"The Celestial Venerable and the First Demon Lord of that time are related by blood!"
The Heavenly Emperor revealed this secret to Song Xiwei, a secret no one else knew.
Upon hearing this, Song Xiwei was somewhat surprised, "How did you know about this?"
Logically speaking, even if the Heavenly Venerable entrusted the Heavenly Emperor with important responsibilities, he would not tell him such a private matter.
"Naturally, it was the Celestial Venerable who was discovered by me unintentionally. This is absolutely true. That Demon Lord is indeed the Celestial Venerable's son. All these years, the Celestial Venerable has seemingly been supporting me, but in reality, he has never abandoned his only offspring. I am nothing more than a pawn..."
At this point, the Heavenly Emperor seemed to remember something and hurriedly said to Song Xiwei, "By the way, didn't you and Yi Hai pledge your lives to each other 100,000 years ago? Yi Hai should have already obtained a portion of your divine power, but at that time you were only an avatar and had not merged with the main body of the God, so Yi Hai's goal could not be achieved, and he could only let you reincarnate..."
Song Xiwei's face darkened slightly. "Continue."
"I've heard that in the past few years, you've left the Void Gate and spent your days and nights with that Demon Lord in the Demon Realm. Do you really think that the opportunity you and he have in this life is not something that has been secretly manipulated or intentionally arranged by someone?" the Heavenly Emperor added.
Song Xiwei countered, "You mean, the Heavenly Venerable deliberately arranged for me and Aoqian to meet? To create an opportunity for us?"
"Otherwise what? First, you released the chaos of the Six Realms, prophesying that Aoqian would become the calamity of the Six Realms. Then you instructed someone to go to your dimensional gate, and by a twist of fate, you were asked to help the demons out of trouble. In the process, you also rescued the lonely and helpless Aoqian. You truly deserve to be called the God Lord, with a compassionate heart. How could you not care about him? It is normal that you and he developed feelings for each other during your time together."
The Heavenly Emperor calmly recounted how Song Xiwei and Ao Qian met.
"So, the large-scale siege of Aoqian by the Celestial Clan a few years ago was also a show put on for me?" Song Xi frowned slightly.
The Heavenly Emperor's expression was not good. "During that siege, if you hadn't been so murderous and defeated so many of my generals, Aoqian would have been eliminated in the chaos. I can only say that you are indeed worthy of being the son of the Heavenly Venerable; your life was not meant to end."
"So, you and the Celestial Venerable had a long-standing disagreement? It was because you learned that Aoqian's true identity was the Celestial Venerable's son, and you were worried that the Celestial Venerable could have Aoqian replace you at any time. So, you deliberately used that siege as a pretext to actually want to massacre Aoqian? It's just a pity that I saved him later, ruining your plans, right?"
Song Xiwei was still very annoyed when the topic came up again.
The Heavenly Emperor is by no means innocent.
"I am merely a puppet supported by the Celestial Venerable. I appear to enjoy boundless glory, but in reality, I have no dignity whatsoever. In his presence, I am less than a dog. My offspring, the people I love, he can sacrifice at will, and I dare not utter a single complaint. But Aoqian, it seems the Celestial Venerable is using him as a pawn to lure you, but in reality, every action taken by the Celestial Realm is authorized by the Celestial Venerable, and he must not be harmed in the slightest. Even my most beloved Seventh Princess was sent to the Demon Realm to curry favor with Aoqian at the Celestial Venerable's behest. Even a tiger doesn't eat its own cub; after all, that is his son. How could he not think of his son's well-being..."
At this point, the Heavenly Emperor's eyes reddened as he looked at Song Xiwei and asked, "Now that you have regained your full divine power, you must be wary of Aoqian. You absolutely cannot be with him. He has the blood of the Heavenly Venerable flowing through his veins. Like his father, his ultimate goal in getting close to you is to drain all your divine power for their own use. I'm telling you this great secret, just to ask for your mercy and spare my life..."
"At first glance, it seems like you really care about me, but upon closer inspection, aren't you just trying to sow discord?" Song Xi shook her head slightly, showing no sign of being fooled.
The Heavenly Emperor looked surprised. "You don't believe what I'm saying? You don't believe the true relationship between the Heavenly Venerable and the Demon Lord?"
