Standing quietly in the Elemental God Tower, Yun Che's face didn't show much joy at his impending return to the God Realm. He felt deeply saddened that his return was achieved at the cost of the "self-sacrifice" of Mo Su and the others.
At this moment, he felt nothing but deep respect for Mosu. For someone who had remained true to their heart for Pan Xiaodie for a million years, all they sought was a moment of peace for the two of them. This wasn't excessive, it could even be said to be pitifully small. Instead, he felt the world owed them something.
"Yun Che."
As Yun Che was lost in thought, Qianye Ying'er's voice drifted over. She and Xia Qingyue approached together, their faces etched with worry and confusion.
“What’s wrong?” Yun Che forced a smile. Seeing Qianye Ying’er and Xia Qingyue getting along so well, he felt very comforted. “I’m going home soon. Are you feeling a little overwhelmed?”
He guessed that the two of them might be feeling "homesick and more timid" about returning to the divine realm.
Qianye Ying'er gently shook her head, her lips pursed, as if she was about to speak but hesitated. She truly didn't know how to begin. Just now, she and Xia Qingyue had learned that Yun Che had lost his true divine power and no longer possessed the strength he had once possessed to challenge Mo Su. She knew full well that the Evil Infant's power was beyond imagination. Given Yun Che's current state, if the Evil Infant returned to the world, the consequences would be unimaginable... Perhaps, there truly was no one left in this world who could stop the Evil Infant's advances...
"What's going on? Is there some secret between you and me that can't be shared?" Yun Che had never seen Qianye Ying'er so shy before, and a sense of foreboding rose in his heart. However, he tried his best to control his expression, not letting this uneasiness show on his face.
"Let me tell you." Xia Qingyue took a step forward, a complex look in her eyes. She understood that what she was about to tell Yun Che might be the most agonizing decision for him. "Jasmine is not dead."
"What... did you say?" The smile on Yun Che's face froze instantly, as if frozen in time. When he heard the word "Jasmine," his heart seemed to stop beating, and he froze completely. Then, the three words "not dead" completely shook his heart. He stared at Xia Qingyue with wide eyes, convinced that he had heard correctly—Xia Qingyue had said: Jasmine is not dead!
His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, his body trembled slightly, and a storm of emotions surged in his heart.
“You heard right, Jasmine is not dead.” Xia Qingyue repeated. She knew that this was the news Yun Che wanted to hear the most, so she told him this first. “But—”
Xia Qingyue's expression was solemn, and she spoke slowly, pausing between each sentence as if to give him ample time to reflect. "You know, Jasmine had already fully released the Evil Infant back then, and her power even faintly surpassed that of a Divine Lord. But a being at the Divine Lord level, or even at the Divine Annihilation level, simply cannot survive in the Outer Chaos. You should be very clear about this."
Qianye Ying'er's eyes remained fixed on Yun Che, filled with worry. She was terrified of Yun Che's next reaction, and her heart was gripped tightly.
Outer Chaos was a deadly place; this was the consensus of everyone. Back then, only with the help of the Qiankun Thorn could the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor and her people survive. But now, Jasmine, a Divine Lord-level being, was still alive. The significance of this was self-evident... She couldn't possibly survive there on her own. The only thing keeping her alive was the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations.
This magical weapon, ranked second among Xuantian's treasures, is even more powerful than the Qiankun Thorn. Naturally, it can also survive in the lifeless outer chaos, but it will rely on the power of the Evil Infant...
"I understand what you mean, but one thing is absolutely correct. She is my Jasmine, the only Jasmine. No matter what she becomes, I will never give up on her, much less kill her." Yun Che slowly raised his eyes, gazing firmly at Xia Qingyue and Qianye Ying'er, and spoke in an extremely solemn tone, "Moreover, Jasmine is the master of the Evil Infant. She can never be controlled by the Evil Infant. Only she can control the Evil Infant. Therefore, no matter how powerful she becomes, she will still be the 'Blood-stained Jasmine'. She will never change, ever."
Whether it was his movements or his expression, they all spoke of Yun Che's determination. Especially the irrepressible surprise and anticipation in his eyes, which was even more moving. There was not a single trace of worry on his face.
Xia Qingyue had anticipated Yun Che's reaction, but its intensity still exceeded her imagination. Everything seemed to be developing in the direction she least wanted to see. Without Mo Su and the priests, the strongest of those who returned to the God Realm were only at the Ultimate Divine Realm, which was no match for the Evil Infant...
When Qianye Ying'er heard Yun Che's words, her worries intensified. She hesitated, wanting to say something but not knowing how to start.
"Yes, she may not have changed, but we can't gamble with our lives. The Evil Infant is a terrifying existence that will end the Age of Gods and Demons. No one would believe that a being like the Evil Infant could have compassion." Xia Qingyue's tone began to become cold and ruthless, and her eyes revealed deep worry.
"Yun Che, as an individual, you do have the right to retain your own selfish desires. But now that you are the Emperor, you must put the safety of everyone first. The danger of the Evil Infant is self-evident, and you are more than aware of it. The Evil Infant has now recovered a lot of its strength and has once again ascended to the position of a True God. In this world, no one can compete with it!" Xia Qingyue's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes serious and anxious. She spoke word by word, her tone filled with worry and anxiety about the future.
