# Chapter 1259: The One Who Deserves to Die
Cai Zhi walked out of the Celestial Wolf God Temple, and the tears she had been holding back for so long finally fell. She was full of grievances, but compared to her own grievances, she was even more unwilling to argue and make Mo Li even angrier.
She reached out a hand to wipe away her tears, leaving two long wet streaks on her snow-white cheeks. Then she saw the Heavenly Poison Star God Yu Luo and the Heavenly Demon Star God Qiang Wei falling from the sky... obviously just returning from the Zhou Tian Realm.
"Oh?" With the eyesight of Star Gods, even though they were still far apart, the two could clearly see Cai Zhi's full-face grievance and tear traces. Yu Luo's seductive eyes turned, and she said with a smile, "Oh!? What happened to the little princess? Who has such audacity to actually make the little princess cry? This servant feels so heartbroken seeing this."
The Heavenly Demon Star God Qiang Wei, however, showed no trace of doubt on her face... Given Cai Zhi's personality, it was already good enough if she didn't bully others. The only one who could make her so full of grievance was the Heavenly Slaughter Star God Mo Li.
Cai Zhi somewhat flusteredly wiped away the tear marks on her face, her gaze sweeping over Qiang Wei and then fixing straight on Yu Luo. She pointed a finger and said angrily, "Yu Luo! Come fight me in the Star Dust Hall! Right now!!"
"Aiya?" Yu Luo narrowed her eyes: "Little princess, even if you've been wronged, you can't take it out on this servant. If this servant accidentally loses control and hurts the little princess, then the crime would be great."
"Hmph! This is this princess's order, how dare you disobey!" Cai Zhi's eyebrows slanted, her aura suddenly rising, as if she would start fighting right there if Yu Luo didn't agree.
Yu Luo shrank her neck slightly, looking scared, and then pitifully said to the Heavenly Demon Star God: "Qiang Wei, how about you accompany the little princess for a bit? This servant really doesn't dare."
The Heavenly Demon Star God turned coldly: "Since Princess Cai Zhi has the interest, you should obey the order and accompany her."
After saying that, the Heavenly Demon Star God flew away directly and disappeared in an instant.
"Sigh, men really are all fickle creatures." Yu Luo muttered resentfully: "Alright, alright, this servant naturally doesn't dare to disobey the little princess's order. Then I'll play with the little princess for a while."
Yu Luo's fingers curled, and a faint green light flickered between them: "Speaking of which, this servant is also very curious about how much the little princess has grown by now... This is something all the royal realms care about."
After waiting for about half an hour, under Xing Ling's guidance, Yun Che arrived before Xing Shendi and the accompanying Star Gods.
For this Profound God Convention, Xing Shendi had brought four Star Gods with him. Tian Du and Tian Yao had already returned to the Star God Realm first. The other two Star Gods were...
The one on the left, short in stature and looking skinny, was actually the strongest in physical strength among the twelve Star Gods, the Heavenly Firmament Star God Shen Hu!
The one on the right, a gentle-looking old man, was the Heavenly Origin Star God Tu Mi. It was said his lifespan had exceeded forty thousand years, making him the wise advisor of the Star God Realm and the teacher of emperors, as well as the person most respected by Xing Shendi. The fact that Xing Juekong, then the Heavenly Kui Star God, became the Emperor of Star Gods had a lot to do with him as well.
During this Profound God Convention, everyone could see that the Heavenly Origin Star God sat on equal footing with Xing Shendi in the spectator seats.
"Yun Che, a junior of the Yin Xue Realm, pays respects to Xing Shendi, Senior Heavenly Origin, and Senior Heavenly Firmament."
Yun Che performed the ritual, his posture very respectful. Not because they were the Star God Emperor and Star Gods, but... one was Mo Li's biological father, and the other was Mo Li's master before she became a Star God.
Although Yun Che was just a junior of humble origin, the gazes of the Star Gods and Star Guards lingered on him for a long time, without any hint of looking down on a lower-class person... because Yun Che was someone who had truly shaken the world at the Profound God Convention.
His choice of the Star God Realm could even be said to have given them a considerable amount of face... after all, even Zhou Tian, Fan Di, and Dragon God had been turned away by him.
"Hehe, no need to be so formal." Xing Shendi smiled and raised his hand: "Yun Che, I, the Star God Emperor, rarely invite outsiders into the realm. Among those from mid-level star realms, you are the first in nearly a thousand years. However, you can also be called the most important honored guest in these years."
Yun Che quickly said: "This junior is terrified, I dare not accept such praise."
At this moment, he could see Xing Shendi before him up close.
As one of the Four Divine Emperors of the Eastern Divine Region, Xing Shendi's appearance naturally carried authority without anger, but he didn't have an overly oppressive aura. His eyes were especially calm like still water, without the sharpness that could pierce through one's heart and soul at a glance.
His hair color was the most common jet-black, not the crimson red like Mo Li's.
"He is my birth father, and also the person I hate the most. One of the reasons I don't want to go back is that I don't want to see that face that makes me hate and loathe him!"
"..." Mo Li's words from back then rang in Yun Che's mind, making his mood become quite complicated for a moment.
The word "father" was extremely sacred in his world. Whether it was his biological father Yun Qinghong or his adoptive father Xiao Ying, both were people he was very grateful for and respected deeply. But in Mo Li's world, the word "father" seemed to be entwined with an inescapable nightmare. She rarely mentioned it, and whenever she did, it came with resentment... and very deep resentment.
"Hehe, if you are truly the 'Child of Heaven's Dao,' then you are an honored guest anywhere!" The Heavenly Origin Star God was still looking Yun Che up and down, saying with a chuckle.
His demeanor, gaze, and voice were all extremely gentle. Anyone who saw him would be sure that he was an old man who had seen through the vicissitudes of life, never imagining that he could be one of the Star Gods.
Xing Shendi said: "The Star God Realm and the Zhou Tian Realm are far apart, but through the dimensional profound arrays connecting the four king realms, we can arrive in an instant. If you have no other important matters, follow us and we'll set off immediately."
Yun Che immediately replied: "Everything will be arranged as Xing Shendi sees fit."
A profound practitioner less than half a Jiazi old, learning from a mid-level star realm, facing a figure as towering as Xing Shendi, would undoubtedly be extremely terrified. But Yun Che was filled with eagerness... even the trace of unease he had was completely swallowed by his urgency to see Mo Li.
Xing Shendi's gaze swept over Yun Che, his brow twitching imperceptibly. He stood up and said: "Let's go. Xing Ling, Yun Che is an honored guest of our realm. You must stay by his side at all times to protect him, without any mistake."
"Yes!" Xing Ling solemnly accepted the order.
Star God Realm, Star Dust Hall.
This place was empty, with no end in sight, only countless twinkling star dots, seeming like an endless space.
And in this strange space, a terrifyingly fierce battle was unfolding.
Cai Zhi's entire body radiated astonishing ferocity. In her hand was a giant pale blue sword twice the size of her body. The blade had no edge and no tip, appearing like steel and yet like glass, sometimes dazzling pale blue, sometimes dark and lusterless.
The Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword!
Crack!!!
With the swing of the Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword, space was brutally torn apart. A torrent of immense power poured down like a galaxy, and in an instant, hundreds of miles of space were completely transformed into a world of destruction. Space shattered, all things perished, and even the laws were twisted and collapsing.
This was the power of the Celestial Wolf Star God, the highest level of power in the Eastern Divine Region, enough to bury the heavens and destroy the world.
But beneath such power, there always existed a small emerald-green world. No matter how the Celestial Wolf's power destroyed heaven and earth, it could never annihilate this small world. And at that moment, dozens of profound lights suddenly released from the emerald-green small world, transforming into strange vine-like shapes, piercing through the Celestial Wolf's power layer by layer.
Crunch!!
Cai Zhi's protective domain was pierced in an instant, and an extremely unpleasant sensation stabbed straight into her heart and soul.
Bang!
A loud explosion, a huge spatial vortex burst open. Cai Zhi's whole body shook violently, barely managing to avoid injury, but the Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword in her hand flew out. An emerald-green vine suddenly extended from a spatial crevice, wrapping around the Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword, and in an instant, completely suppressed the power on the sacred sword.
Cai Zhi descended from the air, her chest heaving violently. Her power was still too immature after all. In her fight with Yu Luo, merely maintaining not being suppressed was already quite difficult. To injure her within a hundred breaths was far too difficult, far too difficult.
Yu Luo waved her arm, and the Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword slowly drifted down before her. She said with a smile: "Truly worthy of being the little princess. You've improved so much more than last time. If our king knew, he would surely be very pleased."
Cai Zhi's hands clenched tightly, her breathing gradually becoming heavier.
"However, compared to His Highness Xi Su, the little princess is still far behind." Yu Luo said slowly: "Although, in terms of compatibility, the little princess surpasses His Highness Xi Su, the 'core' of the Celestial Wolf Divine Power is quite 'incompatible' with the little princess."
"Resentment..." Yu Luo's seductive eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of her mouth holding a half-smile: "Back then, His Highness Xi Su single-handedly charged into the Moon God Realm, killing twenty Divine Sovereigns, three Divine Envoys, and severely wounding two great Moon Gods. What a world-shaking achievement."
"In terms of overall strength, the Star Gods and Moon Gods are similar. His Highness Xi Su was only slightly stronger than those two Moon Gods, so why was he able to severely wound them when they fought together? It was because of 'resentment'!"
"During the era of the gods, the 'Celestial Wolf Star God' had his divine power sealed and was imprisoned in a hell-like cage for over a hundred thousand years. Because of extreme resentment, his divine power was reborn, ultimately breaking through the prison, and the Celestial Wolf Prison God Scripture was born from this. So you see, the heavier the resentment, the greater the Celestial Wolf's divine power."
"But the little princess has a noble status, growing up carefree without worries. There are only people the little princess can bully, and no one has the guts or the ability to bully the little princess. So how could she know what resentment is? Ah..." Yu Luo flicked her fingers, twirling a ball of emerald-green light: "What a pity."
Cai Zhi suddenly reached out, and with a flash of profound light, the giant Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword broke free from the emerald-green vine and flew back before her.
And at this moment, her gaze gradually changed in a peculiar way. In her star-like pupils, a faint red glow similar to Mo Li's began to flicker.
"And how do you know... that I cannot resent..."
She spoke softly, as if muttering to herself.
"Oh?" Yu Luo turned her gaze, still maintaining an innate seductive demeanor even in front of Cai Zhi.
Cai Zhi slowly extended her hand and gripped the Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword again. Her small hand was as milky white and delicate as a baby's, yet what she held was the most terrifying sword in the Eastern Divine Region.
"Although I have never seen my birth mother, I will never forget how she died... When I was young, without my mother's protection, my profound way talent was very poor. The cold stares and bullying I received then, I have never forgotten! If not for the protection of my aunt, brother, and sister, who treated me as family, this so-called little princess of the Star God Realm might have long been discarded in a corner no one knows. The so-called 'father king' wouldn't even look at me once, even after I died."
Yu Luo: "..."
"My aunt who raised me died—how could I not resent? My brother died—how could I not resent? Later, even my sister was 'poisoned to death'..."
"I am like a detestable star of calamity. Everyone who was good to me left one after another... Twelve years ago, when I heard the news that my sister was 'poisoned to death' in the Southern Divine Region, I was only seven years old, but... I understood what resentment was better than anyone else in the world!"
"Because at that time, all that remained of me was hate... hate for this world, hate for all of you, and even more, hate for myself!!"
Rumble rumble rumble
The space suddenly began to tremble slightly for no reason.
At the front of the entirely pale blue Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword, two streaks of crimson bloodlight suddenly burst forth, like the bloodthirsty eyes of a howling wolf.
The seductive smile on Yu Luo's face gradually disappeared, her eyebrows beginning to sink slightly... Amid her emotionless murmurs, Cai Zhi's aura had completely changed. The carefree, naive yet cunning elf maiden, whom everyone saw as blessed by heaven's dao to inherit the Celestial Wolf's divine power, seemed to have suddenly awakened an ancient demon god sleeping within her. Her entire body, and the depths of her eyes, now held only a ferocity and brutality that even Yu Luo found deeply shocking.
"Perhaps this is the real reason why I am so compatible with the Celestial Wolf's divine power."
Cai Zhi's light words made Yu Luo's brow twitch sharply, then slowly relax: "It seems this servant has always underestimated the little princess. So the most innocent and carefree Star God in the eyes of the world might actually be the most frightening one after all, hehehehe."
"Heehee, if it's sister and those who are good to her, you will never need to fear me. But if it's other people... perhaps, I really might become the most frightening person, hee hee hee hee..."
Cai Zhi smiled sweetly, but her smiling face at this moment clearly made Yu Luo feel a chilling coldness in her soul. She twisted her waist and crossed her arms over her heavy chest: "This servant has already seen the little princess's progress. I'll play with you again next time... I hope next time, you won't disappoint this servant even more."
"No need for next time!"
A force heavy to the extreme locked firmly onto Yu Luo. The Celestial Wolf Sacred Sword slowly rose, and heavenly might descended upon the world.
"You're right, the core of the Celestial Wolf's divine power is 'resentment,' and only then can..."
Cai Zhi's voice slowed slightly, but the aura locked onto Yu Luo suddenly changed in that instant, making Yu Luo whirl around.
"...Earth Sorrow... Heaven Wound..."
"...Only Hate... Heartless..."
Cai Zhi closed her eyes, slowly muttering under her breath. The shadow of the Celestial Wolf on her body slowly turned from pale blue to crimson... In that instant, Yu Luo's heart and soul violently palpitated, and the entire world seemed to transform into a boundless, eternal, inescapable terrifying prison.
"Heavenly Wound Heartless Sword!!"
For the first time, Yu Luo's perpetually charming face truly changed color: "Impossible... His Highness Xi Su took nine hundred years, but you only a mere seven years, how could..."
Her heart was full of disbelief, but her body quickly reacted. The Heavenly Poison divine power was rapidly released, and her normally half-languid state of mind also fully focused...
And at that very moment, both Yu Luo's and Cai Zhi's ears simultaneously heard an extremely faint sound.
Ding!
A figure appeared like a ghost between Cai Zhi and Yu Luo. Behind her was a thin red streak. The red streak pierced through Yu Luo's body, freezing in space, lingering for a long time without dispersing.
Cai Zhi's eyes snapped open, her gaze turning blank. Yu Luo's entire body remained motionless, as if frozen, and the Heavenly Poison divine power she was about to release silently dissipated...
The entire world seemed to have completely come to a standstill.
"Sis... sister?" Cai Zhi stared blankly at the figure that suddenly appeared before her. The resentment and sword might she had just gathered quickly dissipated in panic and confusion.
Crimson pupils, scarlet hair... it was Mo Li!
Yu Luo, pierced by the red streak, remained motionless. The seductive color in her pupils slowly faded, mingling with other hues.
"Wh... y..."
Yu Luo's lips did not move, but this voice was dry and hoarse, filled with despair and a bewilderment she could not believe even unto death...
Mo Li did not turn around, her gaze completely cold: "Because you deserve to die!"
