Chapter 1181: Gift of the Worlds

Fang Yi, who was already skilled at using karmic power for his ultimate attack, saw the hall draped in radiant golden light formed from dense ropes of golden thread. At that moment, his sight was clearer than even Zhang Lie's.

As he followed the threads to their other end, he saw a glittering light illuminate the hall, like stardust.

The king of chaos explained, "Following these threads will allow you to find the remaining map fragments scattered across the three thousand worlds. Step forward, Nightdemon."

Nightdemon sighed as he stepped forward. The king of chaos commanded him, "I think you've had enough fun as a spectator. Command all the other clones to do their best to search for the map fragments. I've transmitted the coordinates to the fragments to all of you—I don't expect it'll be too difficult."

Nightdemon grumbled, "All you ever do is leave us with the menial errands!"

"Scram!" the king of chaos called out.

Nightdemon's white coat, stained by blood, slowly turned a dark-red color. The red of Nightdemon's coat deepened and darkened until it was almost black. Then, it flashed and opened wide, transforming into a pair of bat's wings.

The black wings wrapped around Nightdemon as he took to the sky. When they unfurled again, he had morphed into a gigantic bat with a brilliant white smile the shape of a crescent moon, as though he were mocking the entire world. A fiery-red eye widened, then split into three. Everyone nearby felt a deathly sense of fear.

The king of chaos recalled something.

"Right, I forgot. Tell the Black Pharaoh and the Faceless God to remain behind. There's something important I'll need them to do."

The black bat nodded, then flew out of the hall as it flapped its wings.

The king of chaos tossed Zhang Lie the map fragments in his hands. Zhang Lie hurriedly reached forward and grabbed them all before they scattered, his hands leaving afterimages through the air.

From a rough count, the king of chaos had over fifty thousand such fragments.

"If there's nothing else, king of chaos, I'll be leaving now. Once you gather all the map fragments, have Nightdemon bring it to the draconian world—he's familiar with the location, after all."

The king of chaos called out to Zhang Lie, "Hold on! Collecting the map fragments might be tedious, but my clones work quickly. Before they return, let's discuss a problem."

"What?"

The king of chaos continued, "Your previous wish."

Collecting the map fragments was his wish...?contemporary romance

"Unifying the three thousand worlds." The king of chaos reiterated Zhang Lie's original wish.

Zhang Lie hesitated.

The members of Team Zenith glanced at each other, nervous.

Neither the king of chaos nor the members of Team Zenith knew that Zhang Lie had no interest in unifying the three thousand worlds at all. He had never boasted such ambitions; rather, that had been the collective wish of Hong Tianqi and the members of Team Zenith.

When the king of chaos asked for his wish, it had come to mind—but only as a conversation starter. After all, the king of chaos was also a part of the three thousand worlds, and unifying the worlds would involve taking the king of chaos as subordinate.

The world of primordial chaos was counted among the three thousand worlds, and for Zhang Lie to control them all meant that he would also control the world of primordial chaos, and correspondingly also the halls of chaos and the king of chaos himself.

The king of chaos wanted to make Zhang Lie his subordinate, not to become Zhang Lie's subordinate. That would be too far-fetched.

The king of chaos, the strongest of the kings of the realm, would hardly deign to be someone else's subordinate.

Even though the world of primordial chaos was located in a high-dimensional space removed from the third realm, the high-dimensional space was connected to it and part of it in its own right.

It would be far too unrealistic for the king of chaos to agree to this wish of unification, and Zhang Lie had known that going in.

The reason he had done so was to agitate the king of chaos.

Collecting all the map fragments from among the three thousand worlds was a tedious and time-consuming task. If he had started with that wish, the king of chaos might not have agreed so readily, and might have even asked Zhang Lie questions that he didn't want to answer.

In contrast, by stating the wish immediately after one that could not be fulfilled, the king of chaos would agree to it much more readily. However, why was the king of chaos bringing up the original wish now?

The king of chaos continued, "Given your current abilities, it wouldn't be too difficult to unify the three thousand worlds, and there's no need to make a wish to accomplish it. You've taken down all the superior kings of antiquity, and the remaining three newly ascended superior kings are your companions. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to claim that you're only one step away from unifying the realm."

"You're not wrong."

"The only thing barring your way is me."

The guests understood what the king of chaos meant. "If the world of primordial chaos were to fall to Zhang Lie, he would have unified the realm..."

They were again shocked by Zhang Lie's feats. They knew that Zhang Lie had defeated all the superior kings of antiquity, but hearing it stated outright, and by the king of chaos, no less...

The king of chaos continued, "That was why you made such a wish, wasn't it?"

With the king of chaos' permission, Zhang Lie would have unified the realm.

Zhang Lie didn't respond. He looked toward the king of chaos silently, waiting for him to continue.

"Actually, I wouldn't mind fulfilling this wish, but it'll take more than a simple match to do so." The king of chaos raised three fingers. "For as major a wish as unifying the third realm, one match isn't enough. We'll have to do three, at least."

Zhang Lie's eyes widened.

"What?!" The members of Team Zenith were shocked stiff by the implication.

Zhang Lie asked, "Do you really intend to fulfill this wish? Could you construct another set of three thousand worlds?"

The king of chaos shook his head. "I am hardly omnipotent, and I have no such ability. Perhaps the king of keys could have done so, but you killed him and destroyed this possibility."

"In that case—"

The king of chaos continued, "I've simply lost interest in the three thousand worlds, and it makes no difference to me whether I hand them to you or not. Of course, this is predicated on your victory. If you lose, not only will you be unable to unify the realm, you'll also have to join the halls of chaos."
