Listen to me.
He felt a little lonely and disappointed.
For some reason, this sigh caused Ye Zichen's heart to palpitate. He frowned at the black-robed man, then peered through his sea of consciousness at Yang Jian.
"These are all my problems, they have nothing to do with you."
"No problem?"
The black-robed man straightened his back. It was obvious that he was rather agitated at this moment.
The hat completely covered his face. He could vaguely feel that his eyes were staring at him through a slit.
"What?" Ye Zichen didn't deny it.
Hua.
With a tug of his right hand, the black-robed man tore off his black robe, causing it to disappear from his sea of consciousness. Soon after, the black-robed man grinned.
"Look at who I am and tell me if you have any relationship with me."
"…"
The instant he saw the black-robed face, Ye Zichen's spiritual body stiffened. After a long time, he widened his eyes and exclaimed.
"You're still alive."
Before he finished speaking, he noticed that the black-robed man's left arm was missing.
"Your hand …"
"Isn't it just losing an arm? It's nothing." The black-robed man smiled indifferently. Then he stared intently at Ye Zichen. "You're the one who disappointed me, Ye Zichen …. Did you know? You've truly disappointed me."
"Yes." Ye Zichen merely nodded calmly. "I'm truly sorry to disappoint you, but can you release my friend now? Gu Zichen! "
The person who'd appeared in Ye Zichen's sea of consciousness was none other than Gu Zichen, who'd paved the way for him and taken the absolute shortcut.
Back then, after finishing off the Demon Clan and setting up the Sky Concealing Great Array, he quietly disappeared.
Before long, the space he'd left behind shattered. For a moment, Ye Zichen wondered if he'd died. But now, his spiritual body had appeared here, so …
This meant that he was still alive.
Gu Zichen couldn't help but arch his brows at Ye Zichen's reaction, but his lips inexplicably curved.
"Very good."
"Hmm?"
"By illuminating the Emperor Star, you will be the chosen monarch. In the future, you must stay further and further away from the mortal world. You should not be tied down by the trifling matters of the mortal world. I'm very pleased with your performance just now. "
Gu Zichen nodded at him, but Ye Zichen ignored him.
"Release him?"
"Don't be nervous, of course I won't do anything to him. No matter what, he's still one of your Auxiliary Stars. Although he's not the main star, he's still an indispensable part of your path to becoming the Emperor. I was just testing you. I didn't expect you, the Emperor Star, to be so concerned about your Auxiliary Stars. "
"You're saying Yang Jian is my Auxiliary Star?" Ye Zichen arched his brows in surprise.
"Don't you know?" Gu Zichen narrowed his eyes. When he saw that Ye Zichen's expression didn't seem fake, his satisfied smile gradually faded. "If you didn't know he was your Auxiliary Star, why did you threaten me with self-detonation just now?"
"Didn't I make it very clear? He's my sworn brother," replied Ye Zichen without even thinking about it.
"Foolish!"
Gu Zichen's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably, and his veins bulged. He was clearly agitated.
"It seems I'll have to teach you a lesson. Ye Zichen, please remember your status. You are the Chosen of Heaven, the one who illuminated the Emperor Star. You are the future ruler of heaven and earth, and the one who will rewrite the history of the Six Realms. Your life is more precious than anyone else's. Anyone can die for you. They deserve to die for you, but you must live. Only if you're alive can you ascend to the throne and change everything. Do you understand? "
"Oh," Ye Zichen nodded, then raised his eyebrows. "Why?"
"Because you are the chosen one!"
"I roughly understand. Just because I'm the one chosen by the heavens, anyone's life is worthless compared to mine. All I have to do is hide behind someone else's back and wait obediently for my ascension to the throne, right? “
"Yes."
"That's really stupid."
Ye Zichen sneered disdainfully.
"I don't think my life is more precious than anyone else's. All living things are equal. Haven't you heard of that? Haven't you? When the Emperor breaks the law, he's the same as the commoners. Have you ever heard of that? The Emperor is still a prince. He also obeys the will of the heavens! Why should my life be more precious than anyone else's? Don't you think that's ridiculous? "
"You're the Emperor Star …."
"So what if I illuminated the Emperor Star? Bro, I'm very grateful for your appearance. You've made my life so rich! Rich! Rich! Rich! You really have helped me a lot, but did you know that I don't really like you? If it weren't for you, I might still be living an ordinary life. Although it might be bitter, that's the kind of life I should be living. "
Ye Zichen smiled indifferently, then cocked his head and looked at Gu Zichen.
"Your appearance changed everything for me, and that change was like a butterfly effect. It changed countless people. Do you know how I felt when Su Yan, Yumei, and the others cried in my arms and said they wanted to go back? I hated myself for dragging them into this. All I could do was do everything in my power to take them back. Do you understand? "
"The Emperor Star? That's nothing. I'm telling you, I don't care about the Emperor Star at all. All I think about, all I sleep at night, is the Modern Realm, eating at street stalls, shopping malls, and watching TV with them! You still want to tell me how precious the Emperor Star is? Let me tell you …. My life is cheap. I don't think I'm precious at all. The way I see it, everyone else's life is about the same as mine. What I want you to do now is to release Yang Jian. That's all. Do you understand?! "
Boom!
Ye Zichen's words were sharp. The instant he spoke, he released the aura of an emperor. He glared menacingly at Gu Zichen.
"Right, there's something else I want to talk to you about. I know you came from a parallel world, and your world might have suffered inhuman devastation. I might be the only way to save you, yet you forcefully placed all your hopes on me. To tell the truth, you're a rather selfish person. "
