Eastern Divine Region, Moon God Realm.
A beam of moonlight was soft, shining in like frost and snow.
The cold wind danced gently, and between the layers of ripples in the gauze curtains, a hazy and illusory figure of a woman appeared.
She stood in front of the window, her beautiful eyes closed. Her long hair and purple dress danced in the wind. In her calmness, she looked so distant and noble that people dared not look directly at her, let alone have the slightest thought of profaning her.
A young girl came gently over. She was wearing a light yellow palace dress and had an unparalleled appearance. In any star realm, she would be enough to cause disaster.
Her steps were light and respectful, and her head was slightly lowered. The bright moonlight shone on the girl's cheeks and delicate body, reflecting a face as tender as a young lotus that made people feel pity for her, and graceful curves that were enough to move people's hearts at a glance.
The girl stopped in the hall, bowed, and said softly, "Master, Jin Yue has something to report."
The Moon God Emperor opened his beautiful eyes. Deep in his pupils was a purple light that was a little deeper than before. “What’s the matter?”
"My Lord, Lian Yue just sent me a message. The Eternal Heaven God Emperor who concealed his presence and pretended to leave the Eternal Heaven Realm thirty hours ago has returned to the realm, but... he seems to have been seriously injured. Lian Yue specially explored the short section of his trail before he returned to the realm. In just a hundred miles, he shed blood thirty-four times, and... it seems to be the blood of his heart."
The girl's voice is as light and pleasant as a nightingale, yet as quiet and elegant as her appearance.
“…I understand.” The Moon God Emperor said, “After shedding so much blood, his aura must have been extremely chaotic, and it also left such conspicuous traces. It seems that many people must have noticed this.”
"There is one more thing." Jin Yuexue raised her hand, and in her palm was a purple crystal jade: "This is what the master ordered some time ago."
The Moon God Emperor did not take it. He scanned it with his divine sense and said, “Very good. Give it to Yao Yue and ask her to find the right time to give it to Luo Changsheng within a year.”
"Remember, it can only fall into Luo Changsheng's hands. No one else can know about it, and he must not detect any traces of us."
"Especially... it must be within one year!"
"Yes, Jin Yue will do it right away." Jin Yue bowed respectfully and stood up.
“Jin Yue.” The Moon God Emperor suddenly called out to her.
Jin Yue turned around quickly: "Master, what do you want me to do?"
“Some time ago, I asked you to destroy something… Are you sure you have destroyed it?” The Moon God Emperor spoke calmly, without any emotion in his voice.
Jin Yue was slightly startled, lowered her eyes and said: "The master ordered, Jin Yue dare not neglect, it has already been destroyed."
“That’s good.” The Moon God Emperor slowly closed his eyes, hiding the purple light as deep as the ocean: “Retreat.”
Jin Yue turned around and walked away slowly... Faintly, she felt that the Moon God Emperor seemed a little tired.
Returning to her bedroom, Jin Yue came to the couch, opened the barrier, and then gently took out a small bronze mirror from her personal space.
It had a dull metallic luster and no unusual metallic smell. This was a very ordinary bronze mirror, a kind of ornament that was only popular in the lower world.
She closed the bronze mirror in her palm, and the moonlight shone through it. With her strength, she could turn it into dust with just the slightest movement of her breath.
But, in the girl's trembling eyes, the moonlight on her hand finally slowly dissipated.
"If the owner really wanted to destroy it, he would do it himself and not give it to someone else."
"What if the master regrets it in the future..."
He opened his hands and the moonlight reappeared, this time in the form of a small and gentle protective barrier.
Very carefully, she put the bronze mirror back into her personal space.
Jin Yue, Yao Yue, and Lian Yue are Xia Qingyue's three closest maids. Lian Yue, who is in charge of the intelligence network, and Yao Yue, who is the Moon Goddess, are often on missions outside. Jin Yue has been with her the longest, and she knows very well that this bronze mirror was something Xia Qingyue never left.
Eastern Divine Region, Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.
“Cough… cough cough…”
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor covered his heart with his hands, blood foam continued to overflow from his mouth, but it could not relieve the pain in his heart in the slightest.
Back then, his beloved wife, with a smile on her lips and tears in her eyes, used her last bit of energy to personally... tremblingly put Zhou Qingchen in his arms, and then left forever. As a God Emperor, he cried loudly, his heart was broken. He thought that there would never be a greater sorrow in his life than this.
But the pain in my heart now is far greater than that of the past.
He watched Zhou Qingchen die tragically in front of him, without even a scrap of his body left behind... He was the one who brought him to the Northern Divine Region... It was his palm strike that year that brought retribution upon Zhou Qingchen.
It was as if thousands of poisonous blades were constantly cutting his heart and soul in the cruelest way. The pain was indescribable in any words.
Self-blame, regret, resentment...it was like countless demons were torturing him madly.
"My Lord..." Tai Yu half-knelt beside him, his old eyes also filled with tears.
Zhou Xuzi was usually quite strict with Zhou Qingchen, but the guardians all knew that he truly regarded Zhou Qingchen as his life.
Zhou Xuzi shook his head, and after a long while, he finally spoke with difficulty: "I'm fine... I'm fine... cough!"
Another mouthful of thick blood spurted out and fell to the ground, scarlet and glaring, like a piece of heart that was cut off alive.
Tai Yu sighed, his eyes fixed, and suddenly said: "Master, should we..."
“No, no…” Zhou Xuzi’s voice was weak, but he waved his hands slowly: “Don’t be impulsive, never again… I’ve already killed Qingchen, how can I let Zhou Tian suffer losses because of this.”
"Besides... Qingchen is gone. How can I let him be framed as a demon and exposed... Let him go with a clear conscience."
"I understand." Venerable Taiyu closed his eyes in pain: "But if the master's depression is not vented, I'm afraid... ah."
"Qingchen will not die in vain."
Zhou Xuzi's eyes were lifeless, but his exhausted voice contained a darkness and lowness that he had never heard in his life.
"The prophecy was correct. Yun Che... is indeed a devil who is bound to bring disaster to the world."
"I still have ten thousand years to live, and the rest of my life... only has one thought."
"I will personally avenge Qingchen, and I will personally... eliminate the demons from the world!"
This was the most resolute vow he had ever made in his life.
If he still felt a bit of guilt towards Yun Che before, now, he only felt hatred that was engraved into his bones.
A few days later, news spread throughout the Eastern Divine Region that Crown Prince Zhou Qingchen of Eternal Heaven had unfortunately died after suffering a backlash from his profound energy during his retreat.
The entire Eternal Heaven God Realm was covered in white, and all the realms were shocked and made countless guesses.
Northern God Territory, Soul Stealing Realm.
As the nine witches, twenty-seven souls, and three thousand six hundred soul servants all completed the dark harmony under Yun Che's command, the core power of the Soul Stealing Realm had undergone earth-shaking changes.
The scary thing is that this change is silent. Unless you fight with all your strength, others will not be able to sense it just from the aura.
As time goes by, the results of this transformation will become greater and greater, allowing them to gradually move further and further away.
Superior to the demons of the same caliber and level.
However, it is still impossible to annex the Burning Moon Realm or the Yama Realm by relying on this alone in the short term.
A long time...at least a thousand years later.
A thousand years is not a long time for the God Realm. A thousand years of growth to the point where it could overwhelm other King Realms was already a miraculous speed.
But Yun Che simply couldn't wait that long.
The "three years" he set was not a plan, but the bottom line!
After Zhou Xuzi's brief venting over the brutal killing of Zhou Qingchen, what he got was not a momentary relief, but a persistent irritation.
In the ten days since returning to the Soul Stealing Realm, Yun Che has been in a state of meditation.
His hatred was too great and too deep, and Zhou Xuzi was just one of them.
The barrier around the palace gate twisted, and Chi Wuyao walked in, shrouded in black mist.
After taking a look at Yun Che’s current condition, Chi Wuyao said with a smile, “It looks like you have recovered well. You have caused me to be worried for a while these past few days.”
Her voice was soft and charming, and it also had a hint of girlish tenderness, which made Qianye Ying'er's heart tremble. She quickly stood up, stood beside Yun Che, and asked in a cold voice: "What are you doing here?"
“You’ll have to ask the man next to you.” Chi Wuyao raised her eyebrows, “He was the one who called me here.”
"..." Qianye Ying'er was speechless.
“What kind of place is the Eternal Dark Bone Sea?” Yun Che raised his eyes and asked.
This was the name Qianye Ying'er had mentioned to him before he entered the Soul Stealing Realm, and he had always kept it in mind.
“Oh?” Chi Wuyao glanced at Qianye Ying’er with her beautiful eyes, and then said, “The Eternal Darkness Bone Sea is located in the center of the Northern Divine Region, at the bottom of the Yama Realm. Why are you asking about this place?”
“It is said that it is the source of darkness in the Northern Divine Region?” Yun Che asked… However, when Qianye Ying’er told him this rumor, he directly rejected it.
“Source vein?” As expected, Chi Wuyao narrowed her eyes and said, “Others would believe such words. But to you who carries the power of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, shouldn’t it be a joke?”
"In the Northern Divine Region, the source veins are disappearing every year and every breath. If there really is such a thing as a source vein, it would have been a dead vein long ago."
Chi Wuyao continued, “However, although it cannot be called a source vein, it is indeed the place where the dark aura is most dense in the Northern Divine Region, and it is also the most important reason why the Yama Realm has flourished to this day.”
“Where does its dark aura come from?” Yun Che continued to ask.
Chi Wuyao said, “According to ancient records, the gods and demons fought fiercely for years, and a large number of demon gods died every year. Demons of high status would have their own tombs... But as of today, most of these demon god tombs have been destroyed.”
The same is true for the gods. Except for a small portion of the will left behind, the vast majority of the divine power inherited by the gods was "scraped" in this way.
And until now, there are still countless people in the divine world searching for those "opportunities" that have not yet been discovered.
"As for the demons of lower status, which are the largest in number, their corpses were thrown into one place."
"The brutality of the war between gods and demons was far beyond our expectations. More and more demons died. Eventually, the place where the demon corpses were buried became a huge sea of corpses. As time passed, the demon corpses eventually turned into countless demon bones."
"That is today's 'Eternal Dark Bone Sea'."
“That’s why there’s an extremely dense accumulation of yin energy, death energy, and resentment there all year round. The dark aura is so dense that it’s incomparable to any other place in the Northern Divine Region.”
When he said this, Chi Wuyao saw a dark light in Yun Che’s eyes.
