Spirit Realm Chapter 1817: An Unsolvable Dilemma

"Our universe cannot hold too many ultimate realm experts. Each great expert, when searching for a way to break through, will cause a universal phenomenon.”
"After his breakthrough, the universal laws themselves may be altered."
"When Lieyan Yuan attempted to break through, many fire-attribute realms and worlds had been destroyed."
"And remember, he failed in his breakthrough."
"If he really reached the ultimate realm, the situation would be even worse."
Qin Lie looked deeply at Shang Mou and the Thunder Emperor. "The two of you may cause changes in lightning and spatial power during your breakthrough. Spirit Realm may have many realms disappear forever due to your breakthrough. You may cause lightning and spatial laws to become unbalanced. Many beings will die.”
"Boy, stop this alarmist talk!" the Thunder Emperor shouted.
"Imperial Soul Monarch was able to stay in the ultimate realm. The two Abyss Masters too. Why can’t we?" Shang Mou said coldly.
"When the two Abyss Masters reached the ultimate realm, they almost caused the universe to die!" Qin Lie's expression was dark. "When the Flame Devil King became the Abyss Master, several Abyss levels disappeared. He did not stay long in the ultimate realm for long as he was obliterated by the ultimate flame he tried to refine. Castor was different. The power of dead souls he cultivated required dead souls to get stronger, so he started countless wars between Abyss Devils and the rest of the universe’s races!"
"His ultimate goal was for all beings in the universe to die and become dead souls for him to wield!"
"If he continued, the beings in our universe would have gone extinct."
"That’s why I stopped Castor and had him turn into the eight Nether Rivers."
"I also stopped Lieyan Yuan!"
Qin Lie's eyes turned cold and he said decisively, "I will make any person that dares to destroy our beautiful universe and upset the balance disappear!"
"Including you two!"
"You, you stopped Castor?"
"You also stopped Lieyan Yuan?"
Shang Mou and Thunder Emperor looked in shock at him and said in unison, "Who are you?"
"I am the Imperial Soul Monarch," Qin Lie said coolly.
Shang Mou and Thunder Emperor were stunned when they heard Qin Lie call himself Imperial Soul Monarch.
The Thunder Emperor looked oddly at the Flame Emperor.
The Flame Emperor nodded with a grimace. "The situation is complicated but he is not lying. He is the Imperial Soul Monarch reborn."
Shang Mou was shocked and said, "You dare believe a member of the Soul Race? He is not a member of the human race. For millions of years, he was the one who prevented the experts of this universe from taking the last step! You think what he says is the truth? Are you so sure that this is not an excuse he makes to mislead us so that he can be the strongest in the universe for his own selfish desires?!"
"If you really are the Imperial Soul Monarch, you reached the ultimate realm, why can't we?" The Thunder Emperor was furious. "If there is only one person who can reach the ultimate realm in the universe, why is it you, and not one of us?"
"Exactly!" Shang Mou agreed.
For tens of thousands of years, Shang Mou and Thunder Emperor had worked in order to reach the ultimate realm one day.
For this goal, they’ve sacrificed everything. Their determination surpassed everyone's expectations.
Regardless of the veracity of Qin Lie's words, in their view, Qin Lie was the rock blocking their way!
Since Imperial Soul Monarch was able to look down on the world from the ultimate realm, when they thought they also found a way to reach the ultimate realm, they would not give up easily just because of Qin Lie's words!
"I will search for a different place to reach the ultimate realm!" Shang Mou snorted. He tore a spatial crack and said, "If you want to stop me, give it a try!"
"I am also the same. You can stop me like you did Lieyan Yuan, as long as you are able!" the Thunder Emperor said angrily.
Then Shang Mou and the Thunder Emperor left Sky Bearing City like this.
"This..." Ji Dan sighed.
"I said before that the shadow beings will make major movements." Qin Lie slowly calmed down and said, "This is shadow beings’ plan against me!"
"Why?" The Flame Emperor pulled his hair and said, "I know the Thunder Emperor. He will not give up just because of your words."
"My master is also stubborn," Miao Yizi said faintly.
"Little Lie, many of the foreign race experts who returned from the Dark Shadow World are old people of high repute among the races. They are beloved and trusted by the foreign experts. If you want to stop them, this means you will be enemies with all the powerful races of the universe. The alliance we worked so hard to create will immediately collapse." Qin Shan frowned. "Not only that, but we will also become the enemies of all races! They will think that we are the obstacle stopping their races’ seniors from their breakthrough."
"This is troublesome." Ji Dan grimaced.
He believed Qin Lie's words and his judgement because Spirit Realm underwent odd changes when Lieyan Yuan attempted to have his breakthrough.
If not for Ling Yushi, Boluo Realm would have collapsed and disappeared like other realms abundant in fire energy.
He learned from the visitors of other realms that many famed realms had died because of Lieyan Yuan.
The old man caused billions of lives to perish.
"If they do as they please, without needing the shadow beings to act, our universe will collapse first. Realms like Spirit Realm will become unstable, all the different laws and energies out of balance." Qin Lie thought and said, "At that time, the shadow beings will not have to act, many of our stars will disappear. The powers of the world will gather on those experts. It may benefit them, but the other beings will die. In the end, the only ones who will survive will be the experts of the ultimate realm."
"The other beings will all die."
"If I stop them, I and Spirit Realm will become enemies of all the races."
"An internal conflict will occur."
"Once we settle it, the shadow beings will invade and easily take everything over.”
"If I use my power to stop the many elders trying to reach the ultimate realm, I will use most of my energy. I may not even be able to stop all of them."
"Even if I manage to stop all of them, it will be a pyrrhic victory. I will have no power left to fight the Saint God of the shadow beings."
"This is an unsolvable dilemma."
