# Chapter 1514: Intention to Depart
Under the personal escort of the Zhou Tian Crown Prince, they quickly arrived at the main hall area. Zhou Qingcheng bid farewell to Yun Che, saying: "Father is within. If Divine Son Yun wishes, you may go see him. If you have other places to go, you are free to do so. Additionally, Father has personally decreed that from now on, whatever request Divine Son Yun may have, even if it requires exhausting the entire realm's strength, we will never fail to fulfill it. So please, Divine Son Yun, do not stand on ceremony."
Yun Che: "Uh…"
"Qingcheng takes his leave." The Zhou Tian Crown Prince performed a bow, then departed with an easy demeanor.
After walking some distance, he finally looked back, glancing at Qianye Ying'er from afar, then sighed to the heavens: "Though Yun Che is still immature now, his potential is boundless. In the future, he will surely tower above all living beings. With a halo of glory upon him, he is indeed the one most worthy of her."
"But... why a slave, why a slave…"
"Father went against his long-held principles to acknowledge this... and even personally witnessed it. Is it also to sever my thoughts?"
Those in the Eastern Divine Region who were noble in status, lofty in position, and considered themselves qualified to approach the Fandi Divine Maiden were all obsessed with her to the point of madness. Zhou Qingcheng, restrained by his nature, was the most reserved of them all.
But the Fandi Divine Maiden... had become Yun Che's slave!
Not a wife, not a concubine, not even a servant, but the most humiliating, lowly, degrading slave without even a shred of self-respect!
When this news had spread rapidly under the push of the Yue Shen Realm, it had sparked countless shocks and rages... But at that time, Yun Che was backed by the Jie Tian Mo Di. Who dared to do anything? Even the Fan Di Divine Realm, even Nanming Shen Di, who was the most infatuated with Qianye Ying'er, had to swallow their anger.
Now, with the Jie Tian Mo Di about to leave, he had gained the Evil Infant by his side! On top of his merit in saving the world, everyone owed him a debt of salvation. What could anyone do?
After Zhou Qingcheng left, Yun Che turned to look at Qianye Ying'er and said: "Another one... You really have ruined quite a few Divine Son-level figures."
Zhou Qingcheng had glanced at her very discreetly at first, and later his gaze had tilted in Qianye Ying'er's direction several more times. Though he held back each time with no change in expression, Yun Che had noticed.
"Reserved in nature, with a hint of cowardice, and his thinking as stubborn as his father's. Not worthy of my regard." Qianye Ying'er spoke without any emotion.
As if the dignified Zhou Tian Crown Prince, the future Zhou Tian Shen Di, was not even qualified for her to give a second glance.
"Then in your eyes, what man in this world is worthy of your regard? Tianlang Xi Su?" Yun Che asked.
"He's also not worthy." Qianye Ying'er replied without a moment's hesitation: "Only Master."
Yun Che touched his chin, shifting his gaze away from Qianye Ying'er: "Too bad you're not worthy of me!"
Qianye Ying'er: "..."
"Hehe, it must be Divine Son Yun who has arrived."
A warm voice carried from afar. Having sensed Yun Che's aura, the Zhou Tian Shen Di had already taken the initiative to come out. His figure flickered, and he stood before Yun Che, looking at him with a smile and eyes full of kindness.
The Zhou Tian Shen Di's mental state had changed greatly compared to before, naturally due to the lifting of the calamity.
"Senior."
Just as Yun Che was about to bow, the Zhou Tian Shen Di reached out to stop him, saying: "In my Zhou Tian from now on, you need not observe any formalities. Just now, you must have met my son Qingcheng."
Yun Che nodded: "This junior and His Highness had a pleasant conversation."
"That's good." The Zhou Tian Shen Di smiled and nodded: "I have placed great hopes on him. Having him approach you this time is also out of selfish motives. I hope that in the future, you might guide him a little, letting him absorb some of your qualities and divine light."
Yun Che's brow twitched, and he quickly said: "His Highness the Crown Prince far surpasses this junior in birth, status, cultivation, experience... I cannot possibly bear such words, Senior."
The Zhou Tian Shen Di shook his head with a laugh: "Months ago, you revealed your Light Profound Force, and I also saw your compassionate heart. At the time, I was merely comforted and relieved. Who would have thought that in just a few short months, you would save the Divine Realm, save this era, and leave behind immortal merit for ten thousand generations."
"The claim of a 'sacred heart' does not deceive me."
"Uh..." Yun Che's face twisted: "This junior is merely a mundane person."
At these words, the appreciation on the Zhou Tian Shen Di's face deepened even further. He sighed softly: "To possess a sacred heart and perform deeds of salvation, yet not be arrogant about your achievements—instead remaining so peaceful, humble, and clear-minded. If Qingcheng could have even half... no, even thirty percent of your qualities, I would have no regrets in this life."
Yun Che: o((⊙﹏⊙))o
*(Looks like I'll have to interact with Zhou Qingcheng more in the future. I hope... I don't lead him astray.)*
"Speaking of which... Divine Son Yun," the Zhou Tian Shen Di lowered his voice slightly: "I wonder if the Jie Tian Mo Di..."
Yun Che said: "This junior has spent the past few days in the Tai Chu Divine Realm and Yin Xue Realm and has not seen Senior Mo Di. If Senior Mo Di has instructions, she will appear on her own. Otherwise, I cannot meet with her either. But Senior, rest assured—Senior Mo Di's word is as solid as a mountain. She will certainly not go back on it."
"Mm." The Zhou Tian Shen Di nodded, the slight anxiety on his face easing a little. He then asked: "And the Evil Infant... is she truly willing to remain in the lower realm forever?"
Yun Che nodded: "I once said, this is my wish and also hers. Staying in the lower realm is not a constraint for her. But as I said before, please do not approach or disturb her from now on, until she is gradually forgotten... It would be best if the entire Divine Realm forgets her existence entirely."
"I also promise you again, Senior, that she will never actively approach or offend the Divine Realm. If one day she must return to the Divine Realm for necessary reasons, I will inform you in advance and offer the utmost sincerity and guarantees."
"Of course I trust your words." The Zhou Tian Shen Di said: "You are one with a sacred heart, placing the safety of the world first. If you were not certain, how could you make such a promise?"
Yun Che: *(Here we go again...)*
"Alas," the Zhou Tian Shen Di turned his gaze to the distance: "Now, the Zhou Tian realm and even all the realms are peaceful. The shadows that once loomed have all dispersed, and the aura of fear can no longer be felt."
"News of the Mo Di's return to the world has always been kept under wraps, and with the Mo Di's command, no one dared to spread it. Thus, only a few know of it. But the existence of the Evil Infant is known to all living beings in the Divine Realm. After the Mo Di leaves, the Divine Realm will still be under the shadow of the Evil Infant's presence, never finding peace."
"But to eliminate her... is truly harder than reaching the heavens."
The Zhou Tian Shen Di had personally fought the Evil Infant back then, and he knew this well. If the Evil Infant fought them to the death, they could unite their top powers to destroy her... But unless she herself wanted to die, such a situation could never occur.
And if she wanted to leave, even the combined strength of all God Emperors from the three divine regions could not stop her.
This meant that the three divine regions might forever sink under the shadow of the Evil Infant. As long as she wished, she could silently move through the darkness, killing one by one, or even group by group, burying the people of various king realms, even the God Emperors themselves, in the abyss of death.
Thus, over the years, every time the God Emperors thought of the words "Evil Infant," they shuddered with fear. They dreaded that she might suddenly appear in some shadow beside them.
And now, because of Yun Che, the Evil Infant's existence had shifted from an unknown shadow to a known world, and there was a promise of mutual non-aggression with the Divine Realm... More importantly, it was Yun Che's promise.
Yun Che's goal was to save Mo Li, to keep her from living only in the shadows. But wasn't this also saving the Divine Realm and calming countless trembling, fearful hearts?
"When you said that the Evil Infant was actually dominated by Tian Sha Xing Shen, and that she promised to leave the Divine Realm forever, I was overjoyed and immediately agreed, eagerly announcing it publicly and making corresponding promises... It had been too long since my heart felt so light. This is almost the most relaxed I've ever been in my life."
"It's hard to imagine what state the Divine Realm would be in without you."
As he spoke, his gaze drifted to Qianye Ying'er in the distance... the one who had nearly killed Yun Che. When he had witnessed the slave mark for her and Yun Che, he had agreed but still harbored some reservations.
But now, he was beginning to feel that Qianye Ying'er's current situation was practically a form of grace!
"However, after seeing off the Mo Di, you should also be living in the lower realm for a long time, right?" the Zhou Tian Shen Di said, a hint of regret and reluctance in his eyes.
"Yes." Yun Che nodded. Thinking of Mu Xuanyin, who no longer wished to see him, his heart suddenly ached, and his expression stiffened briefly: "To be honest, Senior, when I first entered the Divine Realm, it was to find her. Now that my wish is fulfilled, I have... too many lingering attachments in the Divine Realm."
"Additionally, with me by Mo Li's side, I believe you, Senior, and everyone else will be more at ease."
"That is true, but... alas," the Zhou Tian Shen Di sighed again: "The lower realm has turbid air and scarce resources. Cultivation will be slower and lifespan will be affected. Also, I heard that next month you will marry the little princess of the Liuguang Realm. If you don't return often, the Liuguang Realm King will surely be displeased, hehe."
"Uh..." Clearly, that old fellow Shui Qianheng had already eagerly leaked the news: "This junior has never forgotten your care and kindness, Senior. In the future, I will visit you and His Highness the Crown Prince regularly."
"Mm." Though regretful, the Zhou Tian Shen Di no longer tried to persuade or retain him. Just as Yun Che himself had said, having him by the Evil Infant's side was the most reassuring. He gestured toward the main hall: "All the God Emperors are in the hall, including Yue Shen Di. Would you like to enter for a chat?"
"Is Senior Long Huang also there?" Yun Che asked.
The Zhou Tian Shen Di nodded.
"Alright!" Yun Che nodded. Just as he was about to step forward, he stopped and said: "Better not. Even if I am acknowledged, in the end, I am merely a junior of low status. I dare not sit at the same table as the God Emperors."
Before the Zhou Tian Shen Di could invite him again, Yun Che changed the subject and asked: "When will the dimensional array heading to the chaotic eastern extreme open?"
"Six hours from now," the Zhou Tian Shen Di said.
"Alright, this junior will go wait there. Farewell."
Yun Che had initially agreed, then suddenly refused. It was clearly not for the reason he casually gave... Watching his departing figure, the Zhou Tian Shen Di showed a puzzled expression, lost in thought. Then he muttered to himself with a sigh: "Not only does he have a sacred heart and save the world, but he is also so free and easy. If only Qingcheng had even a tenth of his qualities. I wonder what kind of parents he has, to have given birth to such a heaven-sent son."
"Lan... Ji... Xing..." He softly recited the name of a planet, wondering if he should visit it someday. But thinking of the Evil Infant's existence, he ultimately dismissed the idea.
His identity was too special. If he personally visited, strictly speaking, it would be a violation of the promise. If it provoked the Evil Infant's wrath and broke the hard-won balance, he would become a great sinner.
