"Hmph!"
Xia Yi let out a cold snort, his expression exceedingly grim.
"So, you were indeed involved in the events of that year!"
This statent left everyone present, except the old man, looking puzzled.
At this mont, Chen Xuan’s eyebrows also slightly furrowed.
"That year? What happened? And... what’s the problem with the Human Realm?"
One question after another surged in his mind.
"Hehe, it seems you know quite a lot!" The old man chuckled, not denying it, "I did participate in the events of that year, but... it was also a calamity destined for your Human Realm! However..."
Seeing Xia Yi’s face becoming increasingly sullen, he stopped speaking.
With a single wave of his hand, a burst of Spiritual Power instantly enveloped the two, and afterwards, no one else could hear what they were discussing.
After a long ti!
The Spiritual Power dissipated.
"Since that’s the case, I will return to the Demon Realm." Then he looked at the many Demon Race mbers behind him, "Return to the Demon Realm, and you, Xiong Zhi, inform the nine Royal Families that if they still harbor thoughts of invading the Human Realm, they should give up their guardianships!"
"Yes, Emperor!"
The old man’s sinister gaze sent a shiver through Xiong Zhi’s heart with just one look.
Saying such words in front of many Demon Race mbers was clearly not a joke.
"Take these young ones back!"
"Yes!"
Xiong Zhi was extrely respectful.
Monts later, all the Demon Race mbers left the Human Realm, and the figure of this Emperor of the Demon Race also gradually beca phantasmal, finally disappearing entirely.
Yet, the huge void was still there.
"Golden Dragon, Cai Feng! Return to your origins!"
Xia Yi’s voice suddenly rang out.
"┗|｀O′|┛ Roar~~...."
"Chirp Chirp....."
A dragon’s roar, a phoenix’s cry!
The true forms of the two National Spirits soared to the sky at this mont, transforming into two beams of golden light appearing in the void.
Golden Dragon and Cai Feng faced each other, eyes filled with reluctance.
"This is...?"
Chen Xuan had a bad feeling.
Why did these two National Spirits feel like they were bidding farewell for eternity?
He looked toward Xia Lingyu and Zhou Zheng.
"It seems Zhou Zheng knows."
Both Xia Lingyu’s and Chen Xuan’s faces were full of confusion, but Zhou Zheng’s eyes showed a hint of sorrow.
"Chirp Chirp....."
With a cry, Cai Feng ca to Zhou Zheng’s side, "Little one, farewell!"
"Mm!"
Zhou Zheng’s voice seed normal, but his hand trembled slightly as he reached out to place it on Cai Feng’s head.
"Thank you for this ti!"
There was a hint of a smile on his face, but it was so full of reluctance.
Then, Cai Feng leaned toward his ear and started whispering.
Zhou Zheng’s face flushed slightly but quickly returned to normal, laughingly scolding, "You’ve really been spoiled by that dragon!"
"Alright, little one, my ti has co, I must go!"
Having said that, she spread her wings and flew to the side of the Golden Dragon once again.
"I’m going first!"
Then, without giving the Golden Dragon a chance to speak, she flew into the void.
"Boom"
A loud explosion.
Golden light scattered across the sky.
Cai Feng’s presence vanished at that mont.
"Feng’Er, wait for !"
The Golden Dragon’s eyes were moist. Even though he had known since Cai Feng’s birth that this would happen, witnessing her return to her origins made tears uncontrollably fall.
He looked toward Xia Yi, seeing him nod slightly.
"Thank you for all these years!"
"Bah!"
The Golden Dragon laughed, scolding, "You ruthless dog!"
"Sigh!"
Xia Yi sighed helplessly in his heart.
He didn’t want this either, but... there was truly no other way.
After scolding Xia Yi, the Golden Dragon looked at Xia Lingyu and then at Chen Xuan.
"From now on, it’s up to you, young one."
Having said an unclear remark, he, just like Cai Feng, flew into the void.
"Boom!"
Compared to Cai Feng, the Golden Dragon’s movent was even greater, causing the void to tremble.
After a long ti, the Golden Dragon’s presence disappeared.
"Is this what’s ant by returning to one’s origins?"
Chen Xuan muttered to himself, finally understanding what it ant.
Not only that, but at this mont, he felt the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth becoming more abundant.
And the huge void in the sky slowly began to nd.
In just a mont... it vanished!
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
At this mont, everyone shouted in unison. All those from Great Xia knelt, and even those from Great Zhou showed respectful expressions as they bowed to Xia Yi.
They knew that without Xia Yi, this human-demon war would have been impossible to win!
Xia Yi looked at these people.
"Yes, we finally won, but...."
Though his face showed no joy, he slowly spoke, "Rise! It’s my duty!"
Human Emperor!
Even the Emperor of the Demon Realm called him this.
This was an acknowledgnt of him.
Of course, as the Emperor of the Human Realm, it was also his duty to protect it.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Everyone responded in unison, their faces filled with unparalleled excitent.
They had won, won against the Demon Realm!
Even tasks that were incomplete in ancient tis were accomplished in their hands, of course, the key factor was this Human Emperor, Your Majesty.
At this mont, even those from the sects began to admire Xia Yi.
But... what about the future!
At this mont, Zhou Yi found it most uncomfortable.
After so many years, they finally restored their nation, but looking at the current situation, I’m afraid it’s...
Moreover...
"Zheng’Er seed to know this outco all along!"
The gaze settled on him, so calm.
"Hoo—"
He let out a long breath, wanting to calm his heart, but the faint bitterness on his face proved that he couldn’t achieve that now.
"Uncle Wang, I’m sorry, but... Zheng’Er had no other choice!"
Zhou Zheng’s apology reached his ears.
Zhou Zheng shook his head at him, "You’ve done well already!"
Zhou Yi transmitted his thoughts.
Though many things were unclear to him, as an emperor, Zhou Zheng’s choice was competent.
But compared to himself, for Zhou Zheng it was the most brutal.
And at this mont, Xia Yi slowly descended from the sky, amidst the gaze of everyone, coming before Zhou Zheng.
In an instant, almost everyone held their breath.
The two emperors t eyes.
Compared to Xia Yi, Zhou Zheng was lacking in both strength and pressure.
Yet what everyone expected didn’t happen.
Xia Yi smiled faintly, "You did well!"
He actually opened his mouth praising Zhou Zheng.
"I only did what an emperor should do!"
Zhou Zheng said calmly, with no change in expression due to the praise.
"Indeed, you are a competent emperor!"
Xia Yi sincerely declared.
Back then, he took a risk to let Great Zhou be established, and now it seems he bet correctly.
"Human Emperor need not say so!"
Human Emperor!
With these words, it ant Zhou Zheng had internally acknowledged Xia Yi as the Sovereign of the Nine Provinces.
"Hehe! Borrowing Taihe Palace!"
To Zhou Zheng, Xia Yi also maintained respect.
"Please!"
He slightly extended a hand.
Zhou Zheng’s attitude represented the end of thousands of years of grudges between Great Xia and Great Zhou.
"My child, Chen Xuan!" Xia Yi’s gaze fell on the two, "And you, co to Taihe Palace together!"
Saying this, he transford into a stream of light, flying toward Taihe Palace.
"I’m going too?"
Chen Xuan was a bit surprised.
"Go on!" Xuan Er had already co beside him, gently patting his shoulder, "This Human-Demon battle, Your Majesty decided the outco, but you saved so many Humans! Your rit is equally indispensable!"
For Xia Yi, the grievances in his heart had also dissipated.
And for Chen Xuan, he was filled with endless pride, for this was his disciple, an inheritor of the Divine Movent Sect.
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Xuan and Xia Lingyu successively flew to Taihe Palace.
"Zhou Yi, Qi Lin, this is left to you!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Even Qi Lin responded respectfully at this mont, knowing Xia Yi acknowledged this Great Zhou emperor, hence not giving further instructions.
This was intentionally letting Zhou Zheng handle it.
Moreover, he had so guesses, probably....
Zhou Zheng nodded and then flew to Taihe Palace.
In Taihe Palace.
Xia Yi stood amidst nine white jade pillars, showing a trace of heartache in his eyes.
This array was indeed a man-eating killing array.
The battle he and Zhou Zheng planned was all for this array.
Sigh—
He let out a long breath.
"I! Apologize!"
This was his apology to the fallen soldiers of the Nine Provinces.
At this mont, Xia Lingyu and Chen Xuan were the first to arrive in Taihe Palace.
"Father.... You....!"
Xia Lingyu exclaid, her expression agitated, incredulously looking at Xia Yi in the distance.
That full head of white hair!
How!
Father just had black hair, how did it change so suddenly.
Xia Yi turned around, even Chen Xuan was stunned.
The aged appearance, and that weak aura! Where was the semblance of soone who just slayed a king-level Demon Race.
At this mont, he seed more like an elderly person at the end of his life.
Xia Lingyu’s tears could no longer be controlled, sliding from the corners of her eyes.
Instantly, she ran to Xia Yi’s side, trembling as she extended her hand, placing it on his white hair, "Father.... What... is going on?"
With a choked voice, even Chen Xuan could feel her endless sorrow.
"It’s fine, my child, this is your father’s fate!"
Xia Yi’s face didn’t show any sadness, rather there was a hint of relief.
And at this ti Zhou Zheng also slowly walked in, not showing surprise upon seeing Xia Yi’s current state.
He just sighed helplessly.
Everything was for the Human Realm!
At this mont in the great hall, Xia Lingyu couldn’t hold back anymore, she leaned on Xia Yi and began to cry.
She couldn’t understand why things had beco like this.
Clearly, the Human Realm had already won, and the grudges between Great Xia and Great Zhou had vanished, everything was heading in a favorable direction.
But—
Now Father had beco like this, and that weak aura, the aged look, made her feel as if she could lose him at any mont.
With so many changes, even the prestigious Princess of Great Xia had reached a breaking point.
