“Yun Che, you're finally here. I've been waiting for you all this time. ”
The voice of the Ice Phoenix girl was as gentle as water, as thin as a dream.
He had sensed Jie Yuan's aura the instant he returned and this eruption of red calamity was even earlier than he had expected.
But after that, the aura of Primal Chaos was surprisingly calm, and today Yun Che finally returned. The fact that he was safe and sound was already a great consolation to him.
Yun Che took a step forward, with a faint smile on his face as he said, “Mn, I've returned. You must have been really worried during this period of time. ”
“It looks like a piece of wonderful news has accompanied you here too.” After she felt Yun Che's mood, the Ice Phoenix girl's voice grew softer.
“Ya!” Yun Che nodded heavily before he told her everything that happened after Jie Yuan's return in great detail … This continued until he reached the passage about the return of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor to the outside of the Primal Chaos and his plan to forever destroy the passageway connecting the Primal Chaos with the void outside of it.
The bottom of the Heavenly Lake sank into a long silence and the long and emotional sighing sound of the Ice Phoenix girl rang after that.
“Heretic God is the most generous and extraordinary divine being in the god race. He belonged to the highest existence in the universe, yet he gave up his own life to abandon the hope of salvation for the future. And as for the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, he was so outstanding and noble that people could only gasp in admiration. ”
“It is not surprising that the Heretic God, as one of the Creator Gods of the time, would have completely surrendered himself to him completely.”
“Only future generations will never realize that the peaceful world they live in is actually bestowed upon them by husbands and wives that they cannot accept. If the gods and demons are really watching from the afterlife, I wonder what they think. ”
“It's not just them, you too,” Yun Che said sincerely. “If you do not cling to existence because of your love for all creation and give me the most important guidance, we may not get the results we have today.”
“Compared to Heretic God and his wife, the price I paid could be said to be very small. But it was you .. who directly faced the Demon Emperor who returned as a human and finally resolved this crisis. You deserve all the glory and praise in this universe. You deserve to be praised and heralded by the universe for all generations to come. ”
“Eh ..” This is something Yun Che absolutely cannot accept. Because from start to finish, he always felt that his efforts were completely unequal to the results that had been produced.
“Thus, my worries and attachments have ended and my wishes have been fulfilled. I can finally leave in peace. ”
He actually said those words in a gentle and warm manner, there was not the slightest bit of reluctance or hesitation in them.
Yun Che raised his head, a complicated look in his eyes. He sighed as he said, “Should this really end like this?”
“There is no need for you to ask me to stay and even no one needs to feel sad on my behalf,” Ice Phoenix girl said gently. “I was someone who shouldn't even exist in this era from the beginning, and that was only because I couldn't let go of the worries and attachments I had until now. Today, I have obtained the most perfect result, so there is no longer any reason for me to be worried, no more reason for me to remain. ”
“Please .. treat the daughter of the Heretic God and Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor well. Consider this as my last request. ”
“Alright!” Yun Che nodded his head as he slowly said every word, “As long as I live, I will never let them suffer any persecution.”
Ding .. Ping!
At this moment, cracks began to rapidly spread on the surface of the ice crystal that enveloped the Ice Phoenix girl. After it shattered and released its body, a body that seemed to have been carved out of jade, and that strength and vitality had been sealed with all of its strength.
A cluster of blue light spread out from the bottom of the Heavenly Lake and reached all the way to the surface.
The thickest beam of light swallowed Yun Che's body.
“To be able to give my last strength to you is the best resting place for the rest of my life and soul.”
Every inch of ice flesh and jade bones he could see was extremely beautiful and perfect, but it did not cause the slightest hint of lust in Yun Che's heart. Because he knew that after destroying this ice crystal, the last remaining god beast in the universe would also disappear.
Clang–
After a moment of silence, all of the icy blue auroras suddenly turned into countless blue stars that quickly flew towards Yun Che. As these stars came into contact with his body, they soundlessly melted into his body.
The world in front of Yun Che instantly turned into an ice-cold blue. This ice-cold blue color continued to grow deeper and deeper, until he was unable to clearly see the figure of the Ice Phoenix girl. He closed his eyes and secretly received the final gift given to him by the Ice Phoenix girl.
One day…
Two days…
Three days…
By the time Yun Che quietly opened his eyes, the world before him was no longer filled with those icy-cold blue auroras or those blue stars. He only saw the water of the Heavenly Lake, the water that was still freezing with extreme cold.
Now there was a blue-colored star resting within his profound vein.
The figure of the Ice Phoenix girl was now becoming like mist, but there was still a shallow smile on her face that was unusually beautiful. “Yun Che, your strength and your profound veins are incredible. If any other living being can fully absorb the last part of my Ice Phoenix power, it will increase them to the Divine Master level. But in your case and your own case, perhaps becoming a Divine Sovereign was already the limit. ”
“For me, this is already an oversized gift,” Yun Che said gratefully. “I will fully absorb this power as soon as possible. I will definitely not waste what you gave me. I will also forever remember your existence and all that you have done for this universe in the name of other creations.”
The Ice Phoenix girl smiled slightly as her body continued to grow increasingly misty.
“There is one more thing I wish you could tell me,” Yun Che said. He did not forget the words that the Ice Phoenix girl said to him back then.
The Ice Phoenix girl was silent for a moment before she said, “I'll say this one more time. For you to know the truth about this will not benefit you at all. Instead, it can even damage you emotionally to some extent. But if you stay unconscious, you'll be fine for the rest of your life. So, even if it's like this, do you still have to know? ”
Yun Che nodded without any hesitation at all. “I want to know.”
“Good.” Since Yun Che wanted to hear the truth, the Ice Phoenix girl did not hesitate anymore. Instead, he began to speak in an unhurried manner, “I said last time that the reason why your Master was able to become the first Divine Master in the history of the Snow Song Realm and the reason behind the recent increase in his strength was because of the Divine Soul Ice Phoenix that I give it to him a long time ago. ”
Yun Che nodded small.
Yun Che was stunned by the news, his brows furrowed slightly in response. After which, he suddenly realized something and his heart was pounding fiercely in his chest. “Could you really ... interfere with his will at certain times over the past few years?”
The Ice Phoenix girl replied, “In the past, I did indeed only interrupt on certain occasions. But he's been under my mental breakdown ever since you arrived at the Snow Song Realm, and it hasn't stopped. ”
Yun Che's pupils slightly widened and an extreme feeling of uneasiness was suddenly born in his heart. “So, how exactly did you .. interfere with his will? In what way exactly? ”
Although she was a little surprised by Yun Che's reaction, the Ice Phoenix girl continued, “The first time you stepped into the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake seven years ago, she said, I sense your existence and I can sense that you have inherited the power of the Heretic God.”
“After that, you sank to the bottom of the Heavenly Lake and met me. I read your memories and as a result, I discovered many shocking truths and I also saw great hope. ”
Yun Che silently listened to her words, but his hands involuntarily clenched as the unease in his heart continued to grow.
“Only I can't leave the Heavenly Lake, so I can't protect you or guide your growth. As a result, I chose Mu Xuanyin .. When you left the Heavenly Lake, I used the Divine Soul Ice Phoenix in his body as a medium to carve out a trace in his soul, a trail that makes it ‘prioritizes you above everything’. ”
BUZZ–
It was as if something had suddenly exploded within Yun Che's mind.
“Heh, heh heh ..” He started laughing but his laughter was very cold and gloomy. “So you said that ... All the good things Master did for me were not done of his own free will. It was just ... because of your mental disorder .. Heh ... What kind of joke is this ... Are you kidding me !? ”
His hands were trembling and the insides of his body were turning cold .. He had never heard of such an absurd thing before! How could there be something so absurd in this world !?
His thoughts and emotions became so chaotic, so chaotic that even he found it hard to believe. His vision even began to be slightly blurry .. However, all of his memories of Mu Xuanyin were very clear at this moment. Every scene, every view, every word …
Also .... like the countless doubts and suspicions that had appeared in his heart before.
Doubt and suspicion as to why Mu Xuanyin treated him so well …
When he first arrived at the Snow Song Realm back then, Mu Xuanyin was the Snow Song Realm King and the first Divine Master in its history. He had unparalleled status and prestige and he had authority over the lives and deaths of countless living beings. He stood at the highest level even when compared to the other God Realms.
Meanwhile, Yun Che was a lowly junior of the lower realms whose cultivation had not even stepped onto the divine path yet, someone that even the disciples at the bottom rungs of the Divine Ice Phoenix Sect would not even glance at… The only thing about him that could even be considered special was that he had been brought to the Snow Song Realm by Mu Bingyun and he was the one who had saved his life.
In every aspect, the distance between him and Mu Xuanyin was like the difference between heaven and earth.
Moreover, before Yun Che had even met Mu Xuanyin, he had heard countless times that the Snow Song Realm King was an extremely cold and heartless person. He would never show warmth or mercy. The entire Divine Ice Phoenix Sect and even everyone in the Snow Song Realm feared him far more than they respected him.
But, for him and himself …
Yun Che could rationalize Mu Xuanyin taking it as his disciple because her control over ice energy far exceeded all the other disciples, so he felt like it was only natural that she became his disciple. But everything that happened after that .. everything …
Time and time again, she was so kind to him that she practically felt it was all just an illusion.
This rang especially true whenever he interacted with Mu Bingyun. It was obvious that even he was extremely shocked, or perhaps it was better to say that he was really surprised that Mu Xuanyin would treat him well.
That's right .. why …
A junior practitioner from the lower realms caused him, a Divine Master and a Realm King, to act in such a way?
He had never craved the Heretic God's power and even helped her hide it with all her strength … He had allowed him to freely use the Heavenly Netherfrost Lake that even the elders and palace chiefs would be lucky to touch once every century … He helped him deceive Huo Rulie into taking the Golden Crow Record of the Burning World.The great sin and offense had actually been wiped clean after one rebuke, he had ignored the sect and focused only on him for two whole years.He angrily reprimanded the Sword Sovereign … quietly followed him to the Ice Wind Empire, and then to the Eternal Heaven Realm…
He had even saved her and came face to face with Gu Zhu, and he had completely disregarded the safety of the entire Snow Song Realm in doing so.
Why exactly …
As it turns out, all these things actually only happen because of the mental disorders of others. It was not because of his own desire at all!
All the suspicion, astonishment, and doubt over the past few years has completely disappeared. As expected, no good thing is done without reason or goodness that arises out of nowhere.
From the start, all the good things he had done for her, all the sacrifices he had made for her, and even that shaky fuzzy feeling staggered across the forbidden border … From start to finish, it had not been Mu Xuanyin but the will of the Ice Phoenix divine being!
But why does this answer feel so absurd and cruel?
The scene where she hugged him and gently whispered the words “Xuanyin” into his ears was still fresh in his mind. The way his heart stirred at that moment had been indelibly carved into his soul.
But…
“Your worries about this matter have exceeded my expectations,” Ice Phoenix girl said in a soft voice. “I hope you can accept this problem as soon as possible.”
The intensity of Yun Che's reaction had made him start to regret telling him this truth.
Yun Che's hands clenched tightly and they tightened again after that. He was unable to describe how he felt at this moment .. It was as if an important part of his soul had suddenly turned into an illusion and scattered, forming an extremely painful, and perhaps irreparable, void, in heart.
“Keep it.” He opened his mouth but only those two short but extremely stiff words came out of his mouth.
“...” Ice Phoenix girl is speechless. He understood what Yun Che meant, and he was surprised that he would even say those two words. Only after a long period of time had passed did he begin to speak in a soft and gentle voice, “If I eliminate my mental disorder, by his own will, will, he'll never treat you the same way again. Moreover, given everything that has happened between the two of you, it is highly likely that he will develop an intense hatred and antagonism towards you. ”
“I think you understand that.”
He had always used the Divine Soul Ice Phoenix within Mu Xuanyin to observe the outside world, so he had clearly seen everything that happened between Mu Xuanyin and Yun Che.
