Chapter 1975: Ancient Demonic Sound

During this period, Chi Wuyao has been trying her best to find out what the space artifact in Mo Beichen's memory is. (Due to cache reasons, please visit the .\nCOM website directly in your browser to watch the fastest chapter update)

The abnormal restlessness and pain of the Nirvana Demon Soul made her extremely certain that the spatial artifact was at the cognitive level of a Demon Emperor, and was an extremely powerful and extraordinary existence.

It also proves... that it is very likely related to the ancient demon clan.

However, before Yun Che went to the abyss, she was too late to get the most accurate answer and could only give him a warning.

“Okay.” Seeing Yun Che’s extremely solemn agreement, Chi Wuyao nodded slightly, and then slowly said the last thing he had to agree to:

"The third thing..."

Snow lightly raised her hand and took Yun Che's wrist. In his slightly surprised eyes, she placed her fingers on the center of her brows.

"I want you to read all my memories of my life!"

Yun Che’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and he abruptly withdrew his hand, saying without the slightest hesitation: “No! This is absolutely not possible!”

Human nature is complex, changeable, and unpredictable.

No matter how great and noble a person is, his humanity has a dark side, and his memory contains secrets and filth that are unknown to others and that he does not want others to know.

No one, even when facing the person who is closest to them and whom they trust the most, would be willing to let the other person know all of their memories in detail.

Yun Che subconsciously shook off his hand, but in the next moment, Chi Wuyao grasped it again.

She was not surprised by Yun Che’s reaction. She looked at Yun Che with her devilish eyes, her gaze as calm as the eternally silent sky: “I hope that the one who agrees to these three things is not Yun Che, but Emperor Yun!”

"The Cloud Emperor decides the fate of the entire world with his fingers!"

"The emperor's determination should put aside all selfishness and personal feelings!"

“…” Yun Che stood there, his palm no longer able to dodge.

Chi Wuyao said softly, “Growth doesn’t happen overnight. Even the Divine Emperors like Zhou Xuzi, Nan Wansheng, and Qi Tianli, who have experienced tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years of vicissitudes, have their own narrow-mindedness and flaws. And you, although you are an emperor of one generation, and although you have experienced countless ups and downs in your life, but... after all, you only have half a century of experience.”

"But I have to go alone, to fight alone against an abyss that is a million times more dangerous than the present world."

"As the empress of this world, I have an unshirkable obligation to use even the most extreme methods to make you grow in the shortest possible time."

At this moment, Chi Wuyao’s voice suddenly slowed down: “Everyone in the Northern Divine Region knows that I was born as a girl from an ordinary family. I grew up in the lowest level of the Northern Divine Region, in a dark swamp where even the dark beasts were too lazy to hunt.”

"But in the end, I became one of the three emperors who ruled the Northern Divine Region step by step. Today, I am the empress who controls the entire Divine Realm."

"Among all the women in the world, there is no one better than me."

Chi Wuyao’s eyes slowly dropped, no longer meeting Yun Che’s gaze: “Compared to him, what I have experienced in my life is beyond the imagination and comparison of any other woman.”

"There are countless difficulties, dangers, and desperate situations, countless dilemmas and painful decisions, and what I want you to see most is... the methods used in dealing with various people and situations."

Chi Wuyao continued, “Many of these methods are cruel, brutal, and dirty enough to surpass the limits of your imagination. Especially... deep down, you are a person who values feelings very much, while I am the one who is best at taking advantage of feelings. Even if it is a benefactor who saved my life or a mentor who taught me, I will trample on them without hesitation.”

Yun Che: “…”

The demon's eyes closed slightly, and a faint voice murmured: "After feeling what I have experienced in my life, you may feel disgusted with me, but no matter what..."

“No.” Yun Che interrupted her and shook his head without any hesitation: “You are the empress of all ages, and even more so my concubine. You and I have long been inseparable. Your past life is also a part of my life. How could I possibly ‘dislike’ you?”

Chi Wuyao raised her eyes and smiled slightly: "If that's the case, you have even less reason to refuse."

As soon as she finished speaking, she twisted her snow-white wrist, causing Yun Che's palm to gently cover her forehead, and her pair of demon pupils suddenly released an endless, pure, and deep dark soul light.

Yun Che’s five fingers subconsciously retracted, but it only lasted for a moment before he stopped trying to resist. Instead, he took a deep breath, then closed his eyes and concentrated his mind, allowing his consciousness to be drawn into the soul sea that Chi Wuyao had completely opened to him.

Chi Wuyao's life was filled with endless ups and downs, and she poured into his world without reservation.

Just as she said, growth does not happen overnight. Although Yun Che is already the Cloud Emperor, his experience is still too shallow. In this world, she has always been the one actually in control.

In another world, he has no one by his side. How can he face the vast abyss all alone?

And what she had experienced in her life was the most brutal thing she could think of to force him to grow up.

She couldn't predict how effective this method would be. This kind of forced growth might not be true growth at all. But at least, when he faces different situations in the future, he might be able to learn from her experience and choose the corresponding coping methods.

When should you show weakness to your enemy?

When should I be cruel and heartless...

When to be deceitful...

When should we be “sincere”…

When should we advance, when should we retreat, when should we turn our companions who we shared life and death with into flesh and blood to shield us from the arrows...

As for her greatest skill of spying on and controlling people’s hearts, this was definitely not something that could be easily “transferred”. In such a short period of time, Yun Che was able to truly understand one percent of it, which was enough for Chi Wuyao.

Three days passed.

But to Yun Che, it seemed like he had lived an extremely long life.

Finally, at a certain moment, he opened his eyes, and then he stared at Chi Wuyao blankly for a long time without moving, and even forgot to remove his palm from between Chi Wuyao’s eyebrows.

No matter how detailed and elaborate the historical records and descriptions of others are, they are far inferior to seeing it with one's own eyes and feeling it personally.

Chi Wuyao came from a very humble background, but she gradually became the most powerful Demon Queen in the world during the most deplorable era in the Northern Divine Region. Her experiences were so devastating that even the collapse of thousands of mountains and the raging waves were not enough to describe even a fraction of them.

What shocked Yun Che the most for a long time was her thousands of tricks and schemes.

It seemed as if there were always countless dark magic threads on her body, silently entwining every living being that appeared in her world.

No one can escape.

He realized more clearly than ever that if Chi Wuyao had not chosen to become his Demon Queen, but had simply used him as a chess piece...

…………

She is his queen of magic, so there are no ifs.

“The time is about the same as I estimated.” Chi Wuyao slowly opened her eyes and looked at Yun Che who had been in a daze. “In the next few days, try to digest as much as possible that may be useful to you. I will give orders so that no one can disturb you.”

After saying this, she averted her gaze and silently turned around, ready to leave.

Her voice was very calm and peaceful, but in fact, the anxiety in her heart was several times greater than she had expected.

The unscrupulous means she used in those years were truly beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Anyone who witnessed even the slightest bit of it would feel extremely afraid of her.

Before doing all this, she had prepared herself for Yun Che to feel disgusted and fearful of her because of this. But at this moment, all her previous psychological preparations completely collapsed...

She asked Yun Che to digest the situation quietly, but in reality, she was escaping in panic.

The current Chi Wuyao was no longer the invulnerable Demon Queen of the Northern Territory. She had a weakness, and it was a huge one.

But as soon as she took a step, an arm gently embraced her slender waist.

Yun Che hugged her from behind and whispered in her ear: “There is no need for us to thank each other, but you have given me so much... Everything I have now will be my greatest support in the abyss.”

There was a faint mist in her eyes, and the corners of Chi Wuyao's lips moved slightly.

Just this one word is enough.

…………

When Yun Che was left alone to absorb the thought, Chi Wuyao walked out of the Imperial Palace. A cold breeze blew in her face, and her vision blurred.

Actively imparting one's long life memories to others is something that not everyone can do, and it certainly doesn't feel good.

During this process, her soul sea seemed to have been violently stirred and washed. Even for her, Chi Wuyao, there was no way she could completely calm down in a short period of time.

However, her memory is not completely lost.

For example… the child named “Yun Xi” who disappeared with Shen Xi and died at the hands of Long Bai before ever seeing the light of day.

The space beside Chi Wuyao rippled, and a graceful female figure appeared. “Master, you look so pale… Did something happen?”

Huan Jin had been with Chi Wuyao for many years, and she knew that something that could make the Demon Queen, who was as cunning as Ye Yuan, look so abnormal must be something beyond imagination, and she had no choice but to show up and inquire about it.

Chi Wuyao smiled and shook her head: “Don’t worry, it’s just that the sea of soul is churning too violently and it’s hard to calm down for the time being. It’s not an external invasion…hiss!”

Chi Wuyao’s face suddenly showed pain, and her body suddenly leaned forward while shaking.

"Master!?" Huan Jin was horrified and hurried forward to support her.

Chi Wuyao’s face turned pale, and her soul sea seemed to be pierced by countless steel needles.

From the depths of the soul sea filled with great pain, a roar from ancient times suddenly sounded:

"If the Dark Mirror and the Magic Pearl had not been lost, how could this have happened..."

"How could it be so!"

"How could it be so!~~"

The screams were extremely vague and distant, carrying with them endless demonic power that could destroy the world for eternity.

But every sound is sad and every word is hopeless.

Chi Wuyao raised her head suddenly at this moment. She stood up straight and said in a deep voice, “Huanjin, quickly send a message to the Qilin Realm to immediately activate the dimensional profound formation leading to the Dragon God Realm.”

"I must...reread the ancient books of the Dragon God!"
