# Chapter 1332: No Regrets, No Life (Part 2)
God Emperor — the most supreme title between heaven and earth. In the entire Chaos World, spanning the Four Divine Regions, only seventeen beings bore this name. In the vast Eastern Divine Region, there were only four.
They were the most pinnacle existences of the current age, in strength, in power, and in prestige. Not to be provoked, and even less to be insulted.
And now, Star God Emperor Xing Juekong was being called an "old thief" by a junior hundreds of times younger than him, and verbally abused and admonished face to face with the most extreme insults.
Those able to attend the blood sacrifice ceremony were at minimum Star Guards — figures standing at the very highest levels of the entire Eastern Divine Region. But when that final cry of "worse than pigs and dogs" roared from Yun Che's mouth, every single person felt their whole body tighten, their hearts trembling with fear... because the person he was insulting was the Star God Emperor!
Never... could even the most imaginative mind conceive that someone would dare insult an existence like the Star God Emperor in such a manner. Even Moon God Emperor, who bore the greatest enmity toward the Star God Emperor and possessed a status that matched his own, would never do such a thing.
The perpetually calm Xing Mingzi suddenly had his beard and brows shooting upright. Furious, he shouted, "Presumptuous brat! How dare you insult my king! For the words you just spoke, ten thousand deaths would not be enough to atone!"
"Seize him immediately!!"
Just as a Star Guard stepped forward, the Star God Emperor let out a faint chuckle. He showed not a trace of anger; instead, his face was full of smiles. "Yun Che, you truly have remarkable courage. To dare insult this king as you have — you are the first in this age. It seems that when you came here today, you never planned to leave alive."
He did not look at Yun Che, merely letting out a long sigh. "Sigh... if such words had come from anyone else, this king would surely have exterminated their entire clan. But I will not pursue this with you. After all, you have come here risking your life for the sake of my daughter. Hate if you must, curse if you must. To sacrifice one's own daughter — such hatred and curses are deserved. However, no matter how much you hate and curse, this king will never regret it... If it can ensure the Star God Realm stands eternal, then let the whole world despise me, let them call me worse than pigs and dogs — so be it."
The Star God Emperor's sighs were slow, his every word resolute. There was self-reproach for sacrificing his own kin, but far more, it was the broad-mindedness to destroy himself and pity the world. Tianyuan Star God glanced at him, then sighed as well. "This old servant knows full well that our king grieves more than anyone. This ignorant junior knows nothing of our king's breadth of mind, but how could we be unaware? Our king spares no cost for the Star God Realm. All we can do is swear to follow and assist to the death, never failing our king's intentions."
Tu Mi always knew how to say the most fitting words at the most opportune moment. In just a few brief phrases, he gently stirred ripples in the hearts of most Star Gods and Star Guards.
But Yun Che let out a cold laugh of utmost scorn. "Heh heh heh... 'For the sake of the Star God Realm,' you say? Old thief Star, you've almost fooled even yourself into believing that! For the sake of the Star God Realm? Hah! Then let me ask you — if this ritual truly benefits the Star God Realm, why has no Star God Emperor in the entire history of the Star God Realm ever used it!"
"Ignorance," Tu Mi said calmly. "This blood sacrifice formation was sealed in the secret annals by the ancestral Star God. It was not until our king's generation that the seal was finally broken."
Yun Che's eyes narrowed, his smile turning even colder. "Is that so? Then tell me — if this blood sacrifice formation you speak of could truly make the Star God Realm 'stand eternal,' why did the ancestral Star God not pass it down through the generations to protect the Star God Realm? Why did he instead seal it tightly away!?"
"..." Tu Mi was momentarily at a loss for words.
"Because your ancestral Star God knew full well what a despicable, contemptible thing this blood sacrifice formation truly was! To sacrifice one's own blood to fulfill oneself... Tch! What level of inhumanity, what depth of inner ugliness must one possess to do such a thing! If any generation of Star God truly committed such an act, they would without question defy the heavenly way, defy human morality, and earn the wrath of both gods and men. The Star God Realm, which once looked down upon the mortal world, would become despised and spat upon by all creation!"
"That is why the ancestral Star God sealed it away!"
"But the ancestral Star God, and every generation of ancestors before you, never imagined that one of their descendants would actually break that seal — and use this blood sacrifice ritual with his own two daughters as offerings!" Yun Che pointed at Xing Juekong, his words sharp and piercing. "Old thief Star, let's set aside whether you've wronged your daughters — have you wronged your ancestors!?"
"Even if you succeed today and become what you call a 'True God'... the power you obtain by personally killing your own two daughters — how ugly, how filthy! Even if you become the supreme ruler of heaven and earth, you will stink forever! The entire Star God Realm will become, because of you, the filthiest, most debased star realm in existence, to be scorned and spat upon by all! The proud prestige your ancestors built with nearly a million years of painstaking effort will be utterly destroyed by your hands!"
"In the future, what face will you have to meet your ancestors? Even if you descend into the deepest hell, into the abyss of the Yellow Springs, your ancestors will never forgive you. They will personally grind your bones to dust and scatter your ashes! And your descendants, the future generations of the Star God Realm, will forever remember that the Star God Realm once had a God Emperor worse than pigs and dogs, a stench that will linger for ten thousand generations!"
Every word of Yun Che's furious tirade shook the soul, every syllable venomously vicious. The Star God Emperor, who had smiled serenely even when called "worse than pigs and dogs," finally changed color. An eerie silence fell over the entire Star God City. The Star Gods and elders within the barrier, and the Star Guards outside it, were all stunned where they stood, their hearts in turmoil, their ears ringing with a long, lingering roar.
Xing Mingzi stared blankly. Then his gaze happened to meet the slightly altered expression on the Star God Emperor's face. His heart jolted, and he let out a great roar. "Silence!"
"YOU be silent!" Just as Xing Mingzi opened his mouth, an explosive roar crashed toward him. Two eyes, terrifying to the extreme, stabbed into the depths of his pupils in the same instant. Yun Che's face was dark as a ghost, his words shaking the soul. "Old thief Star's actions are inhuman, worse than pigs and dogs! He not only kills his own daughters but will destroy the Star God Realm's million-year reputation. And you — you who are supposed to be the pillars of the Star God Realm — not only do you not stop him, but you help and allow him! You're just as worse than pigs and dogs!"
"You've thrown away the most basic humanity and shame, and you still have the nerve to bark in front of me! Ptooey!"
"You..." The dignified thirty-seventh elder of the Star Gods was as if a lump of dry, hard shit had been forcibly lodged in his throat. His face was black and green, his whole body trembling. He couldn't roar out a single complete sentence.
Closest to the Star God Emperor, Tianyuan Star God Tu Mi could clearly feel that the Star God Emperor's aura had become somewhat disordered. His heart was slightly shaken... Yun Che's arrival was a major surprise, but he had never taken it to heart. Because with Yun Che's level of power, it was impossible for him to cause any accident. He was merely walking into a trap.
But he had never expected Yun Che to be not only astonishingly bold, but also vicious to such a degree with his words. Beside him, not only the Star God Emperor but even several Star Gods and elders had clearly experienced fluctuations in their auras.
His old eyes shifted, and he gave a faint smile. "Yun Che, what a sharp tongue. Unfortunately..."
Before he could finish his words, Yun Che's gaze had already turned. The mockery and disgust on his face were not as if he were facing a Star God, but as if he were staring at a reeking pile of dog shit. "Tu Mi, you old thief, shut your dog mouth! The stench coming from your mouth is far too foul. Every word you utter defiles my ears — understand!"
Tu Mi: "..."
Back when he first met Tu Mi in the Zhou Tian God Realm, his initial impression was that this was a kind and experienced old man. When he learned that he was Mo Li's teacher in her youth, he had felt even more respect.
Now, there was only endless hatred and disgust.
Yun Che raised his hand and pointed at the gathered Star Gods and elders. "I really want to know now — you, and all of you Star Gods. You bear the Star God divine power, a great gift bestowed on you by the Star God bloodline. And yet, you are loyal to a God Emperor who has lost all humanity and will surely stink for ten thousand generations! You help him kill two other Star Gods! Take a good, hard look at what you're doing. Feel your own conscience. In the future, what face will you have to face the world? And after death, what face will you have to face your own ancestors?"
"The blood sacrifice art — no one in the entire history of the Star God bloodline has ever used it! Because if any Star God possessed even a shred of shame or conscience, they would find it beneath them! Since no one has ever used it, no one knows whether it can truly succeed. And yet, old thief Star — solely for a possibility that no one can predict — he unhesitatingly kills his own two biological daughters! Don't even speak of humans — even the lowest, most base livestock would not do such a thing!"
"If he can do this to his own daughters, then in the future, if there is some method that can sacrifice you to achieve his own goals, he will not hesitate for a single moment either! What happened to Mo Li and Cai Zhi today will be your tomorrow! If you truly care about the Star God Realm, if you still have even a shred of the pride of being a Star God and even a shred of the humanity of being a person, you should stop your hands right now. Depose this God Emperor who is worse than pigs and dogs!"
"You bastard!" The Star God Emperor finally broke his silence. His face was a terrifying shade of grayish-black, and his body was visibly trembling ever so slightly.
If not witnessed personally, no one would believe that the dignified Star God Emperor could actually be shaken to the point of trembling by someone's curses.
Yun Che was raging to the extreme, his words shaking heaven and earth, yet every sentence stabbed straight into the human heart. Not only the Star God Emperor, but all the Star Gods and elders had clearly changed expressions, their auras experiencing varying degrees of turbulence.
Tu Mi had never dreamed that a junior who had barely lived half a Jiazi, someone who posed no threat at all, could shake the hearts and souls of a God Emperor and a host of Star Gods with mere words. Even he himself was beginning to feel that what he was doing was utterly unforgivable. He finally glared in anger, growling low, "Despicable brat... Xing Mingzi, seal his mouth!"
"Take him!" Xing Mingzi roared.
Within the blood sacrifice formation, Tianyao Star God Qiang Wei quietly glanced at Tianxuan Star God Zi Wan. "Sister..."
"Focus and gather your heart. Do not be disturbed by external influences," Zi Wan said in a low voice. She could feel that Qiang Wei's heart was in turmoil... and her own heart was as well — the kind that could neither be controlled nor suppressed.
But once the ritual had begun, it could not be stopped. Even if they truly regretted it, it was now impossible to withdraw.
Even though Xing Mingzi's heart was about to explode with rage, as a Star God elder, he naturally could not stoop to personally attacking Yun Che. At his shout, a Star Guard lunged down toward Yun Che.
After becoming a Divine King, Yun Che was virtually invincible among his peers below the King Realm. But how could he compare to a Star Guard? A pressure he could not possibly resist pressed down from above, forcibly forcing him to half-kneel. His entire body felt as though ten thousand mountains were weighing down on him, unable to move.
He gritted his teeth and forcibly raised his head to look at the Star Guard standing before him... Among these three thousand high-level Star Guards, he had seen very few. But the person before him was the Star Guard he knew best.
He was the Tiansha Star Guard — Mo Li's Star Guard. And the commander of all Tiansha Star Guards...
Xing Ling!
As the commander of the Star Guards, Xing Ling was an eighth-level Divine Sovereign, equal in strength to Mu Bingyun... And Mu Bingyun was the number two figure in Ying Xue Realm, second only to his master.
Faced with such power, even if he forcibly activated Yan Huang, he would have no power to resist.
"Young Master Yun, why must you be like this?" Xing Ling shook his head, his eyes full of regret. He couldn't understand — with such an infinite future ahead of him, why was he so stubbornly coming to seek death?
The corners of Yun Che's mouth curled up slightly as he looked at the man he had once respectfully called "Big Brother." "Xing Ling, you once told me with your own mouth that becoming a Star Guard was the greatest pride and glory of your life. Hah! As Mo Li's Star Guard, it is your heavenly duty to be loyal and protect her. And yet, you betrayed your master, harmed your master, and helped others kill the Star God you were meant to serve! This is the so-called glory you speak of!?"
Xing Ling's breath caught. He involuntarily averted his gaze from Yun Che. "The one I am loyal to is not the Star God... but the Star God Realm."
"Ptooey!" Yun Che spat. "You are loyal to an old thief who wants to kill his own daughters — your own master! I am not a Star Guard, just a mere mortal from a lower realm, yet I know to protect her with my life. But you — as Mo Li's Star Guard, even if you had spoken half a word of plea for her, I would have looked up to you. And yet, you betray your master and harm your master — you're worse than a dog you've raised!"
"I was blind to have once called you 'Big Brother' in respect, just because you were Mo Li's Star Guard!"
"..." Xing Ling's mouth twitched. He wanted to defend himself, but could not utter a single word. Even the force suppressing Yun Che unconsciously weakened by several degrees.
"Where are the Star Guards of the Tiansha Star God and the Tianlang Star God?!" Even while suppressed, Yun Che's hoarse roar was still deafening. "If you have any spine at all, step forward! Let me see the faces of all you traitors who have betrayed and harmed your masters!!"
Under Yun Che's furious roar, not a single person stepped forward. Many Star Guards silently lowered their heads, their faces dark, their hands clenched tight.
"Heh..." Yun Che sneered. "You'd better pray that what happened today never becomes known to the world. Otherwise, everyone will know that the Star God Realm produced a bunch of traitors who betrayed and harmed their masters! You will be despised and scorned by all the world. Even the Star Guards of other Star Gods will look down on you forever. The so-called glory you once had will become a stain of shame you can never wash away... Your families, your wives and children, your descendants — they will live in this humiliation for generation after generation, ashamed of you forever!"
"SEAL HIS MOUTH!!" Xing Mingzi roared madly.
BOOM!!!
A thunderous sound erupted. Light profound force burst from Yun Che's body, and he broke free from the distracted Xing Ling. He soared into the air, his profound energy in chaotic turmoil. The Heaven-Defying Demon-Slaying Sword appeared in his hand, pointing forward, his eyes burning with a terrifying ferocity:
"Since I'm here today, I never planned on leaving alive. I'm just a useless piece of trash — I can't save Mo Li, I can't save Cai Zhi. But at least... I'll make sure all you bastards who hurt Mo Li and Cai Zhi..."
"Follow them to the grave!!"
