Chương 142: Projection of the Heavenly Emperor

"Is it not delightful to have friends coming from afar?" The War Emperor's projection looked at Richard.

Shuxiang and Ermao also looked at him curiously.

No one has been to this place for a long time; it's just the three of them together most of the time.

It's rare to see anyone come.

"It's you, you greedy little kitten." Xiao Yao looked at Er Mao as soon as she came in with Richard.

She vividly remembered the cat who had designs on her.

"Xiao Yao, this isn't the real Cang Mao; it's a projection of Cang Mao," Richard warned.

"Oh." Xiao Yao walked towards Er Mao and reached out to stroke its fur.

It's quite comfortable.

Zhan Tiandi and Shuxiang did not stop her from getting close to Ermao.

"Do you have anything good to eat?" Er Mao asked, seemingly unfazed by her approach.

It's obvious that both cats are greedy.

"Is this delicious? Do you like it? That greedy cat really likes it." Xiao Yao thought for a moment and took out some River of Life for the two cats.

The clear river water, brimming with life, immediately caught Er Mao's eye.

It tried a few sips, and its eyes immediately lit up – it tasted good.

He immediately took a big gulp of it.

Poor Er Mao has been living in the fragments of the Heavenly Tomb for so many years, and has never really eaten anything good.

Zhan Tiandi and Shuxiang simply watched, not interfering with Xiaoyao's interaction with Ermao. Judging from Xiaoyao's words, she clearly knew Cangmao.

They were also curious about the current situation in the outside world.

"Where did the guest come from? There shouldn't be anyone like the guest in the Three Realms these days." The projection of the War Emperor stopped paying attention to Xiao Yao and looked at Richard to ask.

Don't underestimate him just because he's a projection; he still possesses the power to threaten the true forms of the emperors.

If the projection has such combat power, one can imagine how strong the real thing is.

Although Richard did not reveal any aura, the War Emperor still intuitively sensed that he was no ordinary person.

"I am indeed not from the Three Realms. But fellow Daoist need not worry. I was invited here by the Spirit Emperor."

The Spirit Emperor has now escaped his predicament and is currently in the Three Realms; he did not come here this time.

We've already dealt with the Heavenly Emperor. Most of your original plans are probably no longer needed.

"Now all you need to do is address the flaws in the Origin Path and the other emperors," Richard said.

He didn't know how many contingency plans the Spirit Emperor and the War God Emperor had secretly devised to deal with the Heavenly Emperor, but now none of them were needed. Hearing that the Spirit Emperor had escaped, Shuxiang looked up at him. She was the Spirit Emperor's personal attendant.

Now that the Emperor Ling has escaped, why not recall her?

"Oh? Fellow Daoist, could you tell me in detail about the current situation outside?" the projection of the War Emperor asked.

"That's easy." Richard then told Zhan Tiandi and Shuxiang what he knew.

On the other side, Xiao Yao and Er Mao were clearly not interested in the topic they were talking about, and Er Mao simply took Xiao Yao and slipped out.

I don't know where I went to play.

Neither Richard nor the War Emperor stopped it.

The blue cat often goes out to play and is already familiar with everything here.

As for Xiao Yao, although she was only an avatar, the royal projections here were no match for her.

Therefore, Richard was not worried about his little Yao at all.

Soon, Richard reported the situation to the projection of the Heavenly Emperor and Shuxiang.

"If that's the case, what is your purpose in coming here, fellow Daoist? There shouldn't be anything here that's useful to you, right?" the projection of the War Emperor asked.

This place still has a use, so it can't be destroyed easily.

"I've come for you, fellow Daoist. It would be such a pity if such a remarkable person were to perish like this. Why don't you come with me?" Richard stated his purpose directly.

"Oh? Fellow Daoist wants to recruit me?" The projection of the War Emperor didn't even blink.

"It's not a recruitment; I don't intend for you to become my subordinate. Why don't you come with me to see what my primordial world is like? After you see it, you'll understand what I mean."

Li realized that explaining it would be too troublesome, so he decided to let him see for himself.

"Please, fellow Daoist." The War Emperor's projection was highly skilled and daring, and he didn't even flinch when he went to Richard's original world.

Richard then led Zhan Tiandi and Shuxiang to his original world.

"This is—the Cat World?" the projection of the War Emperor asked in confusion.

Clearly, he was familiar with Cangmao's cat world.

It can be said that Fang Ping's later ability to embark on the path of the Origin World was actually due to the foundation laid for him by the War Emperor.

The one who's truly formidable isn't Fang Ping, but Zhan Tiandi.

Fang Ping is just a tool for others; what does he know about the original world?

"As expected of the War Emperor, you have excellent eyesight. This is the original world I constructed by imitating the cat world of Cang Mao." Richard did not deny it.

Then, the War Emperor looked at the group of Douluo gods who were comprehending the fundamental laws of the world, as well as Richard's several divine beast subordinates.

He roughly understood what Richard meant.

I want him to come into this world too.

As long as he gains some insight into this world, Richard will also reap corresponding rewards.

This is a win-win situation.

However, if that's the case, his power will be limited by Richard, the Lord of the World.

That was natural, but Richard also promised that he could leave whenever he wanted. He would not be stopped.

The projection of the War Emperor neither agreed nor explicitly refused.

Instead, he said that he still had things to finish and needed to decide later.

Richard understood, of course, that he still needed to wait for Fang Ping to come over at the Heavenly Tomb.

Although the Heavenly Emperor is no longer here, the flaws of the Original Dao still exist.

Therefore, the plan must continue, and the second source area plan must continue.

Unless Richard is willing to use his world to accommodate everyone in the three realms.

Even though Richard agreed to contribute his original world, the War Emperor's projection still dared not use it with confidence.

Ultimately, Richard is not from this world, so how could they entrust the lives of everyone in the Three Realms to him?

What if Richard has ill intentions? Wouldn't that harm everyone in the Three Realms?

Richard expressed his understanding, saying that he and the projection of the War Emperor agreed to come back on the day the Heavenly Tomb shattered, and he hoped that by then the Emperor would have made his decision.

While he's at it, try to persuade the projections of the Heavenly Emperor and the Tyrant Emperor. If he were to go alone, they might not agree; they'd more likely just attack him directly.

The Emperor Zhan Tian had a high level of trust in them.

After leaving the War Emperor, Richard made a detour to the other emperors' residences. He visited all of them except for the Spirit Emperor.

However, these projections of emperors were all quite arrogant, and none of them were willing to follow him.

Richard simply collected these emperors' unique martial arts techniques and then turned to leave.

"Father, where shall we go next?" Having played with Er Mao for a while, Xiao Yao had clearly gotten too wild, spending all her time thinking about playing mental arithmetic. Having been confined in the small world for hundreds of years, Xiao Yao was getting restless. Let her go.

"Next, I have to do something big, see if I can travel to another era along the river of time."
