Rong Qi paused slightly after hearing this, as if reminiscing about the past. Then he smiled with a hint of emotion: "Ah, during those decades in the human world, unknowingly, our hearts have softened a lot."
Hearing this, Lu Chenguang's lips curled up into a smile, which contained a sense of relief and resonance. "Indeed, now I understand why I have to go to the human world to gain experience. Those days, although short, made me experience many different emotions."
As Rong Qi finished speaking, a subtle, heavy atmosphere seemed to permeate the air. His gaze was profound, as if piercing the river of time, returning to the years spent together in the human world. That time, though brief and dreamlike, quietly planted a tender seed in their hearts, allowing even the high and mighty Lord of the Demon Realm, where both the heavens and demons coexisted, to feel an unprecedented warmth and connection.
Lu Chenguang smiled gently, and that smile contained nostalgia for the past and expectations for the future.
He knew that every experience in the human realm was a cleansing of the soul, allowing one to find a touch of purity and truth amidst the tumultuous complexity of the six realms. "Yes, the daily life of the human realm always allows one to forget the shackles of identity and responsibility, and experience the most pure emotions."
Rong Qi nodded, his tone firm: "As long as the King of Hell has no objection, I will naturally arrange for them to come to the heaven to recuperate."
Rong Qi continued, "However, the rules between the six realms are very strict. Even you and I cannot break them easily. Although Chuchu is a demigod, her mother is a celestial god, but she has also descended to the mortal realm for some reason. We need to handle the complex situation carefully."
Lu Chenguang's expression grew serious upon hearing this. He nodded gently, "Of course I understand. The rules of the Heavenly Realm cannot be underestimated. But Chuchu's injury can't be delayed, and her mother is extremely anxious. We have to find a solution."
Rong Qi said seriously, "I will do my best regarding Chuchu's matter. But before that, we must ensure that every step is in accordance with the rules to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to the heavenly realm. After all, the boundary between the heavenly realm and the human world is not just a spatial separation, but also a manifestation of rules and order."
Lu Chenguang nodded, a hint of worry flickering across his brow. "I understand, but Chuchu's injuries won't wait. Her mother, the former celestial god, must be extremely worried right now. We must not only consider the rules of the celestial realm, but also her feelings."
Rong Qi pondered for a moment and proposed a compromise plan: "I will immediately send an envoy to the underworld to negotiate this matter with the King of Hell. At the same time, I will order the medical officers of the heavenly realm to prepare immediately to ensure that once permission is obtained, they can act immediately. This way, we can abide by the rules and still treat Chuchu in time."
When Lu Chenguang heard this, the heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground. He looked at Rong Qi with gratitude. The simple word "thank you" contained thousands of words.
"You're welcome!" Rong Qi waved his hand and then changed the subject, "However, besides Chuchu's injury, I have something else to discuss with the Demon Lord."
Lu Chenguang listened attentively: "Go ahead."
"Although Youming is sealed within you and may not emerge for thousands of years, he will eventually come out. At the same time, the demonic energy he releases will often interfere with your feelings and judgment. In view of this, I would like to set up a barrier for the Demon Realm, preventing outsiders from entering and those from the Demon Realm from entering. Is this possible?"
Lu Chenguang frowned immediately, "Is the Heavenly Monarch going to imprison the Demon Realm?"
Rong Qi said, "Of course not. This is to protect the Demon Realm and the other five realms. But if the Demon Lord disagrees, we can discuss it another day."
Ye Xuan was listening nearby for a long time. When this matter was brought up, she rushed over and said, "Brother, no! The Heaven Realm has always been hypocritical. They talk about barriers and protection so righteously, but it's just to imprison us demons! For tens of thousands of years, we demons haven't killed anyone from the six realms!"
"It's the Netherworld that's causing trouble today, not our Demon Realm! Yet the Heavenly Monarch is actually trying to imprison our entire clan! Brother, don't listen to him! We need to leave as soon as possible!"
Seeing this, Lu Chenguang hurried to calm Ye Xuan. He knew that his sister's excitement stemmed from her concern for the family's safety. "Ye Xuan, calm down for a moment. Rong Qi Tianjun may have his own considerations for his proposal. We can't judge his intentions based on mere speculation. Besides, the matter of the Netherworld has indeed plunged our Demon Realm into an unprecedented crisis. If there really is a barrier to protect us from outside intrusion, it would not be a bad thing."
Ye Xuan's emotions calmed down a bit after hearing this, but the doubts in her heart were not completely dispelled. "But brother, do you really believe that the Heaven Realm will sincerely protect us? For tens of thousands of years, our Demon Realm has been self-sufficient and has never actively invaded any other clan. Now, we are trapped by a barrier. This is simply an insult to us!"
Seeing this, Rong Qi slowly spoke, his tone filled with understanding and sincerity, "Princess Yexuan, I understand your feelings. My original intention in proposing the establishment of the barrier was not to imprison or humiliate the demonic realm. On the contrary, out of concern for the peace of the six realms, I hope to use this barrier to prevent the demonic energy of the Netherworld from escaping again and endangering the tranquility of the entire six realms."
He paused, his eyes sweeping over Lu Chenguang and Ye Xuan before continuing, "Although Youming has been sealed, we have all witnessed the immense power he possesses. The demonic energy he releases will not only affect the Demon Lord, but may also pose a threat to the Six Realms again at some point in the future."
Ye Xuan's mood softened somewhat after hearing this, but he still looked skeptical. "But, Lord Tian, how can you guarantee that this barrier won't become a shackle that binds our demonic realm? What if the heavenly realm ever wants to harm us? Wouldn't this barrier become a perfect barrier for their attack?"
Rong Qi paused and continued, "Of course, I understand your concerns. Therefore, this barrier can be designed to be bidirectionally controllable, preventing outsiders from entering the Demon Realm when necessary, while also allowing the people of the Demon Realm to enter and exit freely when the Demon Realm is facing a crisis."
Ye Xuan's eyes flickered when she heard this, as if she was weighing Rong Qi's words.
Lu Chenguang also spoke at the right time, trying to persuade her further: "Ye Xuan, Rong Qi Tianjun's proposal is indeed worth considering. We can't make decisions based on momentary emotions. Instead, we should stand on the perspective of the entire demon world and think about how to protect our people to the greatest extent possible."
Seeing this, Ye Xuan, though still unwilling, gradually let down her guard. She gently tugged at Lu Chenguang's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I'll listen to you."
