The vast smoke and dust fell silently and slowly into the Canglan Divine Realm.
The Northern Territory profound practitioners who had been trying their best to keep their demon blood boiling and preparing to suppress the Western Divine Territory gradually dispersed their fighting spirit and hostility. Obviously, Chi Wuyao's decision was to avoid fighting. She no longer wanted to see the core forces of the Northern Divine Territory suffer any more damage.
But while avoiding the battle, the dark hand that was pressing down on the entire divine world not only did not ease, but became even heavier.
Between controlling people and killing people, she is obviously better at the former.
The value of every person in the Western and Southern Realms who surrendered, either voluntarily or under duress, was squeezed to the extreme by her in different ways, while at the same time being firmly controlled in her palms.
Around the Canglan Divine Domain, there are many Canglan Mysterious Ships that have returned after the war, including the Canglan Sea Angry Sharks that were the first to retreat and are carrying a group of Canglan direct descendants.
Cang Shu'ao, whom Chi Wuyao had mentioned, was among them. But she never showed up, and Yun Che had no interest in her, so he did not ask Cang Shitian to call her out to take a look.
One after another, the dark profound boats had also landed in the center of the divine domain. A group of dark profound practitioners, with blood and scars all over their bodies, as well as their merits and the corpses of their clansmen that were destined to be remembered by the world, were about to return to the Northern Domain temporarily.
But it won’t be long before they return with more clansmen. After all, how could they be absent from Yun Che’s coronation ceremony?
"Qinglong of the Western Region, Shuyi of the Southern Region, a person with whom there is no emotional foundation and whom he has never even met can be taken as a concubine with just a word. This is the emperor."
Chi Wuyao stood side by side with Yun Che and spoke slowly, “Whether it’s a living thing or a dead thing, as long as there is a sufficient reason or value, you can take it by force, and no one can disobey.”
“All I want is this identity.” Yun Che said calmly, “As for what happens next…”
“You take care of the big things, and I’ll take care of the small things. How about that?” Chi Wuyao smiled charmingly… In reality, Long Bai was already dead, and all four regions had concubines. In this world, there was no big thing that Yun Che had to deal with.
“…I’m sorry for making you worry and tired.” Yun Che said with a guilty look. And in the whole world, apart from Chi Wuyao, there is no other person who can be trusted like this.
Chi Wuyao's eyes curved charmingly, and her cherry-like lips pursed into an extremely seductive arc, "My Lord, what you said really embarrasses me. A successful emperor is best at controlling people. And am I not the one controlled by the Lord?"
“…” Yun Che stared directly into Chi Wuyao’s eyes. His vision was hazy and dazed. He almost unconsciously reached out his hand and touched her cheek.
At this time, Huan Jin's voice suddenly came from outside the hall: "Master, Cang Shitian wants to see you."
Yun Che’s palm froze in mid-air, and then immediately put it behind his back as he turned around: “I’ll go out and take a look.”
Walking down Qiankun Dragon City, he paced among the dark profound practitioners. Every dark profound practitioner knelt down for a long time from a distance. After he officially became the emperor of the God Realm in the future, he could not predict how the profound practitioners of various domains would view him in their hearts, but at least the Northern God Realm would give him loyalty that transcended belief... and perhaps it would last for thousands of generations.
"Daoqi." He called out.
Fen Daoqi's figure soon approached, and he bowed and asked, "What do you want, Demon Lord?"
Yun Che raised his hand, and a magatama that was gleaming with a dark black light appeared. In Fen Daoqi’s trembling eyes, it floated in front of him.
“It’s time to return this Burning Moon Devil Jade to Burning Moon.” Yun Che stared intently and said, “The Burning Moon Core has withered to this point, and the burden of reviving it will fall on your shoulders.”
Fen Daoqi reached out his hand, extremely excited, and even more carefully held up the inheritance core of Fen Yue. He was stunned for a long time, knelt on the ground again, and said in a trembling voice: "Before Daoqi closes his eyes, he will let the Demon Lord see a complete Fen Yue again."
"A perfect successor to the Burning Moon divine power is hard to come by. The current Burning Moon is not suitable for such a long and uncertain wait. Find some people whose Burning Moon bloodline is pure enough and whose talents are superior enough, and I will make their bodies compatible with the Burning Moon divine power."
"As for the rest, it all depends on your efforts... and Fen Yue's own luck."
Fen Daoqi's excitement doubled, and he kowtowed heavily: "Fen Yue... Thank you, Demon Lord, for your grace! Thank you, Demon Lord, for your grace!"
"Go ahead."
Fen Daoqi stepped back and left, tears streaming down his face.
“Yan Wu.” Yun Che called out again.
After Yun Che applied the light profound power, within a few days, Yan Wu's external injuries disappeared without a trace, and her internal injuries were healed by 60%. With the passing of Yan Tianxiao, she seemed to have grown up a lot in an instant.
“Demon Lord.” She stood in front of Yun Che and lowered her head respectfully.
Yun Che slowly extended his palm in front of Yan Wu. In his palm was a piece of black jade that was only half the size of a little finger nail.
After a brief moment of doubt, Yan Wu suddenly felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He covered his lips with both hands. His eyes, which had already concealed all his sadness and were deep and resolute, were almost instantly filled with tears.
“I have been searching for several days, and I only found this.” Yun Che said slowly: “There is still a little bit of his aura left on it. I wanted to keep it with me as a memory, but… it should belong to you.”
This tiny piece of jade came from the black jade buckle on Yan Tianxiao's waist.
Yan Tianxiao's body and soul were burned to death, and when he died he turned into flying gray-black smoke. Then even the smoke was blasted away by the furious Baihong Dragon God, leaving not a single ounce of blood or bone behind.
And this piece of broken jade is his last legacy.
Yan Wu held out his hand, held it against his heart, and remained silent for a long time.
These days, she searched frantically on the battlefield, but could not find even a trace of the clothes... and this broken jade, which had accompanied her father for many years and still retained his breath, gave her too much hope and comfort.
"The Yama Realm is undoubtedly the most desolate in history. Such a heavy burden is placed on a woman like you. It is indeed too cruel for you. But except for you..."
"Don't worry, Demon Lord." Yan Mo raised his head, and the tears in his eyes had all dissipated: "I won't let anyone look down on the daughter of Yan Tianxiao!"
“…Hmm.” Yun Che nodded gently and stretched out his hand to press Yan Wu’s shoulder. His hand revealed a delicate and frail figure that made people feel pity for her.
After Yan Wu, it is Huo Tian Xing.
“King of the Disaster Realm, after you return, personally hand over the bodies of Tian Mu and his son to the Imperial Heaven Realm, and select at least thirty people with superior aptitude from among the younger generations of the Imperial Heaven lineage. I will personally train them.”
…………
Inside the Qiankun Dragon City Palace, upon seeing Chi Wuyao, Cang Shitian knelt on the ground and said directly, “Demon Queen, please… let Shu Yao go.”
“Oh? Let him go?” Chi Wuyao smiled, “What do you mean by that?”
Cang Shitian still knelt on the ground and bowed his head, saying: "Shu's life was tragic. The biggest reason why Shitian gritted his teeth and seized the throne was to protect her. With her extremely weak body, it is a miracle that she can live to this day. She can't bear any pressure at all, let alone the position of God Emperor and the title of Emperor's Consort."
"Ask the Demon Queen to choose someone else. As long as it's not Shu Yan, Shi Tian will do his best to cooperate with anyone in Canglan, and will be loyal to the Demon Lord and Demon Queen forever."
Chi Wuyao’s demonic eyes narrowed, a faint light leaking out, and she suddenly chuckled, “Oh, this is strange. With your intelligence, Cang Shitian, the more you care, the more you should act as if you don’t care. By acting like this, aren’t you exposing your weaknesses nakedly in front of me?”
Cang Shitian slowly raised his head and said, "To act smart in front of the Demon Queen is truly foolish."
“Then guess, will I change my mind?” Before Cang Shitian could open his mouth, Chi Wuyao said calmly, “You don’t have to answer. You know that I will not change my mind once I have made up my mind. What you want is not for me to change my mind, but a promise.”
“Yes.” Cang Shitian did not deny it. Indeed, in front of Chi Wuyao, any attempt to hide one’s intentions would be foolish. “Shitian does not dare to ask the Demon Lord for this promise, so I can only beg the Demon Queen to fulfill it! From now on, Shitian will serve the Demon Lord and the Demon Queen loyally, and will never change his mind until death.”
"Humph, loyalty is something that is never spoken out loud."
Chi Wuyao's figure swayed slightly, and she passed by Cang Shitian and walked slowly toward the outside of the hall. A faint demonic voice came from behind and reached Cang Shitian's ears: "If it weren't for Cang Shu'an, how could this queen trust you to make use of me?"
"But on the other hand, in order for you to work wholeheartedly and serve the master loyally, Cang Shu'an will also live a good life. The Demon Lord's light power will grant her a new life, free her from the pain that has plagued her for a lifetime, and allow her to fully bear the power of Cang Lan."
"The Demon Lord never bothers to bully women, so you don't have to worry about her getting hurt. As for what kind of status she can gain beside the Demon Lord, it depends on her own ability. Even if she has no desires, just standing under the sky with a proud posture is much better than before."
Cang Shitian turned around from his kneeling position, and Chi Wuyao was no longer in his sight.
But he still kowtowed heavily, and uttered with a trembling voice: "Thank you, Demon Queen, for your help."
Demonic might, weaknesses, constraints, and great favors... Cang Shitian knew that he, the former God Emperor Shitian, could no longer escape Chi Wuyao's clutches. All he could do for the rest of his life was to do his best to clean up all the impurities that shouldn't exist for Yun Che.
————
A few days later, all the dark profound ships took off, carrying a group of Northern Territory profound practitioners back to the Northern Divine Territory.
Of the dark army that followed Yun Che out of the Northern Divine Region, only the Three Yama Ancestors, Chi Wuyao, and the Nine Witches remained by his side.
“Where are you going next?” Mu Xuanyin asked.
“Of course it’s the Dragon God Realm.” Chi Wuyao smiled and said, “As the first king realm that has dominated the God Realm for a million years, how can I not copy it once?”
"Qilin Emperor, you will be the bad guy this time. It's such a lucrative job. Even if you keep 10% or 20% for yourself, it will be a huge fortune. I believe Qilin Emperor will not refuse, right?"
The Qilin Emperor said hurriedly: "I dare not, I dare not. Every blade of grass and every tree in the Dragon God Realm should be in the hands of the Demon Lord. How dare I touch even a little bit of it."
“Xuanyin, come with me. It won’t be long. Then I’ll accompany you back to the Snow Song Realm.” Yun Che subconsciously leaned towards Mu Xuanyin… but was instantly pulled back by Qianye Ying’er.
“No,” Mu Xuanyin shook her head. “Bingyun has been heartbroken for years, but I have never been able to show up to meet her. Now that the dust has settled, I must go back immediately to reassure her.”
“Then… Caizhi, you…”
“I want to go back to the Star God Realm.” Caizhi said softly. The jade box in her hand contained the remaining blood and radiance of the Six Star Gods. “As for the Taichu Dragon Clan, I should also let them go back.”
"Meiyin, you..."
"Daddy has sent me messages dozens of times these days. I want to take sister back to Liuguang Realm first, otherwise Daddy will be worried to death." Shui Meiyin quietly stuck out her tongue.
Yun Che: (?_?)
In times of danger, they were unwilling to stay away from Yun Che, whether openly or secretly. Now, there was no longer any force in the world that could threaten Yun Che, and they could finally let go of all the pressure in their hearts.
“God Emperor,” Qianye Bingzhu said, “Your vitality is severely damaged and you need to rest urgently. We will escort you back to the Brahma Emperor God Realm right now.”
"No," Qianye Ying'er said coldly, "I will follow the Demon Lord to the Dragon God Realm. I will only recover faster by the side of the Demon Lord. You don't need to bother me."
"Yes." Qianye Bingzhu had no choice but to obey.
"Bury Gu Bo's body in the Fanshen Mausoleum. And..." Qianye Ying'er's voice suddenly dropped, and she glanced at Qianye Wugu in the distance: "Take good care of the old man."
"Don't worry, God Emperor." A faint smile appeared on Qianye Bingzhu's face.
Not long after, streams of aura dispersed in different directions.
The dust of the past worlds no longer floated in chaos, but fell silently. However, the dust had been stained with a deep dark color.
No one dares to predict the future of the divine world.
