“In less than three years… is this really possible?” the Eternal Heaven God Emperor murmured.
He witnessed Yun Che’s Conferred God Battle at the Profound God Convention, and saw him attract the Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation… He had seen too many miracles in Yun Che, and gradually, they became somewhat commonplace.
He once called Yun Che a prodigy, the miracle of the Eastern Region, the only son of God, and even a freak... But, even if he was a freak, even if he was beyond common sense, there should always be a basic limit.
The God Realm's history of a million years was neither long nor short. In every era, there would always be amazing geniuses appearing. But compared to Yun Che, the divine light they had left behind or were still shining seemed so dim.
In less than three years, he went from being a new Divine King to being able to kill the severely injured Tai Yin. As the Eternal Heaven Divine Emperor, he couldn't believe it and couldn't accept it.
But now his mind was in a mess and he could no longer think. He looked at the black energy rising from Zhou Qingchen, and his fingers trembled without stopping for a moment.
Having followed Zhou Xuzi all his life, Tai Yu knew very well what Zhou Qingchen meant to him. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Yun Che had the ability to kill Qu Hui and Tai Yin, but he chose to spare Qingchen's life. It was obvious that he wanted to..."
Tai Yu didn't say the second half of the sentence, but how could the Emperor of Heaven not understand? Turning his son into a demon... For him, there was no more cruel revenge in the world than this.
Even he himself never knew that as the Emperor of Eternal Heaven, who had cultivated his mind for tens of thousands of years, he could still be so miserable and helpless.
"Perhaps, there is another way." Tai Yu said: "Darkness is extremely afraid of light. The Dragon Queen of the Western Regions must have a way to save Qingchen."
“No,” the Emperor of Heaven slowly shook his head, his eyes dull, “Yun Che has the merit of saving the world, but because of his demonic body, he is being hunted down by the whole world, led by me, Heaven…”
“My son Qingchen… if I protect him and save him, the world will doubt me. I am a person with a low reputation, but how can I… tarnish the reputation of Eternal Heaven?” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor closed his eyes: “Moreover, the light profound energy can purify the external devil’s breath, but the body, life energy, and profound energy have all been possessed by the devil… How can it be purified? Otherwise, Yun Che, who also possesses the light profound energy, would have purified himself long ago.”
"It's different, this is different." Tai Yu said: "Yun Che has fallen into the devil, and there will be endless troubles. No matter how great his achievements are, he must be killed for the sake of future peace. Qingchen was forcibly attacked by a devil, and with his identity as the Crown Prince of Eternal Heaven, they will definitely tolerate it even if the world knows about it. Moreover, with our friendship with the Dragon God Realm, even if we ask for help from the Dragon Emperor and the Dragon Queen to no avail, they have no reason to make it public."
“No… can’t…” The Eternal Sky God Emperor murmured in astonishment. These two simple words could not be more simple, but the pain and helplessness contained in them were as heavy as a thousand mountains.
Taiyu took a deep breath, feeling deep sorrow in his heart.
If Yun Che had not been there, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor would not have been like this. But Yun Che had truly saved the world, but because of the word "demon", he was hunted down by the entire world. Moreover, Yun Che's "demon possession" was because of him being the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, and the hunt for him was indeed led by the Eternal Heaven God Realm.
Zhou Qingchen was the crown prince of Zhou Tian... but apart from this noble status, he could not be compared with Yun Che in any other aspect.
With Yun Che as the "prerequisite", how could Zhou Xuzi, or even the Zhoutian God Realm, be qualified to protect Zhou Qingchen! The only thing he should do is to follow his Zhoutian's beliefs and laws and kill the demon Zhou Qingchen.
However, he is the Crown Prince of Zhoutian, the successor of Zhouxuzi's will and power, and his most important relative...no one else.
"Father...King..."
Zhou Qingchen's voice rang in his ears... Even strong people like Zhou Xuzi and Tai Yu were so confused that they didn't even notice when he woke up.
With Zhou Qingchen's cultivation, the trauma he suffered would not cause him to fall into a coma. Obviously, the trauma he suffered was countless times greater than his physical injuries, and his coma was because he simply could not accept his current situation.
"Qingchen!" Zhou Xuzi took a step forward and stood in front of him.
Although he opened his eyes, Zhou Qingchen's eyes were empty, and his voice was extremely weak: "Zhou Tian's reputation cannot be... tarnished by me..."
"Father...kill me."
Zhou Xuzi's body shook violently.
“Qingchen,” Taiyu tried his best to make his voice sound gentle, but his eyes turned slightly away: “You don’t have to be like this, there will be a way, you have to believe in your father, believe in Zhoutian.”
Tai Yu's words to comfort Zhou Qingchen actually made Zhou Xuzi's expression slightly calmer. He sighed and said, "Yes, there will be a way... Just have a good sleep first."
He pressed his palm, and Zhou Qingchen fell unconscious again.
Although he was not manic or collapsed, the dejection and despair he showed was not suitable for being in a
State of consciousness.
“Taiyu, I will take Qingchen to see the ancestor… guard this place.”
"I understand." Venerable Taiyu nodded.
Ancestor...is indeed the only hope.
Under the Eternal Heaven Tower, there is a world that only the Eternal Heaven God Emperor can enter and exit freely.
This is a pale world, where one strangely cannot feel space and time.
In the paleness, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor walked slowly towards them, holding the unconscious Zhou Qingchen in his arms. His steps were slower and heavier than ever before.
He stopped walking, put Zhou Qingchen down, knelt on one knee, and said in a sorrowful voice: "Ancestor, how can I save my son Qingchen?"
"Qingchen has never been in the world before, and has never had any evil thoughts, let alone any evil deeds. If Yun Che wants revenge, he should take it on me. Why did Qingchen have to suffer this devilish calamity?"
The pale world was silent for a long time, and then an extremely old and ethereal voice came: "It is the eternal darkness."
“Darkness…eternal calamity?” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor muttered absentmindedly.
"In the Age of Gods and Demons, it is difficult to say who is stronger or weaker among the four Demon Emperors of the Demon Race. However, when it comes to controlling the dark profound energy, it is generally recognized that the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor is the best. Her 'Eternal Tribulation of Darkness' contains the ultimate of the laws of darkness in the world. If this is the case, the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor can be called the leader of the four Demon Emperors."
“The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor… left the Eternal Tribulation of Darkness… to Yun Che?” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor murmured.
That is the magic power of the Demon Emperor!
“Although Qingchen is young, his cultivation is extraordinary. With his divine body, he was forcibly demonized. Even in the fragmentary memories of the ‘Eternal Heaven Pearl’, the only one who could do this is the ‘Eternal Tribulation of Darkness’ of the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor.”
“In this case, before leaving, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor must have left his core bloodline and core magic skills to Yun Che. This is the only possibility.”
Eternal Sky God Emperor: "..."
“It’s just…” The old voice became even more ethereal: “The profound skills of the Demon Emperor and the God of Creation are unique to themselves. Even other Demon Emperors and Gods of Creation find it difficult to practice them, let alone mortals.”
“In just a few years, he has made such progress. Yun Che…what kind of monster is he?”
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor was shocked. The old man's words came from the memory of the Eternal Heaven Pearl, so it couldn't be false. And any power in cognition couldn't forcibly transform a God Lord into a demon... So, Yun Che not only had the inheritance of the Heretic God, but also the inheritance of the Demon Emperor!
The future is unimaginable.
“Ancestor…is there any way to save Qingchen?” Zhoutian Divine Emperor pleaded. All his thoughts were now focused on this.
“Two methods.”
The response from the old voice made the Eternal Heaven God Emperor raise his head sharply.
"First," the old voice said slowly, "break his profound veins and disperse all his profound energy. Then cut off all his meridians, extract his marrow, and replace the blood in his body. When his vital energy is at its weakest, use the profound energy of light to forcibly purify it... If he can survive, he may be able to escape from the darkness."
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor stood there, speechless.
"The chance of death from this method is more than 50%. Even if it succeeds, Qingchen will be crippled for life and need to rely on spiritual medicine and black jade to survive. Even if he continues to be maintained by the highest grade spiritual medicine and black jade, his remaining life will not exceed a thousand years."
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's throat moved, and he said with difficulty: "Please teach me the second method, ancestor."
Zhou Qingchen could not accept this method, nor could any profound practitioner accept it, because it was far more cruel than death.
"Yun...Che." The old voice slowly said two words.
“……!” The pupils of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor dilated: “What the ancestor meant is…”
“The Eternal Tribulation of Darkness has the ultimate control over the dark profound energy. Yun Che can now use the Eternal Tribulation of Darkness to forcibly transform people, so he can also use the power of the Eternal Tribulation of Darkness to erase them.”
"Only Yun Che can do this."
"Besides this, with my lifelong knowledge and even the fragmented memories of the Eternal Heaven Pearl, there is no other possibility."
"..." The Eternal Sky God Emperor looked up at the sky, unable to speak for a long time.
The deathly silence lasted for more than half an hour before the Eternal Heaven God Emperor finally moved. He took Zhou Qingchen with him, turned around and left, his footsteps even heavier than when he arrived.
Zhou Xuzi left, and the pale world returned to its eternal silence. But not long after, the pale voice slowly sounded again: "Yun Che... He is clearly a mortal body, why does everything about him seem to transcend the boundaries that the God of Creation and the Devil Didu cannot cross..."
"Yun Che's hatred is deep enough to sink into the abyss. There is no possibility of recovery."
"Could it be that my uneasiness over the years is not due to the Heaven Smiting Devil?
emperor……"
After returning to the temple, Tai Yu looked at the face of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor and knew the result. He did not ask, but said: "My Lord, should we go and get Yun Che now?"
“No,” the Emperor of Heaven shook his head. “He is obviously confident of Qingchen’s trip. He must be no longer in the Absolute Beginning Divine Realm. The Absolute Beginning Divine Realm is too dangerous and not accessible to ordinary profound practitioners. If this matter is made public, countless profound practitioners will surely enter the Absolute Beginning Divine Realm for the reward. The consequences are unpredictable… It is also possible that some traces will expose Qingchen’s matter.”
Venerable Taiyu nodded slightly: "What should we do now?"
The Emperor of Heaven raised his eyes slightly, and his old eyes, which had been gray for a long time, finally regained some of their former determination: "Do you still remember the fight with the Demon Queen of the Northern Territory?"
“Of course I remember.” Venerable Taiyu slowly said the name: “Chi Wuyao, there is no woman in this world more terrifying than her.”
“It was because of that battle that we learned that a female Divine Master had appeared in the remote northern border, the Snow Song Realm that is closest to the Northern Divine Region. It is because of her that Yun Che is left behind.”
Mu Xuanyin!
Thinking of Mu Xuanyin, Tai Yu's brows twitched fiercely, and he said, "That battle took place nearly ten thousand years ago. At that time, Mu Xuanyin had just entered the Divine Lord Realm. Several decades ago, there were rumors that she had reached the fourth level of the Divine Lord Realm, which was an extraordinary progress. And when she rescued Yun Che, her strength was already at the Divine Lord Realm. If it weren't for her, Yun Che would have died at the hands of the Moon God Emperor, and there would have been no chance of escape."
"The icy northern border, the barren middle land, the thin Ice Phoenix inheritance... I still can't figure out how she has the strength to reach the top."
“Since the person is dead, there is no point in talking about it.” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor said, his eyes gradually became deep, and he recalled the scene of that year, and said in a daze: “Ten thousand years ago, the Northern Territory’s Pure Heaven God Emperor died suddenly, and his new wife seized the throne and changed the name of the kingdom to ‘Soul Robbery’. It should have been a time of civil strife, but he appeared in my Eastern Territory shortly after that.”
“In that battle, you and I, along with Qianye Fantian and Qianye Wubei, originally wanted to use this opportunity to kill her directly, but we were deceived by her deliberate appearance of defeat and were led to the border of the Northern Territory, where we attracted the demonic energy of thousands of miles and used the terrifying [Zero Zero.] and incomparable soul-stealing magic… Even a strong man like Qianye Fantian still feels uneasy when he mentions Chi Wuyao’s name.”
Tai Yu’s eyebrows twitched involuntarily. Even though such a long time had passed, every time he thought of the words “Chi Wuyao” and “soul robbery”, his heart would twitch.
Over the years, the Eastern Divine Region has never dared to enter the Northern Divine Region without permission. The battle that year was a major reason for this.
That battle unexpectedly alarmed the Snow Song Realm, which was closest to the Northern Divine Region... Mu Xuanyin, who had just succeeded to the throne of Realm King not long ago.
The Lord of the Middle Star Realm was naturally very impressive. But that was a battle between the Demon Queen, the God Emperor, the Guardian, and the Brahma God. Her strength as a new Lord of the Gods was not qualified to participate at all. But she forced herself into the battle, totally disregarding life and death.
Later, she learned that because the Snow Song Realm was too close to the Northern Divine Region, it often encountered demons trying to escape from the Northern Divine Region. The Realm King lineage she belonged to was undoubtedly the leader in the fight against the demons. Therefore, some of her ancestors and even some of her closest relatives died at the hands of the Northern Divine Region demons.
Therefore, she has a deep hatred for the demon.
Even someone as strong as Qianye Fantian had been tricked by Chi Wuyao and suffered a lot, which still scarred him. The consequences of Mu Xuanyin's forced attack when she first entered the Divine Lord realm were imaginable.
She fell unconscious due to the "Soul Snatcher" and fell into the hands of Chi Wuyao.
But strangely, Mu Xuanyin escaped safely afterwards. No one knew how she escaped from Chi Wuyao's hands... Not even she herself knew.
Perhaps, Chi Wuyao was already at the end of her strength at that time, and she did not waste her last bit of energy to kill an insignificant person, but instead focused on escaping deep into the Northern Territory.
"Master, why do you suddenly mention this?" Tai Yu asked.
He had always known that the Emperor of Heaven never wanted to mention that battle. The world had never known about that battle either… After all, the two most powerful Emperors of the East Region, plus the most powerful Guardian and the most powerful Brahma God, were all in such a mess at the hands of a woman from the North Region, how could they make it public?
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor was silent for a while, then asked, “Back then, the mark that Chi Wuyao left behind… is it still intact?”
Tai Yu was stunned for a moment, frowned and said: "Master, do you want to..."
The Emperor of Heaven slowly closed his eyes, speaking in a heavy and slow voice: "Qingchen's calamity was caused by me. I must not ruin the rest of his life because of my thoughts... Otherwise, even if his soul returns to the west, he will not be able to face the ancestors, let alone her."
“In the battle that year, Chi Wuyao’s ambitions were clearly revealed. It was clearly an extremely bold and ambitious test.” The Eternal Heaven God Emperor slowly clenched his hands, “Since that’s the case, I will make a deal with her….”
