Against the Gods

Eastern God Territory, Eternal Sky God Realm, and the bottom of Eternal Sky Tower.

The place is gloomy, with only a few black jade emitting dim light.

Not only light, everything here is isolated from the outside world, including sound and even breath.

Even though this is the most important place in the Eternal Sky God Realm, no one is allowed to step in without the personal permission of the Eternal Sky God Emperor. But there are still layers of barriers spreading out.

In the center of the dark space, Zhou Qingchen sat there quietly. This is his 229th day here.

He remembers it very clearly, because every day here is longer than his past thousand years of life.

In the past several years of retreat, it was all done in meditation. But in just a few months, he felt that the passage of time was so terrible.

hum.

With a sound, the long-closed door was carefully and slowly pushed open, and the initial sound was completely eliminated immediately.

With the opening of the door, a ray of light came in. It was not strong, but Zhou Qingchen subconsciously raised his hand and stood in front of him.

Being imprisoned here, he should obviously yearn for light. However, these faint bright lights made him feel dazzling.

Because, now he is a devil.

"Father." Zhou Qingchen stood up and saluted in a proper manner.

Zhou Xuzi walked over slowly. In just a few months, he seemed to have aged a bit, but he still had a gentle smile on his face: "Qingchen, how are you doing?"

Zhou Qingchen said: "Back to father, in the past half month, the dark profound energy has not shown any signs of turmoil, and the child's heart has calmed down a lot."

"That's good." Zhou Xuzi nodded with a smile: "The situation is much better than expected, which also shows that the ancestors have always been secretly protecting you. Therefore, you must firmly believe that the darkness on your body will be purified one day."

This time, Zhou Qingchen did not respond as before, but suddenly said: "Father, my child has been meditating during this time, and some thoughts have sprouted in my heart... maybe I shouldn't have thoughts, I don't know if I should or not. Ask your father."

"Hehe, if you have anything to say, just ask." Zhou Xuzi said. What happened to Zhou Qingchen today is rooted in him. Under the pain and deep guilt in his heart, his attitude towards Zhou Qingchen is much gentler than before.

"My child wants to ask..." Just as he was about to speak,

Zhou Qingchen still hesitated, facing his father's gentle eyes, he finally asked: "Is the dark profound strength really so unforgivable?"

"Oh?" Zhou Xuzi frowned slightly, but still maintained a gentle smile, and said with a smile: "Dark profound power is a symbol of negative power. When there is no dark profound power in the world, there will be no evil power. Especially inheritance We who have the power of the gods, get rid of the dark profound power in the world, is a mission that goes without saying, but has been carried on from generation to generation."

"Why do you suddenly ask this question?"

Zhou Qingchen heard these words from Zhou Xuzi when he first practiced Xuan Dao, and heard many people say them countless times. He never questioned it, because that is the basic cognition like fire and water are incompatible.

Facing his father's gaze, he uttered his most genuine doubts: "The devil with the dark profound power will be dehumanized by the dark profound power, become fierce, bloodthirsty and cruel, and will not hesitate to do anything for his own benefit. …Dark profound power is a heresy in the world, as a profound practitioner in the God Realm, no matter you encounter demons, beasts, or spirits, you must do your best to destroy them.”

"So, after I became a demon, I was always afraid, fearing that I would become a monster with gradually losing my humanity and no conscience."

Zhou Xuzi: "..."

He raised his hands, and a layer of black air slowly rose in his palms while the profound energy was running. His ten fingers did not tremble, and his eyes and voice remained calm: "It has been more than seven months, and the frequency of the dark profound energy riots is getting higher and higher. The lower and lower, my body has fully adapted to its existence, and compared to the original, I am now a real devil."

"But..." He slowly closed his eyes: "Why, I don't feel that I have become such a beast. My reason and my sense of guilt still exist clearly. What I didn't want to do or couldn't do before, now Still don’t want to do it, can’t do it.”

"The only negative change that can be clearly felt is that when the dark profound energy riots, the emotions will also become irritable..."

He raised his hands a little more, and the dark profound energy between his fingers became more intense: "Father, is the dark profound power not so terrible? We have always known dark profound power and demons... Wasn't it wrong from the start?"

"enough!"

An angry reprimand dispelled all the gentleness on Zhou Xuzi's face. As the god emperor who upholds the most righteous way in the world and takes the obliteration of darkness and evil as his lifelong mission, he can't believe it, can't accept such words, and actually accepts such words from his own son, from the one he personally chose. Said from the mouth of Eternal Sky's successor.

That is more than treason!

Zhou Xuzi, who rarely gets angry, raised his eyebrows, and was about to slap... But when his eyes touched the black air in Zhou Qingchen's hands, his eyes trembled, and he suppressed the surging anger, and stretched out his palms. Out, the dark breath released by Zhou Qingchen disappeared in an instant.

"Qingchen, how can you say such a thing." Zhou Xuzi forcibly maintained a calm expression, but his voice trembled slightly: "Darkness is a heresy that cannot survive in the world, here is the eternal principle! It is the teaching of the ancestors! It is the way of heaven!"

Facing Zhou Xuzi's reprimand, Zhou Qingchen, who was usually respectful and obedient, suddenly took a step back, his voice was a few minutes heavier than before: "If darkness is really an evil that cannot be tolerated in the world, then why... Jietian Devil Emperor would do it for you?" Sacrifice yourself, sacrifice the whole family!"

"Why would the Heavenly Slaughter Star God, who controls the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, show up to block the Wall of Chaos at the risk of being besieged!"

"Why would Yun Che, who possesses dark profound strength, face the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor alone in order to save the world..."

"shut up!"

Snapped!

Flicking up the long sleeves, a heavy slap sent Zhou Qingchen far away. Zhou Xuzi's hair and beard stood on end, trembling all over his body: "Qingchen, you...do you know what you are talking about! You are already crazy! You have begun to be eroded by the dark profound power to eat away at your reason and nature! Give me a good sobriety!"

"Cough... cough cough." Zhou Qingchen supported the wall, slowly got up, wiped the blood on the corner of his mouth with his fingers, lowered his head, and said slowly: "People who are not awake will only be crazy and talk nonsense. And what the boy said just now is what the father and the boy have seen and experienced with their own eyes..."

"I can't stop talking!!"

boom!

Blood flowed from Zhou Xuzi's whole body, the mysterious jade under his feet burst into large pieces, and powder flew across.

Zhou Qingchen's long hair was loose and he was panting violently. Slowly, he knelt down with his head drooping: "The child made a slip of the tongue and offended... Father, please forgive me."

For Zhou Qingchen, the darkest two hundred days have become his most sober period.

Only by bearing the darkness can one truly understand the darkness.

Perhaps, this is the most cruel part of Yun Che's first revenge against Eternal Sky.

Not only destroying the body of this Eternal Sky successor, but also destroying the faith he has always believed in and steadfastly held.

Drops of blood slowly fell from the corners of Zhou Qingchen's lips, every drop pierced Zhou Xuzi's heart and soul, all his anger was replaced by stinging pain, he sighed, walked forward slowly, pointed out with his fingers, Xuan Guang With a light flash, the red mark on Zhou Qingchen's face has faded away.

"Qingchen," he said slowly, "don't worry, I have found a way to restore you. No matter what, no matter what the cost, I will definitely do it."

"This is a promise from a father, to his most important son."

"My child... believe in the father." Zhou Qingchen responded softly, but his head was always buried under the hair and did not lift up.

Zhou Xuzi turned around and left, his steps were silent but heavy.

Walking out of the barriers, Zhou Xuzi did not leave the Eternal Sky Tower, but went to the lowest level, which is also the most secret place in the Eternal Sky God Realm.

There is where the Eternal Sky Pearl is.

However, his footsteps are sometimes heavy and sometimes erratic.

"The teachings of the ancestors... Eternal Sky's aspirations... what I have been asking for all my life... what I have been fighting for half my life... how could it be wrong, how could it be wrong..." He muttered, over and over again.

During this time, he came to Eternal Sky Pearl again and again, hoping that he could recall some ancient memories and find a way to save Zhou Qingchen. But every time I got the answer, "If Yun Che can force it, it is possible to remove it...and it is the only possibility."

Just as he was about to step into the forbidden area where the Eternal Sky Pearl was located, someone in his heart and soul suddenly came through voice transmission.

The sound transmission made him stop, his whole body was shaken violently, he turned around violently, and flew away at an extremely fast speed.

After leaving the Eternal Sky Tower, Venerable Taiyu was already waiting for him in the main hall. Zhou Xuzi fell straight in front of him, and said in a heavy voice: "Taiyu, is what you said true!?"

"It's absolutely true." Venerable Taiyu nodded slowly. With his honor, if he wasn't 100% sure, even if he was only 99% sure, he wouldn't say the word "truly true".

"Do you know the details?" Zhou Xuzi asked.

Venerable Taiyu shook his head: "The details are hard to know. Yun Che has indeed fallen into the hands of the Queen of the Soul Stealer, and Yan Mojie has asked the Queen to excel because of this."

"Yan Mojie?" Zhou Xuzi frowned slightly.

"Well." Venerable Taiyu said: "Although Yun Che bears dark profound power, to the Northern God Territory, he is a member of the Eastern God Territory after all. They have hated the Eastern God Territory since ancient times. After they recognize Yun Che, they will naturally regarded as foreign heresy."

"In addition to the inheritance of the evil god and the Sky Poison Pearl on his body, the king realm level of the Northern God Territory may also hear about it. Therefore, once Yun Che reveals his identity in the Northern God Territory, it will not be easy."

"He appeared in the God Realm of Absolute Beginning before, so he should have exposed his identity. He was forced to escape into the God Realm of Absolute Beginning in order to escape from the pursuit. After hurting Qingchen and revealing his whereabouts, he was forced to flee back to the Northern God Realm."

"Before he fell into the hands of the Demon Queen, he seemed to have deeply offended her. As for Yan Mo, he killed a very important person. From this point of view, although Yun Che's strength changes are really strange, but in the Northern God Territory It's also besieged on all sides."

Such a result is not surprising at all, no matter because of Yun Che's identity or the secrets in him.

Zhou Xuzi thought for a while, and said, "What time is it?"

"It should be a month ago." Venerable Taiyu said, and then frowned: "The devil queen clearly agreed to this matter, but after she got it, there was no movement for a whole month. Maybe she took Yun Che down After all, she had no intention of 'trading' him at all. After all, how could she let go of Yun Che's secrets!"

"No," Zhou Xuzi shook his head slowly: "Secrets are just secrets after all. They cannot be seen or touched. But she can't refuse my bargaining chip. Besides, what I propose is only to force Yun Che to undo Zhou Qingchen's body. Darkness, promised not to kill him suddenly or bring him back to the Eastern God Territory... She has no reason to refuse."

"She is sure that I will get news sooner or later, and wait until I take the initiative to contact her."

Venerable Taiyu sighed softly, he knew that even if he fell into complete passivity, Zhou Xuzi would definitely submit.

"After the devil, she is cunning and greedy. The more eager I am, the more she will ask for prices... But Qingchen can't wait. His sanity has begun to be eroded by the darkness. One more day will be more uncertain. If it is too late, I am afraid There is a completely irreversible possibility, hey." Zhou Xuzi's face was full of exhaustion: "But fortunately, she really took Yun Che down."

Venerable Taiyu looked at Zhou Xuzi and said, "But it seems that the Lord is not too worried about this transaction."

Zhou Xuzi looked ahead and said slowly: "She can't refuse that bargaining chip. No one... can refuse."

Venerable Taiyu frowned deeply, and asked, "My lord, what is the bargaining chip you are using?"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, and he said in a surprised voice: "Could it be... Could it be..."

Zhou Xuzi closed his eyes and said nothing.

The shock was fixed on Venerable Taiyu's face, and it took a long time to slow down. With a long sigh, he said: "My lord has spent half his life for Eternal Sky, and he should live for himself once."

Zhou Xuzi said slowly: "After this incident, I will no longer be the emperor of Eternal Sky. Qingchen will pay the price by himself."

"Taiyu...Thank you for your words just now." He said sincerely. Although Venerable Taiyu only said a short sentence, to him, it was a great spiritual comfort.

Venerable Taiyu smiled and shook his head: "Why do you need such redundant words between you and my brothers. However, the devil queen is not only cunning, but also has a strange and terrifying soul power. I have learned it back then. Be careful."

"Don't worry." Zhou Xuzi said: "If I'm not thorough enough, how can I step into the border of the Northern Territory. Before that, how to hide my whereabouts is the most important thing... Taiyu, please."

"Don't worry, Lord."

Putting away the sound-proof barrier, Taiyu left. In his memory, after Zhou Xuzi became emperor, this was the first time that he was truly selfish.

Perhaps, only Zhou Qingchen can make him do this.
