My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2733

"Long time no see, Nashy."

Upon hearing these words, Nash became even more certain. The person before him was indeed his master!

"H-How did you end up here?" Nash asked, his voice slightly choked.

Johnathan pointed at the cave entrance and asked, "Shall we go inside to talk?"

Suddenly, Nash recalled the words of the All Souls Token. "Why? Can't we talk here?"

Johnathan smiled gently, revealing a look of reassurance.

"I see. It seems you've inherited the Six Ritualistic Weapons."

Nash felt bewildered; his master actually knew about the Six Ritualistic Weapons.

"Master, how do you know about that?"

Johnathan sat cross-legged at the cave entrance.

"Nashy, you must have many questions. Don't worry. Today, I'll answer them one by one."

"But—"

Before Nash could finish, Johnathan interrupted, "You must have heard about Amulet Glory from others, right?"

Nash nodded.

Johnathan continued, "But they probably don't understand it well. Amulet Glory is not just for conferring the position of a Heavenly Master and their power. It's more like a physical constitution.

Johnathan shook his head expressionlessly. "Not at all. This is what I am about to explain next. You should've noticed that the Six Ritualistic Weapons only exist within specific organs in your body. This is related to the legends of the past.

"After the human emperor's defeat, his body fell back to the mortal realm. But a long time passed, and the emperor's body did not decay. When people went to observe him, they discovered that the six organs in his body continuously emitted true energy, which served as the predecessors of the Six Ritualistic Weapons.

"People buried the emperor's body, and that power merged into the earth. The six burial items beside the emperor were influenced by the emperor's true energy, granting them awareness.

"Do you understand now?

"From start to finish, the power of the human emperor came solely from himself and not from the ritualistic weapons. The ritualistic weapons forged for battling the divine emperor, based on Amulet Glory, were ultimately destroyed.

"Fortunately, the emperor's power was preserved in this manner. This is what I meant when I said the power should belong to you and not be confined within the ritualistic weapons.

"Do you understand what I mean?"
