Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Shu Yuan went to the Godly Ancient Lands.

Jun Wuxie watched her leave until she disappeared into the passage between the two realms.

Afterward, he headed toward his residence.

He pushed open the door, and a slight mist swirled inside.

Tan Xirou had already prepared a pool of hot water and stood gracefully beside the bath.

Seeing Jun Wuxie enter, she hurried to greet him.

"Master, bathe first. Xirou hasn't served you in many years."

As she spoke, she untied his belt, helping him remove his clothes.

"I never had you serve me while bathing before.

Why did you suddenly think of serving me today?"

"Xirou has always been willing to do anything for Master, but back then, I was afraid Master would dislike it and didn't dare to be presumptuous..."

"Oh? Then why are you so bold today?"

"Now that the imperial consorts are not in the Upper Realm, Xirou is naturally not afraid.

Originally, I wasn't afraid of Master, only that the imperial consorts would blame me.

Master is so good to Xirou, you wouldn't bear to punish me, would you?"

Jun Wuxie was now only in white shorts, revealing a strong physique, every muscle line perfect to the extreme, like a work of art carved by the gods themselves.

He walked to the bath, immersed himself in the water, rested his head on the edge of the tub, half-closed his eyes, and made a comfortable sound.

How many years had it been since he had relaxed like this?

For cultivators, bathing was not a necessity.

Their own cultivation energy and physiological functions were enough to keep their bodies clean.

Bathing was more of a relaxation, a mental enjoyment.

Such things were often done more by mortals or those with extremely low realms, almost a daily routine in their lives.

Powerful cultivators, on the other hand, rarely had such leisurely moments.

After all, there were many trivial matters, and they simply wouldn't focus on such dispensable things.

Tan Xirou took off her outer garment, wearing only a thin veil, her beautiful body faintly visible.

She entered the bath, helped Jun Wuxie up, let him rest his head on her chest, and then rhythmically massaged his temples with her hands.

"Master, is it comfortable? Is the pressure okay?"

Tan Xirou's voice was soft and charming, echoing beside him.

"It's alright, this pressure is just right."

Jun Wuxie said, slightly opening his narrowed eyes, "Xirou, do you regret it?"

Tan Xirou's delicate body trembled, and her hands massaging his temples paused.

But then she continued to massage with the same pressure and rhythm as before.

"What is Master referring to?"

"Back then, you were strong-willed and resolute. I used the Scripture of Salvation to forcibly convert you, which made you willingly serve me.

But later, I had already erased the will imprint of the Scripture of Salvation from your body.

Have you really never blamed me?

What happened back then was quite cruel to you."

After Jun Wuxie finished speaking, he did not receive a response from Tan Xirou for a moment.

He clearly felt her body trembling.

"Why?"

After a long silence, Tan Xirou asked him in a choked voice.

"Why does Master mention the past, why does Master ask Xirou such questions?

Is there something Xirou has done poorly that Master doesn't like?

Am I not devoted enough, not loyal enough?"

Her face was full of tears.

Although she was crying, she didn't look weak at all.

The current Tan Xirou was very different from her usual self, more similar to the head of the noble family from back then.

There was a sense of queenly majesty.

"That's not it.

Can you really not care about what happened back then, as if nothing had happened?"

"Hehe, treat it as if nothing happened, is that possible?

Some things, once they happen, have happened, unchangeable facts!

But so what?

In the early years, I often thought about it, and sometimes I resented Master in my heart.

That rebellious son deserved to die, Xirou doesn't resent Master for that, but..."

"But I shouldn't have let you do it yourself, right?"

"For a while, I did have that thought, but now I don't think that way anymore.

The past is gone.

Moreover, the right and wrong of life have been confirmed.

Facts have proven that my choice, Tan Xirou's, was not wrong!

I am very happy now, my clansmen are developing very well now, and have completely embarked on the right path, with strict family traditions!

Back then, I lost some things, but at the same time, I got Master.

So, as long as Master still wants me, I have nothing to regret.

If Master doesn't want Xirou one day, Xirou will definitely hate you.

Master may think that such Tan Xirou is very cheap, right?

Yes, after experiencing such a thing back then, after the will returned, still wholeheartedly following Master, serving you, taking you as the entirety of life, the only center of the world.

Even if I am a cheap woman, I am Master's exclusive, only cheap for Master to see.

I don't care!

If Master doesn't want me, I will die, following Master for so many years, I don't believe Master won't feel any heartache!"

Tan Xirou's words were a bit crazy, and her words were very intense.

This was completely different from her usual docile appearance when facing Jun Wuxie.

"You've grown in ability, learning to threaten me with your life."

Jun Wuxie looked at her in surprise, and then, in her tearful eyes, wiped away the tears on her face, "Stop crying, I don't like seeing such a weak side of you.

Mentioning these things today is to see if your heart has really let go.

I don't want you to find a balance point in years of entanglement, and follow me in this state.

In that case, your Dao heart will have many flaws, and in the future, you are destined not to have a good achievement in cultivation.

Although your talent is not considered outstanding, it is also outstanding, rare, one in a billion.

As long as there are no problems in the cultivation process, by my side, in the future, you can always get to the Yu Emperor realm."

"Xirou doesn't want any realm, just Master.

I only hope that every day can be like tonight, serving Master in bathing, serving Master in bed..."

Speaking of this, Tan Xirou blushed, and she realized that she had said these words a little thoughtlessly.

Serving Master in bathing every night, serving Master in bed.

What about the imperial consorts?

This is obviously impossible.

If that were the case, the imperial consorts would tear her apart.

"You really dare to say that."

"Master, Xirou misspoke, please don't be angry.

Actually, my wish is very small.

As long as I can occasionally serve Master once, I will be satisfied.

I don't dare to expect anything else."

"What's so good about me?

Why are you all so infatuated?"

"Whether Master is good or not, let alone, anyway, in this world, from ancient times to the present, throughout the heavens and myriad realms, no one can compare with you.

How many people in this world can resist admiring you?

When you have seen the most brilliant splendor in the world, everything else seems dim.

Master is the most brilliant splendor in the world, no arguments accepted!"

As Tan Xirou spoke, she turned her body, came to Jun Wuxie's front, crossed a long leg over his body, and sat on his lap.

...

The next day, late in the morning, Jun Wuxie came out of the house.

He was leisurely drinking morning tea in the courtyard, and summoned Zi Yun and other powerhouses with his divine sense, as well as the legion commanders of the Black Armored Army.

When the Black Armored Army commanders saw him, they were extremely excited, and their words were a bit incoherent.

When they learned that the Divine Monarch had returned this time to take them to the Godly Ancient Lands to fight against the darkness, they were even more excited.

A batch of Black Armor had already gone ahead.

Not being selected at that time was a huge regret for them.

This regret had been lingering in their hearts for many years, making them very uncomfortable, feeling that it was due to their lack of strength.

Over the years, they had been cultivating day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep, diligently and diligently, just so that next time there was a similar thing, they would not miss it.

"You will begin to reorganize the army today and go to the Godly Ancient Lands yourself.

Passing through the path between the two realms, you can directly reach the Godly Ancient Alliance fortress.

That is where we once fought against the darkness in the Godly Ancient Lands.

After you arrive, someone will arrange it."

"We swear to follow the Divine Monarch to sweep away the darkness of the heavens!"

The Black Armored Army commanders' eyes were fiery.

At this moment, the blood in their bodies had boiled and burned!

Soldiers, by nature, belong to the battlefield.

But since the end-of-world torrent in the Upper Realm, they had not killed an enemy for thousands of years.

At most, they only conducted confrontation drills within the Black Armored Army.

They had all experienced one or two dark ages.

Some of these commanders were former Black Armored Army generals from the Lower Realm.

They knew the cruelty and bloodshed of the dark invasion.

It was precisely because of this that they were more motivated and wanted to drink the blood of dark creatures!

Why does the Black Armor Army exist?

Black Armor exists for protection!

Therefore, as Black Armor, following the Divine Monarch to fight against the darkness is the responsibility and mission of Black Armor!

"Go ahead, with your strength, I believe that in the end-of-world torrent in the Godly Ancient Lands, your performance will be much better than the end-of-world torrent in the Upper Realm back then.

Your servants and all the Black Armor soldiers will definitely live up to the Divine Monarch's expectations!"

The Black Armored commanders left.

Now their minds were full of completing the reorganization of the army as soon as possible so that they could go to the Godly Ancient World as soon as possible.

After all, setting up the battlefield in the Godly Ancient Lands and various pre-war preparations would take time to complete.

"You go too, you can get some special resources there to help you improve your strength."

After arranging the Black Armored Army, he also arranged for the King of the Desolate Descendants and the ancient ancestors and other powerhouses.

They all went to the passage between the two realms, only Zi Yun had not moved her feet, always standing beside Jun Wuxie.

Even Mi Qing and Mi Tian, as well as the toad, had gone to the Godly Ancient Lands.

“Aren't you going to Divine Ancient?”

“Going to Divine Ancient isn't urgent. I want to stay for a few days and then go to Divine Ancient with Lord Divine.”

“I can't stay in the Upper Realm for more than a few days; I still have to go to the Lower Realm.

You should go to Divine Ancient first. Shu Yuan went to Divine Ancient last night.”

“Yes, your subordinate obeys Lord Divine's decree.”

Zi Yun didn't say anything more and turned to leave.

Afterward, Jun Wu Xie's divine sense covered the entire Upper Realm, transmitting to the various major forces.

People from the various forces came out one after another, arriving at open spaces and kneeling towards the imperial city.

Lord Divine's divine sense decree!

Yesterday, there was news that Lord Divine had returned.

They were waiting for Lord Divine to appear, but unexpectedly, they received Lord Divine's decree.

Jun Wu Xie's decree was simple: to have them prepare as soon as possible and select a group of strong individuals to go to Divine Ancient to face the Doomsday Torrent.

The various forces began to take action.

Their high-level members, the ancient ancestors, all emerged from their secluded cultivation places.

Subsequently, they began to select people from the younger generation.

To let them go to Divine Ancient to fight against the darkness and temper themselves.

The younger generation of the various forces eagerly signed up, even fighting fiercely for a place to go to Divine Ancient to fight against the Doomsday Torrent, some even coming to blows.

The high-level members of their families felt both gratified and speechless.

They were gratified that everyone understood what darkness was, what it meant, and how terrifying it was.

Yet, even so, their younger generation was fearless, even rushing to be the first to go to the dark battlefield of Divine Ancient.

That was a place where they could very likely stain the battlefield with blood and lose their lives!

However, no one showed the slightest fear. Upon hearing that they were to kill the dark invaders, their blood boiled, and their fighting spirit soared.

Knowing that they might die in battle, they still felt unparalleled glory!

Sacrificing oneself to fight against the darkness was an honor that brought glory to one's ancestors!

This was a glory that everyone in the Upper Realm agreed with in their hearts!

… …

Ice Heart Pavilion.

When Jun Wu Xie arrived here, he was greeted by pairs of eyes filled with grievances and resentments.

Lord Divine had clearly returned two days ago. They heard that he even drank with Mi Tian and the others until late at night, but he only came to Ice Heart Pavilion today.

However, after seeing him, those grievances and resentments quickly disappeared without a trace, leaving only heartfelt joy.
