“Yun Che, are gods and demons still in a state of opposition in this world today?” The Nine Evils Demon Emperor slowly asked the most burdensome question that had been buried deep in his heart for a long time. This was undoubtedly the biggest problem in his heart.
The Nine Evils Demon Emperor stopped and left, and there was a hint of desolation in his back, as if even this generation of Demon Emperor had regrets hidden deep in his heart.
Yun Che's eyes flickered as he decided to begin his story from the beginning of his journey into the God Realm. "Before I unified the God Realm and ascended to the throne, this world was almost entirely ruled by the Gods, and the Demons could only linger in the Northern Divine Territory. This was the legacy of the great war between Gods and Demons. The Gods defined dark profound energy as a symbol of evil, and the Demons were therefore labeled evil, becoming the targets shunned by all those in the God Realm."
“But after I became emperor, the conflict between gods and demons no longer existed in this world. The gods and demons have completely merged. I received the favor of the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor and thoroughly understood the truth about the demons. Dark profound energy is essentially just a type of profound energy, not as evil as those gods maliciously portray it to be. Today, the status of the demons in the God Realm is even higher than that of the gods.” Yun Che spoke slowly, clearly explaining the changes in the status of the demons.
"I never thought that my descendants would eventually achieve the imperial cause in this world. Well, you've done well. I hope you will never be bound by such absurd talk about the opposition between gods and demons, and let this world return to peace and beauty." The Nine Evils Demon Emperor turned around, staring at Yun Che as he bid him a final farewell. The gloom in his heart had completely dissipated with Yun Che's words. "Yun Che, don't lose your original intention. You must stick to it from beginning to end. I'm leaving now."
Yun Che's gaze fell on the Nine Evils Devil Emperor. Although he had only briefly crossed paths with the former Number One Devil Emperor, he was already certain that the Nine Evils Devil Emperor, like the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, was kind by nature.
“Ancestor, please stay. I wonder if you can answer a question for this younger generation.” Yun Che hurriedly called out, stopping the Nine Evils Demon Emperor who was about to completely dissipate.
"Haha, go ahead and say it, but I don't have much time left." The Nine Evils Demon Emperor smiled and said slowly.
"Ancestor is so open-minded and unrestrained, so why did you take the initiative to attack the Temple of Life and provoke a dispute between the gods and demons?" Yun Che asked in confusion. "Although this junior and Ancestor have just met, from this brief conversation alone, I can confirm that Ancestor is definitely not a person who cannot distinguish between good and evil, nor is he a bloodthirsty person. On the contrary, you are as kind as the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor. However, the so-called 'truth' recorded in the world is a slander against you, and everyone believes that you are the main reason for provoking the final war between gods and demons. Therefore, I want to clear your name and give you justice."
"Hahaha, I've said it before, I don't care what others think. But—" The Nine Evils Demon Emperor paused, his gaze towards Yun Che clearly filled with admiration, "I'm very happy that you have such a thought. As my junior, I'm deeply relieved that you have such thoughts. Everything has become history, there's nothing to recall. Even if I carry a stigma, so what? It's nothing you can't bring with you when you're born, and you can't take with you when you die. Yun Che, remember, there's no need to clear my name, because it was indeed my fault back then."
The Nine Evils Demon Emperor's eyes flickered, a hazy glint flashing through them, revealing a hint of self-blame and shame. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked directly at Yun Che and said, "But now that we've come to this, I feel it's necessary to tell you the truth of what happened back then, even though you may never encounter a similar situation."
"You're probably familiar with the origins of this incident. It was the old villain, Mo'e, who banished Jie Yuan to the Outer Chaos. We, the Four Demon Emperors, share a deep bond, as close as brothers. Upon hearing this news, no one could tolerate it. This isn't just because Jie Yuan is like a sister to me, but also because Mo'e's actions have severely trampled upon the dignity of our entire demon race. There's already been a lot of friction between the gods and demons, and this incident has inflamed the entire demon race."
"By then, even if I had no intention of provoking a conflict between gods and demons, I would have been forced to move forward by the tide of the times. Nirvana and Panming were even more impatient than I was. However, due to Mo'e's blessing of the Ancestral Sword of Heaven Slaying, his absolute power surpassed everyone else, so the entire demon clan held back. It wasn't until Mo'e's death that we decided to take action."
The Nine Evils Demon Emperor suddenly paused and asked, "Yun Che, do you know why my Demon Emperor's name is 'Nine Evils'?"
The word "Nine Evils" clearly carried a murderous aura and hinted at a violent temper, completely different from the image of the Nine Evils Demon Emperor Yun Che had seen. This First Demon Emperor possessed no murderous aura at all, appearing affable and kind. It was difficult to associate him with the word "Nine Evils," but the Ancestral God had a purpose in bestowing this name upon him.
Before Yun Che could reply, the Nine Evils Demon Emperor began to explain, “Because my demonic aura is the aura of evil spirits, it absorbs all my negative emotions. Under normal circumstances, I can completely control it, but one day a month, I lose full control. When Jie Yuan was here, she could use the power of the Eternal Tribulation of Darkness to soothe my demonic aura. But ever since her accident, my demonic aura has become increasingly violent and difficult to control… Even I myself have been affected by the negative emotions.”
"After the old villain Mo'e died, we demons decided to seek justice for Jie Yuan. By then, I had begun to lose control of my urge to kill, and my mind began to blur. In the end, we decided that I would take the initiative to control Li Suo, who possessed the profound power of light, to prevent her from posing a threat to our demons. When I stepped into the Temple of Life, I almost completely lost my mind. The desire to kill took over my mind, and I eventually slaughtered all the people in the Temple of Life. After being drenched in blood, I suddenly regained some of my consciousness. Looking at the broken corpses and debris on the ground, I was instantly heartbroken. I couldn't believe the crimes I had committed..." The Nine Evils Demon Emperor slowly raised his hands, as if they were stained with blood, making him dare not look directly at them, nor dare he touch them.
