[Who-, no it would be more appropriate to say that regardless of which fragment ends up becoming the Eternal is of no concern to me.]

With a tone of disinterest Ye Can speaks and it goes without saying that his words immediately caused suspicion to form in the hearts of Hua Luo and Dao Mo.

[Ideally it would be amongst the four of us.]

The early four fragments Dao Mo, Ye Tian Xie, Hua Luo, and himself, these are the four that are considered the ideal candidates to becoming the Eternal from Ye Can's viewpoint.

[Considering how you have already subjugated most of the Moments and forced them to heed to your command it's all but guaranteed that the Eternal will end up being one of us as the remaining few are but powerless mortals or early realm practitioners who do not have the fortune of ascending to greater heights, people that can be ignored in the grand scheme of things to come.]

Looking to Dao Mo Ye Can continues to speak.

[...]

The tone in Ye Can's voice made Dao Mo feel as if he had been manipulated into doing Ye Can's bidding but logically speaking he could have only come this far by having the Moments under his command so he wasn't without any gains to show for his efforts.

[As the oldest amongst us and as the incarnation of loss I hold the greatest resemblance to our original. And being the one who possesses the greatest share of the stone road I am also burdened with the responsibly of deciding who amongst the early four fragments should be the one to inherit his legacy.]

[...]

Hearing this Hua Luo has all but confirmed his speculates.

[In the end if you three aren't suited to the task of inheriting his legacy I would have taken it for myself. In other words, you were wrong to say that I don't have any intentions to kill you two.]

Being the first fragment to be created through the original Half-Monarch's lingering emotions Ye Can is essentially a perfect clone and is also the one who presides over the rights to his legacy.

[In that case what we've done in stealing portions of the stone road from you is something that makes you deem us as unfit for his legacy is it not?]

[Indeed. But that is only from my point of view. I do not know if I am being biased in my viewpoint or not hence...]

[We can decide what's right ourselves but that doesn't mean you won't try to "correct" us. Still this does make things easier. What were your requirements?]

[Simply telling you the requirements won't be any fun now will it? You'll have to figure it out yourself. Besides you should have all the intentions to back up your own method of transcending to the throne of the Eternal do you not? Otherwise...]

Taking a single step forward Ye Can appears in front of Dao Mo.

[I suggest you quit and return the portion you stole from me right now.]

Lunging his right hand forward an eerie spear of grey radiance manifests in Ye Can's grip.

[Too bad.]

Although the information given by Ye Can is stimulating to the head Dao Mo has never lowered his vigilance throughout the conversation so towards Ye Can's attack he reacts immediately by lunging his left hand out!

*BOOM!!!* a spear of the same nature but gold in color manifests in Dao Mo's grip and as gold and grey collides a powerful wave of energy that is unique to Absolute Laws erupt causing the fabric of time and space that surrounds the two Half-Monarchs to distort!

[I fully intend to do things my way. After all going along with what you've set in place is simply unpleasant.]

[Figured as much considering your eventual goal.]

*...!!!!!* as the radiance of gold and grey intensifies the sight quickly becomes overbearing on the eyes but-

[Tch. If you two want to fight it out just do so, not like I'll come in from the side and stab one of you when you least expect it.]

Although the radiance of gold and grey has reached a level that is akin to the vibrance of a solar body Hua Luo immediately saw the shadowy figures of the two Half-Monarchs closing in on him from the front.

[I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with this. After all this is the price you must pay for stealing the final portion of the stone road.]

[If you were so obedient as to hand the final portion of the stone road over I wouldn't mind leaving here and now.]

Respectively Ye Can and Dao Mo said their lines at the same time and as they close in on Hua Luo the energy that is unique to Absolute Laws grew stronger and stronger.
