Beginning Of Multiverse Saga-Chapter 438: Emperor Vrishaketu

The voice suddenly erupted into a strange laugh and exclaimed, "Hahaha, I didn’t expect that after so many years, the Gandiva Bow that almost completely wiped out the Golden Crow race would start being treated as a family heirloom by the Golden Crow race’s descendants!"

The Fiend Emperor and Golden Crow Crown Prince were both furious, exclaiming, "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

The voice said, "Since you could all come to this place, that must mean you’ve passed Suparnagiri Mountain, right? How did you two feel then?"

The Golden Crow Crown Prince’s heart began to race. Back then, he had felt extremely uncomfortable for some reason. Even his father had felt the same.

Otherwise, there would have been no reason for the Fiend Emperor to be so careful at all; furthermore, he wouldn’t have had to make Sharky’s group scout out the way, letting them escape in the process.

Of course, the crown prince was an outstanding individual from the younger generation. After his prior alarm, he had gradually calmed down. He didn’t let those thoughts show on his face.

The Fiend Emperor nodded inwardly as he watched his son. This youngster didn’t waste all of my meticulous upbringing after all. He hasn’t disappointed me.

Even though they didn’t answer, the voice didn’t seem to mind and said considerately, "Even if you two don’t say anything, I can more or less guess. The reason why Suparnagiri Mountain is called Suparnagiri Mountain is because your Golden Crow Ancestor was killed by the Gandiva Bow. It was formed from their corpses."

Even the Fiend Emperor’s expression changed when he heard that. Combined with the strange feeling coming from Suparnagiri Mountain, he was already largely convinced. He asked, "Just what happened?"

"Heh, you’re finally willing to listen to me now, hm?" the voice replied with a chuckle. It continued, "It’s already been too long, so I’ve lost my perception of time. It might have been thousands of years ago... No, tens of thousands, or perhaps hundreds of thousands of years...

Back then, there was a god named Surya, the God of Sun. Due to the heat of the sun, except for Surya, no one can reside there."

"Seeing that, he does Tapasya to Lord Brahma, and following the creation of the first seven Golden Crows appear, which can easily bear the heat of the Sun."

"Those seven Golden Crows were the first Golden Crows in the world."

The Fiend Emperor and Golden Crow Crown Prince both saw the shock in each other’s eyes. The Fiend Emperor quickly said, "Hmph, a load of nonsense. Our clan has no such records."

"It’s already been too long, so many things have already been lost. It’s unsurprising that you don’t know about it," the voice continued. "The Golden Crows always reside on the tree in the Sun. They didn’t interfere in any matter."

"But in a battle called Mahabharat, they appeared on the Earth. Since, they always reside on the Sun. They have also got power like the sun. That simply made the common people suffer. In their eyes, it was as if seven suns shone overhead at the same time. The earth dried up, and the people had no way to make a living."

"Then, an outstanding hero called Arjuna appeared among the humans. And with his Bow Gandiva, he used it to shoot down six of the Golden Crows. Back then, the bloodied corpses from those Golden Crows fell on the Suparnagiri Hill and formed a great mountain, which is the Suparnagiri Mountain we now know. The last Golden Crow remained, though. He obediently went back to the Sun, and resided there."

Wendy was stupefied when he heard the story. The Golden Crow royal family normally always acted so cocky, he had never expected them to have such a miserable past.

Furthermore, they had been killed off by the very same Gandiva Bow they were so immensely proud of!

The Fiend Emperor’s expression changed several times. He harrumphed and said, "What an interesting story. Unfortunately, I do not believe it."

The voice said in amusement, "You say you don’t, but whether or not you really believe it, you understand yourself best."

The Fiend Emperor replied with a frown, "You did not call us all the way here just to tell us this nonsensical story, did you?"

"Do you know who I am?" the voice said with a sigh.

"You have deliberately obscured your identity for so long. Who knows what you are?" the Fiend Emperor snapped, his voice turning a bit cold. "My patience is limited." With his cultivation and status, who else would dare to pretend to be mysterious in front of him like that?

"I already said that the Sun was the residing place of God Surya. And God Surya has many sons. And one of his sons was my father. Putting all of that together, your Golden Crow Ancestor is one sense friend of my father, and in childhood, I simply called them uncle. That’s why I said I could be considered your ancestor," the voice replied.

The Fiend Emperor and the Golden Crow Crown Prince were speechless.

Meanwhile, Wendy’s mouth hung wide open. There was actually something so incredible in this tomb?

The Fiend Emperor took in a deep breath before saying, "If you were only trying to take advantage of us, I can only say that you have already successfully angered me."

"I apologize, but after being sealed up here for so long, I’ve finally managed to find someone to converse with. I can’t help but become a bit long-winded," the voice replied.

It chuckled a few times and said, "Back then, my grandfather was a Dev. And my father has so much power that no one can defeat him.

However, a certain individual had rapacious designs, they didn’t have the honour of warriors. First they used deception take away the divine armor of my father. And they killed my father by deception and fraud. They also killed many of my brothers, while I was only able to see it, but can’t do anything."

The Fiend Emperor sneered, saying, "I thought you were someone, so I patiently listened to what you had to say. However, it turns out you were just trash who can only see his family getting killed by someone, but can’t do anything."

"Judging from my observations, it doesn’t seem as if you have much of your life left," the voice suddenly said with a sneer. The Fiend Emperor’s expression changed, but the voice continued, "Are you not curious at all to know how I was able to live for so long?"

Wendy was completely stupefied. He had thought that what was in the tomb was an ancient zombie, but judging from what he was saying, he seemed to still be alive! How was that possible?

Ever since ancient times, living past a thousand years had always been extremely difficult. Usually, that could only be achieved through certain races’ special talents. Meanwhile, the human race’s lifespan was far shorter than that.

Just how many tens of thousands of years had the tomb existed? And yet, the person inside was actually still alive? That completely defied the logic of the cultivation world! If news of that got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

He was even starting to become a bit excited. Didn’t this mean a tremendous opportunity for him? If he could obtain eternal life... Just the thought of that alone already made it hard for him to contain his excitement.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince’s expression changed greatly. He was still young, so he still had a lot of his life left. For him, eternal life wasn’t all that pressing an issue.

On the other hand, if his father really did obtain eternal life, wouldn’t that mean he would remain the crown prince for the rest of his life?

The Fiend Emperor position that had nearly been at hand was about to disappear... just how painful of a realization was that?

In contrast, the Fiend Emperor’s eyes burned with desire. He hurriedly asked, "Why were you able to live for so long?" However, he wasn’t an ordinary person. He quickly forced himself to calm down and ask, "What do you want?"

"You’re an intelligent person, as expected," the voice replied with a chuckle. "So, just patiently listen to what I have to say first."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince quickly advised the Fiend Emperor, "Father emperor, you need to be careful. This person might have some kind of trap set up to try to keep us here! In my opinion, we should look around elsewhere so Sharky’s group does not gain the upper hand on us."

The Fiend Emperor hesitated when he heard that. That youngster Sharky had too many secrets around him. In so many years, that kid was the first one he couldn’t see through. Sharky could actually end up obtaining some opportunity before him!

Just then, the voice remarked mockingly, "It looks as if this son of yours doesn’t want you to gain eternal life... But that’s to be expected. This kind of thing is all too common among royal families."

The Fiend Emperor’s expression immediately grew sharp. He stared directly at the Golden Crow Crown Prince.

In truth, he sensed that the voice was trying to sow dissent. At his age, however, he cared too much about eternal life. Those who cared too much about something would often become somewhat ignorant and blind.

The Golden Crow Crown Prince quickly explained, "Father emperor, do not listen to his nonsense! I would not dare to have such thoughts."

The Fiend Emperor harrumphed. "We will listen to what he has to say before we make any decisions."

After what had just happened, the Golden Crow Crown Prince didn’t dare to say anything else. Inwardly, however, he was already cursing endlessly at this ’ancient ancestor’ of theirs.

"That’s more like it," the voice in the tomb said with a laugh. It added, "After speaking for so long, I still don’t know your names, though."

The Fiend Emperor frowned. There were some sinister skills that allowed one to do terrible things to another through knowing their name. However, such methods usually required a hair or fingernail too. As long as he took care of those things, he didn’t have to worry. He replied, "You can call me the Fiend Emperor."

The Golden Crow Crown Prince said, "I am the Golden Crow Crown Prince."

Wendy began, "I am..."

Before they even finished their sentences, the one in the tomb cut them off. "You all speak so boldly, and yet you don’t even have names and are instead just called by your titles."

Wendy opened and closed his mouth a few times. He felt really depressed. It was as if the voice didn’t even consider him a person.

The Fiend Emperor said coldly, "This is what our race has always been like. Only those of the noblest status have the right to use their titles in place of their names."

"Fine, whatever you say," the voice said, seemingly with a hint of disdain. However, it didn’t press the issue, and instead declared, "I am Vrishaketu! My title is Emperor Vrishaketu!" His declaration almost seemed to be accompanied by an austere air.

The Fiend Emperor remarked with a hint of contempt, "Emperor? Even if you are Emperor, you can’t be able to help your family. Can even someone like you use that title?"

The voice was speechless. Then, it let out a long sigh and replied, "What you said is right. I am indeed trash, hahaha~"
