“Are you wondering why I can’t do this, or why the Li Suo within you can’t do it either?” The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor seemed to see through Yun Che’s inner thoughts and spoke slowly, “Because I poured almost all of my strength into sealing the Evil Infant, I didn’t have any extra strength to complete this task. During the Outer Chaos, if I had forcibly separated Jasmine from the Evil Infant, Jasmine would have died. That’s why I chose not to do it. At the time, I felt that I could seal the Evil Infant myself, so there was no need to do this.”
"In fact, before she fell into a deep sleep, Jasmine had a conversation with me. She told me that she had two obsessions to live. One was because she had an unresolved resentment in her heart, and the other was because of you, because she couldn't let you go. We tacitly reached an agreement and chose to seal her." The Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor knew Yun Che's feelings for Jasmine, and also understood Jasmine's dedication to Yun Che. She admired such true love, which was one of the important reasons why she chose not to sacrifice Jasmine.
“It’s just that none of us could have anticipated that there would be an unexpected situation with the seal, so I wasn’t prepared at all to deal with it. In the end, I had no choice but to sacrifice myself to strengthen the seal.” A trace of fatigue appeared on the face of the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor.
"Jasmine..." Yun Che whispered Jasmine's name softly, his voice woven with attachment and tenderness. He had always been aware of Jasmine's feelings. They had once dreamed of spending the rest of their lives together on the Blue Pole Star, a life free from worries and a simple, peaceful existence. But now everything had changed, and there was no going back to the past...
The Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor continued, "Li Suo's light profound energy is completely opposed to the Evil Infant's dark profound energy, and is inherently repelled by it. Furthermore, her combat abilities aren't strong, and her Miracle of Life is primarily used for healing. She might be able to temporarily suppress the Evil Infant, but separating their spirits is simply impossible. Furthermore, Li Suo hasn't yet recovered to her true Creation God Realm, making such an effort even more impossible. Therefore, you must rely on yourself for everything. In this world, you are the only one who holds even a sliver of hope, capable of accomplishing this seemingly impossible feat."
The Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor did not attempt to comfort Yun Che, but chose to tell him the crueler reality. She wanted Yun Che to understand that he could only rely on himself, and that he could not rely on the power of others.
Yun Che slowly raised his head, his face devoid of any trace of frustration, only determination. This was the Jasmine he deeply loved. He had already lost her once, and this time, no matter what, he would never lose her again. No matter what the price, no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, nothing could stop him from moving forward.
“I will do it.” Yun Che finally uttered these five words lightly, but each word weighed a thousand pounds, as if it had become his lifelong oath.
"I hope so. The last of my strength can only be used to seal the Evil Infant's cultivation realm. The rest is beyond my ability. I should have died a million years ago. I am still alive and well in this world. This is a great fortune." The Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor sighed with a heavy tone.
"Yun Che, this time I re-entered the Outer Chaos, I unexpectedly learned a shocking secret. This is the most important reason why I believe you can succeed." After hesitating for a moment, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor finally poured out the secret in her heart. Whether for Yun Che or for her daughter, she hoped to leave a glimmer of hope for the present world.
Yun Che's breathing slowed instantly, and an expression of unconcealable shock appeared on his face. What secrets were hidden in the outer chaos that could move the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor so much?
"The Evil Infant was originally very weak, but since arriving in the Outer Chaos, freed from the constraints of this world's laws, its power has begun to grow endlessly. The nutrients it needs to grow are negative emotions, and the Outer Chaos contains exactly what it has always dreamed of - the resentment accumulated by my people for millions of years! The strength of this negative emotion is absolutely beyond the imagination of those in this world." The Sky-Smiting Devil Emperor did not directly reveal the shocking secret, but instead began by recounting the Evil Infant's experiences after entering the Outer Chaos.
"In just a few breaths, the Evil Infant's cultivation level advanced from the Half-Step Divine Destruction Realm to the peak of the Divine Ultimate Realm. I sensed the situation was dire and began to gather all my clansmen to prepare to seal the Evil Infant once again. In ancient times, when gods and demons roamed the land, I participated in the ritual of sealing the Evil Infant, so I am very familiar with this powerful sealing method."
"Finally, thanks to the tireless efforts of my clan and I, the Evil Infant was temporarily sealed, and it fell into silence for several years. At that time, I thought the Evil Infant would be unable to break free anytime soon, and everything would return to peace. However, when I informed my clan of the current situation, some of them were completely unable to accept it and began to plot a plan to destroy the world. Ultimately, they took advantage of my unpreparedness and released the Evil Infant once again, even sacrificing themselves to it..."
A deep sense of exhaustion and self-blame was revealed in the eyes of the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor. The origin of all this could be attributed to her own presumptuous decision.
"I underestimated the hatred my people had pent up over the past million years. The Evil Infant used this opportunity to break through and become a True God. It then devoured and absorbed the remaining members of my tribe, reaching the realm of a Higher True God in one fell swoop, and finally turned its arrogance on me."
Yun Che remained silent, merely listening quietly. The whispers of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor were too profound. He could only imagine how heartbroken and desperate the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor must have felt the moment his people had "betrayed" him...
"As a magical weapon, the Evil Infant Wheel of Myriad Tribulations is one I'm all too familiar with. The Evil Infant's spirit within it was created by the Ancestral God, and it simply cannot be annihilated by mortal forces. I can only seal it temporarily. So, after exhausting all my might to seal the Evil Infant once again, I began to consider a way to completely resolve the Evil Infant's threat. Ultimately, I decided to use my own body as the sealing key, my own soul as the sealing key, and my own creation magic power to completely seal the Evil Infant. This way, the seal will last at least tens of thousands of years, and it will also completely dissipate the terrifying power within it. Even if the Evil Infant eventually breaks free, it will no longer pose a threat."
The Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor slowly closed her eyes, a myriad of thoughts swirling across her face. The moment she decided to return to the Outer Chaos, she had already made the resolve to die. Facing the Evil Infant head-on, the Heaven-Smiting Devil Emperor showed no fear. She simply wanted to use her broken body to make a final contribution to the modern world. Therefore, her ultimate choice to sacrifice herself was entirely willing.
But fate always seems to play tricks on people, and everything doesn't go as she imagined. Shortly after she sacrificed herself to complete the seal, an unexpected accident occurred...
"According to my thinking, without the negative emotions that nourished them, all my clansmen had vanished, and the Evil Infant's cultivation realm shouldn't have surged again. Everything should have been settled... But I never imagined that soon after, a powerful wave of negative emotions would emerge from nowhere within the Outer Chaos. This emotion was several times more intense than the accumulated resentment of all my clansmen... The Evil Infant's power surged again, reaching the same level of Creation God Realm as myself. She began to gather her strength to attack the seal I had set."
