"Your Majesty, I'll see you off here."
Outside the God Realm, Elder Lin stood by Ye Zichen's side as he bid the God Emperor farewell.
Under the God Emperor's heavy-handed policies, none of the gods dared object. They all knelt and obeyed the God Emperor's proclamation to ally with the Epoch Era.
The Epoch Era had many matters to attend to, so Ye Zichen couldn't stay for long.
"That's fine."
As he spoke, the God Emperor glanced at the gods behind him.
"I'm afraid I'll need to mediate the internal affairs of the God Realm as well. Heavy-Handed policies aren't the way to solve problems. I'll have to go back and calm the people down."
"I've troubled you, Your Majesty," said Ye Zichen.
"It's no problem. This is how things should be." The God Emperor laughed. "You don't understand the current state of the God Realm, Master of the Stars. Although we don't have internal strife and external aggression, we're more or less in the same boat. Even if you hadn't ascended, an alliance with the Epoch Era would've been necessary. "
Ye Zichen chuckled. The God Emperor cupped his fists heartily.
"We'll part ways here!"
"We'll part ways here!"
A black-hole-like vortex appeared before them, and they walked into it, shoulder-to-shoulder.
Ye Zichen passed through the Black Hole Gate with relative ease.
The Epoch Era and the God Realm were billions of miles apart, but in a few breaths of time, they arrived outside the Epoch Era.
When he looked down, he saw the Third Era, the place where the Gods, Yao, and Demons lived. Ye Zichen gazed off into the distance and saw a tiny, azure planet. This was the home he often dreamed of.
He knew the way home!
Unfortunately, he couldn't go back yet.
"Do you see it?"
Elder Lin noticed Ye Zichen's gaze and chuckled. This world had long since been imprinted in his mind. He didn't even need to look to know where Ye Zichen was looking.
That water-covered planet used to be his favorite place.
It was there that he'd met the love of his life. He'd once wanted to spend the rest of his life with her, but she had her own destiny. All he could do was watch her grow old and leave him.
"I see it!"
"What a beautiful planet. No matter how you look at it, it's brimming with life. Unlike the Foreign Realm Celestial Race and the Third Era's Celestial Race, they look like withered leaves from the outside. "Elder Lin sighed.
"Yes!"
Ye Zichen's eyes were filled with indescribable emotion. It was just as Elder Lin had said. Of all the planets he'd seen, the one he'd once lived on was the most beautiful. However, there were still many people who were not grateful for the blessing of this planet and wantonly destroyed the ecological environment here.
If he could return one day, Ye Zichen would do everything in his power to protect this beautiful planet.
"Do you want to go back?" Elder Lin smiled.
Hearing that, Ye Zichen looked towards Elder Lin.
Do you want to go back?
Of course he wanted to go back. After running around for so long, who would say they didn't want to go back?
However —
"The current me doesn't seem to be qualified to go back yet!"
"I will go back." Elder Lin patted him on the shoulder and said, "After you settle the matters here, I will judge whether or not I can let you return to that planet. Don't blame me, this old man also likes that place very much. I don't want it to be threatened at all. "
"You're the mighty King of the Laws. Can't you protect a planet?" asked Ye Zichen.
"Some things are not as simple as you think!" Elder Lin sighed indifferently. "There are actually far too many things in the Milky Way that the Divine Emperor and I cannot control."
When Ye Zichen saw that Elder Lin seemed to want to say something, he glanced at him a few more times, but didn't reply.
I don't like trouble!
"Alright, you and the Divine Emperor seem to have quite a few secrets, but I'm not really interested right now. Don't tell me. Even if you do, I won't listen, "Ye Zichen shrugged.
"You …" Elder Lin smiled helplessly.
What he didn't know was that even if Ye Zichen wanted to listen, he wouldn't tell him right now.
There are some things that the current Ye Zichen can't know!
"Oh, right. When we left, the Divine Emperor seemed to be acting a bit strange."
At that moment, Ye Zichen suddenly recalled the last time he saw the Divine Emperor before entering the black hole. At the time, he felt that the Divine Emperor's expression was very strange, but since Elder Lin had already entered the black hole, Ye Zichen didn't ask him about it.
"Something's wrong with him?"
Ye Zichen nodded, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.
It was just a feeling. It felt like something was wrong with him.
"Perhaps it's because you agreed to our request and let go of the heavy burden weighing down on your heart. He can't help but want to vent his emotions, but he has to restrain himself in front of you. That's why you find it strange, right?"
Elder Lin laughed, but didn't take Ye Zichen's words to heart.
"You don't need to worry about him. Didn't you keep saying that the situation in your era is terrible? Go back and deal with it as soon as possible. Once you're done, you can contact me through Lin Ru. "
"Lin Ru?"
"That's right. Not long ago, I sent her to your era. She should be in Chaos City right now, right?"
… …
… …
… …
The Divine Emperor watched as the two of them left. When the black hole disappeared from his sight, his face, which had been maintaining a smile, instantly turned extremely pale.
He endured the pain, found a flowing boulder, and sat down. Then he took out a red pill and popped it into his mouth.
His divine power surged, causing the pill's effects to spread, but before long ….
Ugh.
The Divine Emperor coughed up a mouthful of blood. Some of it landed on his palm.
When he looked at his palm, he saw that the blood wasn't pure gold. The blood was murky and tainted with filth.
"Hah …."
The God Emperor, who was sitting on the huge rock, smiled weakly. At this moment, he didn't even know how far he had left the God Race with the huge rock.
He couldn't help but smile wryly. He lay back on the boulder, looked up at the chaos, and muttered to himself.
"Are you in such a hurry?"
"Don't be in such a rush. What's yours will be yours sooner or later. You've already waited for so long. How about you give me ten thousand more years?"
"I'm not asking for much. All I want is ten thousand years. Can't you wait that long?"
To his surprise, as soon as he said that …
The Divine Emperor's face regained some color, and the feeling of weakness in his body also disappeared.
He stood up from the boulder and looked around. For some reason, a light sigh flashed in his eyes.
"You really are heartless!"
