The whole world is her enemy, this is Jasmine's current situation.
Moreover, because she was transformed into an "evil baby", this situation would never change... until she died!
Hearing that Jasmine was still alive, Yun Che was undoubtedly so excited and ecstatic that he felt like he was dreaming. However, Mu Xuanyin's few words instantly cast a dark shadow over the great surprise in Yun Che's heart.
The surprise gradually cooled down. Yun Che exhaled deeply and seemed to be talking to himself, as if asking, “Jasmine… how could she be an evil infant… how could she…”
“You really don’t know that the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations resides in her body?” Mu Xuanyin smelled it.
Yun Che shook his head… He had no idea, not a single thing: “Master, you said before… it was because of me?”
“Yes.” Mu Xuanyin frowned slightly. Apart from the people of the Star God Realm, she was the only person in the world who knew why the “Evil Infant” was born.
As the weapon with the most extreme and terrifying negative power in the world, the Evil Infant Wheel of Myriad Tribulations is something that anyone can imagine. The only thing that can make it awaken is the negative power that has been magnified to a certain limit.
At the beginning, even though he and Caizhi were both sacrificed, the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations showed no signs of awakening... and all the drastic changes happened after Yun Che died.
Although she had not witnessed it with her own eyes, Mu Xuanyin immediately understood the reason why the Evil Infant appeared after receiving the news.
"Obviously, the Evil Infant's Myriad Tribulations Wheel should have been in her possession for a long time," Mu Xuanyin said slowly, "but she never revealed any trace or aura of it. In other words, the original Evil Infant's Myriad Tribulations Wheel was completely dormant... and after you died, the power of the Evil Infant's Myriad Tribulations Wheel awakened, and she also turned into an Evil Infant. What do you think... is the reason?"
“…” Yun Che stood there, lost in thought for a long time again… Then, he closed his eyes, clenched his hands, and his whole body trembled slightly.
“After destroying the Star God Realm, the Evil Infant has never appeared again. All the king realms of the three divine realms, including the countless star realms in the Eastern Divine Realm, have been unable to find her exact trace… Do you think you can find her?” Mu Xuanyin said coldly, “Even if you can find her, she is now the Evil Infant, a demon god more terrifying than the devil! If you get close to her, do you know what the consequences will be? By then, there will be no place for you in this world!”
Yun Che: “…”
“The people of the Star God Realm did not reveal your relationship with her to anyone, because they didn’t dare! That sacrificial ceremony was against the laws of nature and human ethics. If the world knew that they were the ones who forced the Evil Infant to come out, they would become sinners condemned by the world, and the other kingdoms would definitely want to grind them to ashes. So, if you are asked why you went to the Star God Realm back then, don’t say it’s related to her. Now, you must not go look for her, and you must stay as far away from her as possible!”
"Moreover, if her soul had not been completely hijacked and still retained the will of the Heavenly Killing Star God, she would definitely not let you find her!"
Mu Xuanyin said a lot of things and gave a lot of instructions... She knew Yun Che too well, and knew even more that Yun Che would do anything for Jasmine, so she had to warn him one sentence after another.
Yun Che opened his eyes and said slowly and firmly: "I will definitely find her... I will definitely find her!"
“…” Mu Xuanyin frowned.
“However, not now. I am not qualified to look for her now.” Yun Che continued. He seemed to have calmed down. At least his pupils were not trembling so violently. “She is still alive. This is a great blessing to me. As for the others… whether it is the evil infant or the whole world is an enemy, no matter how great the obstacles are… at least, I can see her again.”
“…”Mu Xuanyin could hear the firmness in his words, as well as the sadness.
It was always so difficult for him and Jasmine to be together. The separation of planes... the separation of life and death... after overcoming all of this, the greatest obstacle in the world stood between them.
Mu Xuanyin could no longer say anything. Facing Yun Che, who was determined to die with Jasmine, any advice was useless. He would only follow his own choice. She turned around and said, "I have said everything I should say. What should I do in the future... As for the matter of Little Princess Liuguang and the matter of the Heavenly Killing Star God, you should think about it yourself."
"The Heavenly Netherfrost Pond has been opened. If you want to enter, you can do so at any time. Yes... I will take my leave, disciple."
Yun Che turned around and walked away with erratic steps… When he was about to step out of the holy temple, he stopped again and asked: “Master, Caizhi… the Sirius Star God…”
“She is still alive, and is definitely in the Primordial Divine Realm.” Mu Xuanyin said expressionlessly.
Walking out of the temple and standing in the snow, Yun Che felt endless hesitation in his heart.
He returned to the divine realm with determination, and today was only the second day... Everything that happened suddenly made him feel that the whole world had changed.
Luo Guxie, Huo Poyun, and even the Crimson Tribulation… at this moment, he had forgotten all about them, and his mind was filled with Jasmine’s image.
She is still alive...
Evil Infant...
Evil Infant...
Because I... turned into an evil baby...
No, you are still alive, and this is the most beautiful thing in the world. It doesn’t matter what demon or evil baby it is!
At the beginning, you promised [m] that if there is an afterlife, we will definitely meet again... Now, this life is not over yet, there is no need for an afterlife, I will find you no matter what!
…
After being bathed in the cold wind for a long time, Yun Che's mind gradually became firm and awake. He knew that Jasmine must know that he was still alive, because Jasmine knew a long time ago that he had the flame of Nirvana given by the Phoenix Spirit. Even if she didn't react at that time, she would definitely remember it at some point.
As for Caizhi, it was hard to imagine how her heart and temperament would be twisted and changed after experiencing all this. According to Jasmine's description, she was already "on the edge of the abyss".
Yun Che shook his head and turned his gaze to the north…where the Heavenly Dark Frost Lake was.
He needs power now...any way, any means!
Having made up his mind, he stood up and flew towards the Minghantian Lake.
When he arrived in front of the Minghantian Lake, with a slight movement of his mind, the barrier opened directly just like it did several years ago.
In the few years in the Snow Song Realm, the place where he stayed the longest was the Dark Cold Heavenly Lake, and the one who accompanied him the longest was Mu Xuanyin. Now when he entered the Heavenly Lake area again, the ice light was sparkling, the ice spirits were dancing, and everything was exactly the same as he remembered.
Suppressing all the turbulent thoughts, Yun Che took a deep breath, jumped into the Tianchi Lake, and rushed down.
Compared to the previous times when he was slow and cautious, Yun Che went down at full speed this time, straight into the bottom of the pool. Soon, his feet stepped on a layer of crystal-like broken sand, and the deep blue arc of light appeared in his sight.
This was his third time at the bottom of the pool.
Following the direction of the blue arc of light, Yun Che quickly moved forward. Soon, the crystal clear diamond-shaped ice crystal appeared in the azure world.
In the ice crystals, curled up was a dreamy girl, with her arms around her knees, her head buried between her knees, her body naked, her legs white and slender, her feet small and delicate like lotus, her skin white and smooth like jade, flowing with the brilliance of stars and moons.
The icy hair with a hint of light blue in the whiteness fell lightly, covering her face and also hiding the most taboo spring scenery of the girl.
"Yun Che, you are finally here."
A young girl's voice rang in his heart, as soft as water and as ethereal as a dream.
Yun Che walked forward and stopped only a few steps in front of the girl. He could clearly see every part of her jade-like skin and snow-white muscles: "Ice Phoenix Divine Spirit, long time no see. You said that year, 'When the world is shrouded in crimson despair', and asked me to come find you... At that time, I was at a loss and ignorant, but now, the situation in the Eastern Divine Region is very similar to the 'crimson despair' you mentioned, so I came."
"So, you have already been fully aware of this?" she said softly.
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded slowly: “Since I have returned to the God Realm and come here, I have made sufficient preparations and awareness. I will no longer question or evade the ‘mission’ you mentioned back then.”
"Okay... Then I will tell you the truth about this Crimson Calamity, and the hope that is placed on you... This calamity is approaching too fast, so fast that even I am caught off guard. Whether you are ready or not, the time has come for me to tell you."
"Thank you for coming before everything is irreversible."
Yun Che took a deep breath and said solemnly, “I want to confirm once more, is the crimson despair you mentioned the rift that originated from the Eastern Pole of Chaos?”
"Yes." The Ice Phoenix Spirit replied.
“…” Yun Che raised his eyebrows and said, “Right now, the Eastern Divine Region is gathering all its strength to prepare for the Crimson Tribulation that may erupt at any time. With the power of the Eastern Divine Region, is it possible for it to withstand it?”
The Ice Phoenix Spirit sighed: "Back then, I said more than once that you are the only hope... and this 'only' is the only one in the absolute sense. Only you who have inherited the power of the Heretic God can resolve this disaster. And the power of the God Realm today, even if it is ten times stronger, there is no possibility of coping."
"This is also why the evil god would rather shorten his own existence in order to leave behind a trace of hope."
The only hope... absolutely the only one.
A disaster that the Eastern Divine Region would not be able to handle even if it was ten times more powerful! ?
His heart suddenly felt heavy, but soon became clear. Yun Che nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. Please tell me, what exactly is this disaster? And what can I do?"
At the bottom of the Dark Cold Heavenly Lake, every inch of space was extremely cold. The Ice Phoenix Girl… the only ancient deity left in the world, slowly began her story.
"At the beginning of the chaos, before the Ancestral God dissipated, he left behind a copy of the 'Ancestral God's Decree', which was divided into three parts and spread throughout the worlds. One of the parts is in the hands of the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, one of the four God Emperors of the Demon Race."
“In the ancient era of the gods, at the beginning of that disaster… the God Emperor Zhu Tian used another part of the Ancestral God’s Art as a lure to lure the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor to the place on the pretext of comprehending the Ancestral God’s Art together. He then used the Ancestral Sword of Zhu Tian to blast open the wall of chaos, and blasted the Demon Emperor and all the demon gods he brought with him out of the chaos.”
Yun Che listened quietly… He had known about this past for a long time. It was also recorded in some ancient books left over from the Age of Gods. It was also widely known in the God Realm today.
The one who first told him this was the Golden Crow Spirit of the Golden Crow Thunder Flame Valley. At that time, the Golden Crow Spirit told him that the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor Mo'e was extremely upright and hated evil, and believed that demons who used negative profound energy were evil beings. The fragments of the Ancestral God's Art were left by the Ancestral God at the beginning of chaos, and must not fall into the hands of the demons, so he used this method to forcibly take it away.
But after meeting the Ice Phoenix girl, she told him another truth... a truth that very few people knew in the ancient era of the gods: The Heaven-Slaying God Emperor Mo'e was willing to use the Ancestral Sword of the Heavens and use despicable means to kill the Heaven-Slaying Devil Emperor. The main reason was definitely not the fragments of the Ancestral God Decree, but... The Evil God and the Heaven-Slaying Devil Emperor had already fallen in love with each other in secret and became husband and wife.
Moreover, they also have a forbidden offspring.
The upright, evil-hating, and intolerant Heaven-Slaying God Emperor Mo'e would never allow a god... or even the God of Creation to fall in love with a Demon Emperor and have offspring! In his eyes, this must be the greatest shame for the God Clan, and this shame can only be truly washed away by making the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor disappear forever.
This is the truth behind why he used the Ancestral Sword to break through the wall of chaos and banish the Demon Emperor Zhutian and a group of demon gods.
According to what the Ice Phoenix girl said before, this secret that could not be made public was only known to the four great gods of creation in the ancient gods. The Ice Phoenix girl only knew a little bit about it by chance because she served under the seat of Li Suo, the god of life creation.
"That incident was the origin of this scarlet catastrophe. At that time, the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor Mo'e would never have imagined that the sword he used to break the Wall of Chaos and exile the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor and the nine hundred demon gods would sow such a huge disaster for future generations."
“…” These words made Yun Che stand there in a daze.
The exile of the Heaven-Slaying Demon Emperor by the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor... was the origin of the Crimson Tribulation!?
He racked his brains, using all his knowledge and imagination from two lifetimes, but he still couldn't understand this sentence.
