For the Ocean Emperor to look so serious, it was easy to imagine "his" identity.
Before coming here, Ye Zichen had already learned a few things from the Ocean Emperor. However, he hadn't explained too much. All he told Ye Zichen was to return to the Sea of Innocence and that his clone would tell him what was going on.
That's why Ye Zichen and the others had traveled through the night without stopping to get to the Sea of Innocence.
He wanted to learn more about "him" from the Ocean Emperor's clone.
"Earlier, the Ocean Emperor said a few things about him, but he didn't want to divulge too much, so he told us to come find you." Ye Zichen's eyes flashed with seriousness. "He's actually a demon …. Is that right?"
The Ocean Emperor's clone didn't respond right away. Instead, he took a sip of his tea.
"I can't divulge too much about him to the outside world, but that's only natural. If outsiders learn of this, they'll be in an uproar. Our Sea of Innocence might even be viewed as traitors of the god race. He naturally wouldn't dare divulge too much. "
"The Sea of Innocence will be viewed as traitors of the god race?"
Ye Zichen arched his brows. Yang Jian and the others were stunned as well. They didn't quite dare believe the clone's words.
The Sea of Innocence represented the Northern Divine Mountain. There had been nine Divine Mountains since the dawn of humanity in the Primordial Era. As the Northern Divine Mountain's holy land, the Sea of Innocence had always been a model for the other Divine Mountains. The various cities of the Divine Mountains were managed in an orderly fashion.
The Sea of Innocence's emperors had always been loyal to the God Emperor.
During this period of time, there had never been any rebellious thoughts. Only when it came to Zhou Wu's generation, the God Emperor was heartless, causing many heroes to rise up. If it wasn't for him being too ruthless, the other Divine Mountains' Monarchs wouldn't have parted ways with him.
But now the Ocean Emperor's clone was saying that the Sea of Innocence might be viewed as traitors.
If Ye Zichen wasn't mistaken, the person they were talking about was something from the previous emperor's era.
"Why do you say that, Ocean Emperor?" asked Ye Zichen in confusion.
"In truth, this is a secret of our Xue Family. The only people who truly know about 'him' are me and my true body, as well as the clan's grand elders. In other words, they're from my father's generation."
The Ocean Emperor sighed deeply and shook her head.
"Actually, we want to bring this matter to our graves. You can see it for yourself. I don't have any sons, only three daughters."
Ye Zichen nodded. Indeed, the Sea Emperor of the Sea of Innocence had no male heirs. He only had three princesses. "There's no need to say anything more about Bei Bei. His temperament isn't suitable to inherit the position of the Imperial Lord. Mo Mo is chivalrous and doesn't like to be bound. It's not good for her to inherit. Moreover, you also know that Mo Mo is the child of this Deity and the Jade Lake Palace Master. The Jade Lake Palace Master has no children, and the future Jade Lake also needs Mo Mo to inherit.
In that case, Honghong will be the only one who can assume the position of Sea Emperor in the future. She will definitely be informed of this matter. "
Ye Zichen nodded.
"You have a close relationship with Honghong."
Ye Zichen couldn't help but blush.
His relationship with Hong Hong had been exposed when he formed the Emperor Celestial Eye. At the time, he was still unconscious, and only Pu Jingwan had told him the details.
However, the great emperors present at the time had all noticed the romantic relationship between him and Xue Honghong.
He'd clearly wanted to find a suitable opportunity to reveal this, but he hadn't expected to reveal it to the world in such a manner.
But Ye Zichen didn't quite understand. Earlier, Xue Honghong had said she'd give him ten years, but she'd said she'd marry someone else in the future.
If Xue Honghong was the Sea Emperor's first successor, the Sea Emperor shouldn't have interfered with her feelings.
"Sea Emperor, did Honghong only think of inheriting the throne recently, or have you always wanted to?"
"Why do you ask?" asked the Sea Emperor.
Ye Zichen laughed, then repeated what Xue Honghong had told him, from the time they'd gotten together to the time they'd promised to marry each other.
The Sea Emperor nodded. "At the time, I did indeed want to marry her off to someone else. It was also to solidify the Sea of Innocence's position as a holy land of the Northern Divine Mountain. However, after her bloodline awakened, that idea faded. Passing the throne to her was only a recent thought. "
When she said this, the Sea Emperor didn't seem the slightest bit embarrassed.
Using their children as marriage partners was all too common for emperors like them.
"I see," Ye Zichen nodded.
"Don't try to change the topic. Let's not talk about the awakening of Reddie's bloodline … Let's talk about the fact that you, the Emperor Star, are related to our Reddie. My main body and I won't stop the two of you from interacting."
The Ocean Sovereign spoke casually, but her words revealed the importance of a well-matched family.
The Emperor Star!
If Xue Honghong's bloodline hadn't awakened, Ye Zichen's status as the Emperor Star would have been enough to marry the Sea Emperor's daughter. But if Ye Zichen wasn't, then she had to reconsider.
At the end of the day, no matter how brilliant the Ocean Empress was, she couldn't be immune! "That's not it." The Ocean Sovereign changed the topic and brought it back to "him". "If you ask Honghong about 'him', she won't hide it from you. That's why my main body and I decided to tell you about this. Otherwise, even if you're the Emperor Star, for the sake of the Sea of Innocence's Saint!
Ming, no matter what you say, we won't tell you these things. "
The Ocean Sovereign explained why he and his main body had decided to tell Ye Zichen about this.
What he'd said wasn't without reason. Although he hadn't interacted with Xue Honghong much, he was confident that if he asked her, she'd tell him everything he wanted to know.
Perhaps she'd hesitate, but she'd definitely tell him.
This was how women behaved in front of their loved ones. They wouldn't hide anything from their loved ones.
Rather than wait for Xue Honghong to tell them, the Ocean Emperor and the others might as well tell them themselves. That way, they could control the amount of information they revealed. They knew what they could and couldn't say.
"Then please tell me, Ocean Emperor." Ye Zichen cupped his hands in respect.
News about that person was extremely important to Ye Zichen.
As he spoke, the Ocean Emperor's clone raised his cup of tea and downed it. It was obvious that telling him about that person was no small amount of pressure. Otherwise, as the Ocean Emperor of the Sea of Innocence, he wouldn't have gone this far.
The Ocean Sovereign poured herself more than three cups of wine and drank it.
His actions stirred Ye Zichen and the others' hearts. They all wondered what kind of shocking news the Ocean Emperor would reveal in a moment.
"Ocean Emperor," said Ye Zichen, unable to restrain himself.
