Su Zimo kept the white jade pendant and suddenly thought of something else. He asked, "How long is the lifespan of a Great Emperor?"
Die Yue said, "The lifespan of an Emperor is about ten million years. If a Great Emperor belongs to the next realm, his lifespan will definitely be more than ten million years."
"And almost none of the Great Emperors in history had a good ending. Most of them died in that catastrophe, so it's hard to estimate their lifespan."
Su Zimo said, "As far as I know, the Longevity Great Emperor of the last era had a good ending and his lifespan was only twenty million years."
"There are two possibilities."
Die Yue said, "First, a Great Emperor's lifespan is twenty million years. Second, the living beings in the Middle World are restricted by the laws of heaven and earth, so their lifespan is only twenty million years. "
"Something's still not right."
Su Zimo shook his head. "Although the Six Paths and the Middle World exist side by side, it's still below the Greater World. Logically speaking, the Great Emperors of the Six Paths should also have an upper lifespan. “
"But the Demon Lord and the Evil Emperor have existed since a few eras ago. It's probably been hundreds of millions of years since then. How could they have lived for so long?"
Die Yue shook her head.
She couldn't figure it out either.
For a few eras, most of the Great Emperors in the Middle World had died in the catastrophe, but the Demon Lord and the Evil Emperor had lived until now!
Su Zimo pondered. "Or could it be that the Demon Lord and the Evil Emperor had died long ago, but could be revived in every era?"
But soon, Su Zimo rejected this idea.
A Great Emperor was already the upper limit of a Middle World's power.
What kind of power would it take to revive a Great Emperor?
Even the Heavenly Burial Scripture couldn't do it.
"Why did Cang invade the Great Wilderness?"
Su Zimo asked.
"I don't know, and it's not important."
Die Yue said, "Do you remember what I told you? The Upper World is like a bloody and dark forest. The survival of all races is like walking on thin ice, and other forces can barge in at any time to kill as they please."
"In the eyes of Cang, all the living beings of the great wilderness are nothing more than a bunch of ants."
"There's no need for a reason. At first, Cang didn't even put the creatures of the Great Wilderness in his eyes. He just stepped on them like it was just a casual step in the forest. He didn't even look down."
"Merely, it didn't expect to step on a stone."
As she spoke, Die Yue's gaze shifted to the ground not far away.
In an instant, it was as if time had accelerated.
On the hard ground, there were a few stalks of tender grass that were tenaciously growing. They were full of vitality and exuded the vitality of life.
A butterfly fluttered in the air and landed on a few stalks of grass.
Suddenly!
A gust of wind blew past, sending sand and stones flying.
This gust of wind came very suddenly. It swept across the butterfly's body and destroyed its thin wings, as if it wanted to blow it far away and tear it into pieces.
This butterfly seemed so weak and helpless in the fierce wind.
The wings on its back were almost broken!
However, the butterfly remained motionless the entire time, silently fighting against the howling winds around it!
"Look at that stalk of grass. No matter how hard the ground is, it will eventually break out of the ground."
Suddenly, Die Yue's voice sounded, "This gust of wind can blow sand and stones, but it can't move a weak butterfly."
"That's life."
"No matter how weak a race is, it's still life."
"And the power of life lies in its unwillingness to submit!"
When he heard that, Su Zimo's heart skipped a beat.
At that moment, he sensed Die Yue's Dao!
It was because of her unwillingness to submit that Die Yue was able to rise from the weakest butterfly race to where she was today!
Die Yue asked again, "Do you know why I imparted you Dao techniques in Ping Yang Town back then?"
Su Zimo replied, "You once said that you wanted to end this karma."
"That's only one of the reasons."
Die Yue said, "If you had chosen to submit and compromise in the face of Perfected Jin Dan's bullying, I would have imparted you Dao techniques and ended this karma as well. However, I wouldn't have taught you cultivation personally or left you any gifts."
"It's precisely because you didn't kneel that I sensed the unwillingness to submit from you, the power of life."
Realization dawned on Su Zimo.
It was no wonder why Die Yue did not speak to him much even after staying in his residence for two years.
However, after that incident, Die Yue took the initiative to look for him, wanting to impart her Dao techniques and bring him on the path of cultivation!
Right then, the butterfly that was initially persevering in the raging winds suddenly flapped its wings gently.
Instantly, the entire world seemed to have stopped!
The next moment, the flapping wings on the butterfly's back created an even more terrifying gust of wind that swept in all directions!
As for the butterfly, it stood in the midst of the gust like a divine being!
Gradually, two balls of purple flames appeared in Su Zimo's eyes.
What happened earlier on was not a coincidence.
Die Yue was imparting her Dao!
Of course, a single Dao technique could not raise Su Zimo's cultivation realm. However, the two true bodies could gain a lot of insights from it.
Looking at Su Zimo who was comprehending the Dao technique, Die Yue nodded slightly with a look of admiration in her eyes.
Right then, Die Yue's expression changed as though she had sensed something. Looking into the distance, she suddenly vanished from the spot.
…
Butterfly Valley.
In the conference hall.
By the time Die Yue arrived, the eight Demon Emperors of the Eastern Wilderness were all present!
"What's the matter?"
Die Yue sat in the middle with her blood-red robes and exuded a powerful aura as she asked indifferently.
Beside Su Zimo, Die Yue would inadvertently reveal her weak side. However, in front of others, she was the powerful and invincible Blood Butterfly Demon Emperor whose name shook the entire Vast Wilderness!
"There's a commotion from the Tai Ah Mountain Range."
Dragon Emperor Huang Hai sat on his chair without standing up and said in a deep voice, "Cang should be making a move on the Tai Ah Mountain Range. I'm afraid Tian Wu won't be able to defend against it alone."
"Tian Wu's collusion technique is dead. “
Die Yue said.
Hearing that, the Demonic Emperors' expressions changed slightly.
Great Peng Demon Emperor said, "If that's the case, let's give up on the Tai Ah Mountain Range. We can't even take care of ourselves and can't help."
"It's not appropriate to give up."
Divine Elephant Demon Emperor frowned and said, "There are dozens of countries in the Tai Ah Mountain Range with billions of lives. Once we give up, Cang will invade and slaughter countless races."
"Then what should we do?"
Black Snake Demon Emperor said, "If we go and help, our mountain range will be empty and Cang will take advantage of it. The losses will be even greater."
Dragon Emperor Huang Hai suddenly said, "If Xue Die appears, she should be able to defend against Cang's attack. However …"
Pausing, Dragon Emperor Huang Hai looked at Die Yue and said, "It hasn't been long since the last battle. Xue Die, your injuries …"
Die Yue looked at Dragon Emperor Huang Hai expressionlessly and said, "What are you trying to say?"
"Nothing."
Dragon Emperor Huang Hai said, "I'm thinking that if your injuries haven't healed, we won't be able to defend the Tai Ah Mountain Range. If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the entire Eastern Wilderness is devoured by Cang."
"If that's the case, why should we continue to persist? The sooner we submit, the sooner we may be able to accomplish something under Cang's command with our battle prowess. "
