In the Shadow Realm, a young man in black sat drinking in a restaurant, in the same spot he had sat before. This time, his main purpose wasn't to undergo the trial, but to wait for someone. Unfortunately, the person he was waiting for wasn't the same person he was waiting for back then. (If you've forgotten where the Shadow Realm is, you can go back and watch "Ruthless but Not Deceitful" in 2141.)
Pan Buwang's eyes swept across every corner of the restaurant, looking for shadows and traces of the past. Then he looked to the place outside the restaurant where he first met Shen Wuqing. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly. This place carries many beautiful memories. He hopes that one day he can meet Shen Wuqing again here.
"You're a little late." Pan Buwang filled his wine glass and took a sip, then looked up at those bright eyes. He had been waiting here for ten days.
Although she was still wearing a black veil, Shen Wuyi's aura became more and more ethereal. In just a month's absence, her realm had significantly improved.
"A major change has occurred in the Kingdom of Eternal Night. If it weren't for my excuse of looking for the alien crystal, I probably wouldn't have been able to leave." Shen Wuyi responded indifferently.
Pan Buwang naturally knew what the major change Shen Wuyi was talking about was, so he was not upset. He just said hesitantly: "Do you still remember what you promised me?"
"Of course I remember. First, I will never reveal the relationship between you and him. Second, I will never do anything to hurt you or him. Third, I will never reveal what happened between us to a third person." Shen Wuyi repeated the three rules he had made with Pan Buwang in the sea of fog that day word for word.
"I know your concerns, but since you are willing to wait for me here, you have already made your choice. Why bother?" Shen Wuyi said in a low voice, as if he had completely seen through Pan Buwang's thoughts.
"You are right. Master is such an unfathomable person. No matter what schemes you have, they are all in vain. I am just worried that my presumptuous behavior will make Master disappointed in me." Pan Buwang respected Wu Huang very much in his heart, so he hesitated.
"Don't worry, this time will only help you gain more of his trust." Shen Wuyi said affirmatively.
"?" Pan Buwang didn't know where Shen Wuyi got his confidence from, he just felt that what the other party said was unquestionable.
Deep in the sea of fog, Pan Buwang continuously released his dark mystical power, hoping to attract the attention of the Fog Emperor.
“I’m finally here. It took me so long.” Yun Che opened his eyes. “It’s not surprising that the estimate here is that it will take at least five years to achieve any results. This is still a bit long.”
To perfectly inherit the divine source, the heir had better reach the ultimate realm of God. There is still a certain gap between the sons and daughters of God in the major divine kingdoms.
“Huh? Why are you bringing Qingyue along?” Yun Che sensed Shen Wuyi’s presence and was a little puzzled.
Although these two people have had some intersection in the foggy sea, their relationship is not so deep that they can reveal their biggest secrets.
However, Yun Che did not feel conflicted, simply because it was Xia Qingyue. After they met in the sea of fog, he became more and more certain that Qingyue had not changed. Although she had temporarily lost her memory, the bond between them still existed.
Yun Che hid under Yuan Chen and appeared in front of the two of them riding on the Abyssal Kirin God.
"Buwang, how dare you bring outsiders to see me?" As soon as they met, Wu Huang's words like a devil's chant came out, with obvious anger, as if blaming Pan Buwang for acting on his own.
"Master, I..."
Pan Buwang knelt down and was about to explain when he heard Shen Wuyi's words.
"It was my request. I have recalled some of my memories. You and I can talk alone."
Upon hearing this, Yun Che felt a surge of excitement. If Xia Qingyue could fully recover her memory, then he would no longer be alone in the abyss, and his plan would be able to move one step closer.
"Very interesting. This emperor will grant you a chance to speak. If you are not in vain, please step aside." Yun Che's words remained calm, without showing any excessive excitement.
Although Pan Buwang was shocked and didn't expect that Shen Wuyi and Wu Huang would have a connection, he was smart enough not to ask and just quietly stepped aside.
A barrier built by Yuan Chen enveloped Yun Che and Shen Wuyi, and no one could explore anything within the barrier.
"You are Yun Che, right?"
The first words Shen Wuyi said were so earth-shattering that they caught Yun Che off guard.
“Hmph, I am the supreme being conceived at the beginning of the abyss. How could I be the lowly spirit you are talking about?” Although his heart and soul were shaken, Yun Che remained calm and was not affected by Shen Wuyi’s words.
"You don't have to hide in front of me. You and I are always on the same side." Shen Wuyi spoke calmly, slowly took off her veil, revealing her stunning face, expressing her sincerity.
Although Yun Che wanted to admit it directly, the matter was of such great importance that he did not want to take any risks. He continued stubbornly, "How dare you be compared to me? You are simply overestimating yourself. If this is all you want to say, then you can leave. Don't tell anyone about what happened here, especially the matter involving Buwang."
The Mist Emperor's words were full of threats, without a trace of personal emotion.
Shen Wuyi didn't say anything else, but stretched out her right hand. A wisp of abyssal dust was circling around her fingertips.
"You can control Yuanchen, and so can I."
Shen Wuyi used a method that could be called shocking, forcing Yun Che to admit his disguise.
“…”
Yun Che was so shocked that he was speechless for a long time. He had originally thought that he was the only one in this world who possessed such a heaven-defying power because he had the aura of the Ancestral God in his body. In addition, his Void Saint Body was like the reincarnation of the Ancestral God. However, he had never expected that Xia Qingyue would also have such an ability. This was completely beyond his expectations.
"The abyss dust you left on Shaxing contains a trace of your soul imprint. I can feel it." Shen Wuyi said softly, "I originally thought that Shaxing's changes were entirely due to the influence of the legendary Mist Emperor, but when I felt the soul imprint you left on Shaxing, I suddenly understood the whole process."
"Back then, the rumor that the Star God's Profound Veins were damaged by the Abyss Corrosion was probably your doing. You used this as a trigger to inject the Abyss Dust into his body, triggering this horrific transformation, transforming the Star God into an Abyss Ghost. All of this clearly indicates that the so-called Mist Emperor was just your disguise."
"During the period after the Pure Land Conference, I searched for all the information about you and Pan Buwang. The time you appeared in the Abyss and the time when the Mist Emperor appeared completely overlapped, which further confirmed my speculation."
"That day in the Sea of Mist, I also discovered the unusual connection between Pan Buwang and the Mist Emperor. He once said, 'The Mist Emperor has done him a favor,' and he and Sha Xingyuan came to the Pure Land Conference together. Furthermore, after Sha Xingyuan transformed into a ghost, his expression was only slightly surprised, and he remained surprisingly calm. Therefore, I had a heart-to-heart talk with him and learned about your relationship with him."
Shen Wuyi's analysis progressed step by step, covering all possibilities and reaching the final conclusion - the Mist Emperor was Yun Che in disguise.
“You don’t have to worry. I have never mentioned this to anyone, nor will I reveal even a single detail. Even the soul mark you left in Yuanchen is only sensed by me.” Shen Wuyi said softly, dispelling all of Yun Che’s doubts.
