"Just like the Order Bureau brought your body out, did I really directly influence their will? Not really, I just gave a little suggestion, and besides, bringing your body out for a transaction is logically sound."

Leviathan raised his hand and gently pushed forward, "Many times, all you need to do is just this."

Xilin remained silent, closely following behind Leviathan.

From beginning to end, he could not see through this Devil.

"Mammon is a suspicious fellow. Though he’s not clear about my purpose, he thinks that just being able to hinder me is enough, so he will certainly come to interfere with me. As for Gray, he’s even easier to predict."

Leviathan spoke of that unfortunate man.

"Gray, a man deeply influenced by knightly spirit and ancient honor, always thought himself righteous... If he knew the whole truth, what would he do?"

Leviathan chuckled, "You see, Gray’s actions are also quite predictable, aren’t they?"

"But all these choices lie with others," Xilin said, "You’re counting on the fickle nature of humanity? You’re gambling."

Leviathan almost burst into laughter, "I like placing bets on the fickle nature of humanity. Don’t you find it intriguing? The feeling of triumph is also greatly gratifying."

"Just like you, Xilin."

Leviathan suddenly turned the spearhead towards Xilin himself, continuing, "Beelzebub controlled the Kagader Royal Family and indirectly controlled the vast King’s Secret Swords. Not to mention, the Astros Sect is directly controlled by her... She’s a troublesome opponent, and dealing with her will consume a lot of my energy, possibly even affecting my goals."

"So I choose to help you, Xilin, help you reclaim your body, and what you need to do is very simple—break back into the Pillar of Royal Authority and reclaim the throne you deserve."

Leviathan’s voice turned sinister, the diving suit beneath pregnant with the burgeoning dark madness.

"You won’t reject me using you, will you? You’ll willingly be used by me, won’t you?"

Xilin’s face was taut like a drawn crossbow, rage suppressed but ultimately not released. 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

Indeed, as long as Xilin still harbored anger, he was destined to kill his way back to the Pillar of Royal Authority. To reclaim the crown, he must kill the original sealed King... Along with the Devil behind him, the King’s Secret Sword, the Astros Sect, all who attempt to hinder Xilin will be crushed by him.

And these are also Leviathan’s enemies.

"See, humanity is quite trustworthy," Leviathan laughed hoarsely, "You want to resist me? The method is simple—find somewhere to live out your life peacefully. But can you really endure that?"

"What do you really want?"

Xilin felt a wave of pain, the pain of being bound, "Leviathan, you’ve done so much, manipulated so many people, what do you really want to achieve?"

Leviathan didn’t immediately answer, instead beckoning Xilin to an open-air cinema, lounging on a recliner, gazing at the starry dome scattered with fragments above.

"Xilin, have you heard of spacesuits?" Leviathan suddenly asked.

"What are those?"

"A kind of clothing for humans conducting deep space exploration, to protect themselves... just like what I am wearing now."

Leviathan tapped on his helmet, muttering under his breath, "This is no strange diving suit, it’s a spacesuit, one of its kind in the world."

Xilin didn’t understand what Leviathan was talking about.

"We are now in deep space, a deadly land where we face challenges like oxygen, pressure, radiation, and this suit can protect us to survive in this extremity."

Leviathan continued, "Do you want to experience the sensation of being truly deep in space? Here is my domain, protected by me, and once I lift this protection, you’ll be completely exposed in deep space.

Low temperature will freeze your body, pressure will crush your insides, your lungs will explode into bloody mashes, you may even be pierced by high-speed dust and high-dose radiation."

Xilin said nothing; he could not comprehend Leviathan’s words, and Leviathan understood this point, his voice carried a hint of disappointment.

"Alright, I don’t blame you, after all, in this world, humans haven’t even built rockets, let alone explore deep space. This knowledge is more precious than gold..."

"Is this knowledge about the stars?" Xilin gradually understood what Leviathan was suggesting.

"Yes, I like the stars very much. I often gaze up at it all, and to understand the essence of the stars, I’ve even executed some crazy plans..."

Leviathan’s tone shifted, he asked Xilin again, "Xilin, do you know the vastness of the stars, the universe?"

Xilin shook his head, he seldom looked at the starry sky, not even considered what lies above the clouds. Many people are like this.

Leviathan raised his hand, moon dust surged, forming spherical bodies of varying sizes in his palm, they floated and arranged themselves in a ring.

"This is a miniature of the galaxy we are in, the one in the middle is the blazing sun illuminating everything, and this one is the planet we’re on."

Leviathan explained like a teacher to Xilin, "From the core to the edge, there is a distance of over six billion kilometers, Xilin can you grasp the concept of this scale?"

Xilin paused, his brain couldn’t process such immense numeric concepts, for Xilin and most people of this world, before the starry sky, they were merely primitives with sight focused on the earth.

"Systems like our solar system are encapsulated in an even larger system, in this system, there are at least several hundred billion systems like our solar system, and above this system, there’s an even larger system... larger, more boundless..."

As Leviathan spoke, his voice weakened, as if plunged into a small despair birthed by the grand vastness of the world.

Xilin was also stunned, unable to intuitively grasp these words, but from the stark numbers, Xilin could feel the same shock.

This was still not enough.

Leviathan suddenly got up, clutched Xilin’s head, and in an instant, Xilin’s sight plunged into darkness, within the absolute darkness, he saw a twinkling dot, then the dot spread like a virus, the dense specks almost engulfed everything.

Hundreds of millions of light gathered together, forming silky drifting halos, and there were thousands upon thousands of such halos, they flash rapidly, pulling, in the frenzied vista, Xilin couldn’t help but scream, along with his screams rose the change in his view.

Everything became tremendously small, everything became tremendously large.

Boundlessness of boundlessness.

The grey-white vista came back into view, Xilin stood there in a stupor, sweat soaking his collar, his mind blank, void of thoughts.

Under the grand landscape, Xilin surprisingly felt a sense of void and depression. The emotion flickered in and out.

"Every speck is a world like ours."

Leviathan’s voice rose slowly, imbued with delight, "Xilin, this world is so vast. Don’t you want to see what’s at the end?"

When mentioning these, this Devil was reverent like a scholar enamored by knowledge.

"Xilin Kagader."

Devil’s voice turned solemn, raising his head, eyes brimming with tears, gazing at the splendid canopy.

"Look, compared to this immense vastness, we are so insignificant, our hatred, our honor, even our existence or annihilation become meaningless."

Silence lingered for some time, and then a powerful voice resounded.

"I once dreamed of being an astronaut, but now I am trapped on this land."

The Devil’s words were filled with desire, uncontrollable desire.

"I want to end this aimless strife; I want to become the one true King of Demons."

Then, the Devil, like a child, gazed up at the starry sky.
