Chapter 1520 - Darkness (1/2)

“Yun Che,” the Dragon Monarch looked at Yun Che and said, “the Evil Infant’s Wheel of Myriad Tribulations is an ultimate evil that once slaughtered even the gods and devils into extinction, and it is definitely beyond the current world’s ability to control! Her very existence is an infinitely dangerous time bomb that may erupt into the worst calamity at any moment. No one can guarantee that this would never happen as long as the Evil Infant still remained in this world, even if we assume that the Heavenly Slaughter Star God is in control!”

“The destruction of the Era of Gods itself is a warning our predecessors left behind in blood!”

“The Eternal Heaven God Emperor did not just kill the Evil Infant, he wiped away the biggest calamity in this world. He has my greatest respect, and he should be praised for his actions.”

“It was wrong of you to support the Evil Infant in the first place, but now you even want the kill the Eternal Heaven God Emperor for her? How disappointing!”

After the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor and the Evil Infant were gone, the Dragon Monarch had become the world’s supreme ruler once more.

His words represented the highest power of the world.

A strange atmosphere was spreading where the crimson crack had disappeared not long ago. Xia Qingyue secretly sighed while frowning deeply.

Yun Che’s biggest support had never been his messiah status, but the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, the Evil Infant, her, and the Eternal Heaven God Emperor.

Even with the departure of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, Yun Che still should’ve been the crownless king no one dared to offend because of the Evil Infant.

However, a turning point no one could predict had not only resulted in the eternal departure of the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, but also the Evil Infant’s exile from the Primal Chaos.

Even Yun Che’s closest ally, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor had turned into the person he hated the most...

Yun Che laughed coldly and sorrowfully in response, “When I made the promise on Jasmine’s behalf to stay in the lower realms forever, why did none of you accuse me of collusion with the Evil Infant!?”

“It’s true that she’s carrying the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations in her, but it is also true that the absolute evil you spoke of saved you! All of you! What other unforgivable sins has she committed besides that!? What other irreversible calamities has she caused?”

The Dragon Monarch’s gaze was incredibly indifferent. He looked away from Yun Che, his imposing countenance seemingly filled with immeasurable disappointment. “It looks like you’re dead set on this path of evil. Just your shaming of the Eternal Heaven God Emperor alone was an unforgivable crime already, but since you did save the world, I’ll give you one chance. I’ll show you the will of the people right now and let them tell you if you’re in the right, or wrong!”

“Everyone.” The Dragon Monarch’s voice was heavy and soul stunning. “Those who think that the Eternal Heaven God Emperor should die, and that the Evil Infant shouldn’t die, please stand on Yun Che’s side. Those who think that the Evil Infant should die, and that the Eternal Heaven God Emperor shouldn’t die, please stand on the Eternal Heaven God Emperor’s side. You are free to choose as you wish.”

“Hahahaha!” A frivolous laugh followed right after the Dragon Monarch was done speaking. “A person’s death for the peace and safety of all others? Is that even a question?”

The Southern Sea God Emperor walked up and stopped in between the Dragon Monarch and Qianye Fantian without hurry. He first shot a glance at Yun Che, then at Qianye Ying’er not far behind the latter before narrowing his eyes slightly. “It’s true that you’d saved the world, or a lower realm junior like you would never have been qualified to speak with us. But just because you’re the God Child Messiah doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you like!”

“Yun Che, God Child Yun…” The Southern Sea God Emperor seemed to be smiling, “Don’t forget that we are the only ones who know that you’re the “God Child Messiah” right now. If you insist on walking the path of foolishness, you might not even be able to keep that title!”

The space turned dead silent, and everyone’s expression kept changing.

The atmosphere had changed completely. It had changed the moment Qianye Fantian had stepped out to speak against Yun Che.

Qianye Fantian was the strongest god emperor and the highest authority in the Eastern Divine Region.

Nan Wansheng was the strongest god emperor and the highest authority in the Southern Divine Region.

As for the Dragon Monarch, he was both the strongest god emperor of the Western Divine Region and the supreme ruler of the entire world. He was the highest authority in the entire God Realm itself.

All three people with the highest authority in three divine regions had come together and stood on the opposite side of Yun Che.

At this point, everyone had noticed that something was amiss.

Yun Che was the reason the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor had willingly left the Primal Chaos and even stopped her fellow kinsmen from returning. He was also the one who promised on behalf of the Evil Infant to never attack the God Realm and dispelled their fear...

He was without a doubt the God Child Messiah and the pride of the Eastern Divine Region. In fact, most of these realm kings were grateful and happy for him from the bottom of their hearts.

As for the god emperors themselves… Up until just now, they had always treated him respectfully and courteously. One might even say that they had spoken to Yun Che like he was their equal—this included the Dragon Monarch, Qianye Fantian and Nan Wansheng.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor especially had nothing but praise for Yun Che.

Or at least, that was the case until fifteen minutes ago.

But after Jie Yuan had left, and the Evil Infant had been ambushed by the Eternal Heaven God Emperor… everything had changed without warning.

In fact, it was such a drastic change that it was almost unnatural!

With the Evil Infant gone, Yun Che was no longer as intimidating to the god emperors as before. In fact, no one was really surprised that the Brahma Heaven God Emperor had chosen this moment to attack Yun Che… The enslavement of the Brahma Monarch Goddess had to be the most humiliating thing to ever happen to the Brahma Monarch God Realm in recent years.

The Southern Sea God Emperor’s decision to join in on the attack against Yun Che wasn’t a surprise either. After all, everyone knew that he was obsessed with the Brahma Monarch Goddess to the point of madness, and they could easily envision him doing anything out of hatred and jealousy.

But what was wrong with the Dragon Monarch!?

No one here was stupid. Everyone could see that he wasn’t just defending the Eternal Heaven God Emperor.

“The Evil Infant’s death brings peace to the entire world!” The Holy Eaves Realm King stood up and repeated Qianye Fantian’s words loudly, “I fail to see how the Eternal Heaven God Emperor has done anything wrong! Yun Che, your insolence has gone too far!”

“That’s right!” Another realm king followed right behind him and stood next to the Eternal Heaven God Emperor as well. “How could you wish to kill the most esteemed person in the entire world for something as evil as the Evil Infant? The Eternal Heaven God Emperor had risked his very reputation and integrity to wipe out the greatest threat to the world! This is too much!”

“I will not accept this even if you’re the God Child Messiah!” A third realm king quickly followed after them.

The three god emperors had pretty much decided everyone’s stances with their decision.

The rest of the god emperors and the great realm kings had started to move as well. At least half of them were scolding Yun Che for his “offense”, and some were even glaring at him in anger. Their earlier groveling and gratitude towards the God Child Messiah had completely vanished before anyone realized it.

The remaining spoke not a word, but they ultimately chose to stand together with the Eternal Heaven God Emperor and the three strongest god emperors of the entire world.

“Let’s go,” said the Qilin Emperor to the Blue Dragon Emperor. He could sense that the Blue Dragon Emperor was feeling unwell.

When the Blue Dragon Emperor didn’t move, the Qilin Emperor added, “This has nothing to do with right or wrong. Our choice is also tied to the wellbeing of our king realms.”

The Blue Dragon Emperor finally let out a small sigh and followed the Qilin Emperor to the Dragon Monarch’s side.

Who would support a junior who had lost all his support and stand on the opposite side of the three strongest god emperors?

God Child Messiah?

When the devil emperor was still in Primal Chaos, and the devil gods could be returning at any moment, Yun Che was undeniably the God Child Messiah they’d placed all their hopes on… At the time, Yun Che’s words were their command because he had the power to change their fates.

Even after the devil emperor had gone away, the Evil Infant was still the strongest and most terrible power in the world. No one would dare to harm her, Yun Che, or question the role he played in saving the world.

But now, the crisis was resolved, and the Evil Infant was thrown out of Primal Chaos because of an “accident” before the truth was revealed... This meant that Yun Che was no longer in charge of his fate or even his merits. It was all in the hands of those with the strongest power and highest authority now.

Yun Che could no longer decide anyone’s fate.

But the three strongest god emperors opposite Yun Che could!

From this point onward, basic human nature was the highest factor in play, not his merits!

It didn’t take long before everyone except Xia Qingyue was standing on the Eternal Heaven God Emperor’s side.

Not a single person had decided to support Yun Che!

Many people standing on the Eternal Heaven God Emperor’s side tasted a deep sense of irony in their mouths.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor himself was wearing a complicated look on his face as he sighed heavily.

“Do you see now?” The Dragon Monarch said coolly, his draconic eyes looking down on Yun Che like he was observing a pitiful ant… just a moment ago, this pitiful ant had been the God Child Messiah who was praised by all.

The Eternal Heaven Guardians clearly hadn’t expected this to happen. They even looked incredibly bewildered.

“You must apologize to the Eternal Heaven God Emperor,” Qianye Fantian said indifferently. His words sounded like a mandate from heaven.

“Heh… hehe… hehehe…” An icy, disdainful smile appeared on Yun Che’s face. It was so piercing that many people had looked away from him. “Tell me, who is the one who protected you from harm?”
