Eastern Divine Territory, Eternal Heaven Divine Realm.
Yun Che's steps were somewhat heavy. He still harbored a glimmer of hope in his heart, believing that the soon-to-return Jasmine would still be the "blood-stained Jasmine" that had etched such a deep impression on him. Yun Che still refused to believe that the Evil Infant's consciousness had taken over Jasmine's body... but reality was often cruel...
He knew full well that Jasmine had been able to survive for such a long time in the treacherous and unpredictable Outer Chaos by drawing upon the power of the Evil Infant. But even with this clear understanding, deep down in Yun Che's heart, he still stubbornly clung to his illusions. He always believed that as the Evil Infant's master, Jasmine should have absolute control over it, and perhaps even be able to suppress it...
“Little Li Suo, is Jasmine’s spirit still… there?” Yun Che slowly walked out towards the depths of the Universe Prison. At this moment, his mind was as erratic as a leaf in a strong wind. He did not feel grateful at all for having gained a day’s respite.
“…” Silence reigned all around. Yun Che didn’t receive any response from Li Su. The look of loss on his face grew even more intense.
Maybe Xiao Li Suo didn't want to tell me the worst news...
Just as Yun Che was filled with despair, a soft white light suddenly shone around him without warning, gently enveloping him. A burst of luminous profound energy instantly erupted, forming an impenetrable, soundproof barrier. Li Suo's spirit quietly appeared before Yun Che.
“Why did you come out? Are you almost able to manifest your physical form?” Yun Che asked with a hint of curiosity.
"Because this matter is very important, I don't want anyone to spy on me. I can't communicate with you in front of the Evil Infant, otherwise she'll find out," Li Suo replied softly, but she didn't directly address the question of whether she could manifest. "I sensed two spirits within the Evil Infant Jasmine. One of them should be the Jasmine you mentioned. However, her spirit is now extremely weak. Although it hasn't dissipated yet, without external help, she will never be able to wake up."
“…” Yun Che’s eyes dimmed instantly, as if a bright star had lost its brilliance in an instant. But in a fleeting moment, a glimmer of brightness returned to his eyes, as if he had found a ray of light amidst the endless darkness. “So, then there’s still a chance that Jasmine can wake up, right? If she can use the miracle of life, perhaps she will wake up, right?”
Although Jasmine's condition was dire, she wasn't truly in despair. At least, her spirit still existed, and as long as it did, there was still hope.
Li Su nodded seriously. "The Miracle of Life has an excellent healing effect on the divine soul. With your current abilities, you can indeed do this. But this is not the key point. The key point is the second divine soul in her body. To be more precise, it should be a demonic soul."
The second demon soul? Could it be that he wasn't referring to the Evil Infant?
Yun Che frowned, his face filled with confusion.
"That's an aura I'm very familiar with, it's the aura of the Heaven-Smiting Demon Emperor. She was banished to the outside of Primal Chaos by the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor back then, so it's not surprising that she's still alive today." Li Suo said softly, her expression revealing a hint of reminiscing about the past.
!
The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's demonic soul had unexpectedly appeared within Jasmine... What did this mean...
“The Sky-Smiting Devil Emperor is indeed not dead, and she has even returned from the Outer Chaos. However, after learning about everything in the present world, she resolutely chose to return to the Outer Chaos, unwilling to destroy this world with her own existence…” Yun Che’s thoughts were instantly pulled back to the past. The touch that the Sky-Smiting Devil Emperor brought to him gave him a completely new and different understanding of the existence of demons for the first time.
"No wonder the Evil Infant's power could undergo a qualitative leap in just a few years, achieving the realm of a True God. It turns out she devoured the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor in the Outer Chaos... But this doesn't make sense. The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is a Creator God-level being, and he's simply not comparable to the current Evil Infant. Why is this so?"
"I'm not entirely sure about that," Li Suo said softly, "but what is certain is that Jie Yuan's demonic soul is now within Jasmine's body, and its power remains as formidable as ever, having not weakened much. In the Age of Gods and Demons, she was one of the key figures in sealing the Evil Infant. Perhaps this time, she wants to resolve the Evil Infant threat more thoroughly."
“Little Li Suo, are you saying that the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor ‘intentionally’ allowed the Evil Infant to devour him? Perhaps she’s planning a counterattack?” A surge of hope instantly surged in Yun Che’s heart, as if he had seen a ray of light in the darkness.
Li Su nodded gently, "You're not naive enough to think that the Evil Infant is really interested in playing with you, are you? She's simply been restrained by the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, forcing her to find an excuse to recuperate."
“But the Evil Infant said that if I agreed to play that game, she would only give me half an hour… That doesn’t make sense.” Yun Che responded with a confused look on his face.
"I've personally met the Evil Infant, and she's far from as innocent as she appears. I think she's telling you this because she understands you. She's learned everything about you from Jasmine, knows your personality, and understands your weaknesses. Therefore, she's certain you won't agree," Li Suo said slowly. "In reality, this is also a test of you, trying to confirm whether you're the same as she thinks you are."
“…”
Yun Che had always been exceptionally intelligent, but once he faced Jasmine, his mind seemed to be emptied out, all his thoughts stagnating, leaving him with no time to consider these subtle details. This was undoubtedly his most fatal weakness.
"One day you will die at the hands of a woman." Jasmine once said this, and Yun Che had proven this countless times...
