“…” Shui Meiyin’s words fell into Yun Che’s ears, giving him a vague sense of familiarity.
It seemed that at some time in the past, there was someone who said something similar to him.
He smiled lightly, his gentleness carrying a hint of dark coldness: "To become the rule maker... My purpose of coming back is not just for revenge."
Looking at the dim light in Yun Che's eyes, Shui Meiyin nodded heavily. There were still tears in her eyes, but her smile was blooming incomparably bright.
Not only was Yun Che safe and sound, not only had he become far more powerful than she had expected, not only was he in command of the entire Northern Divine Region... even the state of his soul was far, far better than she had expected.
Over the years, the things she worried about the most were, one, Yun Che completely falling into darkness and losing all his humanity in hatred, and the other, his determination to die with revenge as strong as his desire for revenge...
But neither of these two things... What Chi Wuyao said to her before was really not just to comfort her.
His soul and will have already become much stronger.
"What is the secret? Why can't you tell it?" Qianye Ying'er's cold voice suddenly pierced: "Do naive women like to use such low-level means as hiding things to keep men hanging?"
“Shut up.” Yun Che scolded her calmly.
When he was being hunted by everyone, only Liu Guangjie and Shui Meiyin took the huge risk of being implicated to take him in and protect him.
He returned to the Eastern Divine Region and brought down the dark disaster. As a person from the Eastern Divine Region, Shui Meiyin should have fought against him, but at the best time, she took out the Illusionary Heart Glazed Shadow Jade that she had prepared for him long ago, which helped to clear his name in the entire God Realm and also broke the faith of countless profound practitioners.
He had never given Shui Meiyin even the slightest favor or effort, including emotional return. Even the marriage contract was forced upon him by Mu Xuanyin.
But he has always received her unreserved devotion and heart... no matter if it spans three thousand years, no matter if he is a man or a demon, no matter if he is peaceful or cruel.
To others, this may seem too silly, ridiculous, or even a little unreasonable.
But, it is such a great blessing to have such a beauty in life.
It's like a star... that belongs to him alone and is willing to shine forever for him without any reason.
After experiencing complete darkness and despair, his cherishment for the girl in front of him has filled every corner of his heart and soul.
"Hmph!" Qianye Ying'er turned around and didn't even look at the two of them.
Shui Meiyin's starry eyes blinked. In just a few years, Qianye Ying'er had obviously changed a lot from the Brahma Monarch Goddess back then... in many aspects.
“Brother Yun Che, I really didn’t mean to hide this from you, but… there is a very important reason.” She still explained very briefly, and then said with a smile: “However, Senior Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is really very good to Brother Yun Che. Before she left, she secretly did a lot of things for Brother Yun Che.”
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded… How could it be bad? Both daughters were in his hands.
Whether it was the Evil God or the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, this couple was undoubtedly the greatest god and the greatest demon.
Unfortunately, the world is not worthy.
Without asking Shui Meiyin any more questions or forcing her, Yun Che turned his gaze and asked Chi Wuyao, “Why are you two together?”
“Why not?” Chi Wuyao asked with a smile, “Xiao Meiyin and I are old acquaintances.”
“Old acquaintance?” Yun Che frowned slightly… and then he suddenly thought of the time when Shui Meiyin first came to the Snow Song Realm and saw Mu Xuanyin, the obviously strange look in her eyes.
“She noticed my presence at first sight.” Chi Wuyao said slowly and quietly, “But fortunately, she didn’t say it out loud. After that, your engagement with Xiao Meiyin was also my decision.”
She curved her eyes and said, "How can I let someone else have such a pretty and scary little girl?"
"~! @#￥%..." The Eclipsers who had been guarding on one side had their eyes twitching and their scalps tingling. It was not right to leave, and it was not right not to leave.
The circle of the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen...
It's weird.
Chi Wuyao smiled charmingly, but a deep doubt quietly lingered in her heart.
The pure soul can sense her nirvana demon soul.
And her Nirvana Demon Soul can also sense Shui Meiyin's pure soul to some extent.
When Shui Meiyin was telling Yun Che everything, the fluctuations in her soul... were really too strange.
She couldn't even imagine what kind of complicated emotions would cause such fluctuations in the soul.
What is she hiding?
Why hide it?
"Ahem," Shui Qianheng coughed lightly. After brewing his emotions for a long time, he finally spoke out, "Demon Lord, we are here to ask for a favor."
Yun Che turned his head and said calmly, “I will never forget the kindness Senior Shui showed me. Senior Shui, if you have any requests, feel free to ask, except… begging for mercy!”
Shui Qianheng's expression froze slightly.
Shui Yingyue stepped forward and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "We from the Liuguang Realm are not here to beg for mercy. Instead, we hope that the Demon Lord can give the Eastern Divine Region a chance."
“Give the Eastern Divine Region a chance?” Yun Che’s mouth curled up in a low, cold laugh. His originally gentle voice suddenly became icy and piercing: “Who gave me a chance back then?”
He turned around, not even looking at Shui Yingyue, and said, "No matter how the Eastern Divine Region changes, it will not affect your Glazed Light Realm! I will repay your kindness many times over. But if you want me to let the Eastern Divine Region go..."
"Ha!" He said in a low voice and coldly: "Your kindness is not so great that it can make me forget my dead parents, wife and daughter!"
His cold words left no room for leeway.
Without waiting for Shui Qianheng and Shui Yingyue to respond, he slightly tilted his eyes and suddenly said coldly: "Could it be that the distinguished guest from Futian Realm is also here to beg for mercy?"
As his voice fell, there was a brief silence, and then two more figures fell side by side on the Soul Sky ship.
It was Lu Zhou, the King of Futian Realm, and Lu Lengchuan, the Young Master of Futian Realm.
In this disaster in the Eastern Divine Region, the Futian Realm was not affected.
It was not because the Futian Realm, which was the strongest three-star realm in the Eastern Divine Region along with the Shengyu Realm and Liuguang Realm, was too powerful, but Yun Che clearly remembered that when they were on the edge of chaos, Lu Zhou had once spoken for him under great pressure.
Although it was very soft... he was extremely angry at the time and still heard it clearly.
"Lu Zhou from Futian Realm pays homage to the Demon Lord of the Northern Territory."
Lu Zhou bent down, and Lu Lengchuan beside him also saluted respectfully.
Yun Che turned around and accepted the greetings from the father and son. “King Lu Jie had spoken for me in the past, and I will never forget that. Brother Lu and I also had a small friendship. If you are a guest, I will welcome you. If you are begging for mercy... don’t blame this Demon Lord for turning hostile!”
Lu Zhou raised his head, a look of surprise on his face.
Yun Che actually heard the words that he blurted out when his chest was about to burst, and he still remembers them to this day.
It can be seen that he is a very loyal person in his heart.
Lu Lengchuan's gaze was much more complicated.
Back then, he and Yun Che had a fierce battle on the Conferred God Arena. In the end, he was at a huge disadvantage and sincerely admitted defeat, giving the victory to Yun Che.
He had gone through three thousand years of Eternal Heaven to become a Divine Lord, while Yun Che had not yet entered the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, but had become a Demon Lord who commanded the Northern Territory and made all the worlds tremble. Looking back now, the battle with Yun Che that year could be regarded as the most glorious moment in his life.
"No, the Demon Lord has misunderstood," Lu Zhou said, "We came here at the invitation of the King of Liuguang Realm to join the Demon Lord."
“Hmm?” Yun Che narrowed his eyes and stared straight into Lu Zhou’s. He found that his gaze was clear and sincere.
“Heh,” Yun Che laughed softly, and said, “Did I hear correctly? As one of the three great star realms in the Eastern Divine Region, when the Eastern Divine Region encountered the devil’s calamity, your Futian Realm actually surrendered to a demon like me?”
"Could it be that the blood spilled all over the Eastern Divine Region, and the 'unacceptable' in us,
Dark power, have you forgotten it? ! "
Lu Zhou’s eyes remained calm. He met Yun Che’s gaze and said, “The blood of the Eastern Divine Region not only cleansed the land, but also the faith and soul.”
"Whether the dark profound energy is tolerated by the world is determined not by the so-called heavenly way, but by the rule makers!" His eyes were blazing: "If the Demon Lord becomes the new Lord of the God Realm and the new rule maker, then with just one word from the Demon Lord, the dark profound energy will no longer be a sin, but a supreme glory!"
Yun Che: “…”
“And the future Lord of the God Realm chosen by Futian Realm…” Lu Zhou’s gaze became more focused. Since he had been persuaded and made a decision, he would not hesitate or regret it: “It is Demon Lord Yun Che.”
Yun Che frowned slightly, staring straight at Lu Zhou: "Aren't you afraid... that this Demon Lord will drag you into the abyss of Futian Realm forever!?"
"In life, we always have to face and make choices. Once we make a choice, we will never regret it." Lu Zhou said: "Moreover, this matter is not just a choice for us in Futian Realm, it is also... repaying gratitude and atonement."
Yun Che turned his head and looked at Shui Qianheng and Shui Yingyue: "Is it the same in the Glazed Light Realm?"
"Yes." Shui Yingyue replied: "This time, the Eternal Sky Projection not only announced the truth of that year, but also, for the first time in the history of the Eastern Divine Region, truly shook the world's perception of darkness. I think the world will not be too surprised by our choice, and at the same time, many star realms and many realm kings will have similar thoughts as us."
“Hahahaha!” Yun Che suddenly burst into laughter. “As expected of you, you are the King of the Glazed Light Realm and the King of the Heavenly Fusion Realm. I have to admit that your way of ‘begging for mercy’ is really brilliant. What a pity… The person I want to kill must die even if he kneels in front of me and smashes his head!!”
Shui Yingyue and Lu Zhou held their breath at the same time.
“Brother Yun Che…” Shui Meiyin whispered softly.
Yun Che suddenly raised his eyes and said to Chi Wuyao, “You brought them here using the Soul Skyflight. Could it be that you agree with their request for mercy?”
“Of course.” Facing Yun Che’s gaze, Chi Wuyao answered without hesitation, with a faint smile on her lips.
“…” Yun Che looked at her and said nothing. He knew that Chi Wuyao would definitely give him an answer that would satisfy him… Especially since she knew best how much he hated the Eastern Divine Region.
“The people below must either obey the decision of the rule maker or be judged or even annihilated. They really have no choice. So…” Chi Wuyao’s eyes flashed with a dark light, and every word was filled with murderous intent: “The king realms that participated in it back then should be annihilated or even slaughtered.”
“But below the king realm, we can indeed give them a chance to make a new choice.” Chi Wuyao smiled faintly: “There is still the Southern Divine Region and the Western Divine Region ahead. We need a lot of corpses and running dogs to pave the way, don’t we?”
Clearly, he was helping them, and clearly, he was giving the Eastern Divine Region a chance. But Chi Wuyao’s words sent chills down the spines of Shui Qianheng and his daughter, and Lu Zhou and his son.
Yun Che’s eyes moved slightly, and then he suddenly fell silent.
In the silence, his memory went back to the time when he was in the Illusory Demon Realm...
Back then, when the Little Demon Queen obtained the power of the Golden Crow and regained control of the Illusory Demon Realm, she slaughtered all nine clans of King Huai. However… during the hundred years of turbulence in the Illusory Demon Realm, as many as 60% of the royal family and guardian families defected to King Huai’s lineage.
The crime of treason should be committed by the entire family.
But if this were to happen, the Illusory Demon Realm would be severely damaged and fall into a long period of chaos, and it would take many years to recover. Many of the top inheritances would even disappear forever from the history of the Illusory Demon Realm.
If she forgives them, she will be sorry for the dead Demon King and the Little Demon King, and even more sorry for her own sacrifice and those loyal guardian families and the Phantom Demon Royal Family.
And her final choice... Yun Che witnessed the whole process.
“That’s right.” After a long silence, Yun Che spoke slowly, as if he was talking to himself, as if he was reading out his final verdict: “I should indeed give the Eastern Divine Region a chance to choose again.”
With every additional word he spoke, the corners of his mouth widened a little. When he finished speaking, the smile on his face did not show mercy, but a kind of... eeriness that made people's hearts palpitate.
