Chapter 1671 - The Sixth Stage (1/2)

On the Soul Sky Warship, Chi Wuyao and Qianye Ying’er were standing at a patch of shadow beneath a profound formation and staring at each other.

Burning Moon Royal City’s core profound formation was being reforged at an extraordinary speed, but the core that fueled it had been changed from the power of the Burning Moon to the power and soul of the Witches.

Just in case the Yama Realm decided to make a move while Burning Moon Royal City’s defenses were gone, Chi Wuyao also used the Untamed Divine Marrow she got from the Eternal Heaven God Emperor to restore the core profound formation as quickly as possible.

Hoarded unused treasures were ultimately just trash.

“Is there anything you wish to say to this queen?” Chi Wuyao looked at Qianye Ying’er with a half-smile on her face. She was starting to notice a slight change in her, although she couldn’t tell exactly what just yet.

“Why didn’t you stop him?” Qianye Ying’er asked stiffly and forcefully.

“Stop him?” Chi Wuyao curled her lips. “Do you really think this queen could’ve stopped him?”

“Of course you could. Why wouldn’t you be able to stop him?” Qianye Ying’er stared at Chi Wuyao intently, looking like she wanted nothing more than to pierce through the impenetrable black fog covering her face and peer into her soul.

Qianye Ying’er might have missed Yun Che leaving the darkness profound ark and returning to the Burning Moon Realm because she was distraught at the time, but there was no way his departure could escape Chi Wuyao notice.

Not only did she not try to stop him, she even pretended that she didn’t notice his departure.

And not too long after that, the Soul Sky Warship showed up and rendezvoused with the darkness profound ark… clearly, Chi Wuyao had sent a message to the Soul Stealing Realm and summoned the warship long before Yun Che had decided to return to the Burning Moon Realm.

Chi Wuyao replied without looking away from Qianye Ying’er’s eyes, “This queen told you before, didn’t she...? She knows him well, that’s all.”

“Heh.” Qianye Ying’er let out a low chuckle. “No one has the right to say that in front of me.”

“I do.” But Chi Wuyao replied immediately and without any hesitation whatsoever.

“...” Qianye Ying’er frowned deeply at her reply. The weight behind her gaze grew heavier and heavier.

“In fact, I didn’t want to stop him. You might even say that I was hoping that he would act like that.”

“You were… hoping that he would act like that?” Qianye Ying’er frowned deeply. “Did he tell you about his trump card before!?”

Yun Che once told her that he had a trump card that could kill anyone, and that he was going to give it to the Dragon Monarch during the “final hour”. However, he hadn’t explained exactly how this trump card worked at the time, much less the fact that he could command the Star God origin power, a power that should belong to the Star God Realm only.

“Of course he didn’t. Why would you ever tell anyone about your trump card?” Chi Wuyao said indifferently. “What I mean, is that I wanted him to feel sad, angry and impulsive for you and that child that wasn’t able to be born in this world…”

Qianye Ying’er: “...?”

“I wanted him to act that way because it proves that his heart hasn’t ‘died’ completely. And who knows… maybe it won’t ever ‘die’ again now that it’s been resurrected.”

Qianye Ying’er shivered a little and started seeing Chi Wuyao in a new light.

Seemingly not noticing the change in Qianye Ying’er’s eyes, Chi Wuyao continued. “The reason this queen summoned the Soul Sky Warship even before he returned to the Burning Moon Realm is so that he’d have my protection no matter how bad the situation became.”

“This queen wasn’t expecting such a pleasant surprise, however.”

“It’s been almost a million years since there was anything that could affect the status quo of the Burning Moon Realm, and now it’s ripe for the taking all thanks to him!” A seductive smile spread across Chi Wuyao’s lips. “This achievement alone makes him better than anyone else in the entire history of the God Realm! Who in the world could even begin to compare themselves to him?”

She looked at Qianye Ying’er and smiled even wider. “His fury brought back the might of the True Gods and toppled an entire king realm, and the person who caused all this was you, Yun Qianying. In my opinion as a woman, this is an achievement far more enviable than being known by the entire world as the Brahma Monarch Goddess.”

“For me? Hmph!” Qianye Ying’er snorted, but averted her gaze unconsciously after hearing Chi Wuyao’s praise. “He had always harbored deep regret toward his own daughter, and it just so happened that this incident had brought that regret to the surface. It has… nothing to do with me!”

“Oh? Is that so?” Chi Wuyao narrowed her eyes before smiling. “The reason this queen visited the Burning Moon Realm first was to eliminate any possibility of interference from them when we deal with the Yama Realm, but she never thought that a boon would land right in her lap. To be honest, this queen still feels like she’s dreaming.”

“If he lost his will to die after this, then it would be even better.”

“...” Qianye Ying’er’s golden pupils turned blurry and unfocused.

We’ll have one again in the future...

The future...

Chi Wuyao looked away when she saw the corner of Qianye Ying’er’s lips turning up unconsciously. She then asked quietly, “There are still many things waiting for this queen to take care of in the Burning Moon Realm. Are you finished yet?”

“No, I am not.” Qianye Ying’er’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and icy again. “In fact, you absolutely mustn’t miss a single word of what I say starting now!”

“Oh?” Her curiosity seemingly piqued, Chi Wuyao turned partially back toward Qianye Ying’er.

Qianye Ying’er slowly walked up to Chi Wuyao until they were just half a foot away from each other. “Back in the Imperial Heaven Realm, when you and I met each other for the first time, I told you that we share the same enemies despite having different goals.”

“Your goal is to break through the prison the three divine regions have imposed on the Northern Divine Region and become a powerhouse that stands equal, if not above all of them. Our goal was to exact revenge on all those who have wronged us and wet the soil we hate with their blood! That was how we came to a common understanding: you’ll help us take revenge against our enemies, we’ll help you become the queen of everything, and we’ll both kill our common enemies to achieve said ends.”

“Was, huh. And what about now?” Chi Wuyao asked. Qianye Ying’er couldn’t decipher the emotion behind the Devil Queen’s gaze, but she couldn’t sense any curiosity from her. It seemed like she already knew what she was about to say.

“Now…” Qianye Ying’er smiled indifferently. “After exacting our revenge and flattening the three divine regions, I want…”

“To make him the king!”
