Chapter 1463: Another Shock

Zhang Tie was really shocked by Heller's question like as if he was struck by a lightning bolt.

"Heller, you mean that there...there're some spiritual beings more powerful than sage-level demon knights?" Zhang Tie couldn't help but stammer.

"I could only tell you that sage-level demon knight couldn't pose any influence to the bearing rules of the small tree. It's a very advanced power that is far greater than that of sage-level knights as it could directly prevent demon knights from being affected by the bearing rules of the small tree!"

Although Heller didn't tell Zhang Tie explicitly, Zhang Tie, who was familiar with Heller's talking style had already got the answer. In the past, Zhang Tie had already sensed it. However, he didn't want to face it. Now, this answer was finally proved by the fruit of redemption from the gratitude of humans given Heller's explanation.

Zhang Tie didn't know what to do, cry or smile.

The new fruit was a piece of good news for Zhang Tie. However, the fact that demons had powers far greater than sage-level knights let Zhang Tie feel a heavy burden. As for Zhang Tie, this stress was similar to that when he realized that the holy war was going to break out soon when he was a horny boy. In a trance, the invisible stress shocked his soul and made him suffocated about his fate facing the sea of stars at night.

"Is...is there really a demon deity?"

"What's your definition for deity? Based on your current ability, if you were in the age before the Catastrophe, you could live hundreds even thousands of years; you could fly in the sky out of the effect of gravity of the planet; you could be immune to sabers and guns; you could remain young forever; you could read others' memories; you could control one's soul by throwing a glance at him; you would also be a deity for those people in that age. However, do you really think that you're a deity?" People always say that deities are almighty. However, the word "almighty" itself is contradictory; it's the product of a paradox; it's an innocent fantasy."

After being silent for a few seconds, Zhang Tie asked another question, "Would the small tree bear other fruits of consciousness of universal laws on higher levels?"

"Yes, the small tree could bear another 8 fruits of consciousness of universal laws from class II to class IX. Each level of the fruit of consciousness of universal laws could enable Castle Lord to touch the rules of a new level. The last fruit that this small tree could bring Castle Lord is also the class IX fruit of consciousness of universal laws!"

Heller's words meant that there were at least 9 greater realms above a sage-level knight. Attention! It was at least. Due to the limited abilities of the small tree, it could not bear anything higher than itself...

It was not an end, but a beginning to become a sage-level knight.

There were unimaginable, more powerful existences above sage-level demon knights.

However, Zhang Tie was just a shadow knight. He should promote to a heavenly knight, then a sage-level knight, from when he just gained a new start as there would be more powerful realms above it.

Such a new recognition was like an ice bucket challenge for Zhang Tie. After quivering all over for a bit, he abruptly woke up from the sense of achievement after he killed a heavenly demon knight above the bank of Weishui River.

"Now that there're such powerful demon existences, why would the holy war last for so many years?" Zhang Tie asked Heller.

"What do you think?" Heller gazed at Zhang Tie seriously too.

"Are there also unknown powerful human existences?" Zhang Tie felt there probably was as he added, "The more powerful the individuals are, the longer would they live. Many unimaginable powerful existences which created brilliant human histories and civilizations might...might still be alive..."

This conclusion was a bit horrible. However, it was the most reasonable explanation that Zhang Tie could imagine. If there were really demons higher than sage-level knights, there must be balanced forces on the same level. Otherwise, demons would have been unscrupulous and such holy wars would not last almost 1,000 years.

Heller maintained a smile silently. At the sight of Heller's expression, Zhang Tie knew that he couldn't get any answer from Heller.

Zhang Tie then suddenly let out a sigh as he said, "If I could make a choice, I prefer there's no such a fruit!"

"Ostrich is used to bury its head in sand; however, it doesn't mean that it could live longer than a lion. Under the sea of stars, each of us is small. Tens of millions of years is just a ripple rising and falling in the long course of the river. " Heller looked at Zhang Tie calmly as he added, "Castle Lord, would you take this fruit?"

"I would; of course; why not?" Zhang Tie suddenly revealed his side of decisiveness and ferocity as he added, "No matter what, I've already secured advantages. I've f*cked the most beautiful women, killed fierce demons and saved a lot of people at the risk of my life. I've got everything that others could have or have not. I've got everything that I want. What I'm afraid of? F*ck! Whatever, no matter how powerful the guys behind demons are or how higher the realms above sage-level knight are, this f*ther would not lose one hair now!"

Zhang Tie said as he directly picked off the fruit of consciousness of universal laws before sitting down under the small tree with crossed legs and engulfing it...

When the energy of that fruit started to spread over Zhang Tie's body, Zhang Tie's consciousness and senses were instantly involved in overwhelming energy. Zhang Tie felt being engulfed by that fruit as he felt each cell and nerve in his body was melting in that fruit...

In the overwhelming energy, Zhang Tie couldn't sense the existence of time and his body anymore; instead, he only felt his awareness and senses skyrocketing. After a period, the fresh sense immediately broke through the thick clouds and the skyline briskly and openly.

When he gradually recovered his consciousness and senses, he opened his eyes.

Heller was still standing in front of the small tree; however, the bizarre light in the palace tree had been lit, which reminded Zhang Tie that it was already night.

Zhang Tie looked around as he found that everything in front of his eyes appeared as same as before. However, as long as he slightly concentrated on something, he would find that everything had become different...
