The disciple, wide-eyed and trembling, could only nod in agreement. "Master, how is this possible? He's not even... he can't be..."

"I know, child. I know." The elder's voice was heavy with the weight of shattered beliefs. "To suppress a God Emperor without being one... it's a feat I thought I'd never see in this lifetime. But to possess power bordering on that of a Celestial God Emperor? It's as if the very laws of cultivation are being rewritten before our eyes."
