Chapter 351 Demon Emperor On Mount Goliath
Jeff chuckled. “There's a woman here, you know? You should put on your clothes quickly, Adonis.”
Adonis glared at him. “You didn't even give me any time to wear my clothes, you punk! I was dreaming about
eating a roasted chicken when you busted into my room.”
“If you want to eat roasted chicken, I can bring you to a place that sells them right now. We piloted a plane here.”
“Really?” Adonis' eyes glinted.
“Of course.”
Without delay, Adonis put on his pants and a clean robe. “Wait, you're definitely up to no good if you woke me up in
the middle of the night.”
“So what if I am? Will you just refuse to help me?”
“Fine. Tell me what you're up to.”
Promptly, Jeff sat in the room with Mabel and said, “Here's the thing. You're knowledgeable, right? I want to ask you
something. Do you know anything about Wretched the Great?”
Mabel stared at Adonis in anticipation.
Slightly stunned, Adonis asked, “Did I hear that right? You said Wretched the Great?”
Upon hearing his tone, Mabel and Jeff were delighted. It seems that he does know about it!
“That's right! Wretched the Great!” repeated Jeff.
“Why are you asking about it?”
“You know about it?”
“Tell me why you're bringing it up first.”
Jeff glanced at Mabel. “You should be the one to tell him.”
In response, Adonis turned to her.
After clearing her throat, she said, “Before we talk about Wretched the Great, we need to start with the Infant
King.”
She began her tale by narrating how she had been intruded upon by the Infant King's primordial spirit.
She also mentioned Jonathan saving Zoe and taking care of the cacodemon.

Lastly, she spilled everything that transpired during her journey in Thymion, including Wretched the Great's desire
to dominate the country and massacre its people.
She also brought up its theory about the planet being sick.
By the time Mabel concluded her story, it was already three in the morning.
Adonis stood up in excitement. “Legend says that Wretched the Great is a natural-born mutant. Its body is capable
of unlimited mutation. Hence, it has the most powerful body in the whole world. It is said that no one can damage
its flesh. I thought it was just a myth, but it seems that it's real. In that case, I must visit Thymion to take a look at
Wretched the Great.”
“A natural-born mutant? Why is that?” Mabel asked.
“Anything can exist and happen in this universe without any profound reason. So, my answer is that it simply just is.
Some people are born without arms, and some without sight. Meanwhile, there are people who are born prodigies
or with the ability to manipulate matter with spiritual energy. It's pointless to ponder why Wretched the Great
exists.”
“That's true. Even if God is a precise instrument, He's bound to make some mistake when creating so many
people,” Jeff said.
“That's right. In any case, the legends I know mentioned Wretched the Great was born a mutant so powerful that
no one could slay it. Additionally, it could communicate with all life in existence. From the moment it was born, it
was a king. Also, I believe Wretched the Great is more than a millennium old. But a thousand years ago, after it
reigned supreme for a while, it understood something and vanished. That's why no one has heard of Wretched the
Great before. Even I thought it was just a joke.”
“Wretched the Great is nearly invincible after cultivating for a thousand years. I bet it hid long ago because it feared
the heavens would kill it. Now that it has reappeared, it's obvious it has understood the will of the Heavenly Law.”
“Its cultivation is beyond our imagination. Perhaps it's capable of sensing the will of the Heavenly Law. In any case,
I'm intrigued about Wretched the Great.” Adonis turned to Mabel. “How about we head to where it is now? I want to
take a look at it. Since you two have a plane, the journey there will barely be an inconvenience.”
“I thought you hated plane rides.”
“Well, I avoid it if it's not an important matter. However, the current situation is different. How can a cultivator like
me be particular about that sort of stuff right now?”
He sure is a carefree man and a true cultivator. Mabel uttered, “We're not going there for sightseeing! We have to
find a way to stop Wretched the Great's rampage. You're a cultivator, so you're supposed to be compassionate. If
you see Wretched the Great killing people upon arriving in Mapleton, will you try to stop it? If you do, you'll fail and
may lose your life. However, if you don't, you'll feel guilty, won't you?”
“What's there to consider? Of course, I won't stop it!”
Mabel was stunned by his answer.
Jeff smiled bitterly.
“What? Did I say something wrong?” Adonis asked.
“Wouldn't you feel guilty for not stopping it?” Mabel wondered aloud.
“Why would I be? Sure, I am supposed to be compassionate. However, the life my parents gave me is precious.
Usually, when I see someone in need and I think I can help them, I will. However, why will I get involved if I know I
stand no chance of winning and may be killed in the process? Or do you think our lives are worth less than others?
It's perfectly normal for people to avoid danger. If you're in an earthquake or a crumbling house, you'll flee
immediately, right? It's in every being's nature to survive!” His argument was so solid that she had no rebuttal to
offer.
Then he eyed her. “You two want me to defeat Wretched the Great, right? That's why you're here, no?”
“Not exactly. We want to prevent it from massacring people because we're closely related to its appearance. I don't
want it to commit such a grave sin.”
“According to what you two have said, its appearance is a work of fate. That's why you two don't need to blame
yourselves for what happened. Besides, the birth and death of everything are governed by their own law. No
human can interfere with it.”
Mabel refuted, “You're wrong. Since we're part of the cycle of the universe, we may be betraying that law by not
doing anything.”
“How about this? While I can't defeat Wretched the Great, I know someone who can stop it. However, he's not
easily persuaded. It's up to you whether you succeed if you're willing to give it a try.”
Mabel's eyes sparkled. “Where is this person? Who is it?”
She was very curious about the person who was powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with Wretched the Great.
After all, even though Galad was a Level Five Immortal, he was taken out by Wretched the Great fairly easily.
Adonis revealed, “You may have heard of him since he's quite famous. People call him the Demon Emperor!”
“You mean Tristan Cadman?” Mabel was shocked.

“Where is he?”
“He's on Mount Goliath.”
“Where is he specifically on Mount Goliath?” The mountain was so big that Mabel wouldn't know where to start her
search without some clues.
Adonis disclosed, “I don't know. Back then, his demonic nature was spiraling out of control, so the Divine Emperor
and Emperor of Chanaea sealed him on the mountain together. Their plan was to use the mountain's positive
energy to temper the Demon Emperor's demonic nature. I think that process is about done now, so he should be
able to enter and leave Mount Goliath freely.”
Colors drained from Mabel's countenance. If the Emperor of Chanaea and the Divine Emperor have to work
together to deal with the Demon Emperor, his cultivation must be on a terrifying level!
Immediately, she asked, “So you're saying the Demon Emperor may not be on Mount Goliath anymore?”
“Even if he's not, he knows everything that's going on on the mountain. If he wants to meet you, you'll see him. If
not, then you'll never find him.”
Mabel stood up. “In that case, I'll pay Mount Goliath a visit.”
“Go ahead. However, I still want to visit Mapleton. I don't have any identification documents, so you two need to
send me there.”
“No problem.”
After thinking about something, Jeff asked, “You really want to go to Mount Goliath, Mabel?”
“Yeah.” Mabel nodded.
“Are you sure you want to do this? You know what kind of person the Demon Emperor is. He's utterly demonic and
ruthless. He has gotten so powerful that he won't have any qualms about killing you.”
“I know, but considering his demonic nature has mostly been tempered, I have to give it a try.”
Jeff sighed. “Sometimes, I don't know why you and Jonathan are so stubborn.”
Mabel smiled bitterly and remained silent.
“All right, then. Adonis and I will head to Mapleton while you visit Mount Goliath yourself. I doubt my presence there
will make a difference, anyway. Who knows, perhaps the Demon Emperor may be more merciful if he sees only a
woman there.”
