You'er followed Hong'er into the world of the Sky Poison Pearl. She did not spend too much time looking at this new world, and soon fell asleep with Hong'er.
After all, both she and Hong'er needed a long time to adapt to the spiritual state that was different from before.
Although she has merged with the sword soul, You'er's existence has become half human and half sword like Hong'er, but at least her soul is complete. Her emotional expression, language, touch, and smell will slowly recover, and she will gradually have real life and body.
"In this case, I have nothing to worry about." Jie Yuan whispered to himself.
But, are you really free of worries?
"Senior, what did you say?"
Jie Yuan's words were too soft for Yun Che to hear clearly. But the faint voice that entered his ears made him vaguely feel that there was something unusual.
Jie Yuan turned to look at him, his expression cold and solemn: "Now, not only Hong'er, You'er's life is also connected to you. My daughter with Nixuan, my two daughters with Nixuan, their future fate will be completely controlled by you."
Yun Che’s expression was calm, and he said in an extremely solemn manner: “Don’t worry, Senior, I swear here…”
"Hmph, no need." Jie Yuan interrupted what he was about to say: "In this world, there is nothing more ridiculous than an oath. I am doing this not only because you are my only choice, but also because I trust you."
“Okay.” Yun Che nodded: “I will not let down the trust that you have placed in me.”
As the supreme Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, he had completely tied his daughter's fate to a mortal like him. This could undoubtedly be regarded as the greatest and most important trust in the world... At the same time, it was also a tremendous pressure.
“In that case, I should also fulfill my promise.” Jie Yuan spoke slowly, and in an extremely calm tone, he said something that shocked Yun Che: “I will destroy the passage opened up on the Wall of Chaos with the Qiankun Thorn, so that my people cannot return, and will never bring disaster to the current chaotic world.”
“…” Yun Che stood there in a daze, staring at Jie Yuan, unable to speak for a long time.
Jie Yuan's intention was actually... to make those demon gods stay outside of the chaos forever, and never be able to return!
It is also natural as Jie Yuan said, it will definitely not cause any harm to the current chaos!
This was an answer that Yun Che had absolutely never thought of, and it was also a result that no one could possibly believe.
If this is true, Jie Yuan has undoubtedly betrayed and abandoned all of her people for the sake of the safety of the world!
At Jie Yuan's level, all living beings in the world are undoubtedly humble mortals, no different from the smallest ants. With just a simple snap of her fingers, she can decide the life, death and fate of all living beings and all star realms.
No one would doubt that any one of her clansmen who were exiled to the Outer Chaos because of her and suffered with her for millions of years is more important to her than anyone else in the world!
But now, she actually said with her own mouth... that she would abandon all her people with her own hands!!
“Senior, you… are you… serious?” Yun Che’s words were extremely difficult.
"Do you remember what I said to you on the first day I returned?" Jie Yuan said slowly, her expression still calm. Perhaps, this decision had been made in her mind a long time ago: "I told you at that time that after my people returned, I would not control them from venting their hatred, and it was impossible to control them at all."
“…” Of course Yun Che remembered.
“Although I am the Demon Emperor of the Heaven Smiting Demon Clan, and my orders were the decrees of heaven that could not be violated in the clan back then, but…” Jie Yuan seemed to sigh faintly, “After all, their souls are far less powerful than mine. The pain, resentment, and despair of these years have long twisted their minds. Every demon god that is still alive has become a complete ghost of resentment.”
"If they return to this world, they will vent their anger on everything. No one and no method can stop them, including me."
"In addition, more than 90% of the tribe members have died in the outer chaos over the years. The remaining demon gods are actually at the end of their lifespans. They have very little life left. The oldest one has at most... only ten thousand years left."
"Instead, let them live in the
Rather than bear endless sins for several lifetimes and destroy the fragile chaotic world, it would be better to..."
Jie Yuan's words suddenly stopped, as if she couldn't continue. She turned her face slightly to the side, and a hint of pain flashed across her face.
Yun Che listened silently. Jie Yuan’s words undoubtedly pulled the fate of Chaos back to heaven from the edge of the abyss. He could already foresee how excited and ecstatic the people in the God Realm would be after hearing this news.
Yun Che should have been pleasantly surprised, but when facing Jie Yuan, what surged in his heart was more surprise and shock.
She would actually sacrifice all her people for this chaotic world that had failed her and now had almost nothing to do with her. She actually... actually...
Undoubtedly, she will feel guilty towards all her tribesmen, and even more guilty towards herself. She will undoubtedly be the one who suffers the most.
This is her answer, this is her decision...a demon, and the king of demons!
The shock in his heart was beyond words.
"You can now bring the news to those who are anxiously waiting, so that they can feel at ease as soon as possible." Jie Yuan spoke again: "When the time comes, I will go to the place where I returned and destroy the space channel... Only I can destroy it. And after destroying it, the same space channel will never be able to reappear."
“…” Yun Che nodded, his movements were particularly stiff: “Okay.”
"After that, Hong'er and You'er will be entrusted to you. Remember your promise... If you dare to hurt or abandon them, no matter where I am, whether I am alive or dead, I will never forgive you!"
"Senior, rest assured, I will..." He was about to make a solemn promise again, but suddenly realized that something was wrong with Jie Yuan's words. He frowned and asked in astonishment: "Senior, where are you...going? Don't tell me that you won't be with Hong'er and You'er in the future?"
"Where are you going?" Jie Yuan smiled faintly. She looked towards the distant east, her pupils as deep as darkness. "Of course I'm going to accompany my people."
Yun Che was shocked again and said anxiously: “Senior, you…”
“Back then, they were banished to the Outer Chaos because of me.” Jie Yuan knew what Yun Che wanted to say, so she interrupted him coldly, “They have been struggling in the Outer Chaos for so many years, just for the hope of today, but I will personally extinguish this only hope and cruelly betray them.”
"I have committed an unforgivable sin, how can I abandon them?"
“…” Yun Che stared at Jie Yuan. Her body was shrouded in darkness, and her face was engraved with countless terrible scars that even her strength could not erase. Her eyes were as terrifying as the abyss, and no one dared to look directly at them for even a moment.
She is clearly the most terrifying demon in the eyes of the world, the most intolerable demon in the world, the most terrifying demon emperor among all demons...
“Senior, you don’t have to do this.” Yun Che’s heart and soul were shaking with incomparable complexity. His understanding of demons was once again completely turned upside down: “Because of your Qiankun Thorn, your people can still exist until now, and the hope of returning is also because of you. You… don’t owe anyone anything.”
"Besides, You'er and Hong'er both need you."
Once upon a time, he was so terrified of the return of the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor.
And now, his heart and soul did not want her to leave so strongly.
“I returned to Outer Chaos not only because I didn’t want to abandon my people.” Jie Yuan was still so calm and indifferent: “Yun Che, do you think… I am someone who should exist in this world?”
“…” Yun Che was unable to answer for a moment.
"The aura and laws of chaos today are several levels weaker than they were back then. My power and my existence are no longer something that the laws of chaos can withstand. You have already seen that with my return, the mysterious beasts have begun to go crazy on a larger and larger scale, and the order of planets and star realms has begun to collapse one after another."
"During the time I was on Blue Pole Star, although I was able to control the order of Blue Pole Star, but... in less than two months, the order of nearly 10,000 planets around it was completely disrupted, and half of the planets were wiped out. And these are all sins I have committed... huge sins."
If a living being can become a true god in this world, then it is born in accordance with the laws of this world and will not affect the order. But Jie Yuan is an outsider who suddenly came from the "outer chaos". In addition, her power level is too high.
The impact of chaotic order is too great.
The disaster caused is so great that ordinary people cannot even imagine it.
"If I continue to exist, I don't know how long it will take for Chaos to adapt to my existence. By that time, I don't know how many planets and stars, and how many lives will be destroyed because of me."
"Since I have decided to sacrifice my people for this world, then I am someone who should not exist in this world."
"This is my decision, and it will not be changed. It is the best outcome for me, Hong'er and You'er, you, and all the living beings in this chaotic world."
Jie Yuan’s voice lingered in Yun Che’s ears and soul for a long time, unable to dissipate.
Yes, this is the best outcome. The Devil God will not return, and even the Devil Emperor will take the initiative to return to the outer chaos. This is an ending that could never have happened in the most absurd dreams before, and it is so beautiful that it is unreal.
But for some reason, Yun Che couldn't feel happy. He paused for a long time and asked, "When?"
"Nine days later." Jie Yuan said, "If you delay any further, it may be too late."
If the passage to the outer chaos is opened, those demon gods will flow in one after another, and even the Heaven-Smiting Demon Emperor will not be able to stop them.
“…” Yun Che was speechless once again.
“Do you suddenly feel that I am great?” Jie Yuan said lightly.
Yun Che nodded: "You are obviously a demon, why can you do such a thing for ordinary creatures that have nothing to do with you?"
“Heh, demon…” Jie Yuan smiled coldly: “Yes, I am a demon, a demon… worthy of him.”
“…” Yun Che smiled and said softly, “Yes, I finally understand why the Heretic God was willing to violate the greatest taboo and combine with you, and why he resolutely gave up the title of Creator God for you. You are worthy of him, you are more worthy of him than anyone else in the world.”
At this moment, his respect for Jie Yuan far exceeded his fear.
Jie Yuan did not react to Yun Che's words that came from the bottom of his soul. She suddenly said, "Yun Che, answer me a question."
"Tell me, is this world... worth it?"
Yun Che raised his head and said, “If it were from the perspective of a senior, I would not be able to answer. But from the perspective of a selfish Chaos Mortal Spirit… it is worth it.”
"Compared to the world with gods and demons back then, the chaotic space today is humble. This world without gods and demons has gone through so many years of evolution, and has a new stable order and mature laws of survival, with its own stable planes and spaces. Although it has many despicable and dark corners, and sometimes even makes people despair, it is mostly kind and beautiful. At least... it is worth my protection with everything."
Jie Yuan seemed to be listening to his answer with surprising seriousness. She looked at Yun Che and said slowly, “Okay, I also hope that you can always think so. However…”
A strange black light suddenly flashed in her pupils, and her voice became deep: "Yun Che, if it weren't for you saving Hong'er back then, and taking care of You'er over the years, I wouldn't have let go of the resentment in my heart so quickly. If it weren't for you letting me trust Hong'er and You'er's future, I would never have made the decision today. So, it is indeed you who saved this world. You deserve the title of 'savior'!"
"You must remember this!"
Saving Hong'er in the Primordial Ark was a fateful encounter, and he often visited You'er because You'er saved his life first. Regardless of whether it was Hong'er or You'er, Yun Che at that time would never have thought that his encounter with them would completely change the fate of chaos and save countless lives.
"But I always feel a little unwilling."
“Unwilling?” Yun Che looked puzzled.
"I can't be sure if this world is really worth sacrificing my people for. I can't be sure if this world you saved will let you down one day."
"If I fail you, I will fail my daughter, and the biggest reason why I sacrificed everything to save this world!"
"so……"
The dark light in Jie Yuan’s pupils suddenly condensed, and as the world suddenly darkened, Jie Yuan’s palm slammed directly into Yun Che’s heart...
