Against the Gods Chapter 1972: White Shadow



Western Divine Territory, Azure Dragon Realm.

Yun Che’s figure went from virtual to real, as if he had walked out of the void, and appeared directly in front of the Azure Dragon Emperor’s bedroom.

In the huge royal city, with countless guards, no one noticed.

"Yun...Emperor Yun!"

Qing Ruo had been guarding outside personally these days. She was startled at first, then hurriedly restrained her breath and was about to bow.

A breath of air held her up, and Yun Che shook his head calmly: "You can leave, I'll go see her."

"Yes!" Qing Ruo responded quickly and retreated quickly. When he looked back, his eyes were full of excitement.

This is the first time that Emperor Yun has taken the initiative to set foot here.

The Azure Dragon Emperor's bedroom was extremely simple and cold, just like Mu Xuanyin's Ice Phoenix Temple.

After entering the bedroom, Yun Che no longer tried to conceal his presence, which was enough for the Azure Dragon Emperor to detect in an instant.

However, in response to his arrival, the Azure Dragon Emperor's aura was as peaceful as still water, without any disturbance.

Walking around the screen, a pool of water with a strange atmosphere appeared in sight.

The pond is light blue in color. There is no sunlight shining from the sky, but it is rippling with green light.

A tall woman sat quietly in the pool, her black hair brushing the water, her snow-white skin floating on the water, her extremely beautiful face with a chilling coldness, like a goddess of the Luo River descended to the world.

Especially her pair of beautiful legs, which were not only incredibly long but also slender. Even when submerged in the water, they still exuded a flawless jade-like luster.

This was the first time that Yun Che looked at her so seriously. Putting aside her identity as the Azure Dragon Emperor, this Azure Dragon woman who seemed unwilling to merge with the secular world actually made him stunned for a moment.

"Entering the women's bedroom without permission." The Azure Dragon Emperor in the pool slowly opened his eyes: "Is the Yun Emperor really as dissolute and licentious as the rumors say?"

The Azure Dragon Emperor was clearly recovering, and was dressed very simply, with only a small garment covering his body.

As the Azure Dragon Emperor, this was the first time in her life that she had appeared in such a state, so she was naturally angry.

Yun Che's eyes returned to focus, and he cursed in his heart: There are such rumors in the God Realm!? This is simply outrageous, why didn't Cang Shitian do anything about it!

He paced forward and spoke in an unquestionable imperial voice: "You are my imperial concubine, there should be no distance between you and me."

"..." The Qinglong Emperor's expression did not change at all, and he seemed disdainful of reacting to this "empty name".

She slowly moved her arms away from her chest, and was about to take off her green clothes to cover her body. But the figure in front of her flashed, and her arms were gently grasped by a warm hand.

Yun Che just stood in the pool of water, his five fingers sliding along the snow-white skin of her arm to her fair wrist: “Don’t move, let me see your injuries.”

His profound energy had already been pouring into Azure Dragon Emperor's body without any explanation.

The Azure Dragon Emperor had no way to resist and had to close his eyes again.

Yun Che’s expression gradually became solemn, and his brows slowly furrowed.

Although the Azure Dragon's body was not as good as that of a Dragon God, it was still far superior to that of an ordinary creature. However, it was a fatal blow from Mo Beichen after all. Even if a strong Azure Dragon Emperor survived, it would take a long time to fully recover.

Now, less than half a month has passed, and the Azure Dragon Emperor's injuries and vitality have recovered by more than 30%.

At that time, he could clearly feel with his remaining consciousness that the Azure Dragon Emperor had sealed all of Mo Beichen's power within his body, shattering his internal organs.

His aura roamed around the Azure Dragon Emperor, trying to find the "aura of light" that Chi Wuyao mentioned.

But it was obviously too late, he couldn't find even a trace.

After withdrawing his consciousness, he asked directly, "What happened to the aura of light that saved you?"

"...That is indeed not from you." The Azure Dragon Emperor's eyes were indifferent, and it was impossible to tell whether there was disappointment or melancholy in his voice.

Yun Che said: “You were close to me at the time, and you know my condition best. How could I still have the strength to release such a strong light profound force?”

The Azure Dragon Emperor’s words were a disguised answer to Yun Che’s question. He frowned and said, “You really don’t know anything? You don’t have any impression at all?”

The Azure Dragon Emperor’s eyes were as blue as water, without any ripples. “In this world, the only person who possesses the profound power of light besides you is Shen Xi. And I have never come into close contact with Shen Xi in my life. Even if I had, it would be impossible for me to be infused with the profound power of light by her and not know it for so long.”

“It’s not her.” Yun Che murmured softly, “Given the ‘fatal’ injuries you suffered at the time and your current level of recovery, even if she tried her best, it would be almost impossible to save you, let alone make you recover so quickly.”

"Neither can I."

The higher the level of power, the slower the recovery speed will be. Even Yun Che, who has a strong recovery ability, was in a coma for half a month when he was severely injured by Mo Beichen for the first time.

But the Azure Dragon Emperor...

What is going on?

Who is it!

“Are you sure that it was the profound power of light, and not some kind of self-healing ability that your Azure Dragon clan has hidden?” Yun Che asked.

The Azure Dragon Emperor raised his eyes slightly: "The Demon Queen is my witness."

Yun Che pondered for a long time and said, “If that’s the case, then that light profound energy must have appeared in your body after I lost consciousness, otherwise I wouldn’t have been unaware of it.”

"When I lost consciousness, your life force was almost gone, but it wasn't so short that your deep consciousness fell into a deep sleep. It's even possible that you still had some surface consciousness left."

"So... did you notice anything unusual?"

When he asked this question, Yun Che did not expect to get any definite answer. Because if there was one, the Demon Queen would have already known it.

However, Emperor Qinglong did not shake his head.

After a short silence, she slowly said, "Although I survived some time ago, I was seriously injured and my soul was in chaos. My consciousness has gradually become clearer in the past few days. I remember that when I was about to die, my consciousness seemed to touch a vague white shadow."

“White Shadow!?” Yun Che’s mind was moved violently.

"That seems to be a woman." The Azure Dragon Emperor's eyes flickered with a strange green light, and it seemed that he had difficulty finding the right words to describe the scene at that moment: "That white shadow was obviously very close, but it gave me a feeling that it was extremely far away, so far away... I will never be able to touch it."

This feeling of being so close yet so far away had only happened once in her life.

That was when she faced the returning Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor before the Crimson Rift.

However, she did not say this because she knew very well that Yun Che had great respect for the Sky Smiting Demon Emperor. If she said... comparing an illusory shadow with the Sky Smiting Demon Emperor, it would undoubtedly be an offense to the Sky Smiting Demon Emperor.

“Did you see the face of that white shadow clearly?” Yun Che asked in a deep voice, “Perhaps you sensed the characteristics of her aura?”

"No." Qinglong Emperor answered decisively: "I even think that it is more likely that it was an illusion before my consciousness collapsed."

“…” Yun Che thought for a moment and did not ask any more questions. He said, “Forget it. Just take good care of your injuries and don’t worry about anything else.”

The fatal wound from that day was now completely healed. Yun Che naturally had nothing to worry about. He removed his hand from Azure Dragon Emperor and turned away.

"Farewell, Emperor Yun." Emperor Qinglong closed his eyes and did not stand up.

Yun Che did not leave. He asked calmly, “Don’t you have anything to say to me?”

The Azure Dragon Emperor's aura was peaceful, and even the Azure Pool beneath him did not ripple at all. "Thank you, Emperor Yun, for forgiving Qi Tianli. Our merits have been offset, and Emperor Yun and I no longer owe each other anything. I only hope that Emperor Yun will honor his promises and be broad-minded, and never mention Qi Tianli's crimes again and punish him for them."

Yun Che did not show any displeasure at the obviously distant words. Instead, he smiled and said, “Your worries are unnecessary. Since I have forgiven him, I have completely let this matter go. I will never seek revenge in the future. As for canceling out the merits and favors, that is a big mistake.”

"His old life is not worthy of being compared with my life, nor is it worthy of being compared with your life."

Azure Dragon Emperor: “…”

Yun Che said: “That day, everyone was deeply intimidated by Mo Beichen’s demigod pressure. Facing his fatal blow, even if they were God Emperors, it was their instinct to flee far away.”

"You rescued me, not only out of instinct under the pressure of a demigod, but also without thinking, in an instant. There is no way... you wanted to use this merit to redeem Qi Tianli's sin."

The Azure Dragon Emperor opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But Yun Che did not give her the opportunity to speak, and continued: "I am about to go to the abyss, and the road ahead is unknown. There are some things that I will tell you when I return safely."

Qing's eyes suddenly opened, and the words that were about to come out were lost: "You want to go to the abyss!?"

“If I don’t enter the abyss, this world will fall into the abyss forever.” Yun Che smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I will come back. You risked your life to save my life now. If I die carelessly again, it will hurt your feelings.”

"Before I come back, I hope you can face one thing."

Yun Che took a step forward, and his voice slowly faded away with his figure: "On the day I am crowned emperor, your name 'Green Concubine' will be known throughout the world, and no one will be able to say that it is just an empty name."

"As husband and wife, the so-called 'nothing owed to each other' is not something you can decide alone."

"..." The bedroom returned to silence for a long time.

But the clear pond was rippling with chaotic ripples.

…………

On Diyun City.

The disaster of the abyss, the Cloud Emperor was severely injured, and the Northern Divine Region was naturally in turmoil. However, during this period of time, Chi Wuyao did not manage external affairs at all. Instead, he quietly stayed in the palace, recovering his injured demon soul and trying his best to find the root cause of his demon soul's throbbing.

What exactly is the strange weapon that the Abyss Emperor uses to pierce the abyss passage...

She always had a vague feeling that the answer to this question was crucial.

If it can be destroyed, does it mean that the creatures from the abyss will no longer have the possibility of entering the human world?

At this time, the palace door was pushed open and Yun Che walked in, his expression as calm as a leisurely cloud.

Chi Wuyao raised her eyes from her contemplation, a hint of surprise in her eyes: “So soon?”

Yun Che walked over and sat in front of her, saying, “Worry and reluctance will indeed wipe out your determination. The more I want to reduce my worries as much as possible before leaving, the harder it is to bear mentally.”

"So, it's time to go."

Concerns, debts, unfulfilled promises, unfulfilled wishes, countless words...all waiting for the day when he returns.

So, he must...must come back alive.

His injuries were basically fully recovered during this period.

“Okay.” Chi Wuyao nodded gently. She could empathize with Yun Che’s state of mind. And his decision was also the decision that a gradually maturing emperor should make.

“My demon soul has also recovered to a large extent.” Chi Wuyao looked into Yun Che’s eyes. “These past few days, I have also reorganized and clarified the memories and cognition from Mo Beichen. Now, I will tell you in detail about the current basic structure of the Abyss and some of the core figures.”

"You must keep it in your soul."

Yun Che did not say anything, but nodded imperceptibly, his pair of bright eyes filled with a cold and dark space.
