"Yun Che, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you all this time."
The Ice Phoenix girl's voice was as soft as water and as ethereal as a dream.
On the day Jie Yuan returned, she sensed her aura for the first time. The Crimson Calamity broke out earlier than she expected.
But afterwards, the aura of chaos unexpectedly calmed down. Today, she finally waited for Yun Che's arrival. His safety was a great comfort to her.
Yun Che took a step forward, a smile on his face: "Well, I'm here, you must have been very worried during this period."
“It seems that what came with you is good news.” Sensing Yun Che’s emotions, the Ice Phoenix girl’s voice became even more gentle and heartwarming.
“Yes!” Yun Che nodded heavily. Then, he told her everything that happened after Jie Yuan returned, one by one, in great detail… until the moment when the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor was about to return to the Outer Chaos and forever destroy the passage connecting the Inner and Outer Chaos.
The bottom of the Tianchi Lake fell into silence for a long time, and then a long sigh was heard from the Ice Phoenix girl.
"The Evil God is the greatest god of the God Clan. As the supreme being in the world, he used his last life to leave behind the hope of saving future generations. And the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, isn't she also great enough to make people sigh."
“No wonder, the evil god who was the creator of the world back then would be so obsessed with her.”
"However, future generations may never know that the world they live in was given by this couple who were once unacceptable to the world. If the gods and demons still have spirits in heaven, I wonder what they would think."
“Not only them, but also you,” Yun Che said seriously: “If it weren’t for your concern for all living things, your persistence in existence, and the most important guidance you gave me, perhaps, there wouldn’t be the result today.”
"Compared to the evil god couple, my contribution is so insignificant. But you... faced the returning demon emperor head-on as a mortal, and finally resolved the disaster. You deserve all the glory and praise in the world, and deserve to be praised by all spirits for thousands of generations."
“Uh…” Yun Che really couldn’t bear this, because he always felt that his efforts were not worthy of this result.
"So, my worries are over, my wish is fulfilled, and I can finally leave with peace of mind."
These words were still so gentle and plain, without any reluctance or hesitation.
Yun Che raised his eyes, his expression complicated, and sighed, “Does it have to be this way?”
"You don't need to keep me, and you don't need to feel sad for me," the Ice Phoenix girl said softly, "I shouldn't have existed in this era. I only exist today because of the attachment I can't let go of. Now, I have achieved the most perfect result. I no longer have any attachment or reason to exist."
“Please… treat the daughter of the Heretic God and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor well. This is my last request.”
“Okay!” Yun Che nodded heavily and said word by word: “As long as I am alive, I will never let them suffer any injustice.”
Ding…ping!
At this moment, a rapidly spreading crack appeared on the ice crystal where the Ice Phoenix girl was located, and then shattered, releasing her jade-carved body, as well as the power and life that she had sealed with all her strength.
An extremely deep blue glow spread over the bottom of the Tianchi Lake and spread all the way over the lake.
And the most intense one covered Yun Che's body.
"Giving you my last bit of strength is the best destination for my remaining life and soul."
Every inch of the icy jade-like body in his sight was so magnificent and flawless, but Yun Che did not have a single whim in his heart. He knew that as the ice crystals shattered, the last remaining gods would also soon dissipate.
Zheng
After a brief silence, all the icy blue rays of light suddenly transformed into countless blue light stars that quickly flew towards Yun Che, and merged silently into his body the moment they touched him.
The world in front of Yun Che suddenly turned into
The ice blue became deeper and deeper until he could no longer see the figure of the Ice Phoenix Girl. He closed his eyes and quietly accepted the last gift of the Ice Phoenix Girl... which was also her last life.
one day……
Two days...
Three days...
When Yun Che opened his eyes, the world before his eyes no longer had the icy blue glow and bright stars. Only the water of the Tianchi Lake was still flowing silently with extreme coldness.
There was an azure star in his profound veins.
In front of his eyes, the figure of the Ice Phoenix girl had become as illusory as fog, but on her illusory and beautiful face was a faint smile: "Yun Che, your strength and profound veins are extremely special. If the last of my Ice Phoenix divine power can be fully refined, it can help any living being become a Divine Lord. Only for you, perhaps becoming a Divine Sovereign is already the limit."
“This is already a great gift to me.” Yun Che said gratefully, “I will refine it completely as soon as possible and will never waste your gift. I will also, on behalf of the world, always remember your existence and all the gifts you have given to this world.”
The Ice Phoenix girl smiled, and her body became increasingly blurry.
“There is one last thing. Please let the Ice Phoenix Spirit know.” Yun Che said. He had not forgotten what the Ice Phoenix girl had said to him… about Mu Xuanyin.
The Ice Phoenix girl was silent for a moment, and then she said softly, "I'll say it again. Knowing the truth about this matter will not benefit you. On the contrary, it may harm your mood to a certain extent. If you don't know it, you will be fine for the rest of your life. Even so, do you really have to know it?"
Yun Che nodded without hesitation: "I want to know."
“Okay.” Since it was Yun Che’s wish, the Ice Phoenix girl no longer hesitated and slowly spoke: “I told you last time that your master was able to become the first Divine Master in the history of the Snow Song Realm, and her strength has greatly increased in recent years, all because of the Ice Phoenix Divine Soul that I bestowed on her a long time ago.”
Yun Che nodded slightly.
"And it is precisely because of the existence of the Ice Phoenix Spirit that I can easily interfere with her will."
Yun Che was stunned, his brows slightly furrowed. Then he suddenly thought of something, and his heart suddenly skipped a beat: “Could it be that you have actually interfered with her will at certain times over the years?”
The Ice Phoenix girl said, “In the past, it was indeed only occasionally, but ever since you arrived in the Snow Song Realm, my interference in her will has always existed and has never stopped.”
Yun Che’s pupils slightly dilated, and he suddenly felt an extremely uneasy feeling in his heart: “You interfered with her will… What? In what aspect?”
Slightly surprised by Yun Che’s reaction, the Ice Phoenix girl continued, “Seven years ago, when you first stepped into the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake, I sensed your presence and vaguely sensed the power of the Heretic God that you carried.”
"Later, you sank into the Tianchi Lake and met me. I read your memory, and from it, I learned a lot of truths that shocked me, and I also saw great hope."
Yun Che listened in silence, his hands tightening unconsciously, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart continued to grow.
“However, I cannot leave Tianchi and cannot protect and guide your growth, so I chose Mu Xuanyin… When you left Tianchi, I used the Ice Phoenix Spirit in her body as a medium to carve the mark of ‘treating you more than anything else’ into her soul.”
Buzz
In Yun Che’s mind, it was as if something suddenly exploded.
“Heh, heh…” He laughed, and his laugh was particularly sad: “You mean… all the kindness that Master showed me was not her original intention, but just… because of your interference… Heh… are you kidding me… are you kidding me!”
His hands were shaking, and his heart was cold... He had never heard such ridiculous words before! How could there be such ridiculous words in the world!
His thoughts became extremely confused, so confused that he himself could hardly believe it. Even his vision became vaguely blurred... However, his memory of Mu Xuanyin was extremely clear. Every picture, every look, every word, was vivid in his mind.
language……
And... the doubts he had had countless times.
He wondered why Mu Xuanyin treated him so well...
When he first arrived in Snow Song, Mu Xuanyin was the Great Realm King of the Snow Song Realm and the first Divine Lord in history. He had supreme status and prestige, controlled the power of life and death of countless creatures, and stood at the highest level in the entire Divine Realm.
And Yun Che, a humble junior from the lower realm whose cultivation level had not even reached the divine path, a person whom even the lowest-level disciples of the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect would not even look at… The only thing that made him special was that he was brought here by Mu Bingyun and had saved her life.
The gap between him and Mu Xuanyin, in every aspect, was more than a world of difference.
Furthermore, before Yun Che met Mu Xuanyin, he had heard many times that the Snow Song Realm King was an extremely cold and heartless person who never showed any mercy or warmth. The entire Ice Phoenix Sect, from top to bottom in Snow Song, feared her far more than they respected her.
But, only for him...
Yun Che also felt that it was natural to accept him as his disciple because his control of the icy profound energy was far superior to that of all other disciples. However, everything that happened afterwards… everything…
Time and time again, it was so good that he almost felt unreal every time.
Especially, during her usual exchanges with Mu Bingyun, even she was clearly deeply surprised, or shocked as to why Mu Xuanyin was so nice to her.
Yes...why...
How could a junior profound practitioner from the lower realm make her, a Divine Lord Realm King, act like this?
She never coveted anything, and did her best to hide the power of the Heretic God for him... She let him use the Heavenly Netherfrost Pond that even the elders and palace masters could not touch for a hundred years... She plotted for him to have Huo Rulie seize the Golden Crow Burning World Record... She completely wiped out her sin of blasphemy with a rebuke... She abandoned the entire sect and cared only for him for two whole years before the Profound God Conference... She got angry at the Sword Lord for him... She merged the Qiankun Five Qiongdan for him... She secretly followed him into the Bingfeng Empire, and then secretly followed him into the Eternal Heaven God Realm...
In order to save him, he even faced Gu Zhu head-on, and he really didn't care about the safety of the entire Yinxue Realm.
Why...
It turned out that all of this was just the interference of others' will, and not her own will at all!
During these years, all the doubts, astonishments and even incredulity have been resolved. As expected, there is no such thing as inexplicable and unreasonable good in this world... and it is good that transcends common sense and abandons principles.
From the beginning, she treated him better than anything else, she was willing to sacrifice everything for him, and even had vague feelings that hovered on the edge of taboo... From beginning to end, it was not Mu Xuanyin, but the will of the Ice Phoenix Soul!
But why is this answer so ridiculous and cruel?
The scene of him hugging her and whispering "Xuanyin" in her ear is still vivid in front of her eyes. The throbbing of her heart at that moment is deeply engraved in her soul.
but……
"Your concern about this matter is beyond my expectation." The Ice Phoenix girl looked at him and said slowly: "I hope you can accept this matter as soon as possible."
Yun Che's dramatic reaction made her regret telling him the truth.
Yun Che clenched his hands, and clenched them again. He couldn’t describe the feeling in his heart… It was as if an important fragment of his soul suddenly turned into an illusion, and scattered into a hole that made him extremely uncomfortable and perhaps unfillable.
"Untie it." He spoke only two short, extremely stiff words.
“…” The Ice Phoenix girl was silent. She knew what Yun Che meant by that, and was surprised that he would say those two words. After a long while, she said softly, “If my interference is eliminated, she will treat you differently with her own will. Moreover, with everything that happened between you, she will most likely develop strong anger and resistance towards you… or even murderous intent.”
"I think you should understand this."
She had always been observing the world through Mu Xuanyin’s Ice Phoenix Spirit, so she could see everything that happened between her and Yun Che.
