Chapter 1871: Doubts about the Evil Infant
"The Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword was last seen in the ancient Dragon God Realm, and to prevent it from being seized by the demon race, it was thrown into the Reincarnation Well," Qianye Ying'er suddenly said. "This rumor has been recorded in the Fan Di God Realm and many other king realms. It seems to be true without a doubt."
"But who would have thought that within the Ancestral Heavenly-Slaying Sword, the daughter of the ancient Dragon God was also sealed."
"...Many people must have searched for it based on this, right?" Yun Che asked.
"If it were any other star realm, every patch of ground would have been turned over ten million times," Qianye Ying'er said calmly. "But this is the Dragon God Realm. Who would dare to intrude? However, the Dragon God Realm itself should never have ceased searching, especially in the Reincarnation Forbidden Land."
"But even if the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword is found, what then? It requires its recognition to use the Ancestral Divine Power, and when the Ancestral Divine Power is released, it will backlash against the user."
"All beings in the present world are mortals beneath the gods. Forcing the power of the Ancestral Sword would surely annihilate oneself instantly. So even if the sword's might could destroy heaven and earth, what meaning would it have?"
"Of course it would," Yun Che said in a low voice. "To bury myself in exchange for destroying heaven and earth—four years ago, I would not have hesitated."
Qianye Ying'er's golden brows sank slightly, then she gently exhaled through her lips and slowly relaxed her brows. "This so-called number one supreme treasure, in the eyes of many, is not worth a single hair of yours... In any future moment, if you ever have such thoughts again, remember this sentence."
Yun Che turned his eyes and gave Qianye Ying'er a strange look.
Qianye Ying'er instantly turned her jade-like face away and said in a stiff tone, "I am saying this on behalf of your wives and daughters."
"I understand. I will remember it," Yun Che nodded lightly.
"..." Yun Che's serious, almost obedient reply caused Qianye Ying'er's lips to part slightly and her golden eyes to ripple gently. For a moment, she did not know how to respond.
Yun Che's gaze fell back onto the Dragon God ancient text.
That the Dragon God's daughter was sealed into the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword—Yun Che had already known this back in the Tian Xuan Continent.
From the narration and entrustment of the remnant soul of the Primordial Azure Dragon, what he did back then was to transform his daughter into the sword spirit of the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword, and it was very likely successful.
If it had failed, he would have been utterly disheartened and would not have stubbornly persisted to the present world.
Within the Dragon God Seal of the Dragon God clan, a wisp of Ancestral Divine Power was sealed. This was probably the greatest secret of the ancient Dragon God clan.
After all, that was the supreme power beyond the Primordial Chaos level. Using this Ancestral Divine Power as a medium, connecting to the space of the Ancestral Sword, merging with the consciousness of the Ancestral Sword, transforming the Dragon God's daughter into the Ancestral Sword Spirit...
Under enough perfect compatibility, He Ling easily became the spirit of the Heavenly Poison Pearl and the Zhou Tian Pearl... In contrast, the Primordial Azure Dragon's operation could indeed succeed in theory.
But after all, that was the Ancestral Sword, at a level higher than the Heavenly Poison Pearl and the Zhou Tian Pearl. The final outcome is unknown to anyone.
But one thing is certain: as a truly supreme Ancestral existence, no power in any era could truly destroy the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword.
In other words, if the Dragon God's daughter had successfully become the Ancestral Sword Spirit back then, then she would also have become an eternal existence at the same time.
She must have existed with the Ancestral Heaven-Slaying Sword until now.
Unless she voluntarily left.
But if she had successfully coexisted with the Ancestral Sword, why had she never appeared in all these years, nor ever sought the Dragon God's remnant soul that had been waiting for her for a million years...
And...
Reincarnation Well...
Reincarnation Forbidden Land...
Dragon God's daughter...
Under the Life Creation God...
Reincarnation Forbidden Land...
Life Miracle...
...
No... impossible...
Without the power of the Ancestral Sword, and even less could she have been harmed by Long Bai... Too absurd, it couldn't be her...
Yun Che involuntarily shook his head... dispelling the immortal silhouette in his mind that inexplicably overlapped with everything vague.
But if... just if... forcibly setting aside all unreasonableness and absurdity, it really is her.
Then... could she still exist in this world... even if in some form that present-day people cannot understand...
"Yun Che... Yun Che!!"
Several calls at his ear finally woke Yun Che from his daze.
"What are you spacing out for?"
"...Thinking about the whereabouts of the Ancestral Sword," Yun Che said.
"Hmph!" Qianye Ying'er gave a cold snort. "The way you looked just now, you were clearly thinking of some woman!"
Yun Che: "..."
Amid her angry sound, Qianye Ying'er suddenly reached out, pressed Yun Che to sit on the ground rather unkindly, and then a fragrant breeze brushed, her skirt ribbons fluttered, and warm jade pressed against his chest. Qianye Ying'er was already sitting on his left thigh, her long jade legs curved over his right knee, and the breath from her lips, with a somewhat domineering soft tone, directly touched Yun Che's ears: "With me by your side, you cannot think of other women."
Since Long Bai was dead and she knew that Lan Ji Star was safe, Qianye Ying'er had clearly become bolder in front of him... Yun Che gave her a faint white look, extended his hand, and casually lifted her long skirt, revealing a section of snow-white, radiant thigh.
Yun Che's five fingers followed the delicate, slender curves straight into the depths of her skirt, his hand full of plump, smooth jade-like softness, so that even the most flawless white jade in the world could not compare to a fraction of it.
Watching the shape of a large hand undulating under her skirt, Qianye Ying'er lightly bit her jade lips, her beautiful eyes becoming hazy. When she looked up, she found Yun Che's gaze had fallen back onto the Dragon God ancient text, and she became secretly annoyed in her heart. In a fit of pique, she used the tip of her tongue to poke his ear hard.
"Stop it," Yun Che said, one hand roaming wantonly under Qianye Ying'er's skirt, the other hand lightly flipping through the ancient text.
[Second Supreme Treasure: Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel]
"Born from the dark side of the Chaos core, a terrifying demon wheel possessing extreme yin and extreme evil power. It is rumored to have condensed all negative forces derived from the beginning of Chaos, and there is also a rumor that its power is the 'inverse' of Ancestral Divine Power. When fully unleashed, the demon wheel's power rivals that of the Ancestral Sword."
"The Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel has existed until now without ever having a true master."
"According to demon race records: The four Demon Emperors all attempted to master the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel, but all failed and were all injured by it."
"Its spirit, the Evil Infant, is temperamental, capricious, wild, unruly, fierce, and violent. It cannot be controlled, nor can it be predicted. It has caused countless disasters, and over time, it will become a great calamity."
"Fortunately, its temperament was like that of a young child, with weak mental defenses, and it was easily lured into a great array set up by the Four Demon Emperors and many demon gods, where they suddenly sealed it before its Evil Infant power could erupt, cutting off future trouble."
"The Four Demon Emperors mutually vowed that unless faced with an overwhelming calamity, they would never release the seal of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel."
Temperamental, capricious, wild, unruly, fierce, and violent?
Yun Che frowned slightly.
In the Tai Chu Divine Realm, he had come into contact with the Evil Infant more than once through Mo Li.
Its appearance, voice, and way of speaking were indeed those of a female child. Although its temper was not so good, its pouty, childish voice was quite cute. It did not feel like it had any sinister or terrifying aura, especially in front of Mo Li, where it was particularly well-behaved and obedient to her.
As for the reason for destroying the world back then, it answered angrily that it was because it had been sealed for no reason for countless years... With that many years of anger, how could it not vent?
At least, the Evil Infant that Yun Che had seen and heard about was hard to associate with 'temperamental, capricious, wild, unruly, fierce, and violent.'
Was the record wrong, or...
Had the Evil Infant beside Mo Li been pretending all along!?
However, which was true and which was false no longer mattered. Whether Mo Li or the Evil Infant, both had departed from this world forever.
"...At the start of the fierce battle, the God race retreated. However, although the world no longer had the Heaven-Slaying God Emperor, the Heaven-Slaying God Clan under him and the Guardian God Clan all revealed their hidden ferocity... The fall of the Life Creation God incited the fury of all races across heaven and earth, and they jointly attacked the Demon race... The Order Creation God used himself as bait, trapping himself and the three Demon Emperors together in the Zhou Tian Thousand Realms..."
"The Demon race was defeated, until they collapsed completely... The Demon Emperor still had not escaped from the Zhou Tian Thousand Realms... In desperation, the leaderless and hopeless Demon race actually released the seal of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel..."
"The Evil Infant descended upon the world, demons wailed and heavens wept."
"...The Evil Infant used the Eternal Night Demon as a puppet, seized the Heavenly Poison Pearl, locked onto all divine and demonic auras in the world, and released 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion'..."
"...A nightmare that could not be described in any words..."
"The Zhou Tian Pearl collapsed... The Order Creation God and the three Demon Emperors could not escape either... How tragic."
"Death... Destruction... Or perhaps the end..."
"Perhaps... only the Evil God, with the Cosmic Thorn, could escape this calamity... Only hope that the Evil God... becomes the final hope for the continuation of the God race..."
"..."
The records about the later part of the Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel were filled with gloom and despair.
If at that time, the Cosmic Thorn was still in the Evil God's hands, the Evil God might really have escaped this calamity.
However, no one in the world knew that the Evil God's Cosmic Thorn and the Jie Tian Mo Di's Heavenly Poison Pearl had been exchanged as tokens of their love. And after Jie Tian Mo Di was exiled, the Evil God, before retreating in utter despair and gloom, returned the Heavenly Poison Pearl to the demon race under Jie Tian Mo Di's command.
Thus, the Evil God could not escape the world-destroying calamity and ultimately fell under 'Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion.' Before his fall, he resealed the power-depleted Evil Infant Myriad Calamity Wheel and its puppet, the Eternal Night Demon (Shiyue Mojun), and left behind a legacy to save future generations.
And the Jie Tian Mo Di, whom everyone thought had perished, survived in the Outer Chaos space because of the Cosmic Thorn, and eventually returned to the world.
Truly, the heavens are unpredictable, and fate plays tricks.
"Phew..." Yun Che let out a light breath, his heart filled with complex emotions. He raised his hand to sniff the fragrance on his palm, then reached back under Qianye Ying'er's skirt, and continued to focus on the records that followed:
[Third Supreme Treasure: Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal]
"Born from the core of Chaos, derived from the most primitive Primordial Chaos Qi, its energy is connected to the Primordial Chaos universe. If Primordial Chaos does not die, it is eternally indestructible. Living beings bathed in its Primordial Chaos Qi can have endless lifespan and live forever."
"It was controlled by the Life Creation God, ensuring her eternal life."
"...The Life Creation God fell, and the Primordial Chaos Life-Death Seal vanished without a trace. The world all says it fell into the hands of the Nine Calamity Demon race... A thousand regrets, ten thousand sorrows."
[Fourth Supreme Treasure: Zhou Tian Pearl]
"Born from a primal time fissure, it contains endless space, forms its own world, and operates a time law independent of Chaos. It is rumored that it can also forcibly interfere with and disrupt the time law of the Chaos world."
"It was controlled by the Order Creation God,"
"..."
"...The Order Creation God used himself as bait, trapping himself and the three Demon Emperors together in the Zhou Tian Thousand Realms..."
"...Under Myriad Tribulations of Oblivion, the divine realm of the Zhou Tian Pearl collapsed, and its divine power was destroyed..."
"Unknown whether in future time and space, the once Zhou Tian divine light can bloom again."
