“Why?” Yun Che asked, “Could it be that Senior has no interest in the Ancestral Divine Art now?”
Jie Yuan snorted coldly and said indifferently: "Back then, it was because of this World-Defying Heavenly Book that I was plotted against by the old dog Mo'e. It was also because of my curiosity and greed for the World-Defying Heavenly Book that I violated Ni Xuan's warning for the first time. I don't even have the chance to be blamed by him... anymore."
Yun Che: “…”
"One of the books in your hand that defy the world comes from the old dog Mo'e. My eyes will be dirty if I read it, and my hands will be dirty if I touch it! You should keep it for yourself! Don't even let me see it!"
“…Okay.” Yun Che had mixed feelings.
He had thought that the Ancestral Divine Art in his hand was the thing that could most impress Jie Yuan, but he did not expect that not only did she not have any desire to get involved, but her words were filled with deep disgust.
But then again, as the only Demon Emperor in the world, there was no force that could pose even the slightest threat to her, so what did she need the Ancestral Divine Art for? And the tragedy of her and her people was caused by the Ancestral Divine Art, so her reaction... when you think about it carefully, it's not too abrupt.
But in this way, even his only "chip" was completely useless.
"I might as well tell you," Jie Yuan suddenly said, "I did abandon the World-Defying Heavenly Book, but I did not abandon it outside the Primal Chaos. After all, I was born because of the Ancestral God, and that is the Ancestral God's greatest gift. How could I leave it outside the Primal Chaos?"
"If you are interested in this world-defying book," Jie Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, like a sneer, and a mockery, it was hard to describe what kind of expression it was: "You might as well try to look for it. However, during these years in the outer chaos, I did understand one thing."
"This world-defying heavenly book is the origin of the mysterious way. The Ancestral God left it behind simply because he didn't want it to disappear. It could also be a test for future generations. Even if it can be restored to its original state and fully interpreted, it is impossible for anyone in this world to cultivate it!"
“Why do you think so, Senior?” Yun Che asked subconsciously.
"Because the law contained in the World-Defying Book is a special existence called 'nothingness'. 'All things and spirits in the world originate from nothingness and will eventually return to nothingness'. This is the only divine formula I have learned from the World-Defying Book in my hand, but I cannot touch the principle of nothingness contained in it no matter what."
Yun Che: “…”
"Except for the Ancestral God who was truly born from 'nothingness', no other living being can truly touch the law of 'nothingness', including the Devil Emperor and the God of Creation! So what if I have collected the World-Defying Heavenly Book... Ha, how ridiculous those days were!"
“…” Yun Che paused for a long while before he said, “Junior will accept your instruction. There is another matter that I would like to discuss with you, Senior. I hope you can help me.”
"About the 'Evil Infant'?" Jie Yuan asked calmly.
Yun Che raised his head sharply, dumbfounded.
"Huh, haven't you been with her these past few days?"
“~! #￥%…” Yun Che’s hair stood on end. Is this Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor… a peeping Tom?
Although his eyebrows were twitching wildly, Jie Yuan’s words made Yun Che’s originally uneasy heart calm down at once: “Since Senior knows the existence of the ‘Evil Infant’ and its current state, that means Senior has no intention of sealing the Evil Infant?”
"Seal? Why?" Jie Yuan asked, "What does it have to do with me about the Evil Infant's current situation?"
Yun Che was stunned by these words, and found it difficult to understand for a moment.
Regardless of other gods, demons, and evil gods, they were all buried under the "eternal calamity" of the evil infant.
"The Evil Infant's recognition of its master is indeed an interesting matter, but it has nothing to do with me." Jie Yuan's words contained a special meaning that only she understood at this moment: "You don't need to mention it to me again."
"Also, don't mention anything about my people anymore. No matter what reasons, bargaining chips, or other tricks you think are interesting and useful, don't mention them to me again. I don't want to hear a single word."
Yun Che moved his lips slightly, wanting to say something, but she lowered her voice and said faintly, “Come back here to find me in a month, and I will tell you the answer.”
“…Yes.” Yun Che was unable to refuse, and from Jie Yuan’s words, he could vaguely hear that she seemed to have made a decision.
"Hmm..." In the sea of flowers, You'er slowly opened her four-color pupils and looked over here hazily.
Jie Yuan glanced to the side, and her eyes suddenly became as gentle as the breeze. She whispered, "Call Hong'er out, and then you go and talk to You'er."
"good……"
…………
They stayed at the foot of the Cloudless Cliff for a day, until Hong'er became completely sleepy and threw herself on Yun Che and fell asleep, and only then was Yun Che finally allowed to leave.
Yun Che gently picked up Hong'er and transferred her to the space of the Sky Poison Pearl. His movements were extremely gentle, and his eyes were filled with a bit of doting as if he was looking at his daughter.
Looking at his appearance, Jie Yuan's eyes changed slightly, and he suddenly said: "I was once the same as you."
“Oh?” Yun Che raised his head, a puzzled look on his face.
"As the Demon Emperor, I have destroyed countless lives. Even if I wiped out a planet and existence, I would never feel anything. But after I had a daughter and became a mother, I unconsciously became kind and even began to find it unacceptable to kill... because I didn't want to hug my daughter with my blood-stained hands."
Yun Che was stunned.
"When you have a daughter and become a mother, you will feel that the world is much better than before. When you become kind, all living things in your eyes will also seem to become kind and benevolent. The murderous intent, vigilance, and decisiveness you once had will all fade away quietly without you noticing..."
Jie Yuan sighed softly: "This is also one of the reasons why I was so easily tricked by Mo'e... Until now, I don't know whether this is the advantage or defect of my human nature."
"During those years of chaos, I gradually came to understand that, given my level and position, I need to become even more ruthless because I have a beautiful family. To embrace my loved ones with bloodstained hands, or to let them be stained with blood... If it were you, what would you choose?"
Yun Che: “…”
"In today's chaotic atmosphere, you have achieved this state in half a century. You must have gone through a lot of blood and life and death trials. But now you have a passive pursuit of power, but you don't have the blood and anger to match it. Instead, your heart is full of compassion to 'save the world'... This may be a good thing for others, but you are different, and you should understand your differences."
"You, who have inherited the power of Nixuan, are destined to become the king of the world. But a king must not only be respected, but also feared. You need to consciously restrain the softening of your heart."
"And, personally, I don't want to see you, who has inherited his power... become as kind as he was back then."
Yun Che thought about it, nodded and said, “Well, I will take note of what you said, senior.”
"By the way," Jie Yuan's eyes slanted, and he suddenly said, "The slave girl you took in is pretty good."
“Huh?” Yun Che didn’t know why Jie Yuan suddenly mentioned Qianye.
"In terms of appearance alone, she is comparable to the so-called 'First Saint of the Gods' Li Suo! Humph."
Jie Yuan, who had always been extremely cold, spoke with gnashing teeth when he mentioned the words "Li Suo, the first holy immortal of the God Clan".
After taking a look at Jie Yuan's expression, Yun Che asked anxiously, "Senior... seems to have had a grudge with Li Suo, the God of Life Creation?"
Jie Yuan turned his face away, snorted heavily, and said coldly: "Back then, Ni Xuan was young and stupid, and pursued Li Suo for a million years! But he was always rejected by Li Suo... In the end, he was desperate and wandered away from the demon world, and then he met me!"
"Hmph! The so-called No. 1 Saint of the God Clan is nothing but a stupid woman with no vision and no idea! How is Ni Xuan unworthy of her?"
“Senior… is right.” Yun Che lowered his head deeply, his face twitching slightly… As expected, no matter what level of women they are, they are all exactly the same in this regard!
"It's a pity that Hong'er has to accept her kindness again." Jie Yuan muttered to himself and turned around: "You go... Remember what I said, come here to find me in a month, and during this period, you are not allowed to disturb me for any reason!"
…………
After Yun Che left, the dark world under the Cloudless Cliff returned to peace again.
Ever since the arrival of Jie Yuan, the roars of the giant beasts that once resounded constantly have never been heard again. Those dark beasts are trembling in fear all the time under the vague dark aura of Jie Yuan.
Watching You'er fall asleep peacefully again, Jie Yuan stood in the sea of flowers in the underworld. The eyes that frightened all living things were now covered with deep confusion and sadness.
“Nixuan…” She whispered to herself, “Why after so many years, I still can’t get used to a world without you…”
"I lived so persistently, and returned so eagerly... What I wanted most was never revenge, but to see you, to see our daughter..."
"All the clansmen, friends, enemies, and foes are gone, and Chaos has become extremely unfamiliar. But our daughter is still here. Although she has changed from our 'Nijie' to Hong'er and You'er, at least her existence has been 'split', but it is not missing."
"Hong'er is always so happy and carefree, and You'er will be so satisfied as long as she has someone to accompany her. Moreover, I have finally found a way to make her complete and have someone to accompany her forever."
"Fate destroyed everything, but left our daughter behind. Should I resent fate or be grateful to it..."
She closed her eyes and murmured in a dreamy voice: "Nixuan, I know what you want me to do, but please forgive me for going against your wishes once again, because I have found a better choice."
She looked up, and on her face, which was covered with countless scars, there was a smile that no living being could believe: "Nixuan, wait for me... I will find the most suitable destination for You'er, the one she wants most. I can finally... see you again..."
