"The Lord of Heaven?" The Heavenly Emperor suddenly smiled bitterly.
The Heavenly Emperor rarely reveals his true thoughts.
Si Ming dared not even breathe loudly.
"I am probably the most pathetic ruler of the Heavenly Realm in history." The Heavenly Emperor's eyes revealed a hint of pain, as if a long-unhealed wound had been torn open, making him appear extremely vulnerable.
"His Majesty……"
Si Ming really didn't know what to say, and just wanted to minimize his presence as much as possible.
He was always dutiful and never overstepped his bounds. He performed his duties in the heavenly realm without bias or favoritism. Unlike other officials who fawned over the Heavenly Emperor, he always maintained his own stance. He was respectful when necessary, but he never delegated matters that were within his purview to others, nor did he accept bribes from others.
In fact, every now and then, various kinds of divine officials would come to see the Director of Fate.
It's nothing more than the priests' relatives being sent down to the mortal realm, and they need the help of the God of Fate to take care of them.
However, Si Ming always had his own rules and did not accept bribes; instead, he handled matters strictly according to the law.
This actually offended many priests in secret, but because he never took sides, these grievances were offset.
Si Ming believed that it was probably his uprightness and integrity that earned him the Heavenly Emperor's special favor.
Because each time the Heavenly Emperor came, he only asked to see some news about that person; other than that, the Heavenly Emperor never asked the God of Fate for anything else.
This was the first time something like this had happened. Seeing that the Heavenly Emperor seemed somewhat agitated, Si Ming didn't dare to speculate on what the Heavenly Emperor was planning to do.
"In this vast Heavenly Palace, I seem to have everything, yet I have nothing at all." The Heavenly Emperor's voice was filled with boundless loneliness.
"If only I had been braver 80,000 years ago, and hadn't so cowardly accepted my fate," the Heavenly Emperor said, his voice trembling slightly with pain.
Si Ming still didn't know how to respond, so he simply acted as a listener who wouldn't interrupt the Heavenly Emperor.
The Heavenly Emperor had probably been keeping these thoughts to himself for too long; he had never actually mentioned them to anyone.
For some reason, I blurted everything out to Si Ming today.
"You were already the Star Lord of Destiny before I became the Heavenly Emperor. Back then, you probably knew what would happen next through the Destiny Chart. I cowardly hid behind her sacrifice and became the Heavenly Emperor for 80,000 years, but the result still couldn't be changed. The Heavenly Realm would still decline, only 80,000 years later than before. 80,000 years, but I had to exchange it for all the love of my life..."
The Heavenly Emperor finally broke down and wept silently.
Si Ming was one of the few people who knew about what happened back then.
However, the matter was too complicated for him to comment on.
Regarding this Heavenly Emperor, who was extremely patient yet seemingly ruthless, he actually thought that, compared to previous Heavenly Emperors, he was not bad; at least in terms of reputation, he was respectable.
Recently, various sectors have been stirring up trouble, as if a dark hand is secretly overthrowing everything.
The entire Six Realms were plunged into unprecedented turmoil.
If the Heavenly Emperor, as the ruler of the Heavenly Realm, lacks even this basic level of awareness, what qualifications does he have to be the Heavenly Emperor?
Multiple sources confirm that this calamity cannot be averted.
This calamity is simply a matter of time being delayed compared to 80,000 years ago.
The judgment and prophecy are exactly the same.
The sacrifices of that year only further proved that they were meaningless.
If she were still alive, she could have lived at least another 60,000 years, and at least it wouldn't have become a permanent regret...
After the Heavenly Emperor left the Hall of Fate, the Heavenly Consort Ye Wanqing rushed in and questioned the Fate Master, "Your Majesty always sneaks into the Hall of Fate, what secrets does he hold!"
Si Ming always handled matters strictly by the book, and Ye Wanqing, though seemingly gentle, had a very strange and unpredictable temperament.
She had come to see Si Ming before, but Si Ming had sent her away.
This time, the moment I saw her glaring at me, I knew she wouldn't be easy to deal with.
