After a brief reminiscing, Yun Che asked Chi Wuyao, Shui Meiyin, Qianye Ying'er, Xia Qingyue, Mu Xuanyin, and Caizhi to stay with him. He knew that he had a more important matter to address upon his return, and he couldn't afford to indulge in the joy of his return.

"Wuyao, you should be most aware of Jasmine's return. What are your thoughts?" The joy that had just graced Yun Che's face had vanished without a trace, replaced by a deep, solemn expression. In his heart, anything involving Jasmine weighed like a thousand pounds, especially since the circumstances this time were so different from before.

He did not equate Jasmine with the Evil Infant, but simply spoke Jasmine's name.

Jasmine, to Yun Che, is the guide on his life journey.

Because Jasmine returned to the God Realm, Yun Che was able to leave Blue Pole Star, meet countless people, and gain the admiration of many women. Without Jasmine, he might have lived a peaceful life on Blue Pole Star, without experiencing so many ups and downs. But Yun Che was like that. He was persistent and steadfast in his heart. Once he had set his heart on Jasmine, he could not give up, and he could not bear to say goodbye to her forever.

Jasmine will always have a special place in his heart that no one can replace.

“Although I’m unsure of Jasmine’s current condition, after the Evil Infant’s power spilled into the God Realm last time, I knew that her current strength had already reached the realm of a True God. While it still couldn’t compare to the ultimate power of the exterminating gods and demons of ancient times, it had already surpassed the limits of the laws of this world. Such a tremendous power is definitely not something Jasmine can control.” Chi Wuyao spoke slowly, choosing her words carefully, attempting to convey this cruel message to Yun Che in the most gentle way possible.

Although the Demon Queen didn't explicitly state Jasmine's predicament, everyone present could sense a sense of unease in her words. The only one controlling this power now could be the Evil Infant, not Jasmine... This likely meant that Jasmine's consciousness was slowly fading.

Yun Che's expression was focused, as he listened attentively to every word. His face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost, expressionless. However, his hands were unconsciously trembling slightly, and his heart was in turmoil. Although he had already heard this statement from Qianye Ying'er, now that the Demon Queen had confirmed it, his heart felt like it was being gripped by an invisible hand, and a wrenching pain spread throughout his body.

Qianye Ying'er, standing aside, had a worried look on her face and bit her lip slightly; Shui Meiyin looked nervous, her hands unconsciously clenched, as if this could help her grasp a glimmer of hope.

Everyone was enveloped in this heavy atmosphere, and the hall was filled with depression and uneasiness.

"No, it won't. My sister's will must still be there. Have you forgotten that it was because of me that Qianye Ying'er escaped danger six months ago?" Caizhi eagerly stepped forward, her face brimming with determination. She had always believed that her sister had not been replaced by the Evil Infant. That aura six months ago was clearly Jasmine's; she couldn't be mistaken. Caizhi believed that even if Jasmine truly transformed into the Evil Infant, she would still recognize her as her sister.

"Caizhi, you're right. Jasmine's will does still exist. She is the Evil Infant's master, and they have signed a master-servant contract. Theoretically, this relationship won't change, and the power of the contract won't diminish over time. But—" Chi Wuyao frowned slightly, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.

"The Evil Infant's spirit is the spirit of the Xuantian Supreme Treasure, a special existence that transcends all rules of the mortal world. While the master-servant contract might be absolutely unbreakable for a mortal spirit, it might not be effective for the Evil Infant. Furthermore, as her strength gradually recovers, the possibility of her breaking free from the contract will increase." Chi Wuyao expressed her reluctance in the gentlest terms possible.

"Although Jasmine's will still has some effect, it's clear that she's no longer the one controlling this body." Chi Wuyao said this with immense solemnity, each word weighing a thousand pounds. She spoke this cruel news with immense pain.

Upon hearing this, Yun Che's body trembled slightly, and his eyes dimmed instantly.

"My Nirvana Demon Soul holds many memories of the Evil Infant. It's impossible for anyone to control the Evil Infant. Not even the God of Creation could do it, let alone Jasmine..." Chi Wuyao's words practically sentenced Jasmine to death. Though cruel, she had to say it, as the time until the next Evil Infant's return was not far off.

"But...but...the power of the Xuantian Treasure is far, far weaker than it was in ancient times. Perhaps the Evil Infant can be controlled now?" Shui Meiyin lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the others. Her voice was very soft. She controlled the Qiankun Thorn, a divine spatial artifact, and could sense something strange coming from it, even though it no longer possessed any spirit.

"If it were merely a Divine Lord or Half-Step Divine Annihilation weapon spirit, it would naturally be able to control it. But now that the Evil Infant has recovered to the level of a True God, there's no way it would submit to a mere Divine Lord." Chi Wuyao's words were like a bucket of cold water, mercilessly extinguishing the last glimmer of hope...

Everyone immediately fell silent. The entire hall was filled with depression and dullness, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yun Che.

In this solemn and oppressive atmosphere, Mu Xuanyin and Chi Wuyao could best understand the pain and torment Yun Che was experiencing at the moment.

Back then, Yun Che came to the God Realm with a fervent and resolute belief. He had only one goal, and that was to find Jasmine, talk to her face to face, and pour out the thousands of words in his heart, no matter how many hardships and obstacles he had to endure.

To achieve this goal, he had endured unimaginable hardships! Countless times, he resolutely risked his life to improve his strength, each step a thrilling one, just to achieve his heart's desire: to see Jasmine.
