"You are right, but you don't know how deep Emperor Yuan's obsession is now!" The Lingxian priest stood up, his wrinkled face full of sorrow.
"Someone once said that time is the best antidote to love. As time passes, all emotions will fade. But unfortunately, Yuan Huang is different. Even though millions of years have passed, he still hasn't forgotten that person."
"Even his longing for her and his sense of indebtedness grew day by day. Now, it's no longer a normal obsession, but has turned into a deformed emotion."
A strange look flashed across Yun Che's face. Listening to the words of the Spiritual Immortal Priests, it seemed as if the priests already knew everything. However, from their standpoint, they were unable to stop it, nor could they persuade it. Therefore, someone needed to stand up and help them resolve Yuan Huang's obsession.
And he seemed to be that choice.
"Such obsession has abandoned ideals and beliefs, becoming a sharp blade that poisons the abyss. I know this is not the Abyss Emperor's original intention, but no one can persuade or stop it. This obsession has penetrated deep into the bone marrow and is incurable..."
The sigh of the Immortal Priestess was unusually clear. She had been worried about Emperor Yuan all these years.
"Do you know why we are telling you this?" Priest Liu Xiao put away his usual carefree attitude and spoke seriously.
“You want me to resolve Emperor Yuan’s obsession?” Yun Che feigned surprise.
Priest Liu Xiao nodded seriously.
“Four priests, are you being too kind to me…” Yun Che acted helpless, expressing his limited abilities.
"In fact, we have been waiting for someone. This person is the only one in this world who may have a glimmer of hope to resolve the Abyssal Emperor's obsession." The Wandao Priest said with absolute certainty, "That person is you."
“Me?” Yun Che was stunned. He would never have thought that someone would force something on him that he wanted to do. It was truly interesting.
"Indeed, among the True Gods who fell into the abyss with us, there was a special existence named Tianji Zhenjun. He could calculate some of the secrets of heaven. If the Heaven-Slaying Ancestral Sword hadn't blocked his calculations of the Heavenly Dao during that battle, perhaps we wouldn't have fallen into this abyssal world."
True Lord Tianji?
Why does this name feel so familiar?
It seems that a place called Tianji Realm appeared at the Eastern Divine Territory's Mysterious God Conference that year, and the three Tianji elders who predicted Yun Che to be the "Son of Heaven" came from there.
If you are kind, all heavens will be at peace forever; if you are evil, the devil will destroy the world.
Looking back at the twelve-word mantra now, it seems incredibly accurate.
Could it be...
Yun Che's mind tightened for a moment. He had never believed in such unfounded prophecies before, but as facts had proven time and again, there were some things he had to believe.
"Tianji Zhenjun was the most powerful True God in the ancient world of gods. He was famous for his calculations and insights into the secrets of heaven. He was absolutely sure of his mistakes."
"I was fortunate enough to follow him and learn the art of heaven's secrets. It's a pity that I only dabbled in the basics and didn't get even one tenth of his true teachings." Priest Wan Dao has a wide range of interests and even dabbled in the art of heaven's secrets.
"Before his death, the True Lord of Heaven's Secrets glimpsed the secrets of Heaven for future generations and left behind the final prophecy of Heaven's Secrets—"
"The wheel of time collapses and a black tide appears, bringing disaster to all living things. Changes from heaven release the emperor's grievances, and the origin of primordial chaos returns to life."
Another divine prediction... You guys in the divine world are so awesome, why don't you read your own fortune...
Yun Che couldn't help but complain.
"The first two sentences are easy to understand. They are the true portrayal of the current world of the Abyss. The Abyss Time Wheel collapsed, the Time Black Tide appeared, and the Heavenly Dao sent down disasters that brought disaster to all living things. All of this stems from the Abyss Emperor's obsession."
"Perhaps you cannot understand the connection between these two things, but that is not important. You just need to know the meaning of this sentence," explained the Great Wilderness Priest.
"The last two sentences bring hope to the present world. A change will come from the sky to dilute and dissolve the resentment and obsession of the Abyss Emperor. Ultimately, the primordial energy from the beginning of creation will descend and revive all things."
The Great Wilderness Priest spoke very slowly, explaining every word very clearly. This was the biggest secret among the four of them.
"Even Emperor Yuan did not know this prophecy, so we naturally will not tell it to others. However, the prophecies are now being fulfilled one by one, and the variables we have been waiting for have not yet appeared."
"I searched the six kingdoms but couldn't find any such variables until you appeared. I didn't pay attention to you at first, until a few days ago when the Abyss Emperor came and specifically mentioned your name."
"There are not many people in this world whose names can be remembered by the Yuan Emperor. You are one of them. I am well aware of your peculiarities and have investigated them thoroughly."
"You suddenly appeared, possessing a perfect godhood, the profound power of light, and inheriting the legacy of the Elemental Creator God. You are clearly the 'variable' we have been waiting for."
The Great Desolate Priest's final words were filled with unusually obvious excitement. When he actually saw Yun Che appear this time, a bright light seemed to appear in his eyes, and no one else could catch his eye.
He was absolutely certain that Yun Che was the person they were looking for.
“…”
Yun Che: (...)
You have investigated it so thoroughly, is there any possibility for me to defend myself?
“I think you priests still think too highly of me. Although I have inherited the legacy of the God of Creation, I have practiced diligently over the years, and I am still only at the sixth level of the Supreme Divine Realm. I am still far from the ‘variable’ that you are talking about that can resolve the Abyss Emperor’s obsession.” Yun Che evaded the question.
“The fact that you were able to miraculously ‘come back from the dead’ and have grown so much in strength is simply inexplicable. Even someone as knowledgeable as me still can’t find a reasonable answer. But it doesn’t matter. I know you carry many secrets. The fact that you were able to make a ‘twelve-year agreement’ with Emperor Yuan back then is enough to prove your courage and boldness. I believe you will become the ‘variable’ we are waiting for.” The priest Wan Dao had studied Yun Che for a long time but still couldn’t find the answer, so he simply gave up his interest in Yun Che.
"You don't need to feel pressured, just follow your heart and complete what you do. We tell you this just because we hope that when you meet Emperor Yuan later, you will not do anything extreme. You are still too weak now. Even if you are really the 'variable' in the prophecy, you are still not qualified to be presumptuous in front of Emperor Yuan." The Great Wilderness Priest said seriously.
If you knew my true feelings, would you still speak to me so calmly as you do now?
I am the devil who will destroy the entire world of the abyss!
Yun Che kept complaining in his heart that the four great priests were a bit naive.
Except for Mu Su, everyone else in the world of the abyss seems to be "silly and sweet", simple and cute.
However, Yun Che still nodded seriously and said, "I cherish my life the most. Thank you, four priests, for telling me this."
"There is one more important thing I need to tell you." The Great Wilderness Priest showed a rare shock in his soul.
