Yun Che stumbled out of the Pure Land Inner Hall, his feet feeling as if they were tied to a thousand-pound boulder, making each step feel incredibly heavy. Mo Su's words were like a pair of invisible giant hands, weighing heavily on his heart, adding an endless amount of pressure to him out of nowhere.

In reality, even without Mo Su's words, Yun Che would have tried his best to save Pan Xiaodie. But before that, he still had some hesitation in his heart, considering his next retreat. However, Mo Su's resolute words completely blocked this last retreat, leaving no room for maneuver.

Yun Che's heart had never been filled with such a heavy pressure as it was at this moment.

Thinking back to the past, when the Sky Smiting Devil Emperor returned to the world, his monstrous demonic might made all realms tremble, but the one who stood at the forefront and faced the Sky Smiting Devil Emperor directly was not him.

Yet, he still held onto his fearless courage and took a decisive step forward, not hesitating to risk everything he had, even his life, and using all his strength to finally persuade the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor to surrender. From then on, he was crowned the Son of God who Saviors the World.

At that time, all this was because he was the descendant of the evil god and took on this heavy responsibility from the bottom of his heart. It was a call of mission from deep in his heart.

However, at this moment, this mountain-like pressure was imposed on him by Mo Su without any explanation. Behind this pressure was the unknown future of the divine world and the abyss, and it was a heavy choice that could rewrite the fate of countless lives.

"Boy Yun, you scared the old man, but I never thought you could come out safe and sound. There has never been such a precedent in facing Emperor Yuan alone." The face of the priest Liu Xiao was full of surprise.

The four great priests never left and remained waiting outside the inner hall of the Pure Land.

“What’s wrong? Judging from your expression, you seem to have encountered some difficult problem?” Looking at Yun Che’s face filled with gloom, the Six-Laughing Priest consciously restrained his smile.

“Uncle Liuxiao, you’re right. Perhaps I am the one who can change the outcome of the Abyss. But for some reason, right now, my heart feels as if a thousand-pound weight has been pressed down on it, making it hard to breathe.” Yun Che raised his eyes and looked at Priest Liuxiao. “If I don’t have the ability to make the Abyss Emperor let go of his obsession, then don’t you think I would be the greatest sinner in this world?”

The four great priests looked at each other, their faces filled with unspeakable bitterness.

"It seems you already know Emperor Yuan's ultimate plan..." A subtle surprise flashed across the face of the Great Desolate Priest, but it was quickly replaced by a dignified expression. "Actually, you don't need to feel too much pressure. If it weren't for you, even this tiny glimmer of hope wouldn't exist. The final outcome would be the same. It's just that now you have the opportunity to change it."

The fact that Yun Che was able to appear safely and learn of Emperor Yuan's intentions meant that Xiao Huang had awakened!

For the Great Wilderness Priest, this news was like a ray of light breaking through the haze, and it was simply great news.

The look he gave Yun Che became increasingly gentle, filled with inexpressible gratitude. He secretly etched Yun Che's kindness into his heart, never to be forgotten. This kindness, like a heavenly gift, gave him and Xiao Huang endless hope.

The words of the Great Desolate Priest were like a heavy hammer, slamming Yun Che awake. How could he not understand the truth behind this? However, when this moment truly arrived, anyone would inevitably fall into a quagmire of confusion and hesitation.

“Great Wilderness Priest, do you really not have even a trace of attachment or emotion left towards this world? You allowed Emperor Yuan to commit such a crazy act, and have you never thought of stopping him?” Yun Che was unwilling to give up, but he still asked without giving up.

After all, from his observation, the four people including the Great Wilderness Priest did not seem to be assimilated by the extreme ideas of Emperor Yuan.

“Yun Che, there are some things that we can’t stop, not because we want to, but because we simply can’t. The Abyss’s Wheel of Time is already on the verge of complete collapse, and this world has finally come to an end. What can we do to turn the tide?” The Great Desolate Priest sighed, and that sigh was filled with helplessness and frustration, as if it carried all the vicissitudes of life in the world.

“In fact, even if you finally succeed, the impact of the Black Tide of Time cannot be eradicated. All you can do is delay the destruction of the Abyss for thousands of years.” The priest Wan Dao spoke in a calm tone, without any trace of sadness or joy, as if he was stating an established and unchangeable fact.

“But at least this will allow the Abyssal Civilization to continue. Given time, perhaps there will be a chance to return to the God Realm, right?” Yun Che’s eyes were blazing, his words filled with hope for the future.

"You are right, this is exactly what we expect. Otherwise, the world of abyss will probably disappear forever in the vast river of history." The Great Wilderness Priest nodded in response.

"Wait!" Priest Liu Xiao seemed to have suddenly grasped something crucial, and excitedly shook Yun Che's shoulders. "You just said 'God Realm'? Yun Che, are you really from the current Realm of the Gods?"

To him, this answer seemed to carry countless obsessions and desires.

At this point, Yun Che knew that there was no need to hide his identity any longer, so he nodded slightly in confirmation.

“Does the Ten Directions Canglan Realm still exist? Also, do you know a woman named Cang Yuyao?” Priest Liu Xiao’s eyes gleamed with anticipation. Although he already had a premonition in his heart, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that Yun Che could give him a perfect answer as he wished.

“Uncle Liu Xiao, I’m afraid I have to disappoint you. The Ten Directions Canglan Realm is indeed still ruled by the Cang family, but in my memory, there is no one named Cang Yuyao.” Yun Che said slowly with an apologetic look on his face.

"Hahaha, a true god... extinct... naturally she would..." Priest Six Laughs laughed like a madman, his laughter full of self-mockery and sorrow. "How could I be so naive, so childish..."

He seemed to be trapped in some unspeakable painful memories, and his body was trembling slightly.

“Yun Che, the Mist Emperor who appeared with you was actually you, right?” The Spiritual Immortal Priest stared at Yun Che with a sharp gaze, his words filled with unquestionable questioning.

At this moment, the prophecy of the heavens flashed through her mind again like lightning. The phrase "unprecedented changes from the heavens" seemed to carry some kind of mysterious power, clearly reflected in front of her eyes, and everything was pointing to Yun Che.

Yun Che did not deny it, because he knew in his heart that since Mo Su had informed the four great priests of the final plan, he would naturally tell them these things as well. Moreover, since he had already passed the test of Mo Su, the secret of his own identity was no longer so important at this moment.

He looked calm and nodded slightly, agreeing with the Lingxian priest's guess.

The only problem was that he hadn't figured out how to explain this to Hua Caili yet...
