Yun Che had only been in the Eternal Night Divine Kingdom for a few days when he felt the invisible yet intense competitive atmosphere between Qianye Ying'er and Xia Qingyue becoming increasingly unbearable. Every day, he felt as if he were on a battlefield without the smoke of gunpowder. That subtle yet oppressive feeling tormented him immensely. After much deliberation, he ultimately decided to journey alone to the Pure Land, temporarily escaping this agonizing "conflict."
Yun Che had always harbored a puzzlement in his heart, wondering why Mo Su would allow those who had broken the Dao Order to run rampant in the Abyssal World. He knew in his heart that Mo Su's so-called "retreat" was just a cover. While creating a spatial channel required considerable energy, it didn't require one to be constantly immersed in it, leaving no time for leisure.
"Mist Emperor."
"Mist Emperor."
…
As soon as Yun Che set foot on the Pure Land, he noticed a distinct change. The gazes of all the Pure Land Divine Guards and Abyss Knights looking at him were no longer filled with the hostility of the past, but were replaced with awe and obedience.
The Abyssal Emperor's decree had long been announced to the world. There was only one true emperor in the Abyssal World, and that was the Mist Emperor. The meaning of this sentence was crystal clear, like an invisible decree that completely changed everyone's attitude towards Yun Che.
Yun Che nodded slightly. For a moment, he was still not used to this sudden change of identity.
Especially when his gaze fell upon Sikong Zhen, the leader of the Abyss Knights, a complex feeling washed over him, a sense of a world away. They had once been mortal enemies, clashing swords, Yun Che even transforming his brother into an Abyss Ghost Knight. Now, seeing him again, Sikong Zhen's gaze held no trace of hatred, only devotion, the same devotion he had shown before the Abyss Emperor. Yun Che couldn't help but recall the past, feeling a surge of emotion.
However, Yun Che did not dwell on this emotion for too long. Soon, he found Mo Su with ease.
Mu Su still stayed in his own secret space as before, but now it was no longer called "Paradise Lost", but was renamed "Paradise".
When Yun Che stepped into the "Paradise", a different atmosphere hit him. Everything here seemed to have been given new life. Compared with the past, there was a bit more intoxicating warmth and peace.
The colorful branches of the hibiscus tree swayed gently in the breeze, their petals blooming more gracefully than ever before. The stream beside them had become clearer, and the sand and rocks at the bottom and the small fish swimming in the water were clearly visible...
"Why, the Mist Emperor doesn't stay with his beauty, but has the mind to come to visit me?" Mo Su teased with a playful smile on his face.
"You still have the nerve to joke? Do you know that the Abyss is now in turmoil, no longer as peaceful and tranquil as it used to be?" Yun Che frowned slightly and said seriously. He naturally didn't mention that he had come here to "take refuge" because he couldn't stand the embarrassing situation of the Eternal Night Divine Kingdom.
"Hasn't the Abyssal World been in chaos enough because of you? This little turmoil at this moment is nothing." Mo Su chuckled softly. He didn't directly answer Yun Che's question. Instead, he looked at him deeply and posed a seemingly irrelevant question, "Yun Che, do you understand the way of being an 'Emperor'?"
Mo Su handed Yun Che a note.
As an emperor, one must know how to balance firmness and flexibility, not being too soft nor too violent.
As an emperor, one must know how to weigh the pros and cons, neither being too strict nor too careless;
…
Mo Su's expression was calm as he slowly spoke, "These are the principles I've gathered over the years as the Emperor. You should be aware that the Elemental God Tower can only accommodate a limited number of people, and there will always be some who are unable to reach the 'Eternal Pure Land'. And now that these Dao Order Breakers have appeared, won't they just be a good opportunity to clear that list?"
"Natural disasters and man-made disasters happen every moment in this world. All we can do is to maintain the basic order of the entire abyss. As for those innocent people who died, this is their fate. You can save them for a while, but you can't save them forever." When Mo Su spoke, his voice was steady, without any emotional fluctuations, as if he was just stating an established fact.
He paused briefly before continuing, "Actually, being able to save some of the people in the abyss is already the best possible outcome, far better than I originally anticipated. Furthermore, with enough time, the number of spatial channels will continue to increase, and the number of people saved will not be small. So, now, my priority isn't to maintain order in the abyss, but to create as many teleportation slots as possible."
Upon hearing this, Yun Che pondered inwardly. He had never been one for sentimentality. He had single-handedly poisoned billions of lives on the Azure Cloud Continent, single-handedly wiped out the Burning Heaven Sect, and even then, without hesitation, he had instantly destroyed the Moon God Realm, where countless innocent lives were held… Yun Che frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly nodded, approving of Mo Su's actions.
Seeing Yun Che's reaction, Mo Su's eyes flashed with surprise. He added, "Don't worry. The Dao Order Shatterers are only a minority after all. They can't cause much trouble. For the Abyssal World, this is just a major purge, not a major disaster. The Abyss has a deep foundation, and the scope of destruction caused by these Dao Order Shatterers is limited. It won't have a substantial impact on the foundation of the entire Abyss."
Mo Su looked at Yun Che with a deep gaze and continued, "When you return to the God Realm, you may face choices that are ten thousand times more difficult than this. Sometimes, even though we have become the supreme rulers, there are still many choices that we have to make."
There was a hint of vicissitudes in Mo Su's tone, as if he had seen through all the helplessness in the world.
"If you're willing, you might as well help the various divine kingdoms cleanse these Dao Order Collapsers; but if you're not, then let them be. Five years from now, this world will be completely destroyed. At that time, boundless Primordial Qi will flow into the Divine Realm, repairing its missing laws. Perhaps then, a true god will be able to descend upon the world once again." Mo Su looked at Yun Che with a steady gaze and said slowly, "By the way, you possess the Eternal Heaven Pearl. Can you open the Eternal Heaven Divine Realm?"
