When Yan Zhaoge told the story to Astro Sovereign, he didn't try to defend himself. Instead, his words were objective and calm.
Astro Sovereign didn't let Yan Zhaoge wait either.
"I don't agree with the Kirin Cliff's opinion on Yin Tianxia and Hu Yuexin in the past or your family today." Astro Sovereign said calmly.
He first nodded, but then shook his head.
"Unfortunately, no matter what it is, it's not convenient for me to interfere. It was like that in the past, and it's the same now."
Having already been reminded by the Female Emperor, Yan Zhaoge wasn't too disappointed.
"Your Majesty, are you … unable to leave here?" He looked at Astro Sovereign and asked in a low voice.
"Yes." Astro Sovereign looked calm.
However, a crack gradually appeared on his forehead, as if it were a scar. Within the scar, a blue light could be faintly seen.
As soon as this scar appeared, Yan Zhaoge instantly felt as though he had returned to the Nine Underworlds!
The world of ice and snow in front of him didn't change, but it gave off a terrifying feeling of distortion. The world turned into a white abyss that swallowed the sky.
"Astro Sovereign …" Yan Zhaoge frowned.
The man sealed in the ice pillar smiled. The blue luster on his forehead faded, and the wound healed. His skin became smooth again, without any scars.
"It's the choice I made in the past. No matter how the situation develops, I have to take responsibility for it." Astro Sovereign said calmly, "Now we are in a stalemate. I have no choice."
Yan Zhaoge took a deep breath and said, "Astro Sovereign, the demon you want to suppress seems to be extraordinary."
Astro Sovereign nodded and said, "Exactly. It's Gui Shui Demon. He was looking for a chance to be reborn after he died last time. He is only one step away from being reborn. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to fight him here."
"Indeed …" Yan Zhaoge sighed.
Gui Shui Demon was one of the Six Great Demons among the Twelve Devilish Gods. He was one of the strongest demons in the world.
If he was reborn and recovered to his peak state, even many Daoist Heavenly Venerables would find it difficult to match him.
Since ancient times, the Ice Demon, the Water Demon, the Mist Demon, the Blood Demon, and many other incarnations of the Great Demons had been born. Most of them were ferocious for a period of time and were famous for their might.
The Six Extinct Demons were all leaders of the Demonic Dao. They were extremely powerful.
Even if they were to perish, if they encountered the right opportunity, there was a possibility of rebirth.
However, before or right after his rebirth, his strength would not be at its peak, and he would need some time to recover.
Back then, the Sword Devil Yin Shiyang had challenged the Sword God Yan Xintang once more right after he had turned to the dark side.
Although his strength had increased, there was still a world of difference between him and the Devil of Aged Metal at his peak.
In the end, the Devil of Aged Metal, who had just been reborn, was once again destroyed. It could be said that it was fate.
The time it took for the Great Devil Incarnation's power to increase was related to the cultivation of the Great Devil Incarnation.
The higher the cultivation of the body, the shorter the time needed.
However, no matter how short it was, it was still much faster than any other cultivation method.
The Buddha light of the Pure Land and the treasure light of the Immortal Court were far inferior.
Of course, this was because before the demon died, his cultivation was too strong. There was a limit to how many demons like this could exist.
But even so, if he became a Great Demon and successfully found a body for his incarnation, he would quickly return to his peak.
Now, the Water Devil hadn't been reborn, so Astro Sovereign could still suppress the Devil Intent.
However, he could only stay here for a long time.
"This place is close to the Nine Underworlds, so the Devil Intent is easy to breed. He would rather suppress it here than in the World beyond Worlds …" Yan Zhaoge pondered and said, "Is it because this place is between the Nine Underworlds and the human world, where the evil and the bright meet, so they have reached a certain balance?"
Astro Sovereign looked at Yan Zhaoge with praise, "It's really rare for you to have such insight at such a young age."
As he said that, he shook his head slightly, "At that time, the Water Devil had already been on the right track. Normally speaking, it would be hard to stop his rebirth."
"I tried my best and succeeded by luck. But if I stayed in the World beyond Worlds, although it would be easier for me, once the Great Devil made up his mind and temporarily gave up the idea of rebirth, he might lead the entire Nine Underworlds to invade the World beyond Worlds."
Hearing that, Yan Zhaoge nodded.
Even if the Water Devil hadn't been reborn yet, once the Six Supreme Devils sacrificed themselves, the crack of the Nine Underworlds would be so huge that it might directly swallow the entire World beyond Worlds into the Nine Underworlds.
"Staying in the void between the human world and the Nine Underworlds, the Great Devil wouldn't have the idea of sacrificing himself for the World beyond Worlds in a short period of time."
Because it wasn't enough to pose a direct threat to Astro Sovereign and the others.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate.
And this stalemate lasted for thousands of years.
Astro Sovereign Chen Xuanzong, one of the first three sovereigns of the World beyond Worlds, disappeared in the World beyond Worlds.
He suppressed the Great Devil alone in this desolate void for thousands of years.
Yan Zhaoge sighed.
Although he had prepared for the worst, he still couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
As expected, Astro Sovereign couldn't help to help.
It wasn't that he didn't want to help, but that he was trapped here and had no time to spare for other things.
"The Water Devil is one of the Twelve Devilish Gods and the leader of the Devil Dao. His rebirth will definitely affect the hearts of the Nine Underworlds' devils." Yan Zhaoge said with a serious expression, "Don't you think you're alone here?"
Astro Sovereign shook his head, "It doesn't matter. In this state, unless the Water Devil sacrificed himself, he couldn't communicate with the other Nine Underworlds' devils."
The Water Devil's situation was special. He was already on the road of rebirth, but he was stuck halfway.
"Your majesty, forgive me for asking …" Yan Zhaoge asked in a low voice, "… Are you the embodiment of the Water Devil?"
Astro Sovereign in the ice pillar looked calm and didn't feel offended, "My body can indeed be the embodiment of that Great Devil."
Yan Zhaoge almost blurted out and wanted to ask whether Chu Lili could also be the embodiment of the Water Devil.
However, Yan Zhaoge forcibly swallowed the words when they were about to say it.
Although he was very curious about what happened in the past, Yan Zhaoge was happy to listen to Astro Sovereign talk about it on his own. If Astro Sovereign didn't want to talk about it, it would be too rude for him to ask him directly.
Even though the two families were very close because of the relationship between their ancestors, some things couldn't be asked casually.
After blinking, Yan Zhaoge changed the topic, "If it weren't for Female Emperor, I wouldn't have the chance to meet you. However, Female Emperor seemed to be busy just now and didn't intend to come down with me …"
"Although I can't help you with my incarnation, but …" Astro Sovereign didn't continue Yan Zhaoge's words after a moment of silence. Instead, he directly changed the topic, "If you don't want to leave the World beyond Worlds, you can find someone else to help you."
