Against the Gods

When he found her when she was eleven years old, he held her tightly and promised with all his will that he would spend the rest of his life to make up for his debt to her and never let her be lost in his life again.

But, he failed to do it.

Before returning to the God Realm, he solemnly promised her that after everything was resolved, he would come back soon, and then he would always be by her side and never be separated again.

But once he left, there was no news again.

After becoming Emperor Yun, he made another promise to her with endless guilt and a voice that even he could not doubt: This time, he would never leave again, and he would never let anyone hurt her again.

but……

Time and time again he shamed the person he least wanted to shame.

"Whether you are a good father or not, you don't have the final say." She raised her head and held back tears: "Only I have the final say."

Yun Che: "..."

"All the previous guarantees can be ignored." She looked straight into Yun Che's eyes through the mist of tears: "But this time... this time... you must come back safe and sound. "

"No matter how hard it is...no matter how long it takes, you have to come back."

She had tried so hard to hold it back, but tears were still falling down her face. She really couldn't imagine, and she didn't dare to think about what would happen after her father fell into that terrible abyss.

"As long as you can do it," she said with trembling sobs, word by word, "you are... the best father in the world."

"..." Yun Che's breathing became rapid and disordered, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Yun Wuxin leaned forward and leaned tightly against Yun Che's chest: "Father, you are willing to become a competent emperor. Then, you will definitely be willing to be the best father for me, right?"

Yun Che moved his arms forward and hugged his daughter tightly silently. He closed his eyes and said in her ear in the softest voice: "Of course I will come back. Because between this world, there is my eternal care. "

"Um!"

Yun Wuxin stretched out his hand and placed his fingertips on the three-color Glazed Sound Stone that Yun Che always wore around his neck: "When you don't want to cherish your life, just listen to the soft sound of the Glazed Sound Stone, and then think of everything you said to me today. .”

"Okay." Yun Che nodded heavily.

…………

After leaving the Southern God Territory, Yun Che brought Yun Wuxin back to Blue Pole Star and landed in the Illusory Demon Realm.

"Wuxin, you should tell your mother and master about this first."

Ling Ao Tiandi's Yun Di could not hide his uneasiness at this time: "Especially your Aunt Caiyi, she has the most stubborn temper, it's best for you to tell her first."

This departure is different from any other time before, because from the moment you fall into the abyss, it is a narrow escape.

"I know." Yun Wuxin smiled sweetly, soothing Yun Che's mood: "Father is the best at coaxing women, so you must work harder later."

Yun Che let out a half-sad, half-bitter laugh.

Yun Wuxin flew away. Yun Che raised his head and looked at the blue, cloudless sky... When would his world and his life be truly at peace?

"Che'er, you're back." A gentle and deep voice sounded from behind.

Yun Che turned around and looked at Yun Qinghong who was smiling: "Father."

Yun Qinghong nodded and said: "I have heard about what happened in the God Realm. However, I also understand that the real situation must be a thousand times more sinister than what they told me."

"It was indeed extremely thrilling." Yun Che said: "But fortunately it is over."

"There is no past." Yun Qinghong looked at him: "It can make your eyes look so dark... That's not the end, it's just the beginning, right?"

There is no better son than a father.

Even though he has become Emperor Yun, he is still his father.

Yun Qinghong walked over and said calmly: "If you have anything to say, just say it. You don't need to have any scruples or concealments from me. Even if it's something I can't understand."

Yun Che stared for a long time and said: "Father, when you and your mother were in the most difficult time, how did you keep yourself so calm?"

"Calm?" Yun Qinghong shook his head and smiled: "Did you know that what can bring calmness may not be that everything is under control, but may be complete hopelessness."

Yun Che: "..."

"Back then, your mother and I were poisoned, with little strength and life left. King Huai came to power, the Yun family was in civil strife, and the fate of the Little Demon Queen was also in danger. I looked at everything, and all I could see was 'hopeless.' Two words.”

"Because there is no hope, there is no fear."

"Your arrival is a godsend beyond all calculations and struggles."

He reached out and patted Yun Che hard on the shoulder: "And you, at least still have hope and the opportunity to try your best to win, right?"

"Yes," Yun Che raised his head slightly: "At least, there is still hope."

"That's enough." Yun Qinghong said with a smile: "Determine what you should do next, and then do your best. As for whether the result will be what you want in the end, no one can really foresee it. In this case, there is no need to think about the future, just focus on the present.”

“It’s okay to think of it as a journey to break through your own knowledge and horizons.”

"In addition, your greatest identity at this moment is that of the emperor of the world. What you are about to do, and what you must do, is to save the world from danger."

"So, after you make a decision, the most important thing to give up is to look forward and backward, and worry about gains and losses."

Yun Qinghong met his son's eyes and put his broad palm on his shoulder: "You have to believe that the people around you are much stronger than you think. At least, although your father is weak, his shoulders are still strong. It’s very hard, enough to support our Yun family’s destiny for at least ten thousand years.”

"..." Yun Che's face moved slightly, as if a thick fog dispersed in his chest: "Father, I understand."

Yun Qinghong nodded, and the father and son looked at each other and smiled.

At this moment, a rumbling sound quickly came from far to near, accompanied by a rapid rise in air temperature.

Yun Qinghong raised his eyebrows, and his figure flew away almost instantly, leaving only a fleeting sentence: "You can only rely on yourself for this matter. There is nothing you can do for me as a father, hahahaha."

Boom!

The Little Demon Queen fell with a manic scorching wave, shaking the entire Yun family...

…………

Eastern God Territory, Flame God Realm.

Huo Poyun's tombstone was erected in front of the God Burial Fire Prison.

It was here that he received the gift of the Golden Crow Soul, and he once said that he was willing to sleep in the God Burial Fire Hell.

Without Huo Poyun, the eternal burning aura of the Flame God Realm seemed to be much quieter.

The Yanshen King's Palace built for Huo Poyun was even more lifeless at this moment.

Yan Wancang, Yan Juehai, and Huo Rulie were all among them, but the hall where the three sect leaders gathered was filled with a loneliness that made people's souls sink.

"Poyun has gone, and the Flame God has no king." Huo Rulie looked at the top of the hall, his eyes distracted, and the image of Huo Poyun conferring the title of king in this hall floated in his mind: "After the door of this palace is locked, I don’t know when it will be until we can see the light of day again.”

Yan Wancang and Yan Juehai both remained silent.

They all knew clearly that Huo Poyun's inheritance could no longer be reproduced, and even...he was not able to leave behind a son and a half daughter who inherited his Golden Crow bloodline.

In the future generations of the Flame God Realm, it will be difficult for a god to appear again.

It also means that this temple may never be reopened.

Even if another divine master is lucky enough to appear, he will never be able to reach the height of Huo Poyun.

The peak of the Flame God Realm is as short-lived as an epiphyllum.

However, no one in the four realms, even for thousands of generations to come, dares to look down upon the sudden decline of the Flame God Realm. Because what the Flame God Realm King bloomed at the cost of his premature death was the flame of salvation.

At this time, the sound of gentle and even footsteps came from the palace door.

The three sect leaders were not aware of the opponent's approach. When the sound of footsteps could be clearly heard, they all looked back in shock, and then their expressions changed dramatically.

The three of them knelt down at the same time and said: "Greetings to Emperor Yun. I didn't know that Emperor Yun was coming, but I missed him from a distance, so I was filled with fear."

The person arriving was none other than Yun Che.

He was not alone, beside him was a woman in red that they had never seen before.

Using immortals as their postures and dreams as their faces... their eyes instantly touched and they didn't dare to look again.

But they were convinced that for someone so magnificent and so close to Emperor Yun, his status was anything but ordinary.

"Get up, there's no need to be formal."

Before Yun Che made any move, an invisible aura had already made the three sect leaders stand up. He turned his gaze to the back, looking at the Flame God Hall that belonged to Huo Poyun.

This is his first time setting foot here.

"I wonder if Emperor Yun has arrived, what is his mission?" Yan Wancang asked. In the past, he would always feel uneasy when facing Yun Che, but now his expression was quite solemn.

There is no greater sorrow than the death of one's heart. Just like what Yun Qinghong said, there is no hope but no fear.

Yan Juehai raised his head unconsciously, and the corner of his eyes swept over the woman in red beside Yun Che again and again. Because the phoenix divine pattern was imprinted on the red clothes that were as gorgeous as red clouds.

Yun Che withdrew his gaze and said: "This hall is majestic and majestic, and it will undoubtedly be the place where you have devoted all your efforts. It would be a pity if it were closed like this."

"Alas." Huo Rulie sighed and shook his head: "This palace exists for the king of the Flame God Realm. Since there is no longer a king, it should also die."

Indeed, the three of them devoted all their efforts to this Flame God Palace. In their subconscious mind, after Huo Poyun, no one was worthy of living there anymore.

"The three sect masters do not need to be so pessimistic." Yun Che said: "The absence of Brother Poyun in the Flame God Realm does not mean that the future is completely cut off."

"The Suzaku, Phoenix, and Golden Crow souls that remain in the world have all passed away. Poyun has not left his bloodline, and the Golden Crow inheritance on his body has been forever cut off... How can the Flame God have any hope?" Huo Rulie said in pain.

Yun Che turned sideways, with a flash of flame in his eyes, lifting the barrier protecting Feng Xue'er.

A pure Phoenix Divine Breath escaped from her body, making the three masters of the Flame God suddenly look sideways at the same time.

Feng Xue'er was speechless. Her beautiful eyes were filled with flaming light, and the red glow on her body shone. She instantly condensed into a rich and substantial phoenix shadow, accompanied by a majestic and loud phoenix cry.

"Ah...ah!!"

The three sect leaders simultaneously let out uncontrollable screams of shock, and the red flames illuminated their pupils that were instantly dilated to the point of breaking.

"Three sect masters," Yun Che looked at the three people who were completely shocked: "How does the phoenix aura on her body compare to Brother Poyun's golden crow aura...?"

"..." Yan Juehai opened his mouth wide. Yun Che's voice came into his ears, and his neck turned with difficulty as if it was frozen. After several breaths, he finally said with difficulty: "She... she... who is she?"

"Her name is Feng Xue'er." Yun Che took Xue'er's hand and said, "She is one of my wives."

Gudu!

The throats of the three sect leaders trembled at the same time, but fortunately they did not dare to forget the etiquette and quickly bowed: "Greetings to the imperial concubine."

"The three seniors don't have to be like this." Feng Xue'er said: "It is difficult for the juniors to accept this gift."

Facing the three people who were trembling with shock and their thoughts were confused, Yun Che said slowly: "Like Brother Poyun, what she has inherited is the complete gift of a phoenix soul."

Yan Juehai opened and closed his lips continuously, but he was completely speechless under the extreme excitement.

"Her phoenix bloodline and phoenix soul are no less than Brother Poyun's Golden Crow inheritance. It's just because she has been living in the lower realm, and her profound Tao cultivation is limited by the lower realm."

If Huo Poyun hadn't passed away, he might never have let Feng Xue'er get involved in the filthy dust of the God Realm.
