Cultivation Online novel Chapter 2540

Chapter 2540: Selena’s Audience With the Celestial Emperor(2)

Selena glanced at the masked figure beside the Celestial Emperor for a brief moment before ignoring him and speaking to the Celestial Emperor, "So, what do you wish to speak to me about?"

"It’s quite simple. I want to know what your true purpose for coming to our world is. Do you really wish for humans and demons to coexist, or are you looking for something else?"

Selena raised an eyebrow at the Celestial Emperor’s choice of words. "What makes you think I am looking for something?"

"I have no reason to think that," the Celestial Emperor replied. "I was merely making an assumption."

"..."

Selena fell silent for a moment before speaking again. "Although there is nothing I personally want from the Nine Heavens, I will admit that its resources will likely be sought after. The Demonic Realm’s resources have long since become scarce due to overpopulation and the immortality of our people."

"Hmm... While our world does possess an abundance of resources, that does not mean we can use them without restraint. The only reason we have not exhausted them is because we enforce strict regulations to prevent overconsumption."

Selena nodded. "I will ensure that strict regulations are imposed on any demons who visit this world, so they do not take more than they are allowed."

The Celestial Emperor shook his head. "Their desire for our resources is not what concerns me most. It is our safety. From what I have been told, Cultivation Gods are fairly abundant in the Demonic Realm. Yet in this world, there are so few that they can be counted on one’s fingers."

He continued, "If even a few of them were to visit our world, the balance of power would immediately collapse. Hell, your presence alone has already thrown it into disarray."

"Because time flows differently between our worlds, it is not something I can truly regulate. However, it is possible to restrict the strength of those allowed to visit your world, ensuring that they remain within this world’s power level," Selena said.

Then, she continued, "I have also heard that some of your people wish to visit the Demonic Realm to accelerate their cultivation, since time passes much faster in our world. However, I must warn you that our environment is vastly different and may not be suitable for humans like you. The Divine Paragon is an anomaly and should not be used as an example."

The Celestial Emperor nodded and said, "We will also have regulations for humans who wish to visit the Demonic Realm."

"Onto my next concern... could whatever turned your people into demons spread to our world? If there is even the slightest possibility, we will have no choice but to keep our world closed."

"I do not have a clear answer for you right now, but once I have a concrete answer, I will let you know."

"How do you plan to determine that without experimenting on our people?"

"I do not," Selena answered calmly. "Because I intend to experiment on the humans of this world."
