Chapter 1238: Cannot be disobeyed
She looked around the Eternal Silence Palace, which had been silent for thousands of years, with a distant gaze, as if she could penetrate the thick palace walls and see the entire Frozen Throne and even the wider sky.
"Ten thousand years of chaos, vast changes in the world." Her voice echoed in the palace, with a hint of imperceptible fatigue, but also more solemn and majestic. "Although the invasion of the Demonic Abyss has temporarily subsided, the hidden dangers still exist. Frozen Throne,"
She closed her eyes slightly, as if sensing something, the snowflake divine pattern between her eyebrows flickered, "The original source has been greatly depleted. I need to reunite the source of coldness of heaven and earth and sort out its internal laws."
Su Qingyue said in a deep voice, "It's our fault for not supervising it properly. The erosion of the Demon Abyss has already caused the Frozen Throne's icy laws to lose at least 60%, but we haven't found a way to repair it."
Su Hanling shook his head. "No wonder you guys are like this. The Demon Abyss is quietly rioting. A new Demon God is about to be born."
Hearing this, Luo Li's face changed, "You know?"
What was reflected in Su Shuangling's deep pupils was no longer pure ice, but fatigue and heaviness.
"I know." Her voice deepened, a chill in its intensity. "Before I was completely eroded by the Demonic Abyss and my consciousness sank, the throbbing from the deepest depths of the Endless Abyss had already passed through the layers of barriers of the Frozen Throne and reached the core of my godhead. It was the stirring of a newborn, far more greedy and violent than the last."
Her voice sank slightly. "It's absorbing the remains of the old demon god, the demonic energy that has been sealed and dissipated for ten thousand years, and even the polluted cold energy of the Frozen Throne as nutrients."
Luo Li frowned, "Are there fragments of the Demon God's inheritance in the sealed Demon Abyss?"
Su Hanling was a little surprised, obviously not expecting Luo Li to know so much. But when he thought about her Chaos bloodline, he felt relieved.
She nodded solemnly, "That's right. Back then, Cangwu, Dishi, and the others joined forces to defeat the Demon God. After the Demon God's death, several fragments of his godhead were scattered. There are indeed fragments of the Demon God's godhead in the Demon Abyss."
Luo Li curled her fingertips. "The fragment is in the Demon Abyss. If we want to get the fragment, we must open the Demon Abyss, but there are demon seeds in the Demon Abyss..."
Therefore, it is simply not feasible to open the Demon Abyss to obtain the fragments.
Once the Demon Abyss is opened, all the demons will come out in droves.
"So," Su Hanling looked at Luo Li, his voice filled with unquestionable firmness, "The Devil God's resurrection cannot be disobeyed."
Luo Li sneered, "You mean to say that the fragments I hold in my hands now can't prevent the birth of a new demon god?"
"That's right," Su Hanling said in a deep voice, "This is the irreversible law of heaven. The devil will definitely be born again."
The atmosphere in the hall, which had just been relaxed due to the melting of the ice, instantly froze, and an atmosphere even heavier than before weighed down.
"Can't disobey?" Luo Li's sneer was particularly harsh in the silence. "Ice God, you've been eroded for ten thousand years, and now that you've been resurrected, you're telling me that everything is over and I'm just waiting to die?!"
Faced with the logical questioning, Su Shuangling's expression did not show much change.
In those deep ice-blue eyes, what was deposited was the vicissitudes and heaviness of seeing through the operation of the laws over thousands of years, rather than fear.
"Anger cannot change the laws." Her voice remained cold, yet it carried a penetrating power that pierced through the clamor. "The demon god is the product of the negativity of chaos and endless evil thoughts."
"As long as evil remains in this world, the Demonic Abyss will be an inexhaustible source, and the seeds of the Demon God will exist forever. Destroying the old merely makes room for the new. This is the cycle of nature, and it is also the fate that this world cannot escape."
Her gaze swept across the crowd with different expressions, and finally landed on Luo Li's clenched fist, where there seemed to be a chaotic aura flowing between her fingers.
"I'm not saying everything is over." Su Shuangling changed the subject, a cold glint flashing in his icy blue eyes. "What cannot be denied is the inevitable rebirth of the Demon God. But when this will come, in what form, and how strong it will be are not certain!"
Her words were like a cold star that suddenly lit up in the darkness.
"The fragments of the godhead are scattered. Although there are core fragments in the Demon Abyss, the source of the Demon God's power also exists elsewhere in the world, just like what Luo Li holds in her hand."
Su Shuangling's gaze locked onto Luo Li, "These fragments are the key."
Luo Li's heart moved, and the heavy feeling was instantly replaced by a strong desire to explore: "You mean..."
"Preventing the Demon God from being reborn is wishful thinking." Su Shuangling's voice was firm and decisive, "But what we can do is interfere with its rebirth."
She raised her hand, pure ice-blue divine light lingering on her fingertips, outlining several tracks in the void, faintly pointing to Luo Li.
"The Demon God's rebirth requires the gathering of his scattered divine nature and source power. If we can control or purify these scattered powers to the greatest extent possible before he fully forms and regains consciousness, we can greatly weaken him."
Luo Li narrowed her eyes. "You mean, we can't stop the Demon God from resurrecting, but we can weaken his power through the fragments?"
"That's right," Su Hanling said, "but the impact of this method is really limited. What you have now is more than enough. There's no need to waste time looking for other fragments."
She looked at Luo Li, "Your power of chaos is the best thing to purify the fragments."
Luo Li raised an eyebrow, "The fragments are now sealed in the Chaos Jade."
Su Hanling chuckled, "I know what you're thinking. You don't need to cultivate it all the time. You just need to wrap the fragments with the origin of chaos."
The chaotic aura at Luo Li's fingertips stagnated slightly. She looked at Su Shuangling with inquiry in her eyes: "Just need a package?"
"The power of chaos is pure and clear, yet it can contain everything," Su Shuangling explained. "Using it to wrap the fragment will not only isolate it from the Demonic Abyss' core, preventing it from being summoned by the new Demon God, but will also slowly neutralize the murderous aura within the fragment. Once the new Demon God takes shape, the power he can draw from the fragment will be greatly reduced."
She paused, then added, "Furthermore, the long-term contact between the Chaos Origin and the Demon God fragments will also benefit you. The neutralized vicious energy, transformed by the power of Chaos, will become pure energy, helping to consolidate the foundation of your cultivation."
Di Xuanming tightened his grip on Luo Li's hand slightly, and looked at Su Shuangling with his heterochromatic eyes: "Is this method harmful to her?"
Su Shuangling's icy blue eyes swept over the two people's clasped hands, and she said lightly: "The power of chaos can restrain the devil. Luo Li's soul is integrated with the origin of chaos. As long as she has a firm will, she will be fine. On the contrary, you..."
She looked at Di Xuanming, "There's demonic energy in your bloodline, the power that belongs to your father. I imagine your father was once injured by a demon. Now there's a faint resonance with the Demonic Abyss. You need to sort it out quickly, or you won't be sensed by the new demon god and become a breach."
Emperor Xuanming nodded: "I understand."
Xuan Ye stroked his chin and interrupted, "So, the most urgent task is for Luo Li to stabilize the fragments in her hands, while you, the Ice God, repair the Frozen Throne as soon as possible?"
"That's right." Su Shuangling nodded and looked outside the palace. "The Frozen Throne is the first barrier to suppress the Demon Abyss. Its origin is stable, so it can buy us more time. Qingyue,"
She looked at Su Qingyue and said, "Pass my order to summon all the elders of the Frozen Throne to meet in the Hanyuan Palace in three days to discuss the matter of reuniting the source of coldness in heaven and earth."
Su Qingyue immediately bowed and accepted the order: "Yes, clan leader!"
Sun Devourer said in a deep voice, "Moon Devourer and I will stay at the Frozen Throne to help sort out the laws."
Luo Li had no objection. Now that the continent was stable, they would naturally be placed wherever they could be most useful.
Su Shuangling glanced at them and nodded in agreement: "Thank you."
Luo Li's heart moved slightly, and she looked at Su Shuangling: "That Soul Condensing Abyss..."
"The seal of the Soul Condensing Abyss is still stable," Su Shuangling said, "Your mother's soul is safe within it. Once I have dealt with the matter of the Frozen Throne, I will personally go to the Soul Condensing Abyss to help stabilize her soul. You can go with me then."
A hint of warmth flashed in Emperor Xuanming's eyes: "Thank you, Ice God."
Su Shuangling waved her hand, lightly tapping her bare foot on the ice platform. The icy blue divine light around her receded, leaving only a thin halo shrouding her. "My divine body hasn't fully adapted yet. I need to retreat for a day to sort out the chaotic power within me. The Qinghan Palace near the Yongji Palace is now vacant. You can rest for a while."
After saying that, she turned and walked towards the stone door covered with ice patterns at the back of the hall. Her long ice-blue hair brushed across the divine armor like flowing water, leaving a faint trail of light.
The ice door slowly closed behind her, blocking everyone's view.
The heavy atmosphere in the hall dissipated a lot with Su Shuangling's departure.
Su Qingyue let out a long sigh, and her tense nerves finally relaxed.
She walked up to Luo Li and bowed deeply: "Miss Luo Li, I was rude to you earlier. Thank you for saving the ancestor."
Luo Li simply said, "Saint Lady, you are too kind. I am also concerned about the overall situation. Now that Bulicheng and the Su family have established a cooperative relationship, there is no need to mention the past."
Xuan Ye stretched lazily, the shattered ice crystals beneath his feet turning into dust as he moved. "Alright, alright, the Ice God has resurrected, which is surprising. We don't have anything to do here for now. Little girl, why don't you invite us to your Qinghan Palace for a cup of hot tea?"
Su Qingyue glanced at him, her tone calm but no longer cold: "There is only ice in the Frozen Throne, no hot tea."
Xuan Ye tutted his words, "How boring."
Moon Tun whispered, "Sun Devourer and I will go inspect the formation of the Frozen Throne first, to prevent any evil spirits from escaping and causing trouble."
He exchanged a glance with Sun-Devouring, then turned and left the Palace of Eternal Silence.
"Wait for me." Xuan Ye waved his hand and followed.
Su Qingyue also said, "I need to go and arrange the elders' meeting immediately, so I'll take my leave first. You two can go to Qinghan Hall and rest for a while."
In the blink of an eye, only Luo Li and Di Xuanming were left in the hall.
Di Xuanming held Luo Li's hand tightly, rubbing his fingertips against her slightly cold fingertips: "Are you tired?"
Luo Li shook her head, leaned on his shoulder, and looked at the ice-blue skylight coming in from outside the hall: "Not bad."
Di Xuanming's voice was low and steady. "Go to Qinghan Palace and rest first. We can discuss the rest tomorrow."
Luo Li nodded and let him lead her out.
Even if there are storms ahead, as long as we are together, we will have nothing to fear.
