The chill in Yun Che's words was no less than that of Chi Wuyao. But for Shui Yingyue and Lu Zhou, it was already a very good result.
After all, they were from the Eastern Divine Territory and were the Realm Kings of the Eastern Divine Territory Star Realm.
The Eastern Divine Region was saved by Yun Che, but it also betrayed him severely. In terms of fate and survival, Yun Che had enough qualifications to retaliate against the Eastern Divine Region no matter how he wanted... But among them, the vast majority of the living beings were innocent after all.
They were trapped in the rules and "cage" constructed by those in power, and never really understood what was happening from beginning to end.
Both the Glazed Light Realm and the Heaven-Breaking Realm were star realms that could stay out of the trouble and preserve themselves in the devil's calamity. However, the Eternal Heaven was slaughtered, the Moon God was shattered, the Star God retreated, and the Brahma Emperor closed his realm... As the leaders of the star realms below the King Realm, they had to stand up in order to have a chance to turn the fate of the Eastern Divine Region around.
Otherwise, if things continued like this, those terrifying demons who had no fear of death and were venting their endless hatred in the Eastern Divine Region would destroy the Eastern Divine Region into a hell.
Lu Lengchuan saluted and said sincerely, "Thank you, Demon Lord, for giving the Eastern Divine Region your grace again. After we return to the world, we will immediately announce to the world in the name of Liuguang and Futian that those who are willing to join the star realm under the command of the Demon Lord will be pardoned by the Demon Lord. Those who are unwilling... we will also regard them as enemies!"
They knew very well that such a decision would inevitably lead to countless insults of "devilishness".
But... they had not been hit by the devil's calamity, and they had seen it clearly from the side. With the successive demise of Zhou Tian and Yue Shen, and the collapse of consciousness after the truth was revealed, it was impossible for the Eastern Divine Region to resist the devils of the Northern Region.
If one wants to preserve the Eastern Divine Region to the greatest extent possible, this is already the best...or even the only option.
"Oh! That's not necessary!"
Yun Che smiled grimly, suddenly summoned the Primordial Profound Ark, and then reached out to grab it.
Bang!
A figure covered in ice was thrown out as his arm moved and fell heavily to the ground.
The ice shattered, and the person inside rolled far away like a rolling gourd, but did not stand up. Instead, he huddled on the ground, shivering.
Glancing at this person's face, everyone was slightly stunned. Then Shui Qianheng and Lu Zhou's faces changed at the same time, and they shouted in surprise: "Star God Emperor!?"
The words "Star God Emperor" that came from his ears made the middle-aged man on the ground look back in shock. He saw Lu Zhou, and Shui Qianheng... Suddenly, he let out a strange cry, and buried his face in the ground, holding his head with his arms, curling up like a desperate reptile:
“No… no… I’m not the Star God Emperor… I’m not… You… have the wrong person… I’m not… not…”
He used to be so majestic and awe-inspiring that even the strongest upper realm kings like Shui Qianheng and Lu Zhou had to bow respectfully before him.
Now, meeting his acquaintances again in this state, he shrank and trembled all over, feeling extremely ashamed... He would rather be frozen forever than be seen in this ugly state by anyone.
At least that way, in the eyes of the world, he would always be the disappeared Star God Emperor, and people would only remember him commanding the Star Gods and his divine might dominating the world.
"This... this is..." Lu Zhou and Lu Lengchuan looked at each other, filled with endless shock.
Back then, the Star God Realm was reduced to ruins by the Evil Infant disaster, and on that day, the Star God Emperor suddenly disappeared. Afterwards, the remaining Star God Mysterious Practitioners searched almost all of the Eastern Divine Region, but could not find any trace or breath of him.
There are countless rumors and speculations about the sudden disappearance of the Star God Emperor in the Eastern Divine Region.
And now, he appeared before them again at this time and place, and in this way.
The Xing Juekong in his sight no longer had any of the imperial power and spiritual pressure he had in the past, and he could hardly even sense the slightest aura of profound energy.
The loss of his profound strength and the long years of freezing torture had caused his will to collapse beyond recognition. His eyes and body showed only despair and servility. Even an ordinary mortal spirit would look down upon him and feel pity for him.
Torturing the Energy Star God Emperor to this state was definitely not something that could be done in a short period of time. It was very likely that he had been in such a miserable state since the year he disappeared... However, they naturally did not dare to ask. Yun Che hated Xing Juekong very much, but he never tried to kill him. Instead, he kept him alive. At this moment, it could still play a role.
He glanced at Xing Juekong out of the corner of his eye, suddenly reached out, took out the Star God Roulette, and threw it directly in front of Xing Juekong.
Even though he no longer had the power of the Star God, the Star God Roulette had been with Xing Juekong for tens of thousands of years after all; he was familiar with its scent alone.
He suddenly raised his head from the ground, and the moment he saw the Star God Roulette, he was stunned for a moment. Then his body, which was originally too weak to stand up, suddenly pounced on it like a flea, and hugged the Star God Roulette tightly in his arms, tears streaming down his face.
Lu Zhou, Shui Qianheng and others watched silently, feeling sad beyond words.
“Heh,” Yun Che lowered his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, “Xing Juekong, today this Demon Lord will grant you a chance to become the Star God Emperor again. You must… cherish it well!”
Xing Juekong did not respond, as if he did not hear what Yun Che said clearly. All his strength was used to tightly hold the Star God Wheel. In a trance, he seemed to be the Star God Emperor who stood at the top of the world and looked down at all spirits with pride.
With a cold laugh, Yun Che stepped forward and said calmly: “Dao Qi, start the formation!”
The extremely useful projection array of the Eternal Heaven Realm was activated again.
Although each breath of continuation consumes a huge amount of energy, all of this consumption is plundered from Zhoutian, so there is no need to feel sorry for it.
The projection array was quickly activated, and this time, the projection that covered the entire Eastern Divine Region showed Yun Che’s sinister and evil face. A dark and terrifying might instantly enveloped the entire Eastern Divine Region.
All of a sudden, all the demons in the Eastern Divine Region, from the King Realm God Emperor to the most ordinary demon soldiers, all bowed down in unison... That reverence, like faith, was so strong that it made the profound practitioners in the Eastern Divine Region tremble in their hearts.
The Eastern Region profound practitioner now faced Yun Che again, and his mood was completely different from before.
He is a demon... but he was forced out alive by the superiors of the Eastern Divine Region and the entire God Realm.
And he was originally the Son of God who saved the world, and the greatest pride in the history of the Eastern Divine Region.
“Sons of darkness,” Yun Che’s voice sounded slowly and gloomily, “Chill your boiling blood for now. This Demon Lord has great news to announce to the poor creatures in the Eastern Divine Region. Poor creatures, you must prick up your ears and listen carefully. Don’t miss a single word.”
In the silence, only countless throats were moving with great difficulty.
The Yun Che in the projection slowly stretched out his hand, and with his five fingers spread out, it seemed as if he was covering the entire Eastern Divine Region under his palm: “Eternal Heaven and Moon God have been annihilated, and the Brahma Emperor God Realm and the Star God Realm can only shrink in their tortoise shells and tremble in fear.”
"Don't ever think that you have been abandoned by them... No, no, in the face of a true disaster, you don't even have the qualifications to be abandoned. After all, you are just a bunch of pitiful creatures that they can manipulate into any shape at will."
Yun Che's words were extremely ironic... Especially in the face of the truth that had been made public, it was a thousand times more ironic.
“However, this Demon Lord has been deeply indebted to the Snow Song Realm. Today, the Glazed Light Realm and the Heaven-Breaking Realm have come to plead for you. Considering the grace of the Glazed Light Realm in taking you in and the kindness of the Heaven-Breaking Realm in advocating for you, this Demon Lord will give you a chance… and the only chance!”
In the Eternal Heaven Realm, Shui Qianheng's reaction was relatively calm, but Lu Zhou and his son were in great turmoil.
If the Eastern Divine Region was saved as a result, and Yun Che really became the master of the Divine Realm in the future… then, Yun Che’s words today would be enough to raise the already extremely high reputation and status of the Glazed Light Realm and the Heaven-Covering Realm to another level.
Behind his brutal and bloody hands, he actually values friendship so much.
After the excitement, there was another deep sigh… If Eastern Divine Region had not betrayed such a person, but protected him, then Eastern Divine Region would not have received the disaster of the collapse of the king realm and corpses everywhere, but would have received unshakable protection and peace.
But then again, if it weren’t for Yun Che who only wanted to escape from the world with the Evil Infant back then, it would be impossible for him to grow up to be as terrifying as he is now.
Yun Che brought his fingers together. With a slight movement, countless profound practitioners in the Eastern Region instantly felt as if their lives and souls were being strangled by Yun Che’s fingers: “Within seven days, all the upper star realms must either have your realm kings come to this demon master’s knees and swear allegiance and submission, or... disappear into darkness forever!”
The Dark Lord's words made countless eyeballs and hearts beat wildly.
"Remember, you only have seven days, only seven days! And this is also the last chance that this Demon Lord will grant you!"
"If your Kai King is stubborn and insists on dragging you down with him into the darkness, you can choose to die, or you can choose to kill him and elect a new Kai King."
"Will you dance together in the darkness, or turn into eternal black dust? I look forward to your choice!"
“Hehehe!”
Amidst the low and cold laughter, Yun Che’s figure turned in the projection, and his words, which were like the judgment of a devil, planted the seeds of darkness in the hearts of countless Eastern Region profound practitioners whose souls were wavering.
"Follow the Demon Lord's order and retreat!"
The Eastern Region Mystics were still in a daze, as the demon army had already retreated in unison, and then quickly withdrew. Even the demon team that was about to attack the core retreated at the first opportunity without any resistance or hesitation.
Without Yun Che, they wouldn’t even have the ability to leave the Northern Divine Region, let alone redeem themselves or vent their hatred so thoroughly! Yun Che’s orders had long been the highest dark belief for them.
The demons retreated like a tide, and the voice of the Dark Lord echoed in the ears of the Eastern Divine Region's mystics for a long time...
This horrific catastrophe that dyed the sky red finally stopped temporarily, but they had no idea whether it was a "gift" or a deeper dark hell.
"No, don't be bewitched by the demons!" A dark mystic shouted loudly: "They want to divide us and enslave us!"
If this had happened two days ago, the vast majority of the Eastern Region profound practitioners who had been fighting desperately would have adhered to their final will and dignity and would rather die than succumb to darkness.
But beneath the cruel truth and collapsed faith, what more people see is the vitality and hope that suddenly emerges from the darkness.
The Demon Emperor sacrificed himself for the world, and the Demon Lord saved the world but was betrayed by the world. If darkness cannot be tolerated in the world, it is wrong in itself, and if their oppression and extermination of demons for countless years has been a sin from beginning to end...
Then, is it really so unacceptable to submit to the Dark Lord who once saved the world and was born in their Eastern Divine Region, and coexist with darkness?
At least, this disaster can be stopped here, at least lives and clans can be saved.
At least...it can be considered a form of atonement and correction of cognition.
"I... don't want to fight the demon anymore." A mysterious person knelt on the ground, making an extremely weak sound.
However, these words, spoken in a pale and aspirationless manner, are the voices of countless Eastern Region mystics.
“Great King, please choose to surrender. The demons are too terrifying. We are no match for them. Besides… Yun Che is originally from the Eastern Divine Region.”
"Master, in the face of the truth, what are we struggling for... I don't want to fight anymore, I really don't want to."
“They are demons! Have you forgotten how many of your clansmen and fellow disciples they have killed? Do you want the Eastern Divine Region to become a demon realm?” A high-level realm king roared with a voice full of imperial power.
“Heh,” a feeble and sad laugh sounded, coming from the young profound practitioner with the highest aptitude in their sect, who was placed with the hope for the future: “Sect Master, only after we die will the Eastern Divine Region truly become a realm of demons. I would rather live. I want to see with my own eyes what a real demon looks like.”
“Great Realm King! You must not surrender to the demons, otherwise how will we face our ancestors in the future! Don’t forget, there is also the Brahma Emperor God Realm! The Brahma Emperor God Realm has not moved, it must not be retreating, maybe it is quietly allying with the Southern Divine Region and the Western Divine Region, preparing to give the demons a fatal blow... If we surrender now, it will be a stain that our entire clan can never wash away!”
In the Eastern Divine Region, countless waves of sound were surging.
Because the final fate of the star realm they belong to will be decided within these short seven days.
