Chapter 1507: The Fate of the Evil Infant
“After the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel created the calamity that annihilated both gods and demons in that era, its power was almost exhausted, and it was sealed by the Evil God. During the years of its seal, its power naturally could not recover; instead, it was further annihilated and devoured by the power left behind by the Evil God. A million years later, when the sealing power left by the Evil God dissipated, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel that broke free from the seal was naturally in an extremely weakened state—so weak that… Mo Li, who accidentally found it, was able to seal it again.”
Zhou Tian Shen Di: “…”
“In the ancient era, the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel was feared not only by gods but also by demons, so it was always under the full-scale seal of the demon race. The reason it unleashed Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion after the seal was lifted was precisely the resentment that had accumulated and piled up during the long sealing.”
“The reason it wanted to destroy all gods and demons at all costs, besides resentment, might have an even more important reason—that it feared being sealed again.”
In the Tai Chu Divine Realm, he had personally seen the artifact spirit of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel… Shrouded in black mist, its form, voice, and even tone were like that of an infant.
As the extreme of dark power, it feared darkness and loneliness… But no one would imagine such a scene. To them, the name Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel only evoked its world-destroying reputation and endless fear.
“Therefore, because it feared being sealed again, it chose to submit to Mo Li, willingly acknowledging her as its master and taking her will as its primary will.”
Yun Che did not say that a bigger reason for the Evil Infant to take Mo Li as its master was its fear of darkness and solitude, because he knew that in the ears of the world, those words would only seem ridiculous and would never be believed.
“And the reason Mo Li agreed was to prevent it from falling into the hands of someone with ulterior motives and becoming a tool of disaster for others. She never intended to awaken its power; she only wanted to keep it within her body, eternally silent from then on, never causing panic among the people or bringing about catastrophe.”
Zhou Tian Shen Di said, “But…”
“Senior, do you know why the Evil Infant awakened?” Yun Che knew what he wanted to say and directly interrupted him.
“Why?” Zhou Tian Shen Di asked.
“Then, senior, have you now understood why the Star God Realm back then did not hesitate to use the ‘Star Soul Absolute Domain’ to seal its realm?”
“…?” Zhou Tian Shen Di still had no knowledge of this matter to this day.
The Star God Emperor had been missing for several years with no news at all. The remaining Star Gods and elders all kept silent about the sealing back then, refusing to reveal a single word.
“I think that even with your abilities, senior, even up to now, you must still not know why the Star God Realm forcibly sealed its realm back then… Because even if they had ten thousand times the courage, they wouldn’t dare speak of it! If they have even an ounce of shame left, they absolutely have no face to say a single word!”
“What exactly is the reason?” Yun Che’s words shook Zhou Tian Shen Di’s heart. The Star God Realm had never been willing to reveal anything about this matter. He had long known it must be extraordinary, yet he had no way to find out. And clearly, Yun Che knew the whole truth.
“The Evil Infant… was forced out by the Star God Realm.” Yun Che said. Although Mo Li, whom he thought he had lost forever, had returned to his life, he still gritted his teeth heavily when recalling that time.
He could never forgive Xing Juekong, nor could he ever forgive the Star God Realm!
Then, he described in detail to Zhou Tian Shen Di the sacrificial ritual of the Star God Realm back then and the repeated scheming of the Star God Emperor against his own children.
With Zhou Tian Shen Di’s vast experience, even as he listened to Yun Che’s account, a deep shock appeared on his face.
Tianlang Xingshen, Tianxia Xingshen—as those chosen by the power of the Star Gods, both willingly sacrificed themselves to save their loved ones. Yet their father, who stood at the pinnacle of the Divine Realm and symbolized the supreme existence of the Eastern Domain—the Star God Emperor—instead of feeling ashamed and moved by this, actually used it to scheme against them…
Words like vicious, despicable, and insane were insufficient to describe it.
“How could such a thing happen…” Zhou Tian Shen Realm was one of those who knew the Star God Emperor best, but even he felt deep shock and disbelief.
As a fellow Divine Emperor of the Eastern Domain, he even felt deeply ashamed.
Even the most ruthless and cold-blooded Fantian Shen Di, whom he knew, had always cherished his daughter as a precious treasure all these years and would not allow her to be harmed in any way.
“Back then, I learned everything because of a special reason, which is why I forcefully stormed the Star God Realm. The reason I could enter the ‘Star Soul Absolute Domain’ was because I carried the Star God blood she had given me.”
Yun Che spoke simply and earnestly: “Unfortunately, I was ultimately too weak. Against the Star God Realm, I could do nothing. I nearly lost my life and finally escaped using a special method. However, they all thought I was dead. She also believed so. It was because of extreme disappointment, despair, and hatred that the power of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel awakened.”
Back then, the Star God Emperor had told Zhou Tian Shen Di that Yun Che died at the hands of the Evil Infant. Only today did he learn that it was actually the Star God Realm that had killed him. As shock and anger surged within him, a violent aftertaste followed: if Yun Che had truly died back then, the calamity of the Demon Emperor and the Demon God would have shrouded the entire chaos without any chance of escape.
The Star God Emperor was not only devoid of humanity and ethics but had also come dangerously close to becoming the greatest sinner in the history of the Divine Realm.
“No wonder Xing Juekong has been missing for several years. It seems he knows that the truth will one day be exposed. Once people know that the Evil Infant awakened because of him, no one in this world could ever forgive him, so he temporarily went into hiding.”
Zhou Tian Shen Di sighed, his emotions extraordinarily complex: “Yun Shenzi, what exactly… are you trying to say?”
“I am saying all this not only to let senior understand the truth but also to ask one favor of you.” Yun Che’s heart was uneasy, but his eyes and tone were exceptionally resolute: “I hope that senior can tolerate the existence of the Evil Infant and make this intention public.”
“This…” Although he had a premonition in his heart, Zhou Tian Shen Di still showed a troubled expression upon hearing Yun Che’s words. After hesitating for a moment, he said with a sigh: “I said earlier that you have the right to make any request. But… regarding the matter of the Evil Infant, like the Demon Emperor and the Demon God, it concerns the safety of the entire Divine Realm.”
“Both are demons, so why has senior never been intolerant of the even more terrifying Calamity Demon Emperor?” Yun Che’s words were already exceptionally sharp.
“It’s different,” Zhou Tian Shen Di shook his head: “The strength of the Demon Emperor is such that even if we exhausted everything, there would be no hope of resistance. To survive, we have no choice but to submit. As for the Evil Infant… at least, there is still the possibility of destroying it and making it fall silent again.”
“I have already said that she is not controlled by the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel. Her will is the primary will. The things you worry about will never happen.”
“But it is the Evil Infant.” Zhou Tian Shen Di said: “Back then, it annihilated all true gods and true demons, completely changing the era and the structure of chaos. Everyone knows that its power is the most extreme and most terrifying negative power.”
“I believe what you say, and I also believe that it indeed takes Tiansha Xingshen as its master. But… Tiansha Xingshen was originally the most ruthless and bloodthirsty Star God among all. Her killing intent and bloodlust were already extremely heavy. Back then, how many Star Gods, Moon Gods, Guardians, Fan Kings, and even Yue Shen Di died by her hand.”
“If she were not controlled by the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel, then these people all died by her own will.”
Yun Che shook his head slightly and said in a somewhat soft voice: “If she were truly full of bloodlust and killing intent as you say, then why, for over three years, has she never appeared again and never killed a single person from the Divine Realm?”
Zhou Tian Shen Di was taken aback.
“If she were truly going to bring disaster to the world as you fear, does senior really think anyone in this world could stop her?”
Watching Zhou Tian Shen Di’s changing expression, Yun Che continued: “Even before her Evil Infant power awakened, her speed and concealment abilities were recognized as unmatched in the world. The vast Southern Divine Realm, even after successfully ambushing her, could not keep her.”
“In these three years, with Long Huang personally leading, the top forces from the three Divine Realms and all the King Realms have mobilized completely, yet from start to finish, they haven’t even brushed against her shadow. In other words, unless she chooses to appear, you will have almost no chance of finding her, let alone gathering forces to encircle her… is that not so?”
“…” Zhou Tian Shen Di’s expression shifted, but he could not deny it.
With Long Huang at the lead, all King Realms mobilized—they truly hadn’t even touched Mo Li’s sleeve.
“Then…” A strange light flashed in Yun Che’s eyes: “With her current power, if she wanted to vent her bloodlust and killing intent, if she wanted to bring disaster, she could simply wander across realms and slaughter. Not only lower, middle, and upper Star Realms, but even King Realms could suffer countless deaths in a short time. You might not even have time to react before she would perfectly conceal herself.”
“Thus, once, a hundred times, a thousand times… What can you do against her other than death, fear, and gradual decline?”
“…” Yun Che’s words were precisely the greatest fear that Zhou Tian Shen Di and all the King Realm powers had regarding the Evil Infant.
“But in reality, in these years, she has not killed a single person. Does senior think she doesn’t dare, or is it that she doesn’t want to!?”
Zhou Tian Shen Di’s lips moved, but in the end, he had no words to refute.
Since her shocking awakening and the killing of Yue Shen Di, the Evil Infant had not appeared again or killed anyone. But they would never believe—nor be willing to believe—that this was the Evil Infant’s mercy.
Now, hearing Yun Che’s description and the words that struck deeply at his greatest concerns, Zhou Tian Shen Di could no longer help but believe that Tiansha Xingshen’s will truly overrode the Evil Infant’s will. Otherwise… it would indeed be inexplicable.
“Although I come from a lower realm, I am well aware that the abhorrence of ‘demons’ among the people of the Divine Realm is deeply rooted and will not change overnight. The fear of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel is especially deeply ingrained in their bones. Regardless of whether they believe the Evil Infant has acknowledged a master, as long as it exists, the Divine Realm will forever be in turmoil and fear.”
Zhou Tian Shen Di showed surprise. He understood that Yun Che’s goal was to allow the Evil Infant to coexist peacefully in the world, so he didn’t know why he was saying these words instead.
“So, I can give a promise to senior and to the Divine Realm.”
Yun Che’s expression was more solemn than ever. He had thought about these words many, many times in the month since leaving the Tai Chu Divine Realm.
“After the matter of Demon Emperor senior is settled, the Evil Infant will leave the Divine Realm forever and go to the planet where I was born and where she and I first met. It will never return and will never kill anyone in the Divine Realm again… unless the Divine Realm provokes it first!”
As Yun Che had said earlier, no matter what the Evil Infant’s will was, as long as it existed in the Divine Realm, the people of the Divine Realm would never stop fearing and dreading it. It would also be impossible to predict what the people of the Divine Realm might do under that immense, persistent fear.
For Mo Li, aside from Cai Zhi, she had no other attachments or regrets left in the Divine Realm. Returning with him to the Lan Ji Star was also her greatest wish.
Thus, this was the best outcome he could think of.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Tian Shen Di suddenly raised his head and exclaimed excitedly: “Is… is that true!?”
