Blue Pole Star, Azure Cloud Continent, Absolute Cloud Abyss, Dark World...

You'er!

She has the same body shape and appearance as Hong'er. She lives in darkness and depends on darkness. She is a soul... and an incomplete soul.

She and Hong'er did not know each other. Both said that they had never seen each other and did not know who the other was, but they had an extremely magical and mysterious connection.

Yun Che clearly remembered that Hong'er, who had never known what sorrow was, suddenly burst into uncontrollable tears when she first saw You'er... and then burst into tears.

When Jasmine was shaping his body, she told him that "the body is born from the soul", and that the body shape and appearance are determined by the soul.

Everything is so consistent...

"That's right." The Ice Phoenix girl gave him a positive response: "The demon soul that was severed from the Evil God's daughter is the half-soul girl you met in the dark abyss of the Azure Cloud Continent."

“…” Yun Che’s chest swelled up high, and it took a long time before it fell heavily.

Hong'er and You'er... they were actually "split" from one person... they are the daughters of the Evil God and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor!

When Hong'er first met him, she clung to him and couldn't let go. When You'er first met him, she showed a strong sense of closeness and dependence on him... Yun Che thought at this moment that perhaps it was the instinct of their souls, a kind of perception of the divine power in him.

After all, that was her...their father's power.

“Hong’er… You’er…” Yun Che muttered in a low voice, the turmoil in his heart was beyond words.

“You’er?” The Ice Phoenix girl exclaimed softly. When she read Yun Che’s memories that year, Yun Che had not yet named You’er: “Did you give her a new name? That is indeed a name that fits her perfectly. She is the daughter of the Heretic God and the Devil Emperor, and has the most noble birth, but she can only exist in the world like a ghost all her life, and will never see the light of day. Sigh…”

The Ice Phoenix girl sighed, and it was unclear whether she was sighing for the evil god or for Hong'er and You'er.

Perhaps ordinary people cannot imagine that even a powerful creator like the God of Creation would have such great sorrow and helplessness.

Hong'er at least still had a complete body and soul. She had parents who doted on her and was the darling of the entire clan. Now she was also dependent on Yun Che, with no worries about food or sleep, and no worries.

And Youer...

“You’er should be another hope left by the Heretic God.” Yun Che said with deep emotion: “The seed of darkness in me was given by You’er. I think that before the Heretic God fell and condensed the immortal blood, he went to that dark world to visit You’er and left the seed of darkness to her on purpose. The purpose was to guide the successor of the Heretic God’s power… that is, I can find her, and also to let the returning Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor know of her existence.”

When he was alive, the evil god never dared to go to the "Jueyun Abyss" of the Blue Pole Star to visit You'er. After the gods and demons were annihilated, he could finally see his daughter again... Behind this wish, there was also great sorrow.

At that time, the evil god did not know that his "other" daughter was still alive. Before he fell, he must have carried with him the pain and self-blame of his "other" daughter's death.

“I see.” The Ice Phoenix girl sighed, “The Evil God… is truly the greatest god. Even though he has been let down by fate, he still cares about future generations and all living things.”

He gave up the title of the God of Creation, but ultimately could not give up his original heart. He truly deserves the word "great".

“Ice Phoenix Divine Spirit,” Yun Che suddenly asked, “As a Divine Spirit of the Divine Race, why do you not hate or reject the ‘Devil’? For example, you clearly know that I have the dark profound power, so why do you…”

In ancient times, the gods and demons were absolutely opposed and even hostile to each other. This was evident from the extremely resolute attitude of the God Clan Emperor Mo'e. However, he could sense the slightest repulsion of the dark mystical power from the Ice Phoenix girl.

The Ice Phoenix girl spoke in a deep voice, "Back then, my understanding of 'demons' was no different from that of all gods. I firmly believed that those who possessed dark mystical powers were negative, dirty, and sinful, and were not tolerated by the Way of Heaven. Destroying them all was the right thing to do, and was even the hidden duty of our God Clan."

"But, after experiencing fierce battles, destruction, and survival... in this eternally silent Tianchi where I cannot leave, I can actually wake up and think carefully about everything in the past. Naturally, I can see clearly many things that I couldn't see clearly before."

"The origins of the gods and demons were both created by the Ancestral God, one is yang and the other is yin. Since they both originated from the creation of the Ancestral God, then other than the difference in power, are there really any differences between the two races in essence? If they really shouldn't exist in the world as we have always believed, why did the Ancestral God create the demons at the same time as he created the gods?"

Yun Che: “…”

"Also, there is a fact... a very sad fact, but one that we have to admit." The Ice Phoenix girl's voice slowed down, becoming gentle and sad: "Thinking back to the cause and effect of everything. The culprit that caused the destruction of the Gods and Demons was not the Demons, but..."

As a spirit of the gods, she could never say those last two words or that ironic fact.

Yes… Even though Yun Che knew very little about that ancient era, just from the rumors he had heard, he could tell that the actions of the God Clan were the culprit for the end of the Age of Gods.

This is indeed a great irony.

"Whether a living being is good or evil has nothing to do with the power it carries. It has nothing to do with whether it is a god or a demon, and it has nothing to do with what race it was born into. But in that era, the word 'demon' was twisted into pure evil... and this perception has continued to this day."

Yun Che had always heard about the fate of the Northern Divine Region.

In the God Realm, he never dared to reveal the existence of the dark mysterious power... not even a little bit.

At the Xuanshen Conference, Weihen risked his life to kill Li Jianming... The former went to the Northern Divine Region for revenge, and burned up his lifespan in exchange for the dark power of revenge, while the latter slaughtered his clan and humiliated his wife and daughter because of his own selfish desires...

Who is the devil who deserves to be punished by heaven?

"When a cognition is so deeply rooted that it becomes common sense, it is almost impossible for any power to change it." The Ice Phoenix girl said: "The understanding of 'demon' by all living beings in the world is as universal and ingrained as the understanding that water and fire cannot mix. You really must never reveal this secret."

"With the Dark Seed of the Heretic God, you can perfectly control the Dark Power. [As long as you don't want it to be leaked, it will never be leaked]... Or, it's better for you to completely forget the existence of the Dark Power in your body. In terms of the current understanding of Dark Power, this is a helpless choice you must make."

Yun Che nodded: "I know."

Both Jasmine and Mu Xuanyin had said similar things to him.

Once it’s leaked, it only takes one time to make them lose their footing forever… no exaggeration.

“The power and will of the Heretic God, as well as the love, gratitude, and family affection between him and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor for their still-living daughter, may be enough to overcome the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor’s millions of years of hatred and prevent her from bringing disaster to the world that the Heretic God wants to protect, where his daughter still lives.”

This is the evil god's last wish, and it is also the best outcome the Ice Phoenix Girl could have imagined.

Once the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor returns, he will undoubtedly be the absolute ruler of chaos, and no force can resist or defy him. A ruler full of hatred and violence, and a ruler willing to protect the will of his loved ones and relatives, will lead to completely different situations and outcomes for the world.

"And this hope lies in you."

“Yun Che, I beg you to go and personally face the returning Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor the first time on the day when the Crimson Light completely collapses. This will be accompanied by huge and unpredictable risks, but you are the only hope. This fragile world cannot bear the hatred and anger of a Devil Emperor.”

"Successor of the evil god's power and will, please... become the savior!"

At this point, he already knew the truth about "Scarlet", his "mission" and "hope", and the disaster he would face.

He also learned about Hong'er and You'er's bizarre past and identities.

But at this moment, compared to his previous extremely intense emotional ups and downs, he actually calmed down.

Because what makes people most uneasy and fearful is often not the facts, but the unknown.

“I understand.” Yun Che nodded slowly, his eyes calm and his breathing steady. He did not hesitate for too long, nor did he show the fear and panic that Bing Huang had expected. “I will go.”

"If I succeed, I will indeed become the savior in the eyes of the world. Well... this title is not bad. At least I can gain the gratitude and respect of the world, and I won't be as humble as I am now."

"Even if I fail, with the evil god's heritage in me and Hong'er's existence, I can at least protect myself and the people around me."

"If I hadn't received the inheritance from the evil god, I wouldn't have everything I have today. I might still be a useless person... or even dead. Since I have received such a great favor, I should naturally shoulder the corresponding responsibilities."

"For the sake of others, myself and the kindness, I have no reason not to go."

Yun Che finished speaking and exhaled a breath… Facing a Demon Emperor who had returned from the outer chaos filled with hatred, that was truly an unimaginable scene. It was impossible to predict what would happen.

There was a high possibility that he was destroyed to the point of being completely destroyed before he even had a chance to open his mouth.

"I am very pleased to hear you say so." The Ice Phoenix girl said, "No matter what the final result is, I am extremely grateful and fortunate that there is a person like you in the world, such a hope."

“I also hope that I will not disappoint your expectations.” Yun Che said sincerely.

The evil god left behind his immortal blood to protect future generations. And the Ice Phoenix girl in front of him...she spent her last life trying to protect this world that no longer belonged to her.

"You don't have to put too much pressure on yourself. After all, he is the Demon Emperor. The development of the situation is definitely not something that anyone or any force can control. If you dare to stand in front of the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, you are already saving the entire world. As for the outcome, it is not something you can control, and no one has the right to demand it of you."

Listening to the Ice Phoenix girl’s words of comfort, Yun Che let out a sigh of relief.

"I once said that after you have gained enough enlightenment, I will grant you my last existence and my last divine power. Now you are qualified to do so. However, not now."

“After the return of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, what will happen to this world is my biggest concern for the rest of my life. Please allow me to exist until the day I see the outcome. By then, no matter whether the outcome is good or bad, I will give you everything that is left of me… You don’t need to resist, nor do you need to try to keep me from existing, because after that, I will have nothing to worry about, and my existence will no longer have any meaning or reason.”

“…” Yun Che nodded: “I understand.”

Before a world-destroying catastrophe like the Demon Emperor's return to Chaos, the Ice Phoenix's bestowal of power was really unimportant.

All he could think about now was how to face... a true ancient demon emperor!

“Oh right,” Yun Che suddenly thought of something and asked, “Last time, you said that you had a secret about my master that you wanted to tell me… What was it?”
