# Chapter 1505: "Seed"
Yun Che had no time to make even the slightest reaction to Jie Yuan's action.
A dull roar echoed within Yun Che's soul.
A mass of black light burst forth from his body, then rose into a thick black mist. But this was not power from Jie Yuan—it was his own power. The dark profound energy within his profound veins and Demon Source Pearl, like a dark beast suddenly awakened and then completely out of control, erupted wildly.
Yun Che's hair all flew upward, his pupils glowed with a dark light as deep as an endless abyss, and at the center of his heart, a half-zhang dark profound formation suddenly appeared. This dark profound formation spun rapidly at his chest beneath Jie Yuan's palm, growing smaller and smaller like a contracting black vortex, until it completely disappeared into his heart.
Jie Yuan's palm then moved away from his chest, and the black energy on Yun Che's body completely dissipated.
Yun Che staggered back half a step, gasping for breath, but then found that there was not the slightest discomfort throughout his body. His spiritual sense quickly scanned his entire body and also detected no abnormalities.
"Senior?" He looked up at Jie Yuan, his heart full of unease.
"No need to be nervous," Jie Yuan said with half-closed eyes, half-smiling. "I only planted a 'seed' within your body."
"Se...ed?"
"A seed of darkness." Jie Yuan spoke coldly. "If this world remains as you say—worthwhile for you to protect with everything—then this seed will never awaken."
"But if one day, you suddenly become completely disappointed and resentful toward this world, then this seed will awaken."
Jie Yuan's words, along with her strange expression, made Yun Che's heart tighten: "After it awakens... what will happen?"
"Then, you will know for yourself." Jie Yuan did not answer him directly. "This dark seed contains three drops of my origin demon blood. If you can fuse them with yourself, they will enhance your power, transform your body, and... unseal the seals set by Ni Xuan at the sixth and seventh realm gates within your profound veins!"
Jie Yuan's origin demon blood—that was the origin blood of a Demon Emperor!
Nothing like it had appeared in the world since the era of the gods.
"Additionally, it is imprinted with the [Dark Eternal Calamity]. It was originally unique to me, a dark profound art that only I could cultivate. But if it's you, after fusing with my demon blood, you might have the possibility of mastering it."
"Besides the [Dark Eternal Calamity], all the dark profound arts I have cultivated in my life are within it. Choose whichever you wish to cultivate!"
The dark profound arts exclusive to a Demon Emperor were undoubtedly the limit of dark power, existing in the same dimension as the Evil God Art and the Life Miracle!
"However, all of this requires the awakening of that 'dark seed,' so you should forget all of this for now." Jie Yuan said coldly. "I think you should neither hope for nor believe that such a day will come."
Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Yun Che thought for a moment and said, "I have experienced many losses, yet they were recovered time and again; I have faced despair many times, yet in the end, light of hope always descended; I have suffered much malice, but goodwill always outweighs malice."
"Those at the highest plane of this world have also been silently maintaining the balance of the Divine Realm's order, especially existences like the Zhou Tian God Realm, which adjudicate taboos and sins, keeping the Chaos in a peaceful and stable state."
"So, I truly believe there will never be such a day." Yun Che said this. "I think you believe the same, Senior, which is why you made this decision."
Jie Yuan: "..."
"Also, after you leave, Senior, I will—I think everyone who knows the truth will make your name and everything that happened public, so that the world will never forget the name Jie Tian Mo Di, and will cherish the current peace and stability even more. Perhaps from then on, the world's perception of demons will truly change."
Jie Yuan was silent for a long time. In the stillness, she turned around, her back to Yun Che. "Go. Go do what a savior should do. And I—I will personally announce this matter to them!"
…………
Leaving Jueyun Abyss, Yun Che pulled Qianye Ying'er along, summoned the Dun Yue Immortal Palace, and headed towards the Eastern Divine Region at maximum speed.
His destination was not Yin Xue Realm, but Zhou Tian God Realm.
"What... did you say!?"
Within the Zhou Tian Divine Hall, listening to Yun Che's account, Zhou Tian Shen Di slowly stood up. His white hair and beard, as if blown by wind, trembled incessantly.
He could not believe what Yun Che said—not a single word, not a single sentence.
"These were all spoken directly by Demon Emperor Senior." Zhou Tian Shen Di's reaction was no surprise to Yun Che. Yun Che slowed his speech and said very solemnly, "For a matter concerning the fate of the entire Divine Realm and the entire Chaos, I would never dare to speak any falsehood."
"This... this... how is this possible... how is this possible..." Zhou Tian Shen Di's eyes were wide, as if hearing news from beyond the heavens.
Like Yun Che, upon hearing this news, his first reaction was not ecstatic joy, but shock, bewilderment, disbelief.
With his Zhou Tian Shen Di's temperament, experience, and understanding of human nature, he simply could not comprehend what he was hearing.
An ancient Demon Emperor who could control the world with one finger would willingly sacrifice herself and all her remaining clansmen for the sake of mere mortals—insignificant ants from her perspective?
He could not understand, truly could not understand.
Such a thing could only be done by a saint, a true saint. But she was clearly a demon... and the emperor of demons!
"Are these truly the words of Jie Tian Mo Di herself... are they truly the words of Jie Tian Mo Di herself?"
He asked the same question twice in a row.
"Yes." Yun Che nodded again. "With Demon Emperor Senior's strength, there is simply no reason, and she would not deign to deceive. It was also Demon Emperor Senior who asked me to come and inform you of this. In eight days, she will return to the Outer Chaos and personally destroy the spatial passage created by the Cosmic Thorn, cutting off the possibility of the return of the many demon gods... and herself."
Zhou Tian Shen Di looked at Yun Che, every muscle in his face trembling from too intense agitation. Without a doubt, during this period, he was the one with the heaviest worries, every moment fearing for the Divine Realm's future, thinking of countless possibilities of dealing with the returning demon gods.
The demon gods would no longer return, and the Demon Emperor would also leave... Looking at Yun Che so close, hearing the clear voice by his ear, he tested himself again and again to see if he was in a dream.
"Good... good... good!!" Seeming finally convinced that this was not an illusion, Zhou Tian Shen Di laughed. It was as if a billion tons of pressure had been lifted from him, so light that he felt an unprecedented sense of exhaustion, and a layer of mist covered his eyes: "Heaven blesses this generation... Heaven blesses this generation!"
"Additionally, Demon Emperor Senior said she will personally announce this matter. So, I request that you invite all Divine Emperors and Realm Kings as soon as possible. With Demon Emperor Senior announcing it personally, they will truly be at ease."
As Yun Che spoke, myriad emotions surged in his heart.
Yes, everything was like a dream. No one could have imagined such an outcome.
Jie Tian Mo Di—from her return to her decision to leave, only a short two months. She had stirred up huge waves, brought unprecedented panic to the Divine Realm's top powers. If she wished, she could have become the undisputed master of Chaos... yet in the end, she made the most impossible choice, willingly becoming a passerby who came and went in haste.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian Shen Di quickly called out, "Tai Yu, quickly send messages to all realms!"
The sound of Zhou Tian transmitted to all realms, several beams even crossing the vast void, reaching the Western Divine Region and Southern Divine Region.
Instantly, in the Eastern Divine Region, each royal realm and upper star realm, top-tier mystic arks and mystic ships shot at full speed towards Zhou Tian God Realm. In the void of the Western and Southern Divine Regions, several blazing meteors also streaked across.
Just like the day of the Demon Emperor's return, on this day, Zhou Tian God Realm once again gathered almost all the upper realm kings of the Eastern Divine Region. But even more exaggerated, this time, the four Divine Emperors of the Southern Divine Region and the one Sovereign and five Divine Emperors of the Western Divine Region all arrived.
Thus, of the three divine regions—East, West, and South—apart from the missing Xing Shen Di, all Divine Emperors gathered at Zhou Tian God Realm!
This scene had never occurred since ancient times!
Clearly, only by hearing Jie Tian Mo Di's own words could they truly rest assured!
On the Feng Shen Platform, of the fourteen Divine Emperors from the three regions, a full thirteen had arrived. Their invisible might caused the space of Zhou Tian God Realm to tremble silently. Even the upper realm kings, who could dominate the world in their own domains, could barely breathe.
Such a grand scene, even they had never imagined.
Yet such a vast assembly was met with astonishing silence. Gazes constantly flicked towards the location of Zhou Tian God Realm. But Zhou Tian Shen Di sat motionless. Though his expression was calm and his gaze peaceful, the constantly twitching corner of his brow clearly revealed his inner turmoil.
And Yun Che sat beside him, sharing the same seat, surpassing all the Guardians and Arbiters of Zhou Tian God Realm.
Time flowed quietly, yet no one spoke. Everyone knew in their hearts that what was about to happen would truly decide the fate of Chaos. They waited with unprecedented excitement, anxiety, and anticipation, holding their breath. Even the Divine Emperors dared not break the eerie silence.
Finally, above the Feng Shen Platform, a black shadow slowly materialized.
She released no pressure, and no one could even sense any aura from her. But the moment she appeared, all the Divine Emperors, Divine Lords, and even the ancient spiritual energy of the Feng Shen Platform itself vanished in an instant. The vast space immediately became a terrifying vacuum, lasting for several breaths before the spiritual energy warily flowed back.
Everyone completely held their breath, a momentary darkness flashing before their eyes. And the next instant, they all stood up almost simultaneously, their heads, accustomed to looking down upon all living things, all deeply bowed:
"We welcome Jie Tian Mo Di!"
Thirteen Divine Emperors, representing the highest power of the Divine Realm; the multitude of upper realm kings, controlling the lifeline of the entire Eastern Divine Region. All of them, at this moment, bowed in unison to a woman. And that fear and submission originated from life and soul, even surpassing their own will.
If this scene were seen by the world, it would be enough to shatter the lifelong understanding of all profound practitioners in the Divine Realm.
