The important part of the White Emperor's question was not in 'Which of your students will lead the Human race', but in 'When you die'.
The White Emperor was not interested in using Chen Changsheng and Yu Ren to provoke Shang Xingzhou.
He had frankly, nakedly, revealed his bottom line to Shang Xingzhou.
If Shang Xingzhou insisted on killing the Demon Lord, then Shang Xingzhou would come away from today with heavy injuries, or perhaps not walk away at all.
This naturally led to the question of which of his students the Human race would be passed to.
Why had the White Emperor so confidently asked this question?
Shang Xingzhou understood. Everything arose from the still-unmentioned Madam Mu.
She had been standing high in the clouds the entire time with no intention of leaving.
No matter how one looked at it, the betrayed White Emperor could not possibly forgive Madam Mu.
But Shang Xingzhou knew that the White Emperor could change his stance at any time, even if he would feel disgusted when doing it.
”Some people will live, and some people will die.”
Shang Xingzhou stared into the White Emperor's eyes as he spoke.
The gray cobblestones cracked as a wave of Qi emerged from the street and knocked over a row of houses.
Countless gazes looked over. They saw Shang Xingzhou, but they did not see the White Emperor.
The White Emperor arrived high in the clouds.
He quietly stood across from Madam Mu.
”You've finished negotiating with Shang?”
Madam Mu seemed like she was asking about a very ordinary and trifling matter.
The White Emperor's answer was also very casual. ”The Demon Lord will live.”
Madam Mu looked to the west. ”At times, I also wonder about how all this began.”
”Perhaps it's because you've always loved your homeland? Everything originates from one's own choices, like the choice you made three years ago.”
The White Emperor added, ”I didn't expect that in this play of husband and wife, you really did intend on putting me in my grave.”
Madam Mu indifferently said, ”In my entire life, I have never met anyone more hypocritical than you. At this time, you still say these sorts of things.”
The White Emperor smiled. ”Did you not use the strength of the seas to seal me into my palace mausoleum?”
Madam Mu turned and looked into his eyes. ”Did you not choose yourself the place of your seclusion?”
The White Emperor did not answer, instead asking, ”When did you confirm that I was still alive?”
Madam Mu replied, ”On that night Old Xiang went to the Starfall Mountains and came back saying that he had sensed your will.”
The White Emperor asked, ”Did you not request that he do this?”
Madam Mu answered, ”This is about Luoheng's marriage. Even if I requested it of him, he would not dare agree without your approval.”
”I don't understand what you mean.”
The White Emperor continued, ”If I remember correctly, he should have defected to your side two years ago.”
Madam Mu jeered, ”If my guess is right, this is something that you should have arranged for him to do three years ago.”
Countless years ago, the entire continent believed that the White Emperor and Madam Mu deeply loved each other, a Saint husband and wife envied across the world.
No one could have expected that they had never trusted each other. It was a normal thing for husband to deceive wife, wife to trick husband.
The White Emperor asked, ”Why did you doubt him?”
