Resolute in his quest for information about Zeno and the Grand Priest, Luo Tian decided to take matters into his own hands. With a shake of his head, he activated the scepter's power, causing the crystal ball above it to project an image.
A plethora of books in the Supreme Kai World Library filled the image as Luo Tian meticulously searched through them. However, even after scanning countless records, there was still no trace of any information regarding Zeno or the Grand Priest.
During this moment of uncertainty, the old Supreme Kai, as if struck by a bolt of realization, muttered the names "Zeno" and "Grand Priest" under his breath.
"You remember something now, Lord Ancestor?" Luo Tian inquired with curiosity.
"It's hazy, but I recall stumbling upon a record a long time ago. I thought it was just a fanciful legend and never took it seriously," the old Supreme Kai admitted as he delved into his distant memories.
"How was it recorded?" Luo Tian probed.
"It mentioned Zeno and the Grand Priest, suggesting that we don't exist in just one universe. Instead, there are 18 universes, and we are merely part of the seventh universe here," the old Supreme Kai began to recount.
"18 Universes! Are there really that many?" Supreme Kai interjected, clearly astonished.
"All these universes are overseen by Zeno and the Grand Priest," the old Supreme Kai continued, elaborating on their roles. "Zeno possesses unimaginable power and can erase entire universes with a single gesture. As for the Grand Priest, he is the steward responsible for managing all the universes."
"What? Such formidable gods exist?" Supreme Kai expressed skepticism. "Haha, this has to be a fabrication."
"According to the record, our seventh universe was also erased by Zeno at some point," the old Supreme Kai added.
"What happens after erasure?" Supreme Kai inquired with curiosity.
"Erasure means that nothing remains. It's as if it never existed in the first place," the old Supreme Kai explained.
"But we're all here now, aren't we?" Supreme Kai questioned with a smile.
"That's precisely why I never took that record seriously," the old Supreme Kai concurred, nodding. "It had been too long, and I nearly forgot about it. If it weren't for Luo Tian Angel bringing up Zeno and the others, I would have remained oblivious to their existence."
Luo Tian couldn't help but be intrigued. Was this universe indeed erased? And if so, how did it continue to exist? These questions puzzled him.
Seeking answers, Luo Tian employed the scepter's power once more. However, his ability to uncover the truth was limited by his status as an Angel, and he couldn't glean the full extent of the information.
Nevertheless, he had established one fact: this world was profoundly unique. The Gods of Destruction, other Angels, and even Grand Priest and Zeno were conspicuously absent.
With his curiosity piqued, the old Supreme Kai provided more insight, recalling details about the Gods of Destruction. "The record mentioned the Gods of Destruction, but I can't remember it clearly. I do recall that they are incredibly powerful, surpassing even the Supreme Kai in strength. It was said that they could rival Goku on Earth."
"What? Such gods exist?" Supreme Kai was left in disbelief.
Luo Tian couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at the comparison. Was the strength of the Gods of Destruction truly on par with Goku's Super Saiyan forms?
"Lord Supreme Kai, how long have you held the position of Supreme Kai?" Luo Tian shifted his attention to Supreme Kai.
"Well, it's been nearly 5 million years, ever since the time of Majin Buu's birth," Supreme Kai calculated.
"It's not important," Luo Tian interjected before Supreme Kai could continue his explanation.
Supreme Kai couldn't hide his curiosity. "What do you mean?"
"Supreme Kai, it's time for you to step down," Luo Tian declared.
Supreme Kai's eyes widened in shock, and he struggled to comprehend the unexpected proclamation. "You... What are you saying?"
"I'm suggesting a change in the primary responsibilities of Supreme Kai from now on," Luo Tian explained with a gentle smile. "In addition to maintaining universal peace, Supreme Kai will also be tasked with creating planets, fostering life, and preserving the balance of the universe."
"Creating planets and life?" Supreme Kai found the notion perplexing. "This is quite unusual. I've never heard of such duties for a Supreme Kai."
"Exactly why you're unsuitable for the role of Supreme Kai, and it's best for you to retire," Luo Tian stated plainly.
"Why should I retire just because you said so?" Supreme Kai retorted, his dissatisfaction evident.
"The reason is simple: you are the most incompetent Supreme Kai," Luo Tian sighed.
Supreme Kai: "..."
The blow to Supreme Kai's ego was harsh, and he felt on the verge of tears.
The old Supreme Kai, meanwhile, remained silent.
"Let me ask you both a question: what are the main responsibilities of a Supreme Kai?" Luo Tian queried.
"Supreme Kai's duty is to maintain universal peace!" Supreme Kai responded confidently.
"Is that all?" Luo Tian inquired further, his smile never wavering.
"Is there something else?" Supreme Kai chuckled nervously.
"What about eradicating evil?" Luo Tian suggested, prompting Supreme Kai to add that to his previous answer. "For example, when faced with threats like Baby on Earth, it's the duty of Supreme Kai to find a way to defeat them and safeguard the universe."
"Is there anything else?" Luo Tian prodded.
"No, that's about it," Supreme Kai admitted with a shrug.
Luo Tian then turned to the old Supreme Kai, his expression warm. "What about you, Lord Ancestor? Do you share the same perspective on the primary responsibilities of a Supreme Kai? Based on your earlier response, it seems you do."
"Yes, a Supreme Kai's primary duty is to eradicate evil and ensure universal peace," the old Supreme Kai confirmed.
With a gentle smile, Luo Tian introduced a new directive. "Starting today, I'm modifying the main responsibilities of Supreme Kai. In addition to preserving universal peace, Supreme Kai will be responsible for creating planets and life, as well as maintaining the equilibrium of the universe."
"Creating planets and life?" Supreme Kai was taken aback. "That's preposterous. I've never heard of such a role for Supreme Kai."
"And that's precisely why you should retire," Luo Tian stated.
"Why should I retire just because you said so?" Supreme Kai reiterated, his perplexity growing.
"Just because I am this universe, the greatest god in this world!" Luo Tian asserted with a smile. "Just because I am Angel!"
Supreme Kai: "..."
Old Supreme Kai: "..."
