Sometimes, for some people ….
The relationship between brothers was a mysterious and miraculous thing.
You didn't need to pay an equivalent price. You might not even be the first to appear when he needed you. But so long as you needed him, he'd stand by your side unconditionally and trust in your every decision.
To Yang Jian and the Great Sage, that was their relationship with Ye Zichen.
There was no need for superfluous words. Even a look of tacit understanding would be a waste.
The mere mention of Ye Zichen's name was enough for them to give up everything.
Besides, everything the Outsider Overgod had just said was nothing more than a psychological attack. He was right. Most of the time, Ye Zichen chose to save his women, but that didn't mean he was ignoring them.
It just so happened that the world's living beings were there.
Of these choices, if it were them ….
They hoped Ye Zichen would make the same choice.
Besides, this was a sign of Ye Zichen's trust in them. He trusted that Yang Jian and the Great Sage wouldn't disappoint him. He trusted that they'd hold out until he'd taken care of everything.
Yang Jian and the Great Sage absolutely wouldn't let him down. They absolutely wouldn't disappoint him.
As for the fact that Ye Zichen hadn't done anything for them, Yang Jian and the Great Sage only wanted to say one thing to him:
You know shit! There was no need for any further words. When Yang Jian's words, which also represented the Great Sage's thoughts, rang out in everyone's ears, the Overgod who had been so pleased with himself at the start, and had been so pleased with himself because of what he had said, his entire face turned pale.
His expression froze.
He couldn't imagine why, even after everything he'd said, neither of them had a single word of complaint.
Just what kind of curse had the Era Lord of the Stars cast on them for them to trust him this much?
The other Outsider Overgods and Era Lords were stunned for a long while. Little did they know, even Gu Xuande was shocked by Ye Zichen's actions. He couldn't help but feel indignant for Yang Jian and the Great Sage.
However, after hearing Yang Jian's words, he stared blankly for a moment, then laughed self-deprecatingly.
It seemed he'd fallen for Ye Zichen's tricks too!
Although he hadn't interacted with Ye Zichen for long, he was actually quite easy to see through.
He was loyal!
Sometimes, he wasn't very decisive and was overcautious. He would always think too much and care more about the interests of others.
How could a person who would treat strangers with absolute fairness be as deplorable as the Foreign Realm Master God had described?
In the simplest sense —
The Celestial Race's Celestial Emperor Zhou Wu was the best example.
At first, Ye Zichen couldn't even be compared to Zhou Wu at all. But why was it that as time went on, the entire God Realm, and even the entire era, was tilting in Ye Zichen's favor?
In the end, only the Divine Arbiter remained by Zhou Wu's side.
This was a classic example of 'a just cause enjoys abundant support while an unjust cause finds little support'! Perhaps Ye Zichen's disguise could deceive one or two people, but he couldn't deceive millions of eyes. So many Great Thearchs and races were standing on his side. It was definitely not because of his identity as the Star Lord that he could transcend.
She was more impressed by his character and the way he dealt with people.
If not, why didn't anyone change sides when Zhou Wu transcended in the end? "Don't test my patience anymore, got it?" At the same time, Yang Jian pressed his three-pointed, double-edged blade against the God's neck. "Consider this a warning to you. If you say one more thing about Ye-zi, your head really is going to part ways with you.
I'm saying goodbye to you, okay? "
It was as if he could see a howling tempest in Yang Jian's eyes. The Foreign Realm Master God held his breath, but didn't dare exhale.
He could sense the killing intent in Yang Jian's eyes!
Furthermore, he sensed the darkness emanating from Ye Zichen's body. It was as if a bloodthirsty asura had emerged from the depths of hell. He couldn't imagine it. Even though he was an Imperial Emperor, there was still an insurmountable gulf between him and the Foreign Realm Master Gods. Gu Xuande and Qing Li were half-step transcendence cultivators, and that was one thing, but why were Yang Jian and the Great Sage emperors so powerful?
They could release this sort of pressure!
Especially Yang Jian …
He'd never felt such a bloodthirst before.
This was only natural!
Yang Jian wasn't just an Imperial Emperor; he was the heir to the Star of Slaughter, one of the myriad stars.
Since the beginning of the new era, the Star of Slaughter's role had been to hunt in the darkness. He'd purged all threats from the Emperor Star's path, and the amount of blood he'd stained his hands couldn't be measured in numbers.
Yang Jian hadn't killed many people.
In the Third Era, Ye Zichen hadn't ascended to the position of Emperor Star by trampling over mountains of corpses and seas of blood. However, Yang Jian had inherited the Star of Slaughter's legacy. His bloodthirsty killing intent emanated from his very bones and was impossible to erase.
Instinctively, the Foreign Realm Master God took half a step back and almost fell to the ground.
In response, Yang Jian merely sneered, but didn't press any further. He retracted his three-pointed, double-edged blade, looked around, and waved it in a circle.
"And the rest of you …"
Yang Jian pointed at the other Master Gods, a cold smile tugging at his lips.
"Fan the flames. If I hear you again, you'll end up worse than him!"
The other Master Gods kept quiet out of fear. It was hard to imagine that the First Era's Emperor could intimidate so many Master Gods of the Outside Realm.
From Elder Lin's expression, it seemed he didn't want to stand on the Outside Realm Master Gods' side either. The Master Gods could only grit their teeth and swallow their pride. "Um … Shouldn't we discuss a countermeasure? This barrier won't last much longer. The Outsiders haven't appeared yet, so I think it's more likely that it's not that the barrier can't be broken, but rather that they're studying the soul gems' effects.
Use them. If we wait for them to finish their research, we'll have to go back to running for our lives. "
"We can't retreat any further, so let's …"
The speaker was Qingli's younger brother, one of the more outstanding leaders of the Qing Family's younger generation.
Between the forces of the God Race and Ji Yuan, with Qing Li's existence, his relationship with Ji Yuan was closer. That was why, while the other Master Gods were too embarrassed to say anything, he could speak up without a care in the world.
The crowd fell silent.
This was indeed a problem!
In truth, to them, the Outsiders were easy to deal with. The main problem was the High Priestess …
The High Priestess was the one who worried the entire Milky Way Alliance.
Even at their peak, they'd had a hard time gaining an advantage over the High Priestess. Now that they'd expended a great deal of energy, it was hard for them to return to peak condition. If they fought the High Priestess now …
"Waiting here is just waiting for death."
