Chapter 1923 (1/2)

After burying Yue Wuya and Yue Wugou, Xia Qingyue accepted the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl from Yue Wuji and officially became the Moon God Emperor.

Xia Qingyue had almost no supporters, and practically everyone in the entire Moon God Realm rejected her. That was why her very first action as the Moon God Emperor stunned all of them.

When the Moon God Crown Prince, Yue Xuange abruptly took action against her, she had chosen neither endurance, false civility, nor heroic resistance. Her choice… was a purple light that smote the Moon God Crown Prince in one strike.

“The crime of defying your God Emperor is death!”

What reason did she have to execute the Moon God Crown Prince? That was it, and it applied to everyone!

It had only been nine days since Xia Qingyue inherited Yue Wuya’s Purple Pylon divine power.

However, the power she emanated already shook the Moon Gods to the core.

Xia Qingyue’s slash had cut away not just the head of the snake, but also Yue Wuji’s hesitation. The Moon God who was second in power only to the previous Moon God Emperor threw his full weight behind Xia Qingyue ever since.

The Moon God Crown Prince’s sudden death meant that the anti-Xia Qingyue faction had lost their core before they even officially rose in revolt.

After that, it was simply a matter of breaking them down one after another.

She consolidated her strength at every step, and she never failed to hit the nail in the end. The other Moon Gods came to respect or fear her greatly, but the key thing was that they all submitted to her eventually, and their submission equaled the Moon God Realm’s submission. It wasn’t like that there were no voices of resistance at all, but what did they matter when none of the powers that mattered supported them?

The civil strife of the Moon God Realm had ended in less than two years.

It was an unimaginably short period that no one thought was possible until she did it.

Chi Wuyao’s ability to master the human heart and control any situation had come from tens of thousands of years of accumulated experience.

However, Xia Qingyue hadn’t been a leader for even a single day prior to her ascension.

Although she had inherited the key memories of the previous Moon God Emperors when she accepted the Imperial Moon Glazed Pearl and so knew the Moon Gods and Moon God Divine Envoys like the back of her hand, the skill she displayed and the feats she had achieved were, to put it bluntly, impossible.

Not even Chi Wuyao could’ve done better without using her Nirvana Devil Emperor Soul.

The awakening of the Heart of Snow Glazed Glass… the truth she had perceived behind nothingness…

What in the world had happened to her? What did she see?

Three years passed in the Recollection of Nothingness. It was around the time Yun Che had returned to the God Realm.

As a result of Huo Poyun’s betrayal, he was exposed the moment he returned to the Snow Song Realm.

Xia Qingyue did two things the moment she heard the news. First, she lured the Eternal Heaven God Emperor to the Snow Song Realm. Then, she personally stopped Qianye Ying’er in her tracks.

Things at the Snow Song Realm had gone better than expected, but Zhou Xuzi would’ve saved Yun Che even if Mu Xuanyin hadn’t been strong enough to cut off Luo Guxie’s arm. Qianye Ying’er was by far the more dangerous element between the two, but Xia Qingyue had stopped her perfectly as well.

The consequences would’ve been unimaginable if either one of his nemeses had managed to get their hands on him… but she had treated it like it was nothing when she had spoken to him about it.

Some time later, they entered the Eternal Heaven God Realm and participated in the Eternal Heaven General Assembly to discuss measures and actions to be taken against the Crimson Calamity.

To Yun Che’s astonishment, Xia Qingyue was already wary of Long Bai then.

“Send down the order to investigate the family massacre that has been happening in the Dragon God Realm recently, especially the time and location of the first incident… if possible, tell the men to do everything they can to search for energy traces at every crime scene. The more detailed the report, the better!”

“Just send down the order to investigate this incident with whatever resources we have. Everything else can wait until we have a result!”

At the Eternal Heaven God Realm, after their brief conversation, he saw her watching his departing back and letting out a long sigh:

“Countless priceless treasures, the Dragon Monarch’s jealousy, and Qianye’s venom… the entire universe may turn on him after the Crimson Calamity is over.”

“What do I need to do to protect him?”

A breach appeared on the Wall of Primal Chaos, and the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor returned.

All of the god emperors and realm kings were bending their knees and trembling in fear. Xia Qingyue had dropped to her knees as well, but that wasn’t the only thing she did. She had hidden a Hidden Moon Floating Image Pearl just above her purple sash and concealed its presence perfectly with her Moon God divine aura.

No one had a clue that she was engraving the scene of the god emperors kneeling, and Yun Che speaking to the Devil Emperor with the pearl.

It was the scene in the first Illusory Glazed Imagery Jade.

After Yun Che returned to the Snow Song Realm, he reported that the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor wouldn’t be bringing a calamity upon the Primal Chaos. While the god emperors and realm kings were showering Yun Che with praise and calling him “God Child Messiah”, Xia Qingyue was recording with another Hidden Moon Floating Image Pearl.

It was how the scene in the second Illusory Glazed Imagery Jade came to be.

Next, Xia Qingyue drove Qianye Fantian into a corner via a clever mixture of truth and lies and successfully turned Qianye Ying’er into Yun Che’s slave. On the same day, right after Yun Che had left the Moon God Realm, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor had suddenly appeared before her.

The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor had forcefully scoured Xia Qingyue’s memories because she was curious about the woman who possessed both the Heart of Snow Glazed Glass and the Nine Profound Exquisite Body. Then, she said something that stunned Yun Che:

“Xia Qingyue, I have never seen such a sorrowful fate before in my entire life… even I, who have experienced the calamity of being banished outside the Primal Chaos, feel grief for you!”

“The most sorrowful part is that when you finally sensed it, you actually decided to comply with it?” The light in Jie Yuan’s devilish eyes turned even gloomier, “Was it because you felt that you were simply unable to resist it, or…”

“Ah, do you really not understand or is it that you don’t wish to understand? But because of you, I know a secret that I should not have known… Haha, this thing called fate is truly remarkable, truly remarkable indeed.”
