# Chapter 1331: No Regrets, No Life (Part 1)

The aura of someone who had just entered the Divine King realm was utterly insignificant in Star God City, which gathered the Star Gods and Star Guards. Yet, it shocked everyone greatly.

Because this aura had actually crossed the Star Soul Barrier, which should have been impossible to cross, and arrived at Star God City, where a ritual concerning the future fate of the Star God Realm was taking place!

"Who goes there!!"

With a loud shout, all the Star Gods, elders, and Star Guards turned their gazes upward in the same instant…

Being locked onto by the auras of three thousand Star Guards and a Star God elder was an incredibly terrifying thing. Every single one of the three thousand Star Guards was a powerhouse at the level of Mu Bingyun and Mu Huanzhi—any one of them could easily take his life.

And the Star God elder left behind, Xing Mingzi, was a genuine Divine Lord!

If it were an ordinary Divine Way profound practitioner, just the oppressive pressure descending simultaneously would be enough to shatter them into dust.

Yun Che felt as though a massive weight was crushing him, unable to breathe, but his expression was terrifyingly calm. Under everyone's gaze, he descended from the air and stepped onto the ground of Star God City… a tiny existence, a faint presence, yet he stood alone before all the Star Gods of the Star God Realm, all the elders, and all the high-ranking Star Guards.

The scene before him was magnificent. It gathered all the top-level power of the Star God Realm, luxurious enough to make anyone's jaw drop. He saw the profound formation releasing boundless light, saw the Star God Emperor at the center of the formation, saw within another barrier Mo Li staring blankly at him, and also…

Cai Zhi!?

"Yun Che!?"

After the Nine Heavens Heavenly Tribulation and the True God Prophecy, who in the Eastern Divine Region didn't know the name Yun Che?

When they saw that the person who had arrived was actually Yun Che, the shock that had just risen in everyone's hearts quickly dissipated, leaving only surprise. After all, it was extremely incredible that he would barge in here, but there was no threat whatsoever.

"Seize him!" the thirty-seventh elder, Xing Mingzi, who had stayed behind, ordered.

"Wait." The Star God Emperor spoke calmly. At the center of the blood sacrifice array, his gaze fell on Yun Che, his eyes seemingly piercing Yun Che's heart and soul: "Yun Che, it is said that you gave up entering the Zhou Tian Divine Realm and chose to stay in the Dragon God Realm. Why are you here today? Could it be… that the Dragon Emperor sent you in to investigate?"

Such a major event, involving such a forbidden secret of the Star God Realm, if an intruder had truly broken in, they should naturally be killed without hesitation. But Yun Che was different. The fact that he could stay in the Dragon God Realm meant he was definitely under the protection of the Dragon Emperor. Killing him would likely bring trouble from the Dragon God Realm. And given his strength—not to mention how he broke in, even if a thousand or ten thousand of him intruded, it would be impossible to affect the ritual in any way, let alone pose a threat. Therefore, killing him was completely unnecessary.

More importantly, Yun Che possessed many things that even the Star God Emperor didn't understand. Behind these "incomprehensible" things might lie secrets beyond common knowledge. As a Divine Emperor, how could he not want to know? Yun Che barging in under these circumstances was actually "walking right into the trap."

It was only natural for the Star God Emperor to associate this with the "Dragon Emperor." Because besides that, he couldn't think of any reason why Yun Che would break in at this time.

The Star God Emperor personally questioned him, and there seemed to be no hint of reproach in his tone. Yet Yun Che showed no reaction, not even turning his gaze toward him. Instead, he looked through the figures of one Star Guard after another, meeting Mo Li's dazed eyes… They were right in front of each other, yet it felt like a lifetime apart.

"Mo Li…"

Yun Che's soft murmur struck Mo Li's nerves like a sharp blow. Her hand, holding Cai Zhi's, tightened violently, and she roared hoarsely: "What are you doing here! Get out! Get out right now!!"

Yun Che's sudden arrival was undoubtedly the most terrifying scene in the world for Mo Li. Her roar was desperate, causing everyone to look at her in surprise.

The Star God Emperor's brow twitched violently.

Yun Che wasn't surprised by Mo Li's reaction at all. He shook his head: "Mo Li, you know… I won't leave. Unless you come with me."

Yes, Mo Li knew better than anyone that he wouldn't leave. Even if he knew it was death, and a completely pointless death at that, he still wouldn't leave. In the years she had been with Yun Che, he would listen to many words and teachings. But on this one point, he was stubborn to the extreme… That was also why the word she cursed him with most was "idiot."

Mo Li's heart choked with pain as she said bitterly: "Even if you came, what can you do… Why did you have to come…"

Over the years, she had always believed her choice was correct, was the only one. Just as Xi Su had willingly become a sacrifice for her back then. It was only today that she realized that the sacrifice and the "only choice" she had always believed in had actually harmed Cai Zhi, harmed herself… and had also harmed Yun Che.

Yun Che should have had absolutely no way to break through the Star Soul Barrier. But coincidentally, when she left the Tian Xuan Continent back then, she had deliberately left behind a drop of her Star God blood for Yun Che. At that time, she had only selfishly wanted to leave a permanent mark of herself in his body, but she never imagined that it would…

This was millions of times more despairing than the worst scenario she had always anticipated.

Yun Che and Mo Li's words left the people of the Star God Realm completely bewildered. But at that moment, Tianyuan Star God Tu Mi let out a light laugh: "Heh, so that's how it is. Back when Yu Luo brought back His Highness Mo Li, she once said that the reason His Highness Mo Li was able to shake off the demon poison she had suffered in the Southern Divine Region was because she had forcibly abandoned her body and chosen a suitable lower realm human as a soul vessel… That person was Yun Che."

"Oh?" The Star God Emperor's brow moved sharply.

The Tianyuan Star God continued: "Earlier, I had been suspicious as to why this child Yun Che would choose our Star God Realm, and why he followed my king here without hesitation. I was also puzzled as to why His Highness Mo Li, who never allows anyone to approach the Tiansha Star God Hall, kept Yun Che and stubbornly refused to allow my king to come into contact with him. If the years when His Highness lost contact were spent with Yun Che, then everything makes sense."

"And…" A terrifying gleam flashed in the old eyes of Tianyuan Star God: "If I am not mistaken, the various abnormalities in Yun Che are very likely… because he inherited the Evil God Divine Power that His Highness Mo Li obtained back then!"

Yun Che: "…"

At these words, everyone was shocked. Evil God Divine Power… That was a Creation God power that had never been seen before, a power on a level even above the True God Divine Power!

The Star God Emperor's expression changed drastically in an instant, and he couldn't bring himself to believe it: "Tu Mi, you mean…"

"There can be no mistake." Tianyuan Star God's gaze was sharp, fixed firmly on Yun Che: "To be able to defeat a prodigy like Luo Changsheng across an entire major realm—such a thing has never happened since ancient times. Even the Dragon God's power would be absolutely impossible to accomplish. But if it were a power at the level of the Creation Gods, suppressing an entire major realm is by no means impossible. Furthermore, the Evil God was once the Element Creation God, possessing the most extreme elemental power. And Yun Che can simultaneously control ice, fire, and lightning, and emerged unscathed from the Nine Heavens Thunder Tribulation…"

"It wasn't because he is so-called 'child of the Heavenly Dao,' but because of his Evil God Divine Power! As a Creation God, the Evil God's elemental divine power is above even the power of the Heavenly Dao… It is by no means incomprehensible for him not to be harmed by the tribulation divine lightning."

"Thus, everything can be explained! Since His Highness Mo Li could even bestow the Evil God Divine Power upon Yun Che, then giving him Star God blood is even more normal. That is also why he was able to cross the Star Soul Barrier."

Every word from Tianyuan Star God was deafening. The mental impact of a power at the level of the Creation Gods was extremely intense for the Star God Emperor and the Star God powerhouses. Their gazes toward Yun Che all underwent a drastic change… And following Tianyuan Star God's reasoning, if he truly bore the Evil God's power, then all the incomprehensible things that had happened to him could be explained.

Moreover, the legend of Mo Li obtaining the Evil God inheritance in the Southern Divine Region back then was widely known.

Mu Xuanyin had once sternly warned Yun Che that he must never let anyone know his relationship with Mo Li. Otherwise, the various anomalies in his body would easily be linked to the "Evil God Divine Power." And this warning from Mu Xuanyin was now fully realized… With just a few words between Yun Che and Mo Li, this terrifyingly astute Tianyuan Star God had completely seen through everything.

However, none of this mattered to Yun Che at this moment. He did not deny a single word, and directly said: "As expected of the Tianyuan Star God, known as the Wise One of the Star Gods. You are right. The power within me is indeed inherited from the Evil God's legacy!"

Yun Che's personal admission caused the Star God crowd, already extremely astonished, to be even more shaken inside… The fact that Yun Che carried the power of a Creation God within him—if this news were to spread, it would undoubtedly cause an unprecedented uproar throughout the entire God Realm.

At the center of the blood sacrifice array, the Star God Emperor, who should have been calm, had a loud, unusual light in his eyes. He felt his heart thumping wildly and uncontrollably—even on the day when the ritual's final elements were completed, he had not been this excited.

Sensing the clearly uncontrollable emotional fluctuation of the Star God Emperor, Tu Mi said in a low voice: "My king, it seems that Heaven truly favors our Star God Realm. Not only will the ritual be completed, but such a great gift has also been delivered. This is a Heaven-sent opportunity, and we must not let even the slightest bit slip away."

The Star God Emperor took a slow breath and nodded lightly, but the brilliant light in his eyes could not be suppressed no matter what.

Yun Che's direct admission was undoubtedly placing himself in mortal danger, but his face bore a terrifying coldness and calmness, and his gaze was fixed straight on the Star God Emperor: "Star God Emperor, I'm sure you are now very eager to know all my secrets, especially… how to take away my Evil God Divine Power, right?"

He pointed to where Mo Li and Cai Zhi were: "Release Mo Li and Cai Zhi, and I will tell you every secret you want to know!"

"Heh," the Star God Emperor smiled faintly: "Yun Che, since you have barged in here by force, you should also know what kind of ritual my Star God Realm is conducting. For the sake of this ritual, not only have I planned and prepared for many years, but now I am exhausting the full strength of my entire realm. How could I possibly abandon it just because of a word from you?"

"In other words, you will by no means let Mo Li and Cai Zhi go… even if they are both your own biological daughters?" Yun Che said. He had offered to exchange his secrets for the Star God Emperor releasing Mo Li and Cai Zhi, but he had no illusions of hope whatsoever.

The Star God Emperor lifted his head slightly and let out a soft sigh: "Mo Li and Cai Zhi are my daughters. Sacrificing them brings me more grief and heartache than anyone. But after all, I am the Star God Emperor. If it can benefit the future of the Star God Realm, even if I sacrifice my own daughters, unworthy of being a father, reviled and scorned by the world, I will not hesitate or regret!"

The Star God Emperor's words were deafening. Yun Che was slightly stunned, then let out a cold laugh, and then laughed wildly and wantonly: "Hahahaha… hahahahaha… What a fine 'for the future of the Star God Realm,' what a fine 'unworthy of being a father.' An act that is clearly selfish, filthy, and utterly inhumane, yet you don't feel the slightest shame or regret. Instead, you speak of it as if it were grand and righteous. You old thief Star God Emperor, you have truly opened my eyes and left me utterly astounded!"

Yun Che's address for Xing Juekong changed from "Star God Emperor" to "old thief Star God Emperor." In the vast God Realm, who would dare to use these three words to address the supreme Star God Emperor—and to his face? Under the abruptly changing gazes of everyone, Yun Che did not retreat half a step due to the shift in atmosphere. His eyes narrowed slightly as he pointed a finger at the Star God Emperor: "Old thief Star God Emperor, let me correct you on one thing…"

"Although I am young in age and shallow in experience, I have come into contact with quite a few evil people in my life. Among these people, even those whose sins are monstrous and whom I would love to cut into a thousand pieces—when they faced danger to their own children, they would protect them with their own lives. Because that is the instinct of human nature, unrelated to evil."

"So, old thief Star God Emperor, it's not that you are unworthy of being a father. It's that you are unworthy of being a human at all!!"

"A fierce tiger does not eat its own cubs; even pigs and dogs know to protect their young. But you, bearing the name of the Star God Emperor, are nothing but a thing worse than pigs and dogs!"
