About thirty to fifty years before the Tears of God matured, Emperor Xiu came to guard it to prevent any accidents.
From the timeline perspective, it was during this period that Yaoyue secretly ran away to the mortal realm, met the Demon Lord who was using the alias Aqiu, and fell deeply in love with him.
She used to chase after Di Xiu, and when she saw his strength and handsomeness, she was smitten and thought that was love. But after meeting A Qiu, she realized that it was just admiration and adoration.
But A-Qiu died, killed by a demonic dragon, her body never to be found—or so she thought.
She hated her own weakness and loathed the demon race. After returning to the immortal realm, she was depressed and didn't care even when her cousins came to provoke her, until Emperor Xiu brought back the immortal herbs.
She originally thought she liked Di Xiu and had repeatedly shown him affection, which was known throughout the Immortal Realm. When the Immortal Emperor saw that Di Xiu had brought back immortal herbs from the desolate lands, he took it upon himself to bring them together.
Yao Yue thought to herself that her beloved was no longer with her, so it didn't matter who she married. She also felt that Di Xiu was really good to her, so she agreed.
However, Di Xiu was injured when he returned, so they got engaged first and then married after he recovered.
Emperor Xiu felt very wronged and first refined the immortal herb for her before returning to seclusion to heal his injuries.
Then!
Yao Yue didn't stay still for long before running away from the Immortal Realm again. While trapped in a secret realm, she encountered Ming Wuqiu, who was using a powerful account.
In the secret realm, they both lost their memories, became husband and wife, and experienced a torturous and passionate love affair that was earth-shattering and life-or-death.
Emperor Xiu was summoned to save Yao Yue before he had fully recovered, and he even fought with Ming Wuqiu. In the end, the latter used a magic weapon to escape when he realized he couldn't win.
Yao Yue felt ashamed when she returned home, realizing that she had fallen in love with two people at the same time, one of whom was the Demon Lord. As she wept in front of the mirror and talked to herself, the Demon Lord arrived, infiltrated the Immortal Realm, and told her that he was A Qiu.
The Demon Lord took her on a tour, and they even went to the Demon Realm. There, Yao Yue discovered that the people of the Demon Realm were very kind to her. Although they were a bit arrogant and unrestrained in their actions, they were not like the bad people that the people of the Immortal Realm described. On the contrary, it was her uncle and fiancé who were bullying the demons too much.
The Demon Lord said he wanted to seek justice for the Demon Clan, but his strength did not allow it. He found a secret realm containing the legacy of a Demon God, but the realm was sealed by the gods. Yao Yue, immediately succumbing to her romantic nature, volunteered to help, since she was half-god and half-immortal.
Among the remaining gods, one had participated in the sealing and rushed there after realizing what had happened—which is why the Immortal Emperor no longer called Emperor Xiu.
However, that god was not good at fighting, or rather, the gods who survived the chaos caused by demons and gods were not good at fighting; the most capable ones all died at the very front.
She fell into a trap set by the demons, who were on guard. She was captured and tortured by a demon elder. When another god learned of this, he smashed through the demons with magical artifacts and treasures and rescued her.
The Demon Lord, having received the inheritance of the Demon God, greatly increased his strength, while Yao Yue was half-dead. Her immortal power clashed with that of the Demon Realm, so she had to be sent back to the Immortal Realm. Everyone thought she had been secretly harmed by the Demon Clan and felt great pity for her.
With 150 years left in the countdown to Emperor Xiu's sealing, he has finally recovered from his injuries and emerged from seclusion. Now, he must wait for Yao Yue to recover from her injuries.
As they dragged it back and forth, they reached the point where Di Xiu was sealed away.
During this time, a large amount of demonic energy suddenly appeared on the battlefield of the war between gods and demons, and it seemed to be spreading to the mortal and demon realms. He took Wuji there and found that a demon god's body had been refined... it was like a nuclear weapon.
Emperor Xiu didn't live to see the end of the Demon God's Chaos, but he heard that the Demon God's body should have been dealt with. Clearly, this was done intentionally. The situation didn't allow him much time to think; he could only choose to have Wuji clear the demonic energy first. Wuji's sword spirit fell into slumber.
During this time, Yaoyue and Ming Wuqiu secretly met and became very affectionate. Meanwhile, Di Xiu "inconsiderately" sent Yaoyue gifts, putting her under psychological pressure.
As soon as Yaoyue recovered, the Immortal Emperor and Empress began to arrange their marriage. Just as they were about to announce to the world that they had become immortal couples, Ming Wuqiu led his troops to storm the Immortal Realm and abducted the bride.
Later, after leaving this world, Di Xiu reflected on this incident and always felt that the Demon Lord's arrival was too suspicious, happening quietly and smoothly, as if there was a traitor among them.
Looking at the timeline, the traitor is the Protoss who was captured, diagnosed with Stockholm Syndrome. Once it takes effect, the symptoms are overwhelming, affecting people of all races and strengths.
Then Emperor Xiu sent his celestial soldiers and generals to rescue people, but they fell into a trap. He was severely injured by Yao Yue using the betrothal gifts she had given him, and was also struck by a sword from Ming Wuqiu. At the same time, the demonic poison he had been given earlier flared up.
How did he fall victim to these attacks one after another? When asked, he said his mind had wandered off, and Di Xiu was extremely reluctant to admit that he had experienced all of this himself.
Because he had been resurrected, Ming Wuqiu was uneasy, fearing he would rise again after his death, so he sealed him away. The seal contained no demonic energy, let alone any immortal energy. 001, by sheer coincidence, happened to arrive in this world and was caught in the crossfire, sealed away along with him.
If 001 hadn't arrived, Emperor Xiu would have self-destructed after breaking free of the seal, destroying the barrier of the Demon Realm and causing demonic energy to flow into all realms. After this or that, Ming Wuqiu and Yao Yue would have become saviors, ultimately becoming the rulers of the six realms, and the Demon Race would have been legitimized, surpassing the Immortal Realm and becoming the true rulers.
Following this timeline, Di Xiu wouldn't know whether he had been reborn or not; it would probably just be a matter of dying a few times.
...
...
Back to the present, Di Xiu will be injured when he leaves because Yao Yue thought that "A Qiu" was already dead and came to cause trouble.
He was always vigilant, but he was distracted when he got the immortal herb and left the desolate land. Emperor Xiu remembered that he was thinking that Yao Yue should be happier at the time, and then he was ambushed by that bastard Ming Wuqiu.
Di Xiu pinched the bridge of his nose, turned his head and saw 001 twitching, and asked, "Is it funny?"
001 turned to look at him expressionlessly and shook her head: "Not funny."
He quickly changed the subject, pointing to the herb and asking, "What should we do with this?"
That is a problem.
Since it was impossible to take it back to Yaoyue anyway, Di Xiu patted his clothes and prepared to leave.
Once he's gone, ferocious beasts will come to relieve his burdens.
The immortal herb seemed to have gained some intelligence, suddenly unfurling its leaves and curling around the hem of Emperor Xiu's robe. 001 and Emperor Xiu looked down at the same time, only to see the leaves swaying, but they didn't know what they were trying to express.
001 crouched down and looked at it: "Do you want us to take you away? If so, roll up."
The herb immediately curled up.
001 tries to scare it: "We'll eat you."
The immortal herb swayed again in a cryptic manner. Emperor Xiu pondered for a moment, and seeing that it had gained intelligence, he transmitted a wisp of divine power to it, helping it to take form.
In the flickering light, a child of about seven or eight years old appeared on the ground, dressed in a frosty white outfit, with a stern face that made one want to tease him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What should we do with him?" 001 was a little worried.
