was to protect the world, but that does not seem to be the case when he considered how the tree spirit was speaking.

Suddenly, Leon"s eyes flickered before he said, "Senior and the Celestials are preventing something from leaving this world? And the destruction of the world unleashes it?"

"That"s right." The tree spirit nodded before praising Leon, "You"re quite bright to have figured that out so quickly from just a few words of this Saint."

Shortly after, Leon thought back to the great battle the tree spirit mentioned that nearly destroyed the world and caused the Celestial Conqueror to seal the world.

"According to the history that this junior knows, a prosperous civilization called the Nova Empire existed 10-thousand years ago. However, they were short-lived due to the Cataclysm that erupted from the sun," Leon mentioned.

"All events after that point in history have disappeared into obscurity like they have been erased. As a result, the current world"s recorded history only dates back no further than several hundred years to a thousand years at most."

"Did the great battle occurred after the Nova Empire"s end? Where did so many Celestial come from? And who were they fighting, Senior?" Leon asked shortly after.

The tree spirit"s lips twitched slightly.

It was quite accommodating and answered all of Leon"s questions patiently. But no matter how many questions it answered, Leon always seems to have an endless number of questions to ask.

Nevertheless, Leon had been very polite and respectful and coupled with the fact that the tree spirit rarely talked to anyone in the past several thousand years, it could only endure it silently.

"Haiz…" the tree spirit sighed again before inquiring calmly, "You must be talking about the sun"s solar flare when you mentioned the Cataclysm, right?"

"Yes, Senior," Leon admitted.

"That"s not an ordinary solar flare but the breaking of a seal. The primordial war wiped out both G.o.ds and Devils, but some Devils can never truly be dead—thanks to their unique law, they can eventually revive themselves."

"As such, the demons and devils can never be truly wiped out. An ancestor of humans in the past sealed one of the Great Devils in the sun while the lesser ones were sealed on this planet in the past," as the tree spirit spoke to this point, its expression suddenly turned solemn.

"However, the event you called Cataclysm broke one of the seal layers on the sun, but it also broke some of the seals on this planet, releasing the lesser devils and demons on it. The entire Vandelheim Star Realm we are situated in is a prison world for demons."

"The Celestial Alliance had been keeping watch over our prison world. When the seal broke, they immediately sent their experts over to quell the demon"s uprising—well, that"s what this Saint heard from Celestial Earthshaker, anyway. What does this Saint actually know? This Saint is just a d.a.m.n tree, trapped in the center of the world," the tree spirit said snappishly.

Leon smiled wryly.

It was evident that ever since the tree spirit awakened its Divine Soul, it had truly taken itself as the G.o.d-Emperor and despised what it was.

Nevertheless, after hearing another unfamiliar term, Leon could not help but ask, "What is this Celestial Alliance, Senior?"

"You… Haiz, how many more questions do you still have?" the tree spirit asked, feeling a bit exasperated while gazing at the young man.

Leon scratched his cheeks awkwardly at the stare before he said, "This is the last one… probably."

"The Celestial Alliance is a local power in the starry skies that comprises of 12 Star Realms, and the Celestial Conqueror is the leader of the Celestial Alliance," the tree spirit explained before asking, "Anything else?"

"That"s all. Thank you, Senior," Leon said wryly.

Shortly after, Leon"s expression became more serious before he requested, "Can I trouble Senior to put in a few words with the stone gol—Ahem, Senior Gaialia, so she doesn"t blow this junior away?"

"Not a problem," the tree spirit agreed easily before asking with curiosity, "But what do you intend to do?"

"Since this junior was broke here by chance or fate, this junior wants to take a look at the Dimension Crack and see how junior can help," Leon stated his intention.

However, the tree spirit furrowed his brows slightly before warning, "Taking a look is fine, but don"t think about entering the Chaos Sea. Your very existence will be reduced into nothingness."

"Of course, Senior," Leon replied obediently, but his eyes flickered.
