“Chan Yi,” Yun Che suddenly said, “Tell me, should I have friends?”
"No." Nanhuang Chanyi answered without any hesitation. After thinking for a while, she added: "You are destined to be the king. So, it's not a question of whether you should or not, but in my opinion, no one is worthy of being your friend."
“Is that so?” Yun Che smiled. He glanced at his palm and whispered, “That seems to be true. Who else in this world is worthy of being my friend?”
Nanhuang Chanyi did not think there was anything wrong with this extremely aloof and arrogant statement.
"You continue to stay here."
Yun Che said something and was ready to leave. He came here to see Mu Xuanyin. Solving Huo Poyun's problem was just a side job. The matter of Nanming was imminent, and the movements in the Western Divine Region were ambiguous, so he had no intention of staying for long.
"Yes." Chan Yi accepted the order and asked, "Demon Lord, next, is it time to integrate the power of the Eastern Divine Region?"
“No,” Yun Che said, “Go and deal with Nanming.”
"!?" Chan Yi was obviously startled, and frowned slightly: "Is this move too hasty? The depth of the Southern Divine Region is unknown, and at this moment, they must be fully prepared. It may be better to quickly integrate the power of the Eastern Divine Region, test it with the Eastern Divine Region's profound practitioners, and use their corpses as paving stones."
But immediately, she added: "The Demon Lord must have his own plan for this move, Chan Yi is being redundant."
Yun Che smiled strangely: “What you said is absolutely correct. So, the Nanming God Realm must think the same way, right?”
Chan Yi was slightly startled.
"The flip side of being fully prepared is that the longer the night, the more dreams there are. Nanming is so eager to test my attitude, how can I not do what they want?"
With a cold smile, Yun Che's figure disappeared in the wind and snow.
From the perspective of the Northern Divine Territory, they should pursue a war situation that maximizes benefits and minimizes losses.
However, his position was different from that of the Northern Divine Region. Although not as extreme as at the beginning, everything in the Northern Divine Region was a tool for him, and this had never changed.
He became the Demon Lord of the Northern Territory just to better control this tool.
What he wanted most was always revenge, not imperial hegemony!
His own hatred, He Ling’s hatred… Returning to the Snow Song Realm, the painful memories of that time were brought back to him. Add to that the invitation from Nan Ming, and how could he suppress his anger?
On the way back to the Eternal Heaven Realm, Yun Che suddenly asked Chi Wuyao a question: “Is Huo Poyun’s life ruined because of me?”
Chi Wuyao looked at him with a hint of surprise, then suddenly smiled and said, “You appear to be so ruthless and heartless on the surface, but it turns out that you still care about me in your heart.”
“You think too much.” Yun Che said coldly: “Today I know that if it weren’t for him, I would have died at the hands of Luo Changsheng. I don’t want to owe favors to anyone.”
“You spared his life today. Doesn’t that mean we’re even?” Chi Wuyao said with a half-smile.
“…Probably.” Yun Che said calmly.
“At a young age, he became famous and was blessed with the opportunity to enter the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm. Now he is the King of the Flame God Realm. His life can never be described as ‘ruined.’” Chi Wuyao said, “It’s a pity that his life was too smooth. He didn’t go through as many ups and downs and life and death as you did. In the three thousand years of the Eternal Heaven Realm, his cultivation has been increasing, but he still hasn’t experienced any real hardships. His state of mind is also destined to not be truly tempered. Yet, he met you at the most critical moment of his life.”
Shaking her head, Chi Wuyao smiled again and said, “However, you don’t need to worry about him. People will always grow up.
There will be no more reference points like you in the world. If he can completely overcome this "disaster" in his heart, he will hardly encounter any setbacks in the future."
"Come to think of it..." She suddenly changed the subject: "You didn't take Bingyun away."
“She refused.” Yun Che said, and then a cold light flashed in his eyes: “Besides, there is really no need.”
Although it was only for a moment, Chi Wuyao still sensed the passing evil spirit. Her eyebrows twitched slightly and she said, “I will accompany you on this trip to the South Sea.”
“No need.” Yun Che refused without any hesitation: “The Dragon Emperor disappeared inexplicably, and the silence of the entire Western Divine Region is too strange. If you stay in the Eastern Divine Region, I will have no worries.”
“Moreover…” Yun Che paused, his eyes flashing with a strange light: “This time, the fewer people there are, the better.”
Chi Wuyao thought about it for a moment, then smiled and said, “Okay.”
After returning to the Eternal Heaven Realm, Yun Che finally summoned the Six-Star God.
During the days that Yun Che was traveling back and forth to the Snow Song Realm, they had been waiting outside the realm, not leaving even a single step. They did not dare to complain, as they knew exactly what had happened, and they had long been aware of how they would be treated.
Led by Tianxuan Star God Aster, the six Star Gods Tianxuan, Tianyao, Tianyan, Tianmei, Tianyang, and Tianhun knelt in front of Yun Che. As Star Gods, they only needed to bow down to Xing Juekong. But now that they were here, they knew what kind of attitude they should show.
“You actually have the guts to appear in front of me.” Yun Che lowered his eyebrows and looked down, his voice emotionless: “Isn’t it better to learn from that old dog Zhou Tian and escape to the Western Divine Region and become a group of stray dogs?”
Ziyuan bowed her head and said, “The Star God Realm originated from the Eastern Divine Region. Regardless of life or death, we will never abandon the Eastern Divine Region.”
“So, you are here to die?” Yun Che gave them a cold glance.
Ziyuan gasped very lightly, and said, “We are willing to bring all the power of the Star God Realm and serve the Demon Lord. Although the Star God Realm has withered for the most part and is not as strong as it used to be, it still has some power left and can definitely help the Demon Lord. I hope the Demon Lord will help us.”
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even though the Star God Realm has withered to this point, it still has six Star Gods and seventeen Lord God Elders. It is a force that no force can underestimate. And this is also their last resort now.
Ziyuan did not say that she would obey the Star God Emperor's wishes and come to him for refuge. Others did not know how Yun Che died in the Star God Realm, and how Jasmine transformed into an evil infant, but they knew it clearly.
Therefore, Yun Che hated Xing Juekong to the core, so it was impossible for him to be contained. Xing Juekong's statement in the projection of Zhou Tian could only be that he was controlled and held hostage.
Ziyuan did not ask about Xing Juekong's whereabouts or his fate. Since he was already in Yun Che's hands, his fate was predictable.
“That sounds good. After all, who wouldn’t want a tool that comes to your doorstep?” Yun Che’s mouth curled slightly, and his words were extremely harsh, causing the eyes of all the Five Star Gods except Ziyuan to change slightly, but no one got angry.
Before the decision was made, Shion had already given them enough psychological preparation.
“But before that,” Yun Che changed the subject: “Shouldn’t you give me a reason… not to kill you?”
Before the voice fell, a murderous aura had already arrived, making them feel cold all over.
Ziyuan said calmly, “As a Star God, I must obey the orders of the Star God Emperor, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. This will also apply to me when I serve under the command of the Demon Lord.”
“Since we have to obey the master’s orders, then you must also bear the master’s sins, right?” Yun Che said with a squinting look.
"...Yes." Ziyuan said softly: "If the Demon Lord wants us to die, we have nothing to say.
, and we will never resist. But compared to dying to atone for our sins, we hope to keep our lives and the power of the Star God in our bodies to atone for our sins."
"It's not just for the Demon Lord, but also because I feel guilty towards Princess Jasmine and Princess Caizhi. They definitely don't want to see the Star God lineage disappear. I beg the Demon Lord to help me."
After saying this, Ziyuan slowly closed her eyes, as if waiting for the final decision.
There was a terrifying silence, and Yun Che slowly spoke: “You were already dead, do you know who allowed you to live until now?”
“I know.” Ziyuan answered. After the invasion of the Northern Divine Region, Eternal Heaven, Moon God, and Brahma Emperor all suffered great disasters, but the most desolate and equally hated Star God Realm by Yun Che never suffered a demonic calamity… After seeing Qianye Brahma and the other Brahma Kings begging for mercy from Yun Che, they finally understood that it was Caizhi’s sword that saved them.
The person who had the most right to hate them, saved them instead. This also made Ziyuan make the decision today.
Even if she really died here today, she would have no regrets.
"Who gave you your life? Who will you live for in the future? I hope you will never forget it for the rest of your life... Do you understand?"
These words finally saved their lives. Ziyuan was not excited or happy. She bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Demon Lord, for your help."
“Demon Queen,” Yun Che said, “You should choose a suitable person to take over the Star God Realm.”
“No need for that.” Chi Wuyao shook her head, “Let’s wait for her to come back. She is the only suitable Star God Master.”
“…” Yun Che raised his head slightly and looked into the distance. The scene of his last meeting with Caizhi appeared before his eyes: Caizhi, where exactly are you? Why did you refuse to come to see me even though you have clearly returned to the Eastern Divine Region?
You still haven't forgiven me?
Acknowledging Chi Wuyao’s words, Yun Che turned around and suddenly whispered, “Tian Xiao, are you ready?”
Yan Tianxiao stepped forward and said solemnly: "It has been prepared."
“Let’s go.” Yun Che pointed to the south and gave the order in an extremely simple, decisive, and even somewhat sudden manner.
"Yes!" Yan Tianxiao responded decisively, and a violent black light suddenly shone in his eyes. He felt that his blood had already begun to boil.
A hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Yun Che’s wrist. The five fingers gently tightened. Chi Wuyao’s soft voice also came to his ears: “I know I can’t stop you, but you will definitely come back intact, right?”
“Of course.” Yun Che said, “Long Bai and Zhou Xuzi are still alive, how could I bear to die!”
A pitch-black profound boat fell from the sky. Yun Che turned around and landed on the profound boat. Yan One, Yan Two, and Yan Three followed closely behind. With the three Yan Mo ancestors around, even if Yun Che was a weakling, he could walk sideways in any region of the world.
Without informing Shui Meiyin, nor saying hello to Qianye Ying'er, Yun Che rode away in the dark profound boat in an instant, heading straight for the distant Southern Divine Region, which he had never set foot in.
Chi Wuyao watched Yun Che leave so cleanly and neatly on his way to Nanming. She whispered softly, “Mu Xuanyin, you have occupied him all by yourself for so long. It’s finally your turn to accompany him. How can I not feel at ease when you are with me?”
“He’s gone?” Qianye Ying’er’s figure suddenly flashed at this moment. She frowned deeply and stared at the direction where Yun Che’s aura disappeared… She pursed her lips, but did not chase after him.
“Yes.” Chi Wuyao nodded. “He didn’t let me follow him. He might want to take revenge for Nanming as quickly as possible.”
"..." After a long silence, Qianye Ying'er disappeared into the distance.
“Where are you going?” Chi Wuyao asked.
"Go back to Brahma Emperor." Qianye Ying'er responded absentmindedly, and hurried away with Qianye Wugu and Qianye Bingzhu.
