Su Nian was stunned. Before she could make any move to resist, Qian Shudie pulled her and Mo Rouyun forward.
Mo Rouyun wore a faint smile and did not resist at all, but obediently let Qian Shudie lead her forward.
After Su Nian and Mo Rouyun were seated, the Second Elder asked with a solemn and serious expression, "Su Nian, I heard that you have plans to fight against the Human Emperor?"
Su Nian nodded slightly, indicating her agreement.
"Yes, I plan to expose his crimes over the past thousand years and reveal his half-human, half-demon identity to the public." Su Nian's tone was firm and resolute.
"But have you ever considered that the Elder Council of the Human Emperor's Palace actually knows about everything the Human Emperor has done?" the Second Elder asked rhetorically, a hint of worry in her eyes.
Su Nian nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, but he didn't care. "So what if the Elder Council of the Human Emperor's Palace knows? What I want is the hearts of tens of millions of people, not the approval of the Elder Council of the Human Emperor's Palace."
"No, you may not have understood what I mean." The Second Elder then said very seriously, "Rumors aren't about right or wrong, but about... who has the loudest voice!"
Su Nian was taken aback; he seemed not to have considered this aspect.
He originally thought that as long as he revealed the truth, people would see the true face of the Emperor. However, the Second Elder's words made him realize that things were not so simple.
In any world, the dissemination of information is often influenced by various factors. Sometimes, the truth can be drowned out by countless rumors and fake news.
Moreover, people are more likely to believe voices that have a wider reach and greater influence.
This is something he overlooked.
"We all know that you were once the Great Emperor of Reincarnation who reversed a hundred lifetimes. In terms of prestige and strength, you should have been superior. But how do the people of this life see you? At such a young age, you suddenly possessed invincible cultivation. Although you successfully thwarted Ye Hua's schemes at the Holy Radiance Sect, you also created a huge hole in the heavens! In the end, it was His Majesty the Human Emperor who helped you patch up the mess! In the eyes of the people of Holy Fire City, you are the one who caused the disaster, while His Majesty the Human Emperor is the one who cleaned up the mess for you," the Second Elder said earnestly.
After hearing the Second Elder's words, Su Nian fell into deep thought.
Yes, the Second Elder is absolutely right.
People often only believe what they see with their own eyes, and they don't understand the true meaning behind their victory. Perhaps in many people's eyes, they have only subdued a minor Foundation Establishment stage demon, but it was this battle that triggered a torrential rain, bringing severe flooding to Holy Fire City.
Moreover, to say something you might not like to hear, your goodwill with the Illusion Demon Clan is no secret. The fact that you even had a ghost marriage with a princess of the Illusion Demon Clan has been widely known throughout the Demon Realm. You must understand, the people of the Nine Provinces have always harbored deep hatred for the Demon Clan, and your current image… can only be described as inspiring both anger and fear in them. If you were to compare your prestige with that of the Human Emperor, you probably wouldn't even be worthy of looking up to him.”
The Second Elder was absolutely telling the truth.
Originally, Su Nian was calculating that as long as she had Leng Heiyi as a witness, she would be able to convict the Emperor of colluding with the Demon Clan. But now, thinking about it carefully…
Uh... if we're talking about the person who has the most serious illicit relationship with the demons, shouldn't it be me?
No, no, no...
This can no longer be described simply as "collusion." This is blatant treason!
From this perspective, anyone could be qualified to accuse the Emperor of treason.
Su Nian was the only one who didn't.
"Next, it's the Demon Realm!" the Second Elder said in a low and solemn voice. "Your current situation is extremely dangerous. With your current unparalleled cultivation level, I'm afraid neither the Demon Realm nor the Nine Provinces can accommodate you. Although you held a ghost marriage ceremony with Qian Shudie, you are still the master of the Quanxiu lineage. With such a special identity, even if the demons outwardly fawn over you and obey your every word, they will certainly not follow your orders behind your back."
“This…” Su Nian was speechless.
Given this situation, it's even more impossible to unite the forces of both the Nine Provinces and the Demon Realm. Being able to avoid being simultaneously pursued and besieged by forces from both regions is already a stroke of luck.
"Then, in your opinion, Second Elder, how should I respond?"
"Just now, Rouyun..."
Mo Rouyun raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Just continue to call me Fourth Elder."
Her voice was gentle yet firm, conveying a reassuring strength.
The second elder nodded in acknowledgment, indicating his understanding and respect.
She stared sharply at Mo Rouyun and pressed, "Alright, didn't the Fourth Elder just say that your ability is memory sharing?"
Mo Rouyun nodded slightly and replied softly, "That's right. My abilities are mainly based on sharing. Whether it's cultivation, memories, lifespan, or joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, I can transmit and share these emotions and experiences with others in a special way, with one person at the center."
Her tone was calm, but the power it contained inspired awe.
The Second Elder's gaze became even more focused as she continued to press, "Then... how wide is the range? Are there any limitations to this ability? How far can it cover, or how many people can it affect?"
