I Am Unstoppable novel

Chapter 366 The Past Of The Four Emperors

Jonathan and the others were shocked to hear the news.

Even the masters felt the same. They wondered who it was this time after Edward's case.

Jonathan could not help but ask, “Master, who is it?”

There was a conflicted look on Richard's face as he said, “This master's surname is Lawson as well. He's Ignatius,

the son of Tristan, the Demon Emperor. This was decided by the Demon Emperor and the Divine Emperor. No one is

allowed to disagree.”

“What?” Jonathan was dumbstruck. He knew Tristan had another son, but he never expected to learn about his

younger brother that way.

A bitter feeling filled Jonathan's heart. Brother or not, I'm only like a weed to Tristan and Ignatius. Besides, Ignatius

grew up under Tristan's care since young. I bet his cultivation level is beyond imaginable.

At that moment, Jonathan's thoughts raced. He had a feeling the reason Ignatius was appearing only now had

something to do with him and Tristan.

Simon, Elijah, and Lesley knew what Tristan's relationship with Jonathan was. Thus, they were shocked by what they

heard.

Simon asked, “Master, do you know what Ignatius' current cultivation level is?”

Reverence fleeted across Richard's eyes. “I'm not sure, but I can describe it with one word—unfathomable.”

The hearts of Jonathan and the others sank in despair.

Richard could tell the crowd's expressions looked off, but he did not know why. Hence, he asked, “What's wrong?”

Jonathan's heart was filled with so much bitterness that he did not know where to begin.

Noting that, Simon said, “Master, Jonathan is Tristan's son, too, but his mother was killed by Tristan. This was a

secret during that time. Ignatius' appearance might have something to do with Jonathan.”

The news shocked Richard. “I didn't know that.”

Jonathan kept quiet.

Hearing that, Lesley added, “Please protect Jonathan, Master.”

Ever since Lesley and the others found out Jonathan was Tristan's son, they had been concerned about Jonathan's

safety.

After all, they were powerless against Ignatius, who was on the level of a master. Thus, Richard was the only person

they could depend on.

To Jonathan, it was a humiliation. However, the feeling faded a little after his talk with Simon yesterday.

He finally understood that he could only win by living. Only by living would he have hope.

After several seconds of silence, Richard said, “You don't have to worry about Jonathan. If the Demon Emperor and

Ignatius really wanted to kill Jonathan, they would've done it long ago. Moreover, I believe it'll be hard to fight the

duo even if the Divine Emperor came.”

Simon was a man with few words. That day, however, he spoke a lot. “I'm afraid Ignatius will humiliate Jonathan.”

“Neither Tristan nor Ignatius will come to kill Jonathan. It's bad luck to kill a relative. As for the issue of humiliation,

I'm afraid that's unavoidable. What you must do is bear with it, Jonathan. Bear with it until you've become

extremely powerful. That's when you'll win.” Richard paused before continuing, “I was wondering why the Divine

Emperor would suddenly tell everyone to come back to watch the ceremony. It looks like the Divine Emperor wants

to plant a seed of vengefulness in your heart to prepare you to go against Ignatius and the Demon Emperor.”

Taking a deep breath, Jonathan said, “I know what to do now, Master.”

Following that, Simon asked, “Master, does the Divine Emperor need to plan ahead as well? Does he even need to

fear the Demon Emperor and Ignatius?”

To them, the Divine Emperor was a mighty and supreme being.

In response, Richard explained, “When a person reaches the Divine Emperor's and the Demon Emperor's

cultivation stage, what they fear is not a person but the mysterious Heavenly Law. Will the Demon Emperor and

Ignatius fear Jonathan? Obviously, no. Yet, the Demon Emperor sent Ignatius to the Divine Realm to become a

master. That's his method of planning ahead. He doesn't fear Jonathan. Rather, he's making some preparations. If I

guessed it right, Jonathan is Ignatius' demonic tribulation. So, Tristan wants to come up with a perfect plan to

overcome it. Once he overcomes the demonic tribulation of Jonathan, he'll be more powerful.”

There was a brief pause before he continued, “Meanwhile, both Ignatius and the Demon Emperor might be the

Divine Emperor's demonic tribulation. Hence, the purpose of the Divine Emperor telling all of us to come back to

watch the ceremony was his way of planning ahead. I'm sure you can tell neither the Demon Emperor nor the

Divine Emperor is afraid of their demonic tribulation. They wouldn't kill Jonathan and Ignatius before they had fully

developed their abilities. They accept the tribulation calmly. That's because they fear nothing on earth, be it

humans, the Heavenly Law, or the tribulations. They'd even face death with complete calmness.”

Jonathan and the others were stunned. As they digested the information, they realized Richard's logic made sense.

“No matter what the character of the Divine Emperor, the Demon Emperor, the Emperor of Chanaea, and Asura

Emperor is, we have immense respect for them. That's because they did the impossible. All of them were born

ordinary and ended up becoming something extraordinary. Back then, the Divine Emperor was just a countryman.

He was obsessed with Destino Art and believed in immortality. In fact, the current art of immortality was created by

him. When he was young, he told people he saw a fighter flying in the air with a sword. Everyone thought he was

mad. The Divine Emperor once went to West Kingshinton to kneel before the leader so he could join the sect and

become a Divine Master. However, the leader refused, and the Divine Emperor defeated the former,” Richard

explained.

He paused again and continued, “As for the Emperor of Chanaea, he once kneeled before Asura Emperor to beg

for mercy on behalf of his wife and child. In the end, Asura Emperor killed his wife and the unborn child. Then, the

Emperor of Chanaea survived all kinds of difficulties and surpassed Asura Emperor. I'm not sure what happened

during that time. All I know is that the two got into a huge battle. After that, Asura Emperor never appeared for

decades. The Demon Emperor's story is quite a fascinating one, and they're all secrets. I'm going to tell you all of it

today.”

Everyone focused on Richard's words, feeling as if they had traveled to those exciting eras.

“Jonathan, you've met the Demon Emperor before, right?” Richard asked.

Jonathan nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something strange and asked, “Master, why do the Demon Emperor and

the Emperor of Chanaea look the same?”

“That's exactly what I wanted to talk about. Back then, the Emperor of Chanaea had a magical item named Dragon

Jade. During an adventure, he traveled through a man-made space-time tunnel. It was too torturing for him, so he

devoured the Dragon Jade. After that, he went astray in the space-time tunnel. When his body returned to the real

world, the Demon Emperor was created in another space-time. After some time, the Demon Emperor, too,

returned to reality. That is why we have two Lances in this world.”

“Two of the same person appearing in the same space-time? But Master, that's against the logic of Heavenly Law,”

said Jonathan, shocked by the news.

“Indeed, it is illogical. However, it's the very reason the Demon Emperor devoured the Dragon Jade, which allowed

him to rewrite his destiny. Thus, the Demon Emperor and the Emperor of Chanaea are two different people. The

Demon Emperor endured all the sufferings of the Emperor of Chanaea in the past. The moment he returned to

reality, he realized his family did not belong to him anymore. They belonged to the Emperor of Chanaea, while the

Demon Emperor had become a bystander. Do you know why he gave himself the name Tristan? That was because

everything he saw at that time filled his heart with immense sorrow.”

Jonathan and the others could not help but sigh.

Everyone who wanted to achieve great things always endured countless sufferings.

Suddenly, Elijah said, “Master, you seem to have forgotten about Asura Emperor. Why do I feel like he's the most

mysterious person whom people rarely mention? Still, his reputation is as great as these Great Emperors.”

Richard answered, “Asura Emperor was originally an orphan. He was then taken in by his master, Master Urho. The

latter taught him skills, but he soon found Asura Emperor bad-tempered and had a terrible fate. Hence, Master

Urho personally sent him to Myriad Ghost Cave.”

The news shocked the others.

Richard added, “That's why many things are fated. Master Urho thought he could control Asura Emperor using that

method. To his surprise, not only did Asura Emperor survive, but his cultivation improved. Even Master Urho was no

match for him. Although Asura Emperor was a cold and heartless person, he still respected his master. In the end,

Asura Emperor told his master he would've died if that was what the latter wanted. The latter shouldn't have lied to

him nor thrown him into Myriad Ghost Cave when his guard was lowered. After that, he killed Master Urho.

Speaking of fate, Master Urho and the Emperor of Chanaea met each other before. Although Master Urho never

officially accepted the Emperor of Chanaea as his disciple, he taught the latter skills. Perhaps Master Urho created

the Emperor of Chanaea to deal with Asura Emperor. Just like you, Jonathan, the Divine Emperor has high hopes for

you so you can keep Ignatius in check.”

Nervousness crept into Jonathan's heart. “How can I be as great as the Emperor of Chanaea?”

Richard said plainly, “If you can become Tristan's demonic tribulation, your cultivation will definitely surpass the

Emperor of Chanaea's. Don't belittle yourself too much. Everything happens for a reason and at the right timing.”

Jonathan and the others chatted a little more before bidding Richard farewell.

Then, they returned to Sunny Condo.

Thanks to Richard's explanation about the Great Emperors, Jonathan felt much calmer.

Maybe I should view the problem from another perspective. Perhaps suffering is a form of training. After all, there's

always a rainbow after the storm.
