After leaving Liuyun City, he called Qianye Ying'er and ordered her to cut through space directly. In a few moments, they arrived at the edge of Jueyun Cliff on Cangyun Continent.
After giving Qianye Ying'er an order, Yun Che fell straight down in a hurry and soon disappeared into the darkness.
Qianye Ying'er frowned slightly, staring at the dark abyss below her feet. With her eyesight, she couldn't penetrate the darkness below the abyss, nor could she sense any abnormal aura.
She knew that the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor was right below, and she was also curious about this strange existence. If Qianye Ying'er had a complete personality, she would definitely find out the truth, but at this moment, she could only obey orders and wait.
Yun Che arrived at the foot of Jueyun Cliff at the fastest speed. The dark world during this period of time was unusually quiet. When Yun Che arrived at the Netherworld Flower Sea, he saw Jie Yuan’s figure at a glance.
She was accompanying You'er, and seemed to be whispering something to her. You'er was very quiet and listened obediently. When she saw Yun Che's figure, her colorful eyes flashed with a familiar light, and her light and misty half-soul body almost subconsciously moved closer to Yun Che, and she was unwilling to take her eyes away from him.
Jie Yuan turned around, glanced at Yun Che, and said calmly: “Why are you in such a hurry?”
Not sensing any dissatisfaction or anger from Jie Yuan’s eyes and aura, Yun Che secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, “I suddenly entered a state of enlightenment half a month ago and almost missed the time agreed upon with you, so I hurried here. I hope I didn’t keep you waiting for too long.”
As he spoke, his hand gently touched You'er's cheek. Although he couldn't really touch her, it still made You'er's little face reveal an expression that seemed to be a faint smile, and her slender body moved closer to him.
Seeing You'er being so intimate with Yun Che that she was not with her, Jie Yuan turned her head away. She felt an indescribable complexity in her heart. She said indifferently, "You came just in time. It's almost time for 'that time'."
"That time?"
"It's time for my people to return."
Yun Che’s heart tightened.
"You don't have to be nervous." Jie Yuan didn't look at him, staring into the darkness. No one could know what she was thinking. "During this time, while accompanying You'er, I also visited many places and basically understood the current chaos. Today, I can tell you the 'answer'."
Yun Che listened with bated breath. He knew that Jie Yuan’s next words would completely determine the fate of Primal Chaos… It was no exaggeration.
"Now, the only people who know of my existence are those at the highest level of the so-called God Realm. They have been obedient and have not publicized this matter. I also know that you are regarded as the only 'savior' by them. All their hopes are pinned on you, and you are more concerned about this matter than anyone else."
“The one who decides everything is still the senior.” Yun Che said: “I have always understood that no one has the right to ask the senior to do anything. However, as a mortal spirit living in the current chaos, even though I know I have no qualifications, I still…”
“Humph, you don’t need to say more nonsense.” Jie Yuan sneered and said slowly: “Promise me one thing, and then I can guarantee... my people will not cause any trouble to the current chaos!”
Jie Yuan’s words made Yun Che stunned. After two full breaths, he suddenly raised his head and said, “Senior, what did you say…?!”
"What? Can't believe your ears?"
“…” Yun Che really couldn’t believe his ears. Anyone else would definitely think that he was hallucinating.
The returning Jie Yuan did not bring disaster to the world, which was already a blessing from heaven. But the truly terrifying thing was the demon god who was about to return with endless hatred. Any one of them was enough to cause endless disasters in the chaos, let alone nearly a hundred of them.
What Yun Che, the Emperor of Zhoutian, and all those who knew the truth had always hoped for was that Jie Yuan could control the devil god who had returned with hatred, so as not to bring the God Realm to an irreparable state. For this, they were willing to bow their heads and kneel in submission. As for the chaotic space outside the God Realm, they were completely unable to take it into consideration.
Let the returning demon god rule them instead of destroying them... and this is the best result anyone can hope for.
But Jie Yuan's words were... that she would not let her people have any feelings towards Chaos.
The slightest bit of trouble! ?
Every word was spoken by Jie Yuan himself... but Yun Che still couldn't believe it for a moment.
“Senior, you just said… that you would not let your people cause even the slightest bit of trouble to the present chaos?” Yun Che repeated Jie Yuan’s words one by one.
“Humph, how could I, Heaven-Jie Demon Emperor, bother to deceive you.” Jie Yuan said coldly: “But the premise is that you promise me one thing, something that only you can do and must do!”
“…Okay!” Yun Che adjusted his breathing and nodded slowly: “Please go ahead.”
"Listen carefully." Jie Yuan finally turned his head, and looked at him with a pair of dark eyes as deep as the abyss: "I want you... to take care of my two daughters, Hong'er and You'er, for the rest of your life. No matter what happens, you are not allowed to hurt them, let alone abandon them!"
“…” Yun Che stood there in a daze.
During this period of time, Yun Che had never dared to think about what the chaos would become after the return of the Devil God, and he had never talked about it with anyone on the Blue Pole Star. Subconsciously, he had been trying his best to avoid thinking about those possible... or even inevitable scenes.
Because even the best situation that one can think of and strive for will be extremely cruel.
There are nearly a hundred true demons filled with hatred, and their horror is beyond the imagination of the world.
But now Jie Yuan said with his own mouth that he would not let any of her clan members be reborn... Is this really possible?
If it is really possible to achieve, then the corresponding conditions must be extremely difficult.
Therefore, when listening to Jie Yuan’s words, his heartstrings tightened severely… and when Jie Yuan stated her conditions, Yun Che once again couldn’t believe his ears.
Take care of Hong'er and You'er, do not harm or abandon them.
Just...that’s it?
“There has never been sadness in Hong’er’s eyes, only happiness and attachment to you.” Under Yun Che’s stunned gaze, Jie Yuan spoke slowly: “So, I believe that you have always treated her well. In addition, your lives are connected, so I can also believe that you will not abandon her.”
How could Yun Che abandon Hong'er? Not to mention the relationship he and Hong'er had built over the years, Hong'er was not only Hong'er, but she was also the Heaven Smiting Devil Slayer Sword, a partner he relied on immensely.
"And You'er, she has been lonely for so many years, trapped in darkness, without anyone to accompany her, and she has never known what the outside world is like. I hope someone can take her out of this dark world and accompany her forever, so that she will not be lonely anymore, and her life can become like Hong'er's."
"That person is you."
You'er had a very deep affinity with Yun Che, perhaps because he had the aura of the evil god, or because of Hong'er's existence, or perhaps because he was the first person who frequently visited and accompanied her after her endless loneliness... At least Jie Yuan could confirm that if she could be with Yun Che forever like Hong'er, it would be the happiest thing for You'er.
Yun Che listened carefully and seriously. He asked, “You’er’s current state is that of a broken demon soul. If she leaves the land of pure darkness, she will be severely damaged or even dissipate. Senior, do you want to complete You’er’s soul and then reshape her body?”
“No,” Jie Yuan shook his head. “You’er’s soul is very special. Although it is a pure demon soul that was split apart, it still comes from the combination of me and Ni Xuan, and is different from the soul of any living being. Moreover, if other souls are used to repair her soul, then You’er with a complete soul… is she still You’er? Is You’er mixed with other souls still my daughter?”
“…” Yun Che was unable to answer. Ni Xuan and Jie Yuan, the Elemental Creation God and the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor, their forbidden union, the offspring born was undoubtedly the most special and unique existence in the world.
The only way to make Hong'er and You'er whole again is to let their souls merge again and become a complete "Nijie", but...
"I originally thought about re-melting Hong'er and You'er's souls, and then reshaping their bodies, so that my child with him can come back intact. But your words convinced me... Hong'er and You'er already have their own
Independent experiences, memories and wills are also my daughters. How can I erase their existence just to retrieve the 'Nijie'? "
Yun Che thought for a moment and said, “So, Senior, you already have a solution?”
"The answer lies with you," Jie Yuan said.
Yun Che: “???”
Jie Yuan continued, "You told me at the beginning that Hong'er's complete existence was probably because the patriarch of the Sword Spirit God Clan used his own soul as the source to reshape her soul, and then reshaped her body after her soul was complete. In fact, I knew at the time that this was simply impossible."
Yun Che: “Eh?”
"My and Nixuan's daughter has the most special soul in the world. It is impossible for her to be compatible with the souls of other living beings, even other creator gods and demon emperors. And with Nixuan's personality, he must be more unwilling than I am to accept his daughter mixed with the souls of other living beings."
"The other part of Hong'er's soul that makes it 'complete' is actually the sword soul that Ni Xuan...created personally!"
The sword spirit created by the evil god...his own hands?
"Hong'er and You'er's souls cannot be combined with any other human souls, so weapon souls became the only choice. And Hong'er's sword soul contains Ni Xuan's most original soul aura, which can only be created by him personally. From then on, Hong'er is a fusion of human soul and sword soul, half human and half sword."
"And the power of 'light' in the sword soul must have been specially given to Hong'er in order to let her stay safely in the Sword Spirit Clan. Perhaps it was given by the Sword Spirit Clan leader, or perhaps it was given by that woman Li Suo."
"The Heaven-Smiting Demon-Slaying Sword, the name of the sword he personally engraved on Hong'er's sword soul. The word 'Demon-Slaying' is for her identity in the Sword Spirit God Clan, and 'Heaven-Smiting'..." Jie Yuan closed his eyes, his voice trembling for a moment: "Perhaps, it is the obsession he is unwilling to let go of."
The Sky Smiting Demon Clan is a clan that can transform into swords. Hong'er's mother is the Sky Smiting Demon Emperor, and her soul has a special affinity with swords. The Sky Smiting Demon Slayer Sword she transformed into has the bright attribute of slaying demons, and also has the special demonic power from the Sky Smiting Demon Emperor.
And the fact that Hong'er feeds on swords is a special abnormality that even Jie Yuan cannot understand.
Yun Che’s heart was shaken violently.
At the beginning, when the Ice Phoenix Spirit told him about it, she guessed that Hong'er's complete existence was given by the patriarch of the Sword Spirit God Clan, so she could transform into the Demon Slayer Sword with sacred power. Although it was a guess, she was quite certain... It turned out that she guessed wrong, and all this was done by the evil god himself.
Indeed, as a proud evil god and the offspring of him and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, how could he allow his daughter to be mixed with the souls of other creatures... If that were the case, the complete "Hong'er" would never be his pure daughter again.
If Jie Yuan had not returned, no one in the world would ever know who created the complete Hong'er... because after that, the evil god could not see Hong'er again, and could not let the world know that she was his daughter, including Hong'er herself.
After Hong'er was completed, she became someone else's daughter... Everyone knew that Hong'er was the daughter of the patriarch of the Sword Spirit Clan.
As the father of a daughter, he could not imagine the helplessness, sadness and grief that the evil god must have carried after he turned around and left.
“Could it be that Senior is planning to let You’er do the same as Hong’er… and also shape half a sword spirit for her?” Yun Che finally understood Jie Yuan’s meaning.
"No," Jie Yuan shook his head. "It is not so easy to create a sword spirit that can perfectly match Hong'er and You'er. The sword spirit that Ni Xuan created for Hong'er required at least the search for thousands of Heavenly Spirit Swords. The process of matching them together cost him a great deal."
"In the chaotic world back then, he probably couldn't do it a second time, otherwise, he would have forged a sword soul suitable for You'er. But in the chaotic world today, it's impossible to find even a 'divine' sword, so how could he forge a similar sword soul for You'er?"
Yun Che seemed to understand Jie Yuan's words, but not quite. How could he understand a power that involved the level of a Creator God?
"I plan to let You'er... share Hong'er's sword spirit!" Jie Yuan said slowly.
