"Jasmine..."
Yun Che hugged the crying girl tightly in his arms. He and Jasmine had been together for so many years, sharing a body and a soul. They could feel each other's presence at every moment, but they had never hugged each other as tightly as they did now.
Yun Che raised his head and closed his eyes. He felt an incomparable warmth and satisfaction in his heart. It was a feeling of a life and soul that had been lost and incomplete and finally restored to its fullness. Feeling the traces of tears on his chest, everything he had experienced and put in for the past three years was so worth it.
Caizhi opened her lips wide, staring blankly at the two people hugging each other tightly...
She was obviously so angry just now, but when she saw him, her emotions and tears burst out at the same time.
Caizhi thought she was the person who understood her sister best in the world, but she never knew she could cry so hard...
“Sister…sister…” she whispered softly, covering her lips with her little hands. For some reason, everything in front of her eyes gradually became blurred.
She turned around, left quietly, and flew far away, with Jasmine's crying still in her ears... She felt a little sad in her heart, but deeply happy.
“Sister, that’s great.” Caizhi whispered softly. She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, quickened her pace, and left the Star God Temple.
She wanted to know what had happened during the time she had been “reflecting” on this. Yun Che was ranked number one in the Conferred God Contest, and was brought back to the Star God Realm by the Star God Emperor himself. So, did this mean that the “gap” between him and his sister could be bridged…
"Why did you come to me?"
There were still traces of tears on Jasmine’s face, and her eyes were visibly red. She looked at Yun Che and asked a very stupid question.
Yun Che thought for a moment and replied, “The Golden Crow Spirit of the Illusory Demon Realm told me that if I can’t see you within five years, I will never see you again in this lifetime, so…”
“…If the Golden Crow Spirit hadn’t said that, would you not have come?” Jasmine said softly, “When I saw you on the Conferred God Platform that day, I was very scared and shocked, but I wasn’t too surprised. Because I knew in my heart that you would come one day, but I didn’t expect it to be so soon, and I didn’t expect you to appear in the Eternal Heaven Realm.”
"As for the words of the Golden Crow Spirit, they were just excuses you used to convince yourself."
Jasmine was undoubtedly the person who understood Yun Che best. As for the Golden Crow Spirit... she understood why it said that.
Souls can communicate with each other, and although the Golden Crow Soul exists in the Illusory Demon Realm, it can also know many things in the God Realm through the Golden Crow Soul in the Flame God Realm. That rumor, plus the Golden Crow Soul's unique ancient memories, is enough for it to guess some things that the world does not know.
“Yes.” Yun Che did not deny it at all. Even if the Golden Crow Spirit had not said that, after meeting Mu Bingyun, he would definitely choose to follow her to the God Realm.
"But what exactly did the Golden Crow Spirit mean by that? Why did it say that if it doesn't see you within five years, it will never see you again?"
When Yun Che asked this question, his voice was filled with anxiety and nervousness.
Jasmine snorted calmly, “To become a complete Star God, after inheriting the power, one must enter a special secret realm for training. When I met you, I had just inherited the power of God and had not yet experienced the training. When I returned to the Star God Realm, I naturally had to complete this ‘ritual’. And this training is not only difficult, but also takes a long time, possibly hundreds or even thousands of years. This time is very short for the God Realm, but it is extremely long for the Lower Realm, long enough to forget everything, so it said so.”
Jasmine spoke very calmly, refusing to reveal the slightest flaw.
“…I see.” Yun Che’s eyebrows twitched, not knowing whether to believe it or not.
“When I ordered you to leave, you said that you found the dark seed left by the evil god and completely eliminated the evil in your body… Is this true?” Jasmine changed the subject.
“Of course!” Yun Che opened his palm, and a ball of dark energy rose in his palm, and then disappeared in an instant. He was showing Jasmine that he could control the dark energy as freely as fire and ice.
Jasmine frowned and said solemnly, “Back when we were in the Profound Sky Continent, I told you that dark profound energy is a heresy that is not tolerated by heaven and earth. You have witnessed the fate of the demon called ‘Only Hate’ and the attitude of everyone towards him. You must never expose your dark profound energy in front of anyone! Otherwise, anyone in this divine land can kill you!”
“I know.” Yun Che nodded: “Don’t worry, with the power of the evil god, it will never be exposed as long as I don’t want it to.”
“Why did you go to the bottom of the Cloudless Cliff? And how did you find this dark seed?” Jasmine’s starry eyes turned around: “To make you go against the oath I forced you to make... it must be for some woman!”
“Uh…” Yun Che laughed awkwardly: “It’s… because of Ling’er.”
"Humph, I knew it." Jasmine snorted coldly.
"As for the dark seed, it was given to me by a very strange little girl in the dark abyss."
"...Little girl?" Jasmine turned her head sharply and asked in surprise, "How could there be someone in a place like that?"
“It’s really hard to believe.” Yun Che said slowly, “Her hair is a very special silver color, and her eyes have four colors. What’s even stranger is that I’ve never seen her before, but she seems to be very… close to me? She took the initiative to give me that dark seed. Oh, and she doesn’t have a body, but a pure soul. Where she is, there is a sea of Netherworld Udumbara flowers, and she seems to never leave that sea of flowers.”
Jasmine frowned. “That horrible dark environment can irreversibly devour the soul. Back then, I didn’t dare to appear in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave in the form of a pure soul, and I couldn’t do that there either. But she is a soul, yet she can exist there, and she also relies on the Netherworld Flower Sea… and she also has the Dark Seed of the Heretic God in her hand…”
Jasmine fell into deep thought...
Unless...it's the devil's soul!
Pure demonic soul!
Could that girl be a demon that has existed since ancient times?
And the evil god who possesses the seeds of darkness...
“Hehehe… Do you… really think… that the evil god… is a god…?”
The words that the Moon Slaughter Devil Lord said before his demise suddenly echoed in Jasmine’s mind, causing her brows to suddenly droop.
“By the way, the Udumbara flower that you destroyed that day was given to you by her.” Yun Che said with a slightly mischievous look on his face.
Jasmine turned her face away and snorted, "You know I didn't destroy it."
“Haha…” Yun Che laughed: “So I told you that I don’t believe a single word you said that day or when you left. Our souls have been together for so many years, how could I not know whether you were telling the truth or not.”
“…” Jasmine’s breathing became a little disordered, and she then spoke softly, “You have many secrets that must not be discovered by others, but you happened to appear in the place in the Eastern Divine Region where your secrets are most likely to be exposed. So, that day, I could only do my best to drive you away. If you stayed for a moment longer, you would be in more danger. Unexpectedly, I got the exact opposite result.”
“I know.” Yun Che nodded. “In fact, if I could see you that day, I would have given up the fight and left the Eternal Heaven Realm without you saying anything. Or, if you had sent me a message to wait in a more suitable place, I would have never hesitated. But… what you said that day was too resolute. Even though I didn’t believe it, I was still very scared. I was afraid that if I didn’t do my best to get the first place in the Conferred God, I would never see you again.”
Jasmine looked away, not wanting Yun Che to see the sadness flashing in the depths of her eyes. She said softly, “After you meet me, will you really leave and never return to the God Realm again… You won’t.”
“…” Yun Che’s chest rose and fell: “Will you chase me away again this time?”
Jasmine shook her head: "The situation is completely different now. The last thing you should do now is to go back."
"You are already too dazzling now. Before you, the two most dazzling people in this generation in the Eastern Divine Region were Luo Changsheng from the Holy Eaves Realm and Shui Meiyin from the Glazed Light Realm. Their dazzling qualities were that one was born with a different body, and the other had a pure soul. Behind them were the powerful Holy Eaves Realm and Glazed Light Realm, respectively."
"And you, whose brilliance far surpasses theirs, do not have the strength to protect yourself or the power to protect you. You are like an ownerless pearl, which will surely attract countless covetousness and snatching. The most terrifying thing is that there are too many things in you that even the king realm cannot understand. Although the 'Son of Heaven' can only explain the various anomalies in you, the 'True God Prophecy' can make the king realm do crazy things because of you that are far beyond your imagination..."
"You simply cannot understand what the word 'True God' means to the King Realm."
Yun Che: “…”
"Now, everyone wants to know where you came from, and what secrets are hidden in that place that gave birth to a 'Son of Heaven' like you. If they knew that you were born on 'Blue Pole Star', then countless eyes would be cast on this planet, and traces of the Phoenix, Golden Crow, and Dragon God heritage would be discovered, making them more convinced that this tiny planet must have a huge secret... For Blue Pole Star, for the people there... especially those related to you, the consequences will undoubtedly be irreparable!"
All of this is because of me... Jasmine whispered in her heart.
“I know all of this.” Yun Che said.
“You still do this even though you know it!” Jasmine couldn’t suppress her excitement, and her voice rose several notches. But then, her eyes became sad again, and she whispered to herself, “You’re always like this… You’ve always been like this…”
“Yun Che, you will never give up the things you care about… and this is also your biggest weakness.” Jasmine closed her eyes: “You would slaughter the Burning Heaven Sect for Lingxi, you would face the Huai King for the Yun family, you would risk your life to pick the incomplete Udumbara flower for me… How could you be willing to give up everything you have on the Blue Pole Star?”
"But, how are you going to go back now..."
“I… actually have already thought of a solution.” Yun Che said hesitantly.
Jasmine glanced sideways instantly: "What method?"
Yun Che stretched out his hand and took out the Void Illusion Stone from the Sky Poison Pearl: “Use it.”
"Illusionary Stone? Is it the one that Caizhi gave you?"
“Uh… I just found out today that this was something that little… Caizhi left for me.” Yun Che still couldn’t wrap his head around the fact that “little Jasmine” was actually Jasmine’s younger sister. “The Void Illusion Stone can be instantly transferred to any space, and it won’t leave any traces that can be tracked.”
"so what?"
Yun Che continued, “In a month, I will enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl with the other ‘chosen ones’. Since it is the inner divine realm of the Eternal Heaven Pearl, it will naturally not be peeped at by anyone. After entering, of course, I will not be able to leave on my own. Therefore, after entering the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, I plan to leave the illusion of death inside, and then use the Void Illusion Stone to leave the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm and return to the Blue Pole Star.”
Jasmine: “…”
“In this way, the illusion that I died in the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, coupled with the fact that I never came out of the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm, will prevent the people in the God Realm from suspecting that I have perished.”
After Yun Che finished speaking, he said with a little trepidation: “It should… be possible to succeed, right?”
“You are too naive!” Jasmine shook her head. “The preliminary selection for the Profound God Convention was projected into the Eternal Heaven Pearl. It made the rules and decided the results. One can imagine how spiritual it is! Even if you can really deceive everyone else, you definitely can’t deceive the Eternal Heaven Pearl! Although the Eternal Heaven Pearl is now ownerless, it has always been willing to be used by the Eternal Heaven Realm. Are you so sure that it won’t tell the Eternal Heaven Realm about this?”
“…After all, the Eternal Heaven Pearl is the most precious treasure of the Mysterious Heaven. Something of its level should not bother to make such a small report, right?” Yun Che said with a guilty conscience.
“Okay, even if that’s the case.” Jasmine frowned and said, “After you return to Blue Pole Star, will you really never come to see me again? Will you really give up everything you have in the God Realm forever?”
“…” Yun Che opened his mouth slightly, and clenched his hands violently. Of course, he had thought about this before, but the sudden nine-fold thunder tribulation made him famous all over the world, but it also forced him into a "desperate situation" that he had never thought of. This was the only way he could think of.
“Also, will you really feel at ease after returning to Blue Pole Star? Xia Qingyue and Xia Yuanba’s mother is obviously from the God Realm. Why did she choose to leave after regaining her memory and power, and why did she never return?”
"During the years you have been in the God Realm, you should have heard that when it comes to concealing my aura, no one in the world can beat me. But because of a moment of negligence, I was still discovered by Yuluo."
"Your profound strength has now reached the level of the Gods, and you are already very eye-catching in the lower realms. After the Conferred God War, the top masters in the Eastern God Territory have also firmly remembered your aura. Unless you destroy your profound strength, otherwise, once the "what if" happens, it will lead to the most terrible consequences. Even if it really doesn't happen, you will always live in fear. Do you really want to do this?"
Every word Jasmine said was not alarmist, but the most straightforward and cruel fact.
After Yun Che's nine calamities, Jasmine thought a lot about his future. She knew much more clearly what Yun Che was about to face than Yun Che himself.
What happened to the Blue Pole Star was of no concern to her. Even if the entire planet was destroyed, she would not frown. But she knew what that meant to Yun Che.
“Jasmine, do you… want to say something to me?” Yun Che asked.
Jasmine looked at him, and each word was heavy: “If you want to protect yourself and the Blue Pole Star, then you must, and the only thing you must do, is to become powerful enough! Powerful enough to make all the creatures in the God Realm respect you, envy you, and fear you. Powerful enough to make only you control the fate of others, and no one else can control your fate... just like you are in the Profound Sky Continent and the Illusory Demon Realm!”
