Chapter 1808: Chapter 1346: Epilogue (2)
"No hidden injuries, good."
Obviously, the Red Emperor also heard from Ling Xiao and others that Su Yuan had taken a strike from an Emperor-level being of the Otherworld.
With the battle now over, everyone is both physically and mentally exhausted, and whatever needs to be said can wait.
"Royal Envoy Su, Lingxiao Master, should the chance arise in Qiguang, let us spar and exchange ideas." Reinhardt said with a smile, with Alpha and David nodding beside him.
Lael and Raymond also said, "Su Yuan, the Five Great Families always welcome your visit."
Afterward, the people of Qiguang, led by Alex, began returning.
The cultivators from Taishang Sect, Demon Sky Palace, and other Southern Continent sects also prepared to depart.
Mu Kexian stepped before Emperor Xuan, bowed, and straightforwardly declared that he would not return to the sect.
Emperor Xuan was a bit stunned, as Ye Xiaose quickly conveyed the matter between Mu Kexian and Su Yuan.
"So this is how Supreme Forget Emotion is practiced?" Emperor Xuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Su Yuan and the two Emperors of Great Flame, then, with a headache, waved to Mu Kexian, "Fine, as long as you don’t betray the sect, I won’t interfere!"
"Thank you, Emperor Xuan."
Mu Kexian responded with only a word and left without looking back.
And Emperor Xuan rubbed his brow, waved his sleeve to unfold Sleeve of the Universe, and vanished with Ye Xiaose and others.
At the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, Su Yuan paid a visit to Emperor Ye, naturally expressing thanks to the elder.
However, Emperor Ye also thanked Su Yuan for caring for those of the Divine Sect and openly admired Su Yuan.
"When it comes to slaying demons and exterminating devils, what’s there to thank for?" Ye Feihong laughed and patted Su Yuan’s shoulder, his eyes full of admiration and fondness, "Remember, you’re still our Guest Elder at the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect!"
After parting from Emperor Ye, Su Yuan and Long then met with Chess Emperor Fang Zhi of Yixian Dao.
"I wished to invite you to visit my Yixian Dao last time, but you weren’t inclined to." Fang Zhi stepped forward, close to Su Yuan, softly laughing, her eyes moist and gentle, with a trace of grievance.
Although the Red Emperor and Green Emperor were backing him, Su Yuan felt pressured by Chess Emperor’s words, especially given her imposing presence.
Su Yuan hurriedly retreated two steps, coughed twice, and did not dare reply, instead praising:
"It turns out, Chess Emperor had plans arranged for thousands of years, I am impressed."
Chess Emperor’s lips curved slightly, "I only did what little I could. Successfully destroying the Grey Realm’s demon horde and intercepting Outer Heaven’s monks and Buddhas was mainly thanks to you, my young friend~"
Su Yuan humbly claimed the words were too much, feeling he could hardly respond.
Fortunately, Long stepped forward solemnly, cupping his hands, "Thank you, Chess Emperor, only then could I see Bing Tong again."
Chess Emperor saw Long and immediately became reserved, shaking her head slightly, "I should thank you; without your willingness to agree to my plans back then, I might never have found a better solution to break the situation."
The two reunited after a millennium, exchanged a few more words, and Long apologized before happily going to Bing Tong.
Though the two didn’t say much, Su Yuan roughly understood the situation.
Originally, after Long and the Ice Emperor "made essence," they sought treasures of ice and time in the Blue Sea and surrounding worlds, only to be unexpectedly gravely injured.
Later, at the brink of death, Chess Emperor found Long in a nearby world, and after a conversation, Long followed Chess Emperor’s plan for his descendants’ future, committed self-sacrifice, and was reborn in the Grey Realm...
Su Yuan suddenly recalled something, then said gravely, "Chess Emperor, now that the Chaotic Star Domain is shattered, what about Senior Long..."
Chess Emperor sighed lightly, "His Divine Power comes from the Grey Realm’s Emperor-level’s transformation using the Sky-reaching Divine Tree. Now without the Sky-reaching Divine Tree, his Star Core has lost its source of Strength, and will likely dissipate and dry up soon, along with his life."
"So it’s true." Su Yuan’s expression turned stern, watching Long near Luo Bingtong, unwilling to step away, "Is that why he cherishes time with Bing Tong so much now... Chess Emperor, is there really no way to remedy it?"
Chess Emperor crossed her arms, lowered her head in thought, "This Star Core issue, severely as it deteriorates, is as dire as Origin depletion; even preserving life won’t last long."
Su Yuan’s gaze dimmed slightly. Long had endured countless hardships, lurking in the Grey Realm for years. Now, barely able to reunite with his daughter, leaving quickly would be too regrettable...
Moreover, Bing Tong didn’t seem to reject this "father from heaven."
"However..." Chess Emperor then shifted her tone, her gaze returning to Su Yuan, "Perhaps there will be a way forward when the time comes."
Su Yuan’s eyes flickered, sensing a possibility.
The Eight Divine Generals were transformed relying on the energy of the Sky-reaching Divine Tree; now, Glazed Tianqing had drained the Sky-reaching Divine Tree.
Although Glazed Tianqing cannot inherit its Strength, as a Divine Tree bearing the Life Path, it may hold a method helpful to Long.
Su Yuan pondered the possibility and wanted to ask again, but Chess Emperor had already said, "Then farewell for now; when you have the time, come to my Yixian Dao for tea and chess, young friend~"
Chess Emperor smiled warmly, then stood on a massive floating chess piece with Zhan Tianyi and others. As starlight twinkled, they vanished.
One by one, people departed, and soon only the Great Flame group remained.
Su Yuan and his companions glanced back at the void above the Snow Burial Mountain Range.
Chaotic Star Domain Tree Heart City, the decisive site affecting Blue Sea’s Destiny, destined to be recorded in history, now faded like an illusory bubble above the Snow Burial Mountain Range.
Then, Su Yuan and the others prepared to leave.
Just then, the Red Emperor suddenly spoke, "No rush, someone is coming."
"Oh?"
Su Yuan and the others moved their gaze along with the Red Emperor’s toward the distance.
Soon, from the Sky Edge, a rushing blue Water Light emerged, transforming into a man with blue curls and fair skin—the Turbulent Emperor of Grey Realm.
Seeing him, the Red Emperor sneered, "What? This time you only dare to send a Clone!"
Turbulent Emperor’s expression was extremely gloomy; this Chaotic Star Domain battle was truly a loss of troops and generals, a complete defeat!
He never expected that after breaking through to Emperor-level, Gui was still slain by the Blue Sea Kings.
Failing in invasion, retreating defeated, as one of the commanders, after returning to the Holy Realm, he feared judgment from the Four Courts.
More importantly, the Conservative Faction would surely seize the opportunity to make trouble!
Yet before leaving, he had to retrieve the Four Source Holy Beads!
Turbulent Emperor muttered, "I have come to retrieve the Four Source Holy Beads."
If not for the Red Emperor and Green Emperor being present, Turbulent Emperor could easily take the beads from Su Yuan despite the distance, leaving Su Yuan helpless.
But now, with the two Emperors by Su Yuan’s side, Turbulent Emperor could not seize the beads easily and had to appear in person.
Realizing a price needed to be paid, Turbulent Emperor’s face darkened as he opened his palm, letting Water Light flow; ten strands of purple smoke about a foot long appeared in his hand.
Su Yuan, Ling Xiao, Fang Qingxiao... everyone’s pupils trembled when seeing this item, seemingly enraptured!
Everyone felt from it the sight of world creation, the evolution of all things, the cycle of life and death, and cause and effect... they saw the profound rules and mysteries of the universe.
If they had never seen this Purple Qi, it would have been fine, but now upon seeing it, their bodies instinctively desired it with an irresistible craving!
Green Emperor was slightly surprised, "Oh? Even bringing out the Hongmeng Dao Rhyme~"
The Red Emperor’s eyes flickered momentarily as he glanced, then retracted his gaze, "Too little."
’So this is called ’Hongmeng Dao Rhyme?’
Everyone returned to their senses, thinking silently.
And Su Yuan, gazing at the Hongmeng Dao Rhyme, remained silent, allowing the Red Emperor to negotiate.
Firstly, Su Yuan knew the item named "Hongmeng Dao Rhyme" was undoubtedly valuable.
Secondly, he trusted the Red Emperor would ensure he wouldn’t suffer any loss!
