Chapter 88: The Origins of the Supreme Pig

So their destiny was in their hands.

From now on, they had to choose each one of their following actions carefully.

Otherwise, a wrong move could bring them to destruction.

Even if the Supreme Pig answered his question, Old Tian was a stubborn old man and couldn't just trust those ambiguous words.

He needed a more concrete answer, so he shouted, coldly: "Your words are truly impressive... But I can't believe that you will gain anything from all of this. I want the truth. Why are you doing this?"

"Hehehe... Don't you think you're a bit of a hypocrite, given all the secrets you kept with Tian Yang?" The Supreme Pig's voice resounded once again.

"These are not things you should worry about, but you are right. I hid many things from him, partly because I was forced by those stupid restrictions and partly because it was more convenient for me. But I never caused Little Tian any harm." Old Tian snorted coldly and then shouted once again: "Why do you keep wandering around so much. Don't tell me that deep down, you actually have an ulterior motive."

This time the Supreme Pig was silent for a while, and only after a moment of reflection did he answer, with a long sigh: "So you want the truth??... Fine."

"None of you have wondered why I know all these things about our Universe and the Creators of the Principle? Or why are creatures like me or my brothers and sisters so attracted to the energy that flows within Tian Yang?"

Naturally, Tian Yang and the others didn't have an answer to this question, so they waited patiently for his following words.

Even Old Tian remained silent, but inside his mind, there was already a simple answer.

"Tian Yang, you already saw my real body with your new eyes. So, you should already have an idea, right?"

"Well... I only saw a mass of golden flames, nothing else..." Tian Yang answered, thoughtful.

Tian Yang's words let Old Tian confirm his previous consideration, so he replied in his place: "You are one of those seven powers that defeated the darkness long ago... The Principle of Fire!!!"

Old Tian's statement shocked all.

But it was impossible.

The Supreme Pig couldn't be one of the Elemental Principle...

One of the original energies of the Universe...

And indeed, the Old Pig immediately denied it, sarcastically: "You are partly right. I actually participated in that battle, but unfortunately, I am not the Principle of Fire. I'm just a creature generated by that power. A Creature of the Principle."

After that, the Supreme Pig continued: "My brothers and sisters and I were born thanks to the Creator of the Principle, master of the Elemental World.

Like Little Flame and Green Lotus, we had the same task, protect this world and our father.

Unfortunately, the darkness was too powerful, particularly its ruler.

We failed countless times and consumed all our resources against them.

But that wasn't enough.

Overwhelmed by his enormous power, our father chose the only possible way for us and our world to survive.

He sacrificed his life to seal the darkness in a space outside our Universe... the Void."

"Now, without our father, the energy is reducing at an alarming speed.

After that terrible battle, we found ourselves divided and one step away from death.

Our energy was almost exhausted, and we couldn't even regenerate them because our energy source comes from our father.

So to survive, we went into a deep sleep.

Or at least that's what I hope my brothers did too."

The story of the Supreme Pig touched Old Tian a lot.

After all, their fathers were similar.

They both chose to sacrifice their lives for the greater good.

The Supreme Pig's voice echoed inside the Heavenly World Pearl for a long time, and the people inside clearly perceived the desolation on them.

Not sure of what to say, Tian Yang and the other remained silent.

But at some point, Old Tian started speaking once again: "Old Fellow... We are not so different... after all. Don't worry, I made a promise to my fathers long ago. I promise them to protect their world from those bastards. Your story... well, it is more correct to say, our past made the target a bit more complicated, but you surely save our lives. So we will trust you."

"Right!!" Even the Nine Celestial Maidens confirmed the old man's words.

"Hehehe... After hearing my story... you are trusting me so much?" The Supreme Pig chuckled strangely, almost like a demonic laugh.

"Hey!!... Old Pig!! You did many things for us, so it's normal. That Old idiot is just a little too stubborn... so stop it, and let's explain to them your plan." Tian Yang smiled, satisfied by Old Tian's attitude.

"Fine... Fine... I was joking." The Supreme Pig laughed and then started explaining their absurd plan.

After all, removing the Heavenly Veins and Essence qi from a human was no small feat.

Old Tian and the little girls listened to his words carefully and naturally reacted differently.

The Nine Celestial Maidens were scared by the terrible consequences.

They cared too much for him, and of course, they couldn't bear to see him suffer.

Instead, Old Tian started to analyze his world immediately.

Even if it was beyond his intellect, his mind could easily adapt to new information.

After all, he had managed to create more than one miracle in recent years, even if he hadn't foreseen them all.

The Supreme Pig let them think about a possible solution.

Luckily, after some time, Old Tian lifted his head toward the sky and said, with resolution: "I cannot predict what will happen to the Heavenly World Pearl. But of one thing, I'm sure. If all of this can give Tian Yang enough power, then we must take the risk. Our lives are not worth as much as the whole world."

His words were certainly correct but also a little selfish.

After all, even the nine girls' lives were in danger.

Tian Yang knew that, too.

But when he saw the sadness on the faces of the Redhead and her sisters, his heart trembled.

It was a really difficult choice...
