Chapter 1250: Emperor Hades Exiting Seclusion
He couldn't do it.
Those three words struck Xue Mo's heart like a sledgehammer. All of her hopes, all of her hopes, all of them, vanished like smoke in the wind.
Her delicate face was deathly pale, and her arms trembled uncontrollably. Tears welled up in her eyes.
Ye Zichen knit his brows. He naturally didn't think Su Yiyun was saying this because he didn't want to help them, but saying it so bluntly was a huge blow to Xue Mo ….
"You should all know that the River Styx's other name is the River of Time."
Su Yiyun stood in the center of the great hall and spoke once more.
"The souls of everyone who died in the Upper Three Realms return here. It's true that you can find their souls and revive them. However, you might not know this, but the River Styx is actually a divine artifact belonging to my master, Emperor Hades. "
"What?"
When Ye Zichen heard this, he trembled. This river that separated the human and yao realms, the one that brought countless souls back to this place, was actually one of Emperor Hades' divine artifacts.
How was this possible?
"You're saying the River Styx is Emperor Hades's divine artifact?" asked Ye Zichen. "Are you sure you're not joking? The River Styx has existed since the beginning of the Upper Three Realms. Even the souls of the dead must sink here. Is it a divine artifact? "
"That's right!"
In the face of Ye Zichen's questions, Su Yiyun nodded without showing any sign of weakness.
"It is a divine artifact! In truth, reviving Chen Guangfa isn't difficult at all. He's an early-stage sky supreme. Given my master's strength, he shouldn't suffer too much backlash. It's just that he's in seclusion right now, and I don't know when he'll come out. I can't use the river, so I can only tell you that I'm powerless. "
"Then the artifact spirit …." said Ye Zichen.
"Ye-zi, say no more. Given our relationship, if I really could help you, I wouldn't be telling you all this. I said that just now to explain to you that I really can't do it. "
Su Yiyun cut Ye Zichen off.
"If there's nothing else, you should hurry up and leave. As you can see, the River Styx is currently in a state of war. The yao might attack at any moment and try to force their way across. At this time, this place will be the main battlefield for the Gods, Yao, and Demons. Let's leave while it's still safe. "
Ye Zichen remained silent. He knew that Su Yiyun was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
"Do you need help?" asked Ye Zichen. He no longer pursued Chen Guangfa's question.
"Probably not in the short term, but I'm not sure about the future. However, Master has already prepared a contingency plan for me, so it shouldn't be a problem. "
"Alright. If you need help, go find Zuo Mo in Flame City. I'll tell her about our relationship in advance and get her to send people to help you. At the same time, contact me. Even if I can't be of much help, I'll still stand by your side."
"Alright."
Ye Zichen hugged her tightly, then stood up with a long sigh.
"Then we won't bother you any longer. Good luck."
With that, Ye Zichen looked at Xue Mo, who was still sitting in her chair.
"Let's go."
Xue Mo seemed to have lost her soul. She didn't react at all. Ye Zichen sighed, then reached out and grabbed her arm.
After learning that she couldn't save Chen Guangfa, Xue Mo returned to her original state.
She allowed Ye Zichen to drag her out of the palace. At that moment, a low voice rang out from within Emperor Hades' palace.
"If you can convince your father to sign an alliance with the River Styx, and if you can send a clone or your true body to guard the River Styx for the next twenty years, I can find that youth in the River Styx."
When Xue Mo heard this, she froze in shock. She looked behind her in bewilderment.
"Dare I ask, are you Emperor Hades?"
"That's right."
A middle-aged man in his thirties suddenly walked into the palace. He was seven feet tall and of medium build. His hair was neatly coiled into a bun, and there was a strand of silver in the center of his black hair.
His purple robes exuded an air of nobility, and his peach-blossoming eyes brimmed with boundless charm.
"Master," said Su Yiyun in shock. "You …. You've left seclusion!"
When Ye Zichen saw him, he froze as well. If this was Emperor Hades, then what was that kid doing back then?
He hadn't seen him in half a year, but he'd aged so quickly.
Emperor Hades nodded and smiled at Su Yiyun, then stepped in front of Xue Mo.
"What do you think? Can you do it?"
Xue Mo looked at his smiling face and pursed her lips. She didn't say anything for a long while.
She was delighted that Emperor Hades had appeared at a time like this, but she hesitated over his conditions.
The River Styx and her family represented two peak-level powers. This sort of alliance had enormous influence on both sides. Furthermore, Emperor Hades had asked her father to send either his true body or a clone to guard the River Styx.
Even if her father doted on her, she didn't think she could do it.
"Your Majesty, can't you ask for something else?" asked Xue Mo.
"Of course not." Emperor Hades's tone left no room for negotiation. "If you want to save him, this is the only way. What, you're the Sea God Xue Yang's most beloved second daughter. Can't you persuade that stubborn old geezer? "
"My request isn't excessive. If yao and demons invade, the Divine Mountains won't be spared. I'm only doing this to bring forward our alliance. Are you sure you don't want to try? "
After a while, Xue Mo bit her lip and said, "I can try."
"Alright." Emperor Hades nodded in satisfaction. "So long as you can convince Xue Yang, I'll immediately find that youth from the River of Time. You can go back now."
With that, Emperor Hades brushed his sleeves at Xue Mo.
In the blink of an eye, Xue Mo vanished from Emperor Hades's secondary palace.
Ye Zichen stared at Emperor Hades in astonishment. This Emperor Hades was far too different from the youth he'd seen before.
"Are you really Emperor Hades?"
"Of course. When you saw me, I was in my waning years. That's why I looked like a youth." Emperor Hades smiled calmly.
"This junior greets Emperor Hades." After confirming that he really was Emperor Hades, Ye Zichen bowed respectfully.
"There's no need for that." Emperor Hades dragged Ye Zichen to his feet, then laughed. "I have to thank you. If you hadn't brought my precious daughter, Xue Yang, I wouldn't have been able to carry out my plans. Now that she'd asked, Xue Yang wouldn't have refused. Right, did you bring the Xuan-Yuan Sword? Let me see it! "
"What do you want?" asked Ye Zichen vigilantly.
