Xue Mo's awakening was short-lived.
Ye Zichen's words hadn't caused her to fall asleep, but rather, he'd severed the link between her and the Emperor Star's celestial fate.
He'd given her celestial fate only to confirm that it could awaken her.
In that instant, he realized that celestial fate really could wake Xue Mo from her slumber. So long as he was willing to maintain this connection, she'd be able to live like a normal person.
But he wouldn't do that, and the other great emperors wouldn't let him. "What should I do to wake Xue Mo up?" Ye Zichen said solemnly. "Based on what happened just now, it seems the celestial fate can awaken her, but in the end, she's not the Emperor Star's Master. There's no way to keep the celestial fate I sent into her body.
I have to keep her awake. "
"Someone who isn't the Emperor Star's Master naturally can't retain celestial fate, but there's someone in this world who doesn't have the Emperor Star, but who does?"
Who was he talking about?
Everyone present knew this very well!
Zhou Wu.
In his era, the heavens hadn't chosen two emperors. Back then, the Master of the Emperor Star should have been the Five Elements Great Emperor. Nevermind the Emperor Star, Zhou Wu wasn't even an Auxiliary Star.
Yet he'd usurped the Five Elements' celestial fate and become the current God Emperor.
The others might not know the truth, but Ye Zichen did.
Zhou Wu had obtained the Five Elements Great Emperor's celestial fate because he'd traded his heart for it in the Time Corridor. For the Hermit Emperor to suddenly say something like that, did he know the Time Corridor's secret?
Was he looking for a way to enter the Time Corridor?
"Of course, Zhou Wu is an anomaly. The fact that he obtained celestial fate can only mean that his luck is good. His method is something that can only be discovered by chance, not sought," said the Hermit Emperor.
"Hermit Emperor, what are you talking about? Can you not be so mystified?" Zhao Qianling frowned.
The others were confused as well. Only a few knew what the Hermit Emperor was talking about. Ye Zichen was one of them.
Based on the Hermit Emperor's words, he knew Zhou Wu had visited the Time Corridor.
But it didn't seem like he was looking for a way to enter the Time Corridor.
"There's something that can seal the Emperor Star's celestial fate within her body," said the Hermit Emperor.
"What is it? I'll order someone to find him right away, "said Xue Yang.
As the Sea Emperor of the Sea of Innocence, Xue Yang was also in charge of the entire Northern Divine Mountain. Given his manpower, wealth, and resources, it wasn't an exaggeration to say such things.
He wasn't the only one standing here. Zhao Qianling of the Jade Pool, Bi 'an of the Four Directions Palace, and Great Emperor Chao Feng of the Society of Sages were also present. If all of them were to search for the same thing at the same time, they would be able to find it in less than half a day.
Xue Yang's expression was solemn. The Hermit Emperor shook his head and smiled.
"Neither you nor I can go to a place with this item. Only Star Lord Ye can find it himself."
His words caused the great emperors to knit their brows. They obviously had far more places to go than Ye Zichen.
Ye Zichen could go, but they couldn't …
Xuan Ji seemed to suddenly think of something and arched her brows. Ye Rong glanced at her and before long, her brows furrowed as well.
At that moment, Ye Zichen looked straight into the Hermit Emperor's eyes.
"What is it? Where is it? I'll go!"
…
"You're back."
Ever since Ye Zichen and the others arrived at Xue Mo's place, Xiao Yumei had been waiting outside the room. Pu Jingwan sat on a tree trunk and tossed grapes into her mouth. When she saw Ye Zichen, she pushed the fruit platter into the air, jumped down, and landed by his side.
"Mm."
Ye Zichen nodded indifferently. From his expression, it was clear that he had a lot on his mind.
When she saw this, Xiao Yumei quietly followed him. Ye Zichen sat by the bed in silence for a long while.
Not even in his wildest dreams would he have guessed that the item the Hermit Emperor spoke of would be there.
He had to go to that place in the first place, but Xue Mo's situation made it so that he had no choice but to go.
"Is it a coincidence?"
Ye Zichen sat by the bed, his gaze deep as he rubbed his fingers together.
He didn't know when, but at some point, he'd once again felt like he was being led around by the nose. It was as if everything had been prearranged and he couldn't change anything.
He thought he'd escaped Gu Zichen's control and that his fate was his own to decide ….
Could it be that Gu Zichen was behind this?
That shouldn't be the case!
Ye Zichen rejected the thought as soon as it occurred to him.
Gu Zichen understood Ye Zichen's personality. Gu Zichen wouldn't be so shameless as to force him into submission.
"This really isn't a good feeling."
Ye Zichen rubbed his fingers together. When he came to his senses, he noticed that Xiao Yumei was standing guard by his side.
"I'm still here. Don't worry about me. I was just thinking about something," laughed Ye Zichen.
"I know you have a lot on your mind, but don't put too much pressure on yourself. Just let nature take its course. I don't like seeing you frown," said Xiao Yumei gently.
"I know."
When facing Xiao Yumei, Ye Zichen always felt like he was shrouded in tenderness.
She was very sensible!
She didn't ask or think too much about anything. She was always gentle and virtuous. Compared to the one by his side ….
"I'm so jealous. Can't you two take my feelings into consideration? You're so lovey-dovey. Do you want to live?"
Pu Jingwan rolled her eyes. The atmosphere in the room was instantly ruined.
"No one's going to take you for a mute if you talk a little less." Ye Zichen rolled his eyes, then took out his phone. "Yang Jian and the Great Sage have been talking a lot in the chat group, haven't they?"
"What are you talking about? After you left without saying goodbye, the chat group was flooded by the two of them. To tell the truth, those two brothers really care about you. I never would have guessed that with your character, you'd have friends like that. They're so loyal and devoted, tsk tsk tsk …. "Pu Jingwan couldn't help but shake her head.
"What do you mean by my character? I don't like what you're saying. Do I have any problems with my character?" Ye Zichen was speechless.
"Philandering, fickle, harem. In short, you're not a good person," said Pu Jingwan, tilting her head.
Ye Zichen was speechless. He scratched his head and clicked open the chat group in the app.
It was just as Pu Jingwan had said: there were only five people in the group, but there were over 999 messages.
Most of the messages were from Yang Jian and the Great Sage. Along the way, Ye Zichen saw Pu Jingwan joking around and Xiao Yumei comforting him.
Ye Zichen scrolled through the messages, then sent a message of his own.
Only Idealism: No need to worry. We'll meet soon. Erlang Shen, the Monkey King
