East God Realm, the universe God Realm, and the bottom of the universe Tower.

It was dark here, and only a few points of mysterious jade released a dim light.

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

Even if this is an important place among the world's gods, no one can step in without the personal permission of the world's gods. However, layers of barriers are still spread out.

In the center of the dark space, Zhou Qingchen sat quietly there, this was his 229th day here.

He remembered it very clearly because every day here is longer than his thousand-year life.

In the past, he had been in seclusion for several years, and he had been quiet. But these few months had made him feel 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 shone in, not strong, but it made Zhou Qingchen subconsciously raise his hand and block it in front of him.

Being imprisoned here, he should clearly desire light. However, these tiny lights made him feel dazzling.

Because, now he is a demon.

"Father." Zhou Qingchen stood up and bowed in a regular manner.

Zhou Xuzi slowed down and walked over. In just a few months, he seemed to have a little older, but his face still had a gentle smile like the wind: "Qingchen, how did you think of it recently?"

Zhou Qingchen said: "Return to Father, in the past half month, the dark mysterious energy has not moved. The child's heart has also calmed down a lot."

"That's good." Zhou Xuzi smiled and nodded: "The situation is much better than I imagined, which also shows that our ancestors have been protecting each other in secret. Therefore, you must firmly believe that the darkness on your body will be purified for one day."

This time, Zhou Qingchen did not respond as before, but suddenly said: "Father, my child has been meditating for a while, and some thoughts that he might not have had in his heart. I don't know if he should ask his father."

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

"Children want to ask..." As he was about to leave, Zhou Qingchen hesitated. Facing his father's gentle gaze, he finally asked: "Is Dark Mysterious Li really so unforgivable?"

"Oh?" Zhou Xuzi frowned slightly, but he still maintained gentleness, and said with a smile: "The dark mysterious power is a symbol of negative power. When there is no dark mysterious power in the world, there is no power of sin. Especially for us who inherit the legacy of God, eliminating the dark mysterious power in the world is a mission that needs no words but has been upheld for generations."

"Why did you suddenly ask this?"

When Zhou Qingchen first practiced the mysterious Taoism, he heard Zhou Xuzi and many people said these words countless times. He never questioned them because it was a basic cognition like water and fire that cannot be compatible.

Facing his father's gaze, he expressed his truest doubts: "Demons with dark mysterious power will be destroyed by dark mysterious power, become fierce, bloodthirsty and cruel, and do not hesitate to any sin for their own benefit... Dark mysterious power is a heresy in the world. As a mysterious person in the divine world, no matter how he encounters demons, monsters, or demon spirits, he must destroy them with all his strength."

"So, after becoming a demon, I have been afraid of becoming a monster whose human nature has gradually been destroyed and no conscience."

Zhou Xuzi: "..."

He raised his hands, and as the mysterious power was circulating, a layer of black air slowly floated up in the palm of his palm. His fingers did not tremble, his eyes and voice were still calm: "It has been more than seven months, and the frequency of dark mysterious power riots is getting lower and lower. My body has completely adapted to its existence. Compared to the beginning, I am more a real demon now."

"But..." He slowly closed his eyes: "Why, I didn't feel that I had become such a beast. My reason and my guilt still exist clearly. What I didn't want to do or can't do before is still unwilling to do or cannot do now."

"The only negative change that can be clearly felt is that when the dark mysterious energy riots, the emotions will also be irritable..."

His hands raised a little more, and the dark mysterious energy between his fingers became stronger: "Father, is the dark mysterious power not that scary? Our understanding of dark mysterious power and demons has always been wrong from the beginning?"

"Enough!"

A angrily rebuke dispelled all the gentleness on Zhou Xuzi's face. As the God Emperor who upholds the most righteous way in the world and has been committed to eliminating darkness and sin for his life, he could not believe or accept such words, and he said it from his son and from the chosen successor of the Zhoutian.

That's more than a traitor!

Zhou Xuzi, who was rarely angry, raised his eyebrows and slapped out... But his eyes touched the black air in Zhou Qingchen's hand, and his eyes trembled, pressing down the rising anger, stretched out his palm, eliminating the dark aura released by Zhou Qingchen in an instant.

"Qingchen, how could you say such words?" Zhou Xuzi's expression kept calm, but his voice trembled slightly: "Dark is a heresy that cannot be tolerated in the world. The principle of the world here is the teaching of the ancestors! It is the way of heaven!"

Faced with Zhou Xuzi's reprimand, Zhou Qingchen, who was respectful and obedient in his daily life, suddenly took a step back, and the tone was heavier than before: "If darkness is really a sin that cannot be tolerated by the world, then why... the Demon Emperor of the Tribulation of Heaven sacrificed himself and the entire clan for the safety of the world!"

"Why would the Tiansha Star God, who controls the Wheel of Evil Infant, appear at the risk of being encircled and suppressed to block the Chaos Wall!"

"Why did Yun Che, who was carrying dark mysterious power, face the Demon Emperor alone to save the world..."

"shut up!"

Bang!

With a long sleeve, a heavy slap swept Zhou Qingchen away. Zhou Xuzi's hair was standing upside down, and his whole body was trembling: "Qingchen, do you... do you know what you are talking about? You are already crazy! You have begun to be eroded by the dark mysterious power! Give me a good sense of enlightenment!"

"Cough... Cough cough." Zhou Qingchen held the wall and stood up slowly. He wiped the blood marks from the corner of his mouth with his fingers, lowered his head, and said slowly: "People who are not awake will only be crazy and nonsense. And what the child said just now is what the father and the child saw with their own eyes and experienced with their own experiences..."

"I can't stop talking yet!"

Bang!

Zhou Xuzi's whole body was bleeding and rushing to the top, and the Xuanyu under his feet burst into pieces, and the powder flew everywhere.

Zhou Qingchen's long hair was dispersed and he was breathing violently. Slowly, his body knelt on the ground, his head drooped: "The child was offended... The father forgives his crime."

For Zhou Qingchen, the darkest 200 days became his most sobering period.

Only by inheriting darkness can one truly understand darkness.

Perhaps, this is the cruelest thing about Yun Che's first revenge on Zhou Tian.

It not only destroyed the body of this heir of the universe, but also destroyed the belief that he had always believed in and held firmly.

Blood drops slowly fell from the corner of Zhou Qingchen's lips, and each drop pricked on Zhou Xuzi's heart and soul. All the anger was replaced by the sting. He sighed and walked forward slowly. His fingers pointed out, and the mysterious light flashed light, which had faded away the red marks on Zhou Qingchen's face.

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

"This is a promise for the father, to his most important son."

"Boy... believe in the father." Zhou Qingchen responded softly, but his head was always buried under the radius and did not lift it up.

Zhou Xuzi turned around and left, his steps silently, but he was extremely heavy.

Walking out of the barriers, Zhou Xuzi did not leave the Tower of the universe, but went to the bottom, which is also the most secret place in the world of the universe.

There is the location of the Eternal Dzi bead.

However, his steps were sometimes heavy and sometimes erratic.

"The teachings of ancestors...the ambitions of the universe...the pursuits in life...the struggles in half a lifetime...how could it be wrong, how could it be wrong..." he murmured, over and over again.

During this period, he came to find the Zhoutian Pearl Spirit again and again, hoping that he could recall some ancient memories and find a way to save Zhou Qingchen. But every time he got the answer, he was "Yun Che could force it to be able to remove it... and it was the only possibility."

Just as he was about to step into the forbidden territory where the Eternal Dzi bead was located, someone suddenly came from his soul.

This voice transmission made his feet stop, his whole body tremble violently, and he turned his body away at an extremely fast speed.

After leaving the Zhoutian Tower, Venerable Taiyu was waiting for him in the main hall. Zhou Xuzi fell straight in front of him and said loudly: "Taiyu, what you said is true!?"

"Thousands of truth and true." Venerable Taiyu nodded slowly. With his rank, if it were not ten percent, even if it was only ninety percent, he would not say the four words "Thousands of truth and true".

"Can you know the details?" Zhou Xuzi said.

Venerable Taiyu shook his head: "It is hard to know the details. Yun Che has indeed fallen into the hands of the Demon Queen of the Tribulation Soul, and the Yama World has also asked for someone from the Demon Queen."

"Yan Mo Realm?" Zhou Xuzi frowned slightly.

"Well." Venerable Taiyu said: "Although Yun Che is in the dark mysterious power, for the Northern Divine Realm, they are people from the Eastern Divine Realm after all. They have hated the Eastern Divine Realm for eternal hatred. After they recognize Yun Che, they will naturally regard it as an alien heresy."

"In addition to the evil god inheritance and the Heavenly Poison Pearl on him, there will be a possibility of hearing it at the King Realm of the Northern God Realm. Therefore, once Yun Che is exposed in the Northern God Realm, it will be difficult."

"He appeared in the Taichu Divine Realm before, and should have exposed his identity. In order to escape from the pursuit, he was forced to escape into the Taichu Divine Realm. After hurting Qingchen and exposing his whereabouts, he was forced to flee back to the Northern Divine Realm."

"Before he fell into the hands of the demon queen, he seemed to have deeply sinned against her. As for Yan Mo, he was killed by him. It seems that although Yun Che's strength changes are really weird, he is also surrounded by enemies in the Northern God Realm."

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

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

"It should be a month ago." Venerable Taiyu said, then frowned: "The Demon Queen clearly agreed to this matter, but after succeeding, there was no movement for a whole month. Maybe after she took Yun Che, she had no intention of 'trading' him. After all, how could she let go of Yun Che's secret!"

"No," Zhou Xuzi shook his head slowly: "The secret is just a secret after all, invisible or touched. But my chips are something she can't refuse. What's more, what I proposed was to force Yun Che to relieve the darkness on Zhou Qingchen, and promised not to kill him or bring him back to the East God Realm... She had no reason to refuse."

"She is sure that I will get news sooner or later, and wait for me to contact her."

Venerable Taiyu sighed softly, and he knew that even if he became completely passive, Zhou Xuzi would definitely surrender.

"After the demon, cunning and greedy, the more anxious I am, the more she will ask for a price all over the place... But Qingchen couldn't wait. His mind had begun to be eroded by the darkness. One more day, there would be a little more variable. If it was too late, there might be a possibility that it would be completely irreversible, alas." Zhou Xuzi looked tired: "But fortunately, she really took Yun Che."

Venerable Taiyu 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: "It's impossible for her to refuse that chip. No one... can refuse."

Venerable Taiyu frowned deeply and asked, "Master, why are the bargaining chips you use?"

As soon as he said that, he suddenly thought of something, his face changed suddenly, and he said in surprise: "Can it be... it's..."

Zhou Xuzi closed his eyes and said nothing.

Jingrong was frozen on the face of Master Taiyu, and it took him a long time to slow down. He sighed and said, "The Lord has spent half his life for the world and for the present world. He should live for himself once."

Zhou Xuzi said slowly: "After this matter, I will no longer be the Emperor of the Heaven of the World. Let Qingchen pay the price himself."

"Taiyu...Thank you for your words just now." He said sincerely. Although Venerable Taiyu was just a short sentence, it was a great spiritual comfort for him.

Venerable Taiyu smiled and shook his head: "Why do you and my brothers need these remarks? But the Demon Queen is not only cunning, but her soul power is even more weird and terrifying. I have already experienced it back then. Be careful."

"Don't worry." Zhou Xuzi said: "If I were not comprehensive enough, how could I step into the border of the Northern Region? Before this, how to hide my whereabouts is the most important thing... Taiyu, please."

"Don't worry, Lord."

Putting away the soundproof barrier, Taiyu left. In his memory, this was the first time that Zhou Xuzi had truly had a selfish heart for himself after he was elected as emperor.

Perhaps, only Zhou Qingchen can make him do this.
