A complex expression crossed Lu Chenguang's face, one of joy mixed with a hint of heaviness. He stared at Chuchu, his eyes filled with reluctance and determination, and said softly, "Yes, Chuchu, everything has been arranged. You only need to rest and recuperate in the heavens, and no longer worry about the outside world."
Chu Chu's brows furrowed slightly upon hearing this, a glint of intelligence gleaming in her clear, watery eyes. Though she'd lost some of her memory, her mind remained sharp. "Lu Chenguang, there's no need to hide anything between you and Rong Qi. What kind of agreement did you and Rong Qi reach? And why would the Celestial Realm show such an attitude toward a demon king? What's the real reason behind this?"
Lu Chenguang sighed softly, as if weighing his words, and finally spoke slowly: "You have forgotten that during our time in the human world, we experienced a lot together. And Rong Qi, his identity in the human world, is inextricably linked to you. His father in the human world married your mother some time ago."
His words revealed a hint of helplessness and emotion. "Although Rong Qi is the lord of the Celestial Realm, he also cherishes family affection and old friendships. He hasn't completely inherited his father Rong Yi's harshness and calculations. On the contrary, he sometimes displays a broader mind. The reason he is so tolerant of me may be because we once protected you together in the human world in different identities."
After hearing this, Chu Chu thanked him, "Thank you, Lu Chenguang. You always show up when I need you most and tell me these important truths. Rong Qi's actions were indeed beyond my expectations, but they also allowed me to see a different side of him."
She paused, a determined glint in her eyes. "However, no matter what happened in the past, I must be strong now. My strength is not only for myself, but also to protect those I love and the peace of the six realms. Even if I lose some of my memory, I will never give up."
Lu Chenguang nodded in approval.
…
Lu Chenguang trudged through the dark passageway of the demonic realm with heavy steps, his heart filled with worry and resentment about the unknown situation. He had never imagined that his temporary evacuation of the heavenly realm for Chuchu's safety would lead him into a trap carefully laid by Rong Qi. And all this, from the beginning of his "agreement" with Rong Qi, was destined to be a war without gunpowder.
Rong Qi, the new emperor of heaven, has used thundering means to stabilize the order of heaven since he took office, but he has never forgotten the revenge for his father's murder.
This hatred stems from the battle that led to the death of his father Rong Yi, and even more from the complicated grievances and hatreds between Lu Chenguang and him.
The moment Lu Chenguang returned to the Demon Realm, the Celestial Realm's actions quietly unfolded. Rong Qi stood above the clouds, clad in a magnificent golden robe, his face stern and his gaze piercing. Surrounding him were the gods of the Celestial Realm, each radiating a power that could not be underestimated.
"Activate the ancient formation and seal off the demonic realm!" Rong Qi's voice was cold and resolute, carrying an irresistible majesty. With his command, the gods of the heavens quickly dispersed, each taking their place at their designated positions. The magical instruments in their hands shone with dazzling light, echoing the distant stars in the sky.
This ancient formation is the most ancient sealing technique in the heavens, powerful enough to suppress all evil. It's said to originate from the wisdom of ancient gods, capable of harnessing the power of heaven and earth to form an impenetrable barrier. For this operation, Rong Qi painstakingly gathered countless precious materials, even employing the most precious treasures of heaven to ensure the formation's flawless perfection.
As the magical instrument activated, the entire sky seemed to tremble. Waves of immense spiritual energy surged from the bodies of the gods in the heavens, converging into a torrent that soared into the sky.
Then, complex runes slowly emerged from the void, intertwining and entwining to form mysterious patterns. These patterns swirled and rotated in the air, eventually converging into a dazzling beam of light that shot straight towards the demonic realm.
"Not good!" Lu Chenguang's face suddenly changed upon seeing this. He knew the power of this ancient formation. Once activated, the demonic realm would be completely isolated from the outside world, and free entry and exit would be impossible. He quickly mobilized the demonic energy within his body, attempting to attack the barrier with a powerful force, but the barrier was far stronger than he had imagined. No matter how hard he tried, he could only stir up faint ripples.
"Rong Qi, you are despicable and shameless! How dare you deceive me!" Lu Chenguang was furious, his voice echoing over the Demon Realm, filled with endless anger and resentment. He never imagined that his temporary concession for the safety of the six realms would lead to Rong Qi's calculations.
However, Rong Qi simply sneered, a smile that held both pride and helplessness. "Lu Chenguang, the grudge between you and me has long been destined to be irreconcilable. How could I forget my father's death? Moreover, the power of the Netherworld is stirring within you, a terrifying force capable of destroying the six realms. If I don't seal you here, once you fully master the power of the Netherworld, it will be a catastrophe for the six realms. Therefore, this isn't a personal grudge between me, but for the safety of the six realms."
Lu Chenguang's face darkened upon hearing this. He understood that Rong Qi's words were not groundless. The power of the Netherworld was indeed a ticking time bomb within him. If it got out of control, the consequences would be disastrous. But even so, he was unwilling to be imprisoned so easily by Rong Qi.
"Stop being so high-sounding! The celestial realm is truly full of hypocrites. You're exactly like your despicable father!?"
Then, Lu Chenguang roared angrily, and the demonic energy in his body boiled. He tried his best to break through the barrier again.
But this time, not only did he fail to shake the barrier at all, but he was attacked by the barrier and was seriously injured.
Rong Qi saw this, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He was not a heartless person, but facing a strong enemy like Lu Chenguang, he had to be ruthless.
