In less than a day, Shui Meiyin had opened the seals of all the palaces in Qiankun Dragon City. The seals of some special defense mechanisms, mysterious formations and the lower space were much more complicated, but they should be all opened within a month.
She was looking forward to seeing what Qiankun Dragon City would look like after injecting enough energy... After all, this was a real ancient divine ship.
After a day of rest, Yun Che's soul power had recovered almost completely. He stood on Qiankun Dragon City, looking down at the razed and bloodstained Canglan Divine Realm below, and remained silent for a long, long time.
The biggest obstacle was removed, and the last source of hatred was slaughtered by him. At this moment, he was truly standing at the top of the world... However, he was at a loss as to what to do next.
Should I return to Blue Pole Star immediately and tell them that I am safe and sound, or...
After more than an hour passed, he finally moved, following Chi Wuyao's aura and coming to her side.
“I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, my Lord Demon.” Chi Wuyao turned around and smiled at Yun Che who was approaching.
She knew very well that with the end of this final fierce battle, Yun Che, who had suddenly lost his goal, would definitely fall into confusion... Becoming the emperor of the world was something that a man who was only half a century old would not be able to start at all for the time being.
“Hmm!” Yun Che let out a sigh of helplessness: “I have tried very hard not to rely on you, but it seems that it still doesn’t work. Controlling the world is much more difficult than being invincible.”
He was very sure that Chi Wuyao must have already planned what to do next.
“Answer me a question first.” Chi Wuyao approached him, looked him in the eye, and asked, “Next, what do you hope to do most? Push this world into the abyss of darkness, so that you and the Northern Territory profound practitioners who have endured a million years of imprisonment can vent as much as they want, or… become an emperor who truly rules and leads all the worlds? Just like you rule and lead the Northern Divine Territory.”
“…The latter.” Yun Che replied.
“As expected.” Chi Wuyao smiled. “Over the years, the hatred in your heart has been like countless roaring and struggling demons. This is what I have always been most worried about. I am worried that your hatred will get out of control and completely devour you. But... since that day, you have suddenly changed.”
“From the day you and Meiyin returned.” Chi Wuyao’s expression became solemn: “Can you tell me what happened on that day?”
“Well, it’s time to tell you.” Yun Che turned his gaze to the south, put his fingers to his forehead, and slowly gathered the light of his soul: “Over the years, I have been so crazy that I want to destroy everything. I even want to be shed in blood and personally slaughter the creatures of one star realm after another. Because I saved everything, but I lost everything because of it.”
"But that day, the reasons that made me hate the world and be willing to be a devil suddenly disappeared."
“Disappeared?” Chi Wuyao’s eyebrows twitched sharply.
Yun Che pointed his finger out and gently pressed it on the center of Chi Wuyao’s brow. The memories of that day immediately flooded into Chi Wuyao’s mind.
“…” There was a long silence, and the turmoil in Chi Wuyao’s demonic eyes lasted for a very long time.
“Too good to be true.” Chi Wuyao murmured. In her life experience, she had never seen such exaggerated ups and downs, such surprising twists and turns.
Qiankun Thorn...
Shui Meiyin...
Not only did she record everything with the Huan Xin Liu Ying Jade Carving before it happened, she also hid it from the worlds and protected the Blue Pole Star... and even made Yun Che what he is today.
It also indirectly saved the fate of the Northern Divine Region.
It was the first time that Yun Che saw Chi Wuyao in such a state of stupor and astonishment for such a long time. Without a doubt, this was a reversal that completely surpassed everyone’s imagination and cognition… because the destruction of the Blue Pole Star was witnessed by many God Lords and God Emperors.
In her heart, it was as if countless heavy mountains had dissipated like the breeze. It was a kind of ease and joy that she had never imagined. A smile appeared on the corners of Chi Wuyao's lips: "So... that's how it is. Very good... The most beautiful thing in the world, the most magnificent miracle, is nothing more than this."
“Xuanyin, Caizhi, Qianying… and everyone in the Northern Territory, if they knew about this, they would surely be filled with endless joy.”
As she whispered, Chi Wuyao's charming eyes were slightly misty, but she quickly dispelled it. Although the memory fragments from Yun Che concealed his own emotional changes, she knew that Yun Che must have cried bitterly... Those were tears that could not be stopped by any will.
"And Meiyin, I really underestimated her. I didn't expect that she would do so much for you quietly. She even paved many roads for us in secret before we set foot out of the Northern Divine Region."
“Yes.” Yun Che nodded and said softly, “I don’t know how many lifetimes it will take for me to repay her love and kindness.”
“It’s fine in this life, but you must never let her down.” Chi Wuyao smiled charmingly. Yun Che’s change was naturally a great change for her, but she never thought it could be so wonderful.
He was tortured by waiting one more day in the cruelty, but he was suddenly willing to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm for three years... So that's how it was! Seeing his homeland and loved ones intact with his own eyes, for a better future, let alone three years, even thirty or three hundred years, he would be willing to endure it.
“With the destruction of the Dragon God Realm and Long Bai’s death, the greatest threat no longer exists. So… is now the time for me to meet them?” Yun Che said with some disappointment.
“You think so, which means you know in your heart that now is not the right time to go see them.” Chi Wuyao said, “I can understand your urgency and… guilt.”
“You have cleared the biggest obstacle, but your true domination of this world has only just begun.” Chi Wuyao said slowly: “In the Western Divine Region alone, although you have slaughtered all the gods of the four king realms of Dragon God, Emperor Chi, Viper Dragon, and Myriad Things, there are still more than 400 upper star realms and more than 2,000 middle star realms in the Western Divine Region. You must not underestimate them.”
“Although this power will not pose a threat to you or us, Blue Pole Star is too fragile in the face of the power of the God Realm as a lower world planet.”
"Now in the God Realm, there are countless star realms and mystics who have great fear and resentment towards you. And the inherent perception of the dark mystics is definitely impossible to change in a short period of time. If you expose the existence of the Blue Pole Star long before you have enough control over the God Realm, then once there is a loophole in the myriad precautions..."
Chi Wuyao glanced at Yun Che deeply.
Yun Che did not react much to Chi Wuyao’s words. Instead, he asked calmly, “When is the best time?”
“After you are officially crowned as the emperor,” Chi Wuyao said, “this time won’t be too long. If there are no major accidents, it will only take a year.”
“How about half a year?” Yun Che’s eyes wandered slightly: “There are still one hundred and ninety-nine days left, which will be Wuxin’s Double Tenth birthday. I… don’t want to miss it again.”
“…” Chi Wuyao was about to speak, but when she saw Yun Che’s suddenly confused look, she was silent for a moment, then suddenly pursed her lips and said, “Half a year is barely enough. However, I need my Lord Demon to cooperate with me.”
Yun Che turned sideways and said with a serious expression: “Okay, you go ahead.”
How to control, how to be an emperor, and especially how to control people's hearts, Chi Wuyao was undoubtedly much better than him.
Chi Wuyao walked slowly and stood to Yun Che’s right. She said leisurely, “To eliminate the rebels, violent suppression is the simplest and most brainless method, but it is not suitable for the present. In addition, the core strength of our Northern Territory was severely damaged in this battle. We cannot afford any more damage in the short term.”
"In addition, violent suppression does not bring about awe, but greater fear."
"The best method is to create a situation in the shortest possible time where the world is under your control, so that the rebellious Star Realms and Mystics will be reduced to aliens before they have a chance to become powerful. In this way, as people's hearts continue to be gathered, the resistance army will probably collapse before we can suppress them."
Yun Che frowned, thought for a moment and said, “This is probably much more difficult than suppressing it with violence.”
After he finished speaking, he listened to Chi Wuyao’s response. He knew that since Chi Wuyao had proposed this, she must have a plan in mind.
“It’s hard to say, but…” She glanced at Yun Che and smiled slightly, “If the Lord Demon is willing to cooperate, it won’t be that difficult given the current situation.”
“What exactly do you want me to cooperate with?” Yun Che asked.
“A method often used by royal nobles in any dimension. It is a cliché, but very useful method.” After a brief pause, Chi Wuyao slightly opened her lips and said, “Marriage.”
“…” Yun Che was stunned for three full breaths: “Huh!?”
Chi Wuyao smiled faintly and continued, “Through the image carved by Meiyin, no one in the world can deny that you once saved the world. It is also a fact known to everyone that you were betrayed by the king realms and the upper star realms. This is an excellent foundation.”
"The next step is to amplify both of them. This is the first step in building momentum."
Her voice slowed down and became slightly deeper: "History is never recorded by the impartial, but written by the victors."
“On this basis,” she looked at Yun Che, her devilish eyes like charm and mist: “If the four domains’ divine emperors all have your imperial concubine, what do you think will happen?”
“…” Yun Che was stunned.
"Needless to say, everyone in the Northern Divine Region knows that I am your empress."
There is a hint of resentment in this sentence.
“The four king realms in the Eastern Divine Region are either destroyed or incomplete. The only relatively intact Brahma Emperor Divine Realm has Qianying as its emperor. If you were to make her your consort, she would naturally have no objection.”
“Although the Star God Realm exists in name only, the Sirius Star God still exists, and his divine artifact is in your hands. You can help Caizhi rebuild the Star God Realm, with Caizhi as the emperor and Caizhi as the concubine.”
“In addition, you can support the Snow Song Realm as a new king realm in the Eastern Region. Although the Snow Song Realm is weak as a whole, Mu Xuanyin’s personal divine power and your history as a disciple of the Ice Phoenix are enough to support the title of a king realm. With the influx of high-quality resources and your ‘special’ abilities, the overall strength of the Snow Song Realm will also increase day by day. One day in the future, it may be able to truly match the title of a king realm.”
"In this way, the God Emperors of the Three King Realms in the Eastern Region will all be your imperial concubines!"
“For the Eastern Divine Region, this will be a great force that will overwhelm all dissenting opinions and restrain all wills!”
“…” Yun Che was stunned for a long time.
There is also... this kind of... operation! ?
Chi Wuyao continued, “In the Western Divine Region, four of the six king realms are now in name only. Among the two intact king realms, there is a perfect candidate.”
"The Azure Dragon Emperor."
“!?” Yun Che stared in astonishment, “You don’t want me to…”
“In the current situation, she has to obey whether she wants to or not.” Chi Wuyao ignored his interruption and continued, “But even if she is extremely reluctant, she will not refuse in the end, because for the Azure Dragon Realm, there is no greater talisman than this.”
"Once she becomes your imperial concubine, even if it's just in name, her mentality will change subtly, and she will involuntarily lean towards you when making decisions."
"In addition, the Qilin Realm and the Azure Dragon Realm are closely related. When the Qilin Emperor looks at the Azure Dragon Emperor, he is looking at his daughter. Therefore, having the Azure Dragon Emperor as the imperial consort can also influence the Qilin Realm to a certain extent."
"The outsider who was just forced to bow down has become an insider. Many things in the Western Divine Region will be much more convenient."
"As for the Southern Divine Region, during this time in the Canglan Realm, I have already found a candidate for you..." She smiled and said, "I will definitely satisfy you."
“In this case, as long as my Lord Demon nods, all the kings and emperors of the four divine realms in the God Realm will have your imperial concubine. This kind of pomp and circumstance has never been seen in the history of the God Realm. With this, without having to sacrifice a single soldier, we can create a situation that overwhelms all dissenting thoughts in this new God Realm.”
“But,” Yun Che said solemnly, “The Azure Dragon Emperor and I have only met a few times, and there is no emotion between us. And suddenly he took her as his imperial concubine…”
“It’s just in name only. Marriage doesn’t require any emotional connection.” Chi Wuyao said, “I am your empress in name only, but I have never been favored by you in reality… Isn’t the Demon Lord very good at this?”
Yun Che: “…”
"Besides, the Azure Dragon Emperor has an absolutely beautiful appearance, skin as white as water, and an extremely tall and proud figure. He was born in the Azure Dragon Imperial Clan and has been the emperor for tens of thousands of years. He originally decided to live a lonely life, but he was forced to become your imperial concubine. I feel a little aggrieved for him."
Yun Che: "(￣ェ￣;)"
"Having an extra nominal imperial concubine won't be a big loss, and it will also make it easier for us to control the Western Divine Region. Or, if the Lord Demon gets interested, it would be a good thing to hold the Azure Dragon Emperor in his arms and play with him."
“…” Chi Wuyao’s words made Yun Che’s mind unconsciously reflect the pair of legs as white as porcelain jade, flowing with water light, and astonishingly long under the Azure Dragon Emperor’s blue skirt. His heart immediately began to beat violently.
Actually... I'm very moved!
