"I never intended to hurt you."
The Jade Emperor closed his eyes in despair and then opened them again. "You have everything except freedom."
"All I want is freedom!"
Huan Yun roared, his voice almost cracking.
The Jade Emperor lost his balance. Yu An and Zhao Yan attacked, but he struggled to stay upright, gripping Huan Yun tightly, and said with resentment, "You want to leave? Don't even think about it!"
The two were thrown apart. The Jade Emperor trapped Huan Yun within the barrier, then looked at Tuoba Yan and said coldly, "Today is your death day!"
The wound in his chest did not affect him. Among the celestial officials, there were many who helped the Jade Emperor. The situation shifted slightly, and the Jade Emperor gained the upper hand.
Sisi opened the Demon and Ghost Record, and hordes of demons and ghosts joined the battle, proving to be no less formidable than the heavenly soldiers and generals.
The Jade Emperor was defeated.
"Long Sisi, how dare you betray me for the sake of the demon race? You are a goddess, you exist for all living beings in the Three Realms, not for Tuoba Yan!"
The Jade Emperor's face was covered in blood.
Sisi said softly, "Uncle Jade Emperor, I did this for the sake of all living beings in the Three Realms. Your heart is too small, so small that it can only hold Huanyun and cannot see the suffering of the people."
"Jade Emperor, do you still remember the natural disaster you brought down in Qingyuan? You could have killed me openly, but you chose to do it under the pretext of harming the people. You even had the idea of harming the people again and again. You are not worthy to be the Jade Emperor."
Tuoba Yan wiped the blood from his face. "You're wrong too. In all the years I've been alive, I've never harmed any innocent people. I am the Demon King, but not the Demon King you speak of. I am more compassionate than you."
The Jade Emperor clenched his fist. "You are not now, but you will be in the future. This is your destiny. This is your fate. You will be possessed by demonic bones..."
"I have broken free from its control."
Tuoba Yan curled his lips, "The Demon Bone no longer exists, Jade Emperor. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Don't be too arrogant."
Looking at the current situation, the Jade Emperor saw that the heavenly soldiers and generals had all been controlled by the demons and monsters, and the celestial officials dared not use their full strength under the command of the Three Pure Ones.
They were too opportunistic; they were afraid he wouldn't fall, so they took action, but they were also afraid he would fall, so they only offered slight resistance.
He couldn't understand when the Heavenly Palace's heart had changed.
Could it really be because of Huan Yun? But she's just a woman, what influence could she possibly have?
The Three Pure Ones must have given them some benefits!
The Jade Emperor sneered, "A bunch of traitors, I will kill you all today."
Unfortunately, he was no match for the Three Pure Ones and was quickly bound tightly by the Immortal Binding Rope.
"The Three Pure Ones, I didn't believe it at first." The Jade Emperor gritted his teeth. He hadn't believed the rumors Long'er had spread, but he hadn't expected it to be true that the Three Pure Ones all wanted him dead.
Yu Qing smiled faintly, "I won't hurt you, but you have truly disappointed the people. Jade Emperor, look at the Three Realms. You can ignore the Ghost Realm, but even the Immortal Realm fears you and dares not act recklessly."
And what about the human realm? The suffering and devastation are your doing. Your statue as the Jade Emperor has long been replaced by that of a goddess; the hearts of the people have changed. Why do you still occupy this position?
"..."
The Jade Emperor found himself speechless.
After a moment, he spoke, “I was wrong, but no one is perfect, even gods make mistakes. Yuqing, give me a chance to make amends, and I will change.”
"Will you kill Huanyun?"
"Impossible," he blurted out.
Yu Qing scoffed, "So what if I give you this opportunity? Can those people who lost their lives ever come back?"
"I will go to the ghost realm and bring them back to life."
"You've broken the laws of nature, do you really think that's a good thing? Besides, some of them have been dead for a long time. Aren't you afraid of causing chaos in the world if you rashly resurrect them?"
Taiqing interjected, "Jade Emperor, your sins are beyond redemption. It's not that you can't see the misery in the human realm, it's that you don't want to see it. Before Huanyun was born, you never went down to the mortal world to see it, did you?"
The Jade Emperor, his face stern, said, "I rule the Three Realms. Such matters can be handled by servants. What kind of decorum would it be for me to do it personally?"
Taiqing smiled slightly, "The Jade Emperor should relinquish this position and give it to someone more suitable."
The Three Pure Ones faced him without the slightest thought of softening their hearts. The Jade Emperor, seeing this, suddenly burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, then don't blame me!"
Suddenly, a huge rift opened up in the sky, and the Three Pure Ones' expressions changed drastically. "Jade Emperor, what do you want to do?!"
"If you bring me down, you won't have an easy time either. The cycle of reincarnation has begun, so you'll all be entering the cycle with me, and you'll never be able to become immortals again!"
He laughed maniacally.
Once you enter the cycle of reincarnation, apart from the heavens, you are trapped inside and subjected to countless cycles of human, animal, evil spirit, demon, and hellish corruption, again and again, forever in the cycle of reincarnation.
The most terrifying thing is that it is an independent interface, free from any control, where you watch yourself suffer and then be resurrected, endlessly.
The crack was like a gaping maw of an abyss, sweeping in countless celestial officials and maidens within the palace. The Three Pure Ones and the Four Immortals joined forces to set up a barrier to resist, but the Jade Emperor was not giving up and flew over to grab Sisi.
He went mad, grabbing Sisi in one hand and Huanyun in the other, and flew towards the Cycle of Reincarnation. At the critical moment, a barrier of demonic energy forcefully blocked his way.
The Jade Emperor tried to leave, but Tuoba Yan struck him with a palm, sending him crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Kill me, and the cycle of reincarnation won't be shut off. Haha, you bunch of traitors, go and experience the pain of reincarnation!"
Sisi pushed Tuoba Yan away and flew towards the Cycle of Reincarnation. Tuoba Yan grabbed her, "What are you doing?"
"The cycle of reincarnation needs someone to seal it with their own body to close it. If there are no immortals to guard the celestial realm, the three realms will never have peace. I am a goddess, and it is my duty to protect the three realms."
"They're dead, they're dead. You're married to me now, you're no longer a goddess, you're my demon..."
Snap!
Sisi coldly slapped him, "The ceremony is not yet complete. I am not your Demon Queen. Don't stop me."
Tuoba Yan rubbed his sore palate and gave a bitter laugh, “Your spiritual power is too weak.”
"It's none of your business."
Sisi flew over, and Yuqing gave her a reproachful look. Sisi whispered, "Master, let me do it."
Do you know who will succeed the Jade Emperor?
"I don't care about this position."
Sisi laughed and said, "I can't even beat my senior brother, how can I be the ruler of the Three Realms? Let my senior brother do it. I am supported by the Three Realms, it is my duty."
"You're so disobedient." Yuqing looked at her with exasperation. "Your two senior uncles and I have already made a plan. Don't cause trouble. Go back to Wanbao Mountain, go!"
He tried to knock her away, but Sisi dodged it; her movements were a hundred times more agile than ever before.
“Master, I really have been studying hard.”
Sisi turned around and stood in the crack, her spiritual energy constantly emanating from her body, slowly forming a seal.
