Long Bai’s death symbolizes the complete end of an era.
Behind Yun Che, all the Northern Territory profound practitioners had gathered together. When Yun Che turned around, they knelt heavily on their knees, kowtowed and shouted, “Greetings to the Demon Lord!”
Most of them were already exhausted and seriously injured, relying entirely on the dark storm brought about by the demon of disaster to hold on, but this shout was more deafening and heart-shaking than any previous one.
These four short words almost tore the throats of every Northern Territory profound practitioner as they shouted them out.
In the back, the remaining Brahma Kings and Canglan Xuanzhe all knelt on the ground, and behind them, Qilin and Qinglong also knelt hastily in fear.
“…” Yun Che nodded: “Get up.”
However, not a single person from the Northern Territory stood up.
Fen Daoqi raised his head, took several breaths in a row, and finally uttered a trembling voice: "Demon Lord, we... won... right?"
“Yes, we won.” Yun Che nodded heavily: “The four king realms of the Eastern Divine Region, the Eternal Heaven Blood Slaughter, the Moon God Collapse, the Star God… Brahma Emperor is already under the wing of our demon clan, and all the realms in the Eastern Region have bowed their heads and submitted.”
"Among the four realms of the Southern Divine Region, Nanming has been destroyed, Canglan has surrendered, and Xuanyuan and Ziwei have both lost their courage."
"And the biggest obstacle is the Western Divine Territory. All the gods of the four realms of Dragon God, Chilong, Hunlong, and Wanxiang have been slaughtered. These four realms are in name only and no longer pose a threat. As for Qilin and Azure Dragon..."
The brief pause made all the Qilins and Azure Dragons feel cold all over.
"Whether they live or die in the future depends on the thought of this demon king."
Yun Che glanced at the entire audience and said in a slow voice, “In this world, there is no force that can stop the progress of our Northern Divine Region.”
“From today, from this moment on, as long as this Demon Lord is still alive, no one in the world will be able to bully, slander, or discriminate against the dark mystics of our Northern Divine Region for no reason!”
“You, your relatives and clans, and your descendants will all completely break free from the shackles of darkness and hold your heads high under the law of nature and the light of heaven! The next era of the God Realm will belong to our Northern Divine Territory!”
The Northern Territory's mystics were still far from recovering from the tragic battlefield and the drastic changes. Their minds were still filled with violent hostility and thick blood mist.
The Demon Lord's announcement finally turned all of this into uncontrollable tears.
The taut soul string relaxed, and violence and murderous aura silently spread along with the mysterious energy that had been gathered for a long time, and it seemed that what was inhaled through the mouth and nose was no longer the scent of ape blood.
Plop…
Many of them fell to the ground due to the loss of strength. But they immediately knelt up again, with their heads bowed, their humble postures and trembling eyes, all of which showed their determination to stick to it for the rest of their lives, and even to be respected by future generations.
Fen Daoqi slowly closed his eyes, kowtowed heavily, and cried with every word: "The power of the Western Divine Region is far beyond all records and beyond imagination. Without the Demon Lord, our Northern Divine Region may be trapped in the cage of darkness forever, and there will be no chance of recovery."
"The Demon Lord's kindness will never be forgotten, and it will be difficult to repay it in this lifetime..."
Fen Daoqi lowered his head to the ground, not raising it for a long time. As the former Imperial Master of Burning Moon, he had a vast experience. But at this moment, he simply couldn't find any words to explain this grace and gratitude.
They had witnessed with their own eyes the strength of each divine realm in this battle against fate... especially the terrifying power of the Western Divine Realm.
If it weren’t for Yun Che, the sad fate of the Northern Divine Region would not only last for a million years... it would last forever, until the day when the Northern Region collapsed on its own.
The words "dark mystic" and "demon" will forever become evil heresy in the eyes of the world and be engraved in their most basic cognition.
Fen Daoqi's words touched the hearts and souls of all the Northern Territory profound practitioners. They all kowtowed heavily again and shouted in unison:
"The Demon Lord's kindness will never be forgotten, and will never be repaid!"
"The Demon Lord's kindness will never be forgotten, and will never be repaid!!"
"The Demon Lord's kindness will never be forgotten, and will never be repaid!!!"
…
Although they were clearly extremely weak and exhausted, their roars became louder and louder, lingering in the sky above the Canglan Divine Realm for a long time.
Behind him, Emperor Qilin slowly raised his head, with a look of sigh and envy on his face.
Their calls were by no means the flattery or timidity that he was most familiar with in his daily life; instead, every word came from the bottom of their hearts and souls.
It is difficult to repay a life-saving favor, let alone such a complete salvation of a vast divine realm, thousands of races and souls, which will last for thousands of generations.
At this moment, even if Yun Che’s magic order was to let them sacrifice their lives immediately, Qilin Emperor was absolutely convinced that all of these people would commit suicide on the spot without any hesitation or resentment.
And this admiration and loyalty that is deeply rooted in the bones... As emperors, both the Qilin Emperor and the Azure Dragon Emperor believe that they can never truly obtain it.
Yun Che moved his fingers slightly, casting a thin, transparent soundproof barrier to avoid waking up Caizhi who was sleeping in his arms. Another breath poured forward, suppressing all the shouts.
“Today’s achievement is not my own achievement. It is not just me who saved the Northern Divine Region, but us, every one of you!”
Yun Che sighed softly and said, “Long Bai’s early return, Qiankun Dragon City, and the Withered Dragon Venerable… These were all unexpected accidents. As a demon lord, I failed to make preparations to deal with these accidents before entering the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm. This was my dereliction of duty as a demon lord. As a result, it brought extremely serious consequences.”
Chi Wuyao’s demonic eyes narrowed slightly… Of course, these were not Yun Che’s fault. Accidents that could be prevented were never called accidents. Even she had not anticipated the series of changes in the Dragon God Realm. If it weren’t for the demonic soul that resided in Zhou Xuzi’s soul, the consequences would have been even more unpredictable.
However, it was most appropriate for Yun Che to say these words at this moment.
There is no emperor who doesn't need rhetoric and people's hearts.
"The Eternal Heaven Divine Realm is a special world with its own independent laws, and it is difficult to be affected by the outside world. But now the power of the Eternal Heaven Pearl is withering, and the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm has only been barely opened for three years. It is extremely unstable. If it is impacted by external forces, it is very likely to cause the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm to collapse... The consequences are unpredictable."
Yun Che glanced around, his pupils reflecting the silent demon blood that had stained the earth: “The Demon Queen should have told you all of this. It is also because of this that you all chose to stay even though you had enough time to escape… In this state of 100% death and no chance of survival, you are not for the Northern Territory, not for yourselves, but only for me.”
Every word of these words carried with it the emotion that came from Yun Che's heart and soul.
The “you” he mentioned were not only the people kneeling on the ground before him, but also those who died in battle to protect his return… However, they would never hear these words again, and would never see the bright light that they had longed for generation after generation, which was firmly grasped by the Northern Divine Region.
“If you hadn’t fought to the death to defend me until the very end, the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm would have collapsed, and I would have been swept into an unknown dimension by the spatial turbulence, or worse… I might have died.”
Yun Che did not exaggerate these words; they were all said by He Ling herself.
“Every bit of your strength, every drop of blood you shed, and every sacrifice of each of them saved me and saved the Northern Divine Region. Therefore, it is not just me who reversed the fate of the Northern Divine Region and rewrote the history of the Northern Divine Region... but all of you.”
When Yun Che left the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm and emerged, Long Bai’s figure was already within reach.
Therefore, the time that each of them bought for Yun Che with their strength and life was crucial and indispensable.
“The history of the Northern Divine Region will remember all of your names. This is an honor that belongs to each and every one of you, and in the future, we will need all of you to protect us together.”
The demonic blood of the Northern Territory's profound practitioners surged with warmth, and their eyes filled with tears.
As Yun Che spoke, a dark aura surged, lifting the upper bodies of all the Northern Territory profound practitioners: “Stand up, compared to feeling nostalgic, you have more important things to do.”
"We must sort out the remains of our fallen kin... until every drop of demonic blood is gone. There must be an everlasting monument for them on the land of the Northern Divine Region."
Fen Daoqi was the first to bow deeply again, tears streaming down his face as he said, "I will obey the orders of the Demon Lord."
The Northern Territory profound practitioners dispersed, following the dark aura, and walked towards the eternally silent corpses.
The harsh living environment in the Northern Territory meant that there were deep or shallow hatreds between the many star realms. At this moment, even when they were faced with the remains of their former enemies, they did not feel the slightest bit of pleasure in their hearts. Instead, they would bend down and wrap them with the most gentle profound energy, fearing that any damage or loss would occur.
When they fought side by side for the future of the Northern Divine Region, their personal grudges became as insignificant as dust.
Yun Che turned his head and glanced at Canglan Xuanzhe lightly.
To be honest, he was surprised that the Shifang Canglan Realm did not betray him.
At this time, Cang Shitian strode forward, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "The sinner Cang Shitian, kowtows to the Demon Lord! Congratulations to the Demon Lord for shocking the world with his divine power, destroying the evil dragon that brought disaster to the world, and saving the Northern Divine Region from
The cage will save the divine world for eternity! This is a blessing for all spirits and a blessing for the heavens!"
There were only three Canglan Sea Gods left, and only fifteen Canglan Divine Envoys. Cang Shitian's words, which were so exciting that he almost cried, made them all bow their heads deeply, and the corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably.
Yun Che glanced at him sideways: "You actually survived until now?"
In his eyes, Cang Shitian was a man without any imperial dignity and prestige, and he was always changing his attitude according to the situation. When the Nanming Divine Realm was destroyed, as the second Divine Emperor of the Southern Divine Region, he did not even put up a bit of resistance, but knelt down in surrender, and even showed his loyalty to Nan Wansheng by taking ruthless action.
As a result, Emperor Xuanyuan and Emperor Ziwei were forced to bow their heads in disgrace.
Such a person would be a useful lackey when the wind is favorable for him.
And if the wind goes against him, he will kneel before the Dragon Emperor just like he did when he surrendered to him, and at the same time, he will stab Northern Divine Territory in the back to show his loyalty.
Therefore, before entering the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he specifically warned Chi Wuyao to be careful of Cang Shitian.
However, when he stepped out of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, he faced more than just adversity, but a desperate situation that would have him falling into eternal death in just one step... and Cang Shitian actually still stood on their side.
This is completely contrary to his original behavior of falling to the ground and kneeling without any resistance in the face of danger.
He glanced at Chi Wuyao, curious about what method she had used to train Cang Shitian to this point... or maybe he had misjudged Cang Shitian... or maybe it was both?
"Replying to the Demon Lord, since Shi Tian is the Demon Lord's loyal dog, he dare not die without the Demon Lord's order."
Cang Shitian shouted out these self-humiliating words of loyalty in a resounding and proud manner.
“…” Yun Che frowned deeply, then looked towards Chi Wuyao.
Chi Wuyao also spoke up at this time, saying, “Although Emperor Shitian made a big mistake in the past, he has indeed accomplished several great deeds today. As for whether he can make up for it…”
Her demonic eyes moved slightly and fell on Mu Xuanyin: "It is still up to the Demon Lord and Snow Song Realm King to decide."
As soon as Chi Wuyao finished speaking, Mu Xuanyin’s blue eyes suddenly flashed with cold light, and a ray of icy light appeared in the void, bursting out and piercing Cang Shitian.
The chill was so severe that Cang Shitian's hair stood on end, but he gritted his teeth and stood still, even quickly dissipating all his protective energy.
puff!
A meter-long ice spike pierced through his heart, lifted up the body of the God-Emperor Cang Shitian, flew several miles away, and then nailed him hard to the ground.
BANG!!
The ice spikes exploded, and Cang Shitian was once again carried far away and smashed down heavily.
Mu Xuanyin turned around and stopped attacking, and didn’t even look at him again.
The horrifying cold turned Cang Shitian's skin a frightening purple. He was shaking all over, but he struggled to get up. The mysterious energy surged around him, but it did not heal his injuries. Instead, he let out a low roar, and with a sudden deafening sound of bones breaking, he broke his left arm.
He supported himself on the ground with one arm, panting heavily, and lowered his head and said, "Back then, I used this arm to attack the Snow Song Realm King... I am willing to cut off my life for three hundred years, just to calm the anger of the Demon Lord and the Snow Song Realm King."
“Humph!” Mu Xuanyin said coldly: “You should keep your arm and serve the Demon Lord well!”
Cang Shitian raised his head suddenly, overjoyed, and kowtowed deeply, saying: "Little King Cang Shitian, thank King Yinxue Realm, thank the Demon Lord for his grace."
“…” Chi Wuyao had been observing Cang Shitian’s every move with a cold eye, and murmured, “He is truly an incredible figure.”
Yun Che stared at Cang Shitian from afar, the murderous intent in the depths of his pupils had not yet dissipated.
The remaining Sea God and Canglan God's Messenger helped the seriously injured Cang Shitian up, each with a different look in their eyes.
Putting aside his disrespectful words and deeds that they couldn't bear to look at, at this moment, they could only feel deep gratitude for Cang Shitian's previous crazy actions... and unprecedented deep admiration for him.
In this battle, the Canglan Divine Realm was completely destroyed, and the Sea God and his messengers died severely.
However, the artifacts of the gods are still there, and the middle and lower level Canglan profound practitioners were dismissed early, so the foundation is still there. More importantly, in the future world where the rules are set by the Northern Divine Region, his Ten Directions Canglan Realm can have a high status.
And if they had succumbed to the situation and sided with Long Bai...the four tribes of the Western Regions would have been completely annihilated, which would have been their fate.
But then again, if it weren't for Cang Shitian's desperate struggle, the Northern Divine Region might not have ended up like this.
