Paranoia
Ye Zichen didn't know how long he'd been suppressing these words. Taking this opportunity to say them, he instantly felt as if a boulder had been weighing down on his heart.
He was the reincarnation of the Yellow Emperor.
He was the Emperor Star's Manifestation.
He was the Son of Heaven.
But none of this could compare to living in the Modern Realm. Joking around with his roommates, waiting for graduation to find a job and become a clerk ….
Perhaps this life couldn't compare to the blissful life he'd had in the Divine Red Packet Group, but this was the life an ordinary person should lead.
Even if he didn't accomplish anything for the rest of his life!
He was a dragon among men, the reincarnation of China's founding ancestor, the Yellow Emperor. The entire Three Realms had to respectfully address him as Emperor Ye.
He was revered and loved by tens of thousands of people.
He befriended the Jade Emperor, Yang Jian, and other legendary figures. Chang 'e favored him, and he had many beauties by his side.
Did he enjoy it?
No, what he enjoyed was endless pressure!
So long as there was even the slightest sign of trouble, he'd be at the forefront. He carried the title of Emperor Ye, so he couldn't retreat. He had to show the world that he was omnipotent.
First, he had to scheme and scheme against the demons.
Then, he had to go back to comfort his beauties and find a way to return to the Modern Realm.
But all of this was built on him, who was only in his twenties. He really felt very tired, and the pressure that followed was really going to drive him crazy.
He couldn't blame Gu Zichen for everything, but he really did need a way to vent.
Ye Zichen's words rendered Gu Zichen speechless. He simply stared wide-eyed at Ye Zichen, whose chest was still heaving.
"You think it's all my fault, don't you?"
After a while, Gu Zichen finally asked.
"I didn't say it was all your fault, but …" Ye Zichen looked him straight in the eye. "I can't deny that you deliberately led me into this circle, right?"
Gu Zichen's fingers trembled. His eyes were filled with disbelief. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say a single word.
Only now did he realize that everything he'd arranged for Ye Zichen was nothing more than a burden in his eyes.
"Alright, it's not bad that you can speak your true thoughts." Gu Zichen pursed his lips, then nodded. "In that case, I apologize for dragging you into this mess."
"There's no need. It's too late to say that now." Ye Zichen interrupted him. "Right now, I just want to say, please don't force your failed path onto me in the future. I don't want to repeat your mistakes."
"No problem."
Gu Zichen let out a long sigh. His eyes reddened slightly.
"Since you've said so, I'm also a person who cares about my reputation. From now on, I definitely won't stick to you. In the future, you can walk however you want. I won't interfere in any way. "
"Then I want to thank you here."
"Hah ….." Gu Zichen laughed coldly. "But don't get too full of yourself. Remember what I told you before? You weren't the only one I chose. There were others."
"What?" Ye Zichen raised his eyebrows.
"Back then, he took quite a few wrong paths. I gave up on him halfway and wholeheartedly supported you." Gu Zichen's lips twitched, then he laughed self-deprecatingly. "But I never would've guessed you'd give me an even greater surprise this time. I wholeheartedly supported you, but it turns out to be a burden to you. "
Ye Zichen was indifferent.
Gu Zichen glanced at Ye Zichen's expression, then sighed and smiled calmly.
"Let me put it this way. You weren't the only one who lit up the Emperor Star. The heavens chose two people and left one behind! Before long, you'll run into each other. Of course, you don't need to worry. I won't hold a grudge against you because of what you just said. In the end, it'll all depend on your own abilities. "
"Hm?"
Only then did Ye Zichen's expression change slightly.
The heavens chose two people and left one behind.
Two emperors!
He actually hadn't known.
When he saw Ye Zichen's expression change, Gu Zichen snorted.
"Worried?"
Gu Zichen had originally planned to help Ye Zichen rise to the top, but now it seemed …..
There was no need.
He'd once thought so highly of Ye Zichen, but now he was blaming Ye Zichen for everything.
In that case, Gu Zichen might as well let Ye Zichen go on his own. Gu Zichen wanted to see just how far Ye Zichen could go without his help.
A path of failure!
He'd even slandered Ye Zichen's path as a path of failure.
Little did he know, Gu Zichen hadn't even noticed that he was starting to get paranoid. He believed everything he did was right. Ye Zichen's words were simply unfair to him, but he didn't reflect on them at all.
The way he saw it, he'd been through it all before. Every decision he made was correct.
If Ye Zichen refused his help, he'd be seeking his own death. That was all!
Gu Zichen looked at Ye Zichen mockingly. He'd thought Ye Zichen would go along with his words and soften his stance. To his surprise, Ye Zichen merely frowned slightly, then calmed his expression.
"Can you let Yang Jian go now?"
He ignored him.
Ye Zichen completely ignored him.
Gu Zichen stared intently at Ye Zichen. He felt an urge to crush this uncontrollable chess piece to death.
However, he couldn't help but recall scenes that he couldn't let go of. This was his only chance.
For the sake of this slim possibility, he had to endure.
Gu Zichen suppressed the impulse in his heart, then glanced at Ye Zichen once more, then looked away and returned to his chair.
"No."
With that, he recalled that Ye Zichen might be referring to Yunyun. At this moment, he was not in the mood to argue with the other party.
"I'm gifting him good fortune. Just watch patiently. I've already said that he's the Emperor Star's Auxiliary Star. Anything that's harmful to him is harmful to the Emperor Star. I won't do such a thing. "
Ye Zichen, who was sitting on the chair, did not do anything, while Yang Jian's situation became more and more dangerous.
Under that kind of extreme gravity, his five viscera and six bowels were bearing a huge burden. Lying on the ground, blood continued to flow out of his mouth, and traces of blood began to appear at the corner of his eyes.
"Your Excellency, please have mercy."
In his anxiety, the North Pole Emperor knelt down on one knee, and all the immortals of the Heavenly Court followed suit.
"North Pole, what are you doing?!"
Shouted Yang Jian hoarsely as he endured extreme pain. The North Pole Emperor was the head of the Heavenly Court. His knees represented all of the Heavenly Court's dignity.
It was true that he often made fun of the new Celestial Emperor, but that was just for fun!
"Hurry up and get up."
The North Pole Emperor acted as if he hadn't heard. He lowered his posture to the lowest level possible and pleaded.
However, there was still no response.
When he saw this, Yang Jian's eyes turned bloodshot. All he wanted to do now was ….
