Chapter 1647 Zhoutian Bet

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

It's all dark here, with only a few points of black jade emitting dim light.

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

Even though this is an important place among the important places in the Eternal Sky Divine Realm, no one is allowed to enter without the personal permission of the Eternal Sky Divine Emperor. But there are still layers of barriers spread out.

In the center of the dim space, Zhou Qingchen sat quietly. This was his 229th day here.

He remembered it very clearly, because every day here was longer than the thousand years of his life.

In the past, several years of retreat were spent in meditation. But in these short few months, he felt that the passage of time was so terrible.

Buzz.

With a sound, the door that had been closed for a long time was carefully and slowly pushed open, and the initial sound was immediately completely eliminated.

As the door opened, a ray of bright light came in. It was not strong, but it made Zhou Qingchen subconsciously raise his hand to block it in front of him.

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

Because now he is a demon.

"Father." Zhou Qingchen stood up and saluted politely.

Zhou Xuzi slowed down and walked over. In just a few months, he seemed to be a little older, but he still had a gentle and windy smile on his face: "Qingchen, how are you doing lately?"

Zhou Qingchen said: "Back to my father, in the past half month, the dark profound energy has shown no signs of disturbance, and the child's heart has become much calmer."

"That's good." Zhou Xuzi smiled and nodded: "The situation is much better than imagined. This also shows that the ancestors have always been secretly blessing you. Therefore, you must firmly believe that the darkness in your body will one day be purified."

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

"Haha, if you have anything to say, just ask." Zhou Xuzi said. The root cause of Zhou Qingchen's current experience lies with him. Under the pain and deep guilt in his heart, his attitude towards Zhou Qingchen was much gentler than before.

"My child wants to ask..." When he was about to speak, Zhou Qingchen still hesitated. Facing his father's gentle gaze, he finally asked: "Dark profound power, is it really that unforgivable crime?"

"Oh?" Zhou Xuzi frowned slightly, but still remained gentle 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 power of evil. Especially inheritance We, the leftover power of God, have a mission to eradicate the dark power in the world, which needs no words but has been carried out from generation to generation.”

"Why do you suddenly ask this?"

These words, Zhou Qingchen heard Zhou Xuzi say countless times from many people when he first started practicing Xuan Dao. He never questioned it, because it was the same basic understanding that water and fire were incompatible.

Facing his father's gaze, he expressed his truest doubts: "Demons with dark mysterious power will be dehumanized by the dark mysterious power and become vicious and bloodthirsty. They will not hesitate to commit any crime for their own benefit." ...Dark mysterious power is a heresy in the world. As a mysterious person in the divine realm, no matter whether you encounter demons, monsters, or demon spirits, you must use all your strength to destroy them."

"So, after becoming a demon, I have been afraid that I will become a monster with gradually losing humanity and no conscience."

Zhou Xuzi: "..."

He raised his hands, and while the black energy was circulating, a layer of black energy slowly emerged from his palms. His fingers did not tremble, and his eyes and voice remained calm: "It has been more than seven months, and the frequency of riots of dark energy has become more and more frequent." As I get lower and lower, my body has completely adapted to its existence. Compared to the beginning, I am now a real demon."

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

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

He raised his hands a little more, and the dark profound energy between his fingers became more intense: "Father, isn't the dark profound power not so scary? Our understanding of the dark profound power and the devil... will... Wasn’t it wrong from the beginning?”

"Enough!"

An angry rebuke dispelled all the gentleness on Zhou Xuzi's face. As the most righteous God Emperor in the world, who took the elimination of darkness and sin as his lifelong mission, he could not believe it, could not accept such words, and actually chose it from his own son. The heir to Eternal Sky said it.

That's not just treason!

Zhou Xuzi, who rarely gets angry, raised his eyebrows and was about to slap him... But when his eyes touched the black energy in Zhou Qingchen's hand, his eyes trembled, and he suppressed the rising anger and stretched out his palm. came out and eliminated the dark aura released by Zhou Qingchen in an instant.

"Qingchen, how could you say such a thing?" Zhou Xuzi forced his expression to remain calm, but his voice trembled slightly: "Darkness is a heresy that cannot exist in the world. This is the principle of the world! It is the teaching of the ancestors! It is the direction of heaven!"

Facing Zhou Xuzi's rebuke, Zhou Qingchen, who was usually respectful and obedient, suddenly took a step back, and his tone was a bit louder than before: "If darkness is really an evil that cannot be tolerated in the world, then why...the Heaven Smiting Demon Emperor would do this for Sacrifice yourself and the whole family when the world is in danger!"

"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 surrounded and suppressed!"

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

"shut up!"

Snap!

He flung up his long sleeves and slapped Zhou Qingchen far away with a heavy slap. Zhou Xuzi's hair stood on end and his whole body was trembling: "Qingchen, you... do you know what you are talking about! You are already crazy! You have begun to be eroded by the dark force in your sanity and nature! Please wake up!"

"Cough...cough." Zhou Qingchen stood up slowly while holding on to the wall. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, lowered his head and said slowly: "People who are not awake can only be crazy and talk nonsense. And what the child said just now was all witnessed and experienced by the father and the child..."

"Still silent!!"

Bang!

Blood flowed all over Zhou Xuzi's body, and the mysterious jade beneath his feet cracked into pieces, and powder flew everywhere.

Zhou Qingchen's long hair was disheveled and he was panting violently. Slowly, he knelt down and his head sank: "My child made a mistake and offended... Father, please forgive me."

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

Only by inheriting darkness can you truly understand darkness.

Perhaps, this was the cruelest part of Yun Che's first revenge against Eternal Sky.

Not only did it destroy the body of the successor to Eternal Sky, it also destroyed the belief that he had always firmly believed in and adhered to.

Blood drops slowly fell from the corners of Zhou Qingchen's lips, and each drop pierced Zhou Xuzi's heart and soul. All his anger was replaced by the sting. He sighed, walked forward slowly, pointed out the Xuanguang with his finger, With a light flash, the red mark on Zhou Qingchen's face faded away.

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

"This is a father's promise to his most important son."

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

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

After walking out of the layers of 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 the Eternal Sky Pearl.

However, his steps were sometimes heavy and sometimes erratic.

"The teachings of our ancestors... Eternal Sky's aspirations... What we have been seeking for a lifetime... what we have fought for half our lives... How could it be wrong, how could it be wrong..." He muttered, over and over again.

During this period, he came to Zhoutian Zhuling again and again, hoping that it could recall some ancient memories and find a way to save Zhou Qingchen. But every time he got the answer, "If Yun Che can force it, it is possible to lift 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 suddenly called him in his heart and soul.

This sound transmission caused him to stop, his whole body shook 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 seriously: "Taiyu, are you telling the truth!?"

"It's absolutely true." Venerable Taiyu nodded slowly. With his position, if he was not 100%, even just 99% sure, he would not say the words "It's absolutely true."

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

Venerable Taiyu shook his head: "The details are difficult to know. Yun Che has indeed fallen into the hands of the Soul Stealing Demon Queen, and the Yama Realm has also asked the Demon Queen for help because of this."

"Yama Realm?" Zhou Xuzi frowned slightly.

"Yes." Venerable Taiyu said: "Although Yun Che is responsible for the dark profound power, to the Northern God Territory, he is a person from the Eastern God Territory after all. They have an eternal hatred for the Eastern God Territory. After they recognize Yun Che, they will naturally do the same. Treated as foreign heresy."

"Coupled with the inheritance of the evil god and the Sky Poison Pearl on his body, there is a possibility that the king of the Northern God Territory will hear about it. Therefore, once Yun Che's identity is exposed in the Northern God Territory, it will not be easy."

"When he appeared in the Taichu Divine Realm before, he probably exposed his identity and was forced to escape into the Taichu Divine Realm to escape pursuit. After hurting Qingchen and exposing 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 offended her deeply. As for Yan Mo, he killed a very important person. From this point of view, although Yun Che's change in strength is indeed strange, in the Northern God Territory It’s also besieged on all sides.”

Such a result is not surprising at all, whether it is because of Yun Che's identity or the secrets he carries.

Zhou Xuzi thought briefly for a while and said, "When is the approximate time?"

"It should have been a month ago." Venerable Taiyu said, and then frowned: "The Demon Queen clearly agreed to this matter at the beginning, but after she succeeded, there was no movement for a whole month. Maybe, she took down Yun Che After all, there was no way she could let go of Yun Che's secrets!"

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

"She was sure that I would get the news sooner or later, and she would wait for me to contact her."

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

"The queen of demons is cunning and greedy. The more anxious I am, the more she will ask for an exorbitant price... But Qingchen can't wait. His mind has begun to be eroded by darkness. One more day means one more variable. If it's too late, there may be a possibility that it is completely irreversible. Sigh." Zhou Xuzi's face was full of fatigue: "But fortunately, she really took Yun Che."

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

Zhou Xuzi looked ahead and said slowly: "That bargaining chip, she can't refuse it. No one... can refuse it."

Taiyu Zun frowned deeply and asked: "Master, what is the bargaining chip you used?"

As soon as he said this, he suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, and he said in shock: "Could it be... Could it be..."

Zhou Xuzi closed his eyes and said nothing.

The shocked expression was fixed on Taiyu Zun's face, and it took a long time to ease. He sighed deeply and said, "My Lord, you have devoted half your life to Zhoutian and the world. You should live for yourself."

Zhou Xuzi said slowly, "After this, I will no longer be the Emperor of Zhoutian. This price should be paid by Qingchen himself."

"Taiyu... Thank you for what you said just now." He said sincerely. Although Venerable Taiyu only said a few words, it was a great comfort to him.

Venerable Taiyu smiled and shook his head, "Why do we need these extra words between brothers? However, the Demon Queen is not only cunning, but also has a strange and terrifying soul power. I have experienced it in the past. Be careful."

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

"My Lord, don't worry."

Putting away the soundproof barrier, Taiyu set off. In his memory, this is the first time that Zhou Xuzi has truly been selfish since he was crowned emperor.

Perhaps, only Zhou Qingchen can make him do this.
