After Luo Shangchen went away, Yan Tianxiao suddenly let out a sigh . âI had heard of this Luo Changsheng a long time ago . He was supposed to be a young and extraordinary talent . After seeing the man with my own eyes, I can now say that he was a bit foolish and naive, but not without a backbone . Itâs always a bit of a shame to lose a person like that . â
âBackbone?â Chi Wuyao smiled . âYama Emperor, you didnât think he would rather die than submit to darkness, did you?â
âHmm?â Yan Tianxiao looked at her with question marks on his head .
Chi Wuyao explained, âFrom the moment he was born, Luo Changsheng was known as the son of the Holy Eaves Realm King and the disciple of Luo Guxie . His talent was unprecedented, and he was made the Holy Eaves Young Master at a very young age . You could say that he was born with a silver spoon another person wouldnât dare to dream of in a hundred lifetimes . â
âDeath is scary to him of course, but what scares him even more is losing the things that made him what he was today, and worse than that, having them changed into the eternal shame of his life . â
âHad he chosen to stay alive, he would never have been able to return to the Holy Eaves Realm . Luo Shangchen would hate him forever, and it was only a matter of time before the world learned of his shame . â
âThatâs why he chose death . With this act, Luo Shangchenâs hatred for him would vanish, leaving behind only sorrow and the bond they had forged . The Holy Eaves Realm wouldnât announce the truth to the world, and the world would forever remember him as âLuo Changshengâ, not the true name he would ever want anyone to know . â
â . . . â Yan Tianxiao frowned . âWhat do you mean by that?â
Chi Wuyao shook her head with a smile . âIâll stop here . He is dead, and I see no benefit in exposing the truth and destroying the pride he gave his life to protect . â
Yan Tianxiao looked thoughtful, but he didnât ask anything else .
Chi Wuyao turned away and commented one last time . âHis choice was âsmartâ, I suppose, but it also exposed the fragility of the man . What can you do? His life was just too âeasyâ . â
Although Chi Wuyao had chosen not to expose Luo Changshengâs 'shameâ, that didnât mean she pitied him in the slightest .
Luo Changsheng had used death to protect his secret and engrave the name âLuo Changshengâ into everyoneâs heart . This also meant that he was his âfatherâsâ son through and through; a noble who looked down on the denizens of the lower star realms from the bottom of his heart, and a supremacist who would would rather die than be remembered as the son of a lower class man; a bastard .
In other words, he would rather die than acknowledge his biological father . He seemed to have forgotten that Yun Che, the man who brought the Holy Eaves Realm to its knees, was of a humbler origin than him .

Eastern Divine Region, Heavenly Mystery Realm .
The Heavenly Mystery Realm was the most unique upper star realm in the entire Eastern Divine Region bar none . It had the smallest territory and overall weakest profound practitioners out of all upper star realms, and it only had a sect with less than a thousand disciples, the Heavenly Mystery Sect .
Not only that, it was viewed as a special sacred ground throughout the entire God Realm .
Every year, the majority of the visitors came to the Eastern Divine Region expressly to visit the Heavenly Mystery Realm .
Today, the Eastern Divine Region had been turned upside down, and it was time for the upper star realm, the Heavenly Mystery Realm to decide its fate .
The Heavenly Mystery Three EldersâMoyu, Mowen and Mozhiâwere currently sitting at the front of the Heavenly Mystery Temple . A group of disciplesâin fact, all of the disciples of the Heavenly Mystery Sectâwere kneeling in front of them .
âLeave,â Moyu said in a long, heavy tone . His hands were pressed together, and his expression was completely blank .
âSenior Ancestors,â the leader of the disciples begged tearfully, âplease donât chase us away . The Heavenly Mystery Realm doesnât have a fighting force, and we are of no threat to the Devil Master at all . Besides that, most of the upper star realms have already surrendered to him . Why canât we just do the same?â
âIt has nothing to do with that,â Moyu said indifferently . âLeave . â
âPlease come with us, Senior Ancestors . We can go to the Western Divine Region! Surely they will welcome us and our Heavenly Mystery divine power with open arms?â
âThere wonât be a Heavenly Mystery Sect or Heavenly Mystery divine power anymore . â Mozhi repeated the ruthless statement that had stunned all Heavenly Mystery disciples into speechlessness a while ago . âFrom this day onward, you will never call yourself a Heavenly Mystery disciple again⊠now leave . â
In the end, the Heavenly Mystery Three Elders appeared as stony as ever .
Seeing that their last attempt to change their senior ancestorsâ minds was futile, the Heavenly Mystery disciples bowed deeply and said, âThank care⊠senior ancestors . â
They scattered and left the realm just like that . A long time ago, the Heavenly Mystery Realm would be overflowing with people hoping to take a peek at fate for their own gain . Today, Moyu, Mowen, and Mozhi were the only ones left in the quiet, desolate realm .
âAi . â Moyu opened his eyes and stared at the darkened sky . He said, âThe will of the heavens is unpredictable, and fate can change at any moment . So what if we could glean a moment of heavenly mystery?â
Mowen asked, âHow do you think the balance of scales will weigh? Do you think weâve led virtuous or sinful lives?â
âWe are sinful . â Mozhi gave his answer . âPerhaps the very act of gleaning a heavenly mystery was a sin from the beginning . â
Mowen raised his hand and summoned the Heavenly Mystery God Canon . Together, the Heavenly Mystery Three Elders merged their strength and opened the book of prophecy once more:
When the nine stage heavenly tribulation appears, the True God will return . Virtue will lead to eternal peace . Evil will bring the carnage of a devil god .
For a long time, they simply stared at the prophecy on the first page⊠also the final prophecy of their realmâs founder, Great Ancestor Haotian .
Back then, Great Ancestor Haotian was almost at the same level as the Eternal Heaven Great Ancestor in terms of status . The Heavenly Mystery Three Elders worshipped him deeply, and they had never doubted his final prophecy .
When the latter half of the prophecy suddenly appeared at the Conferred God Stage, the Heavenly Mystery Three Elders had concealed it from the public to protect Yun Che .
Yun Cheâs battles during the Profound God Convention were eye-opening even for the Heavenly Mystery Three Elders . They had seen how clear and free of taint his eyes were, and they were certain that Yun Che would bring great happiness to the world when he achieved full maturity .
Had they chosen to make public the prophecy, the people wouldâve overlooked the first half completely . They would only think of him as a threat and act to eliminate him .
After Yun Che saved the world and was betrayed by the very people he saved⊠they chose to inform the Eternal Heaven God Emperor about this after a long and serious consideration .
At the time, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor was neck deep in regret and self-loathing . The thought of killing Yun Che never crossed his mind even though the latter had exposed his darkness profound energy, and he was even thinking hard on how to protect Yun Cheâs life, all the while keeping his birthplace a tight secret .
After the Eternal Heaven God Emperor saw the prophecy, he quickly changed his mind and declared Blue Pole Starâs location to the world . The Eternal Heaven Realm was also the one who spearheaded the hunt for Yun Che .
As a result, Yun Che was driven to a dead end, and he changed completely into a devil .
Evil will bring the carnage of a devil godâŠ
The cruel prophecy was being played out in the Eastern Divine Region right now⊠and this might just be the beginning .
The three of them⊠and the prophecy their great ancestor left behindâŠ
In a sense, they were the true culprits behind everything that had transpired .
It wouldnât be an exaggeration to say that every drop of blood spilled on the soil of the Eastern Divine Region was soaked with their sin .
âAshes to ashes, dust to dust . It will accompany us on our final journey,â Moyu said slowly .
Mozhi raised his head and stared at the golden light of the Heavenly Mystery God Canon . âIn that case, let us use our final lifespans and peek at the fate of the Eastern Divine Region one last time . Who knows, maybe the devil god will be merciful . Perhaps weâll be able to depart at peace . â
No one answered him, but everyone stretched out their hands at the same time .
All violators of the heavens would be punished . That was why their lifespans were shaved every time they peered into the future .
This one last time, they sacrificed all their remaining lifespan to the Heavenly Mystery divine power .
A golden light burst out of the Heavenly Mystery God Canonâs body . It was the brightest the Heavenly Mystery Three Elders had ever seen it glow .
Suddenly, a gigantic black hole appeared where the Heavenly Mystery God Canon was⊠it looked like a bottomless abyss .
The moment it appeared, every light in the worldâeven the golden light of the Heavenly Mystery God Canon itselfâwas devoured by it . The world before them suddenly fell into darkness, and they saw countless dying and collapsing planets, star realms, and even star regions . Laws were crumbling, and the entire Primal Chaos was shaking like an earthquake .
It was as if a giant devil like nothing they had ever seen was devouring the entire Eastern Divine Region⊠and even the entire world .
âWhat⊠is⊠thatâŠâ
An indescribable chill gripped their bodies in a death grip . They shivered like never before until death finally caught up with them .
The Heavenly Mystery God Canon collapsed into dust on the spot .
The Heavenly Mystery Three Elders were still seated exactly where they were, but with several major differences: their lips were purple, their pupils had widened to their breaking point, and their features were completely distorted in fear .
From this point onward, the Heavenly Mystery Realm was gone from the world forever .
And no one ever knew the terrifying âheavenly mysteryâ they had glimpsed in the end .

âBig Brother Yun Che!â
A crisp, melodious cry broke out in the sky as Shui Meiyin dropped next to Yun Che . The moment she beamed, she shone like a light that was too pure to be tainted .
Yun Che had transformed into a completely different person since he returned with the Northern Divine Region . The father-in-law who always clapped his shoulders while shouting âworthy son-in-lawâ, and the sister-in-law who was as proud as she was gentle were replaced by a pair of deferential subordinates who were constantly worried that they might somehow incur his wrath . But Shui Meiyin⊠Shui Meiyin was the only one who seemed to see and treat him exactly the same as before .
She had appeared next to Yun Che instantly; wrapping her arms around his like it was the most natural gesture in the world⊠Yan Three almost made the mistake of slapping her away before he stopped himself in time and shivered at the near mistake .
âWhy did you come?â Yun Che poked her on her delicate nose once before smiling just as warmly . âThis place is quite dangerous, you know . The Western Divine Region and Southern Divine Region could launch a sneak attack here at any moment . â
âItâs because I miss you, of course!â Shui Meiyin beamed at him . âBig Brother Yun Che, are you free right now?â
âYes, I am . â He smiled back . He was waiting for Qianye Yingâer to return to him .
When he left the Brahma Monarch God Realm, Qianye Yingâer had told him that she would return to him regarding everything related to the wood spiritâs tragedy in three days . But three days had passed, and she still hadnât sent him a message .
âIn that case⊠can you tell me about your experiences in the Northern Divine Region?â Shui Meiyin looked at him with expectant eyes .
âHavenât you heard about them from Chi Wuyao?â
âI want to hear it from you . â Shui Meiyin shook his arm slightly . âPlease?â
Yun Che gave it some thought before replying, âItâs too long to finish in one sitting . Iâll tell you all about it when weâre somewhere else . â
âSomewhere else?â Shui Meiyin blinked and whispered next to his ears . âIs it a place where we can be⊠alone, Big Brother Yun Che?â
All three Yama Ancestors shivered at the same time before sealing their sense of hearing completely⊠youngsters these days were so disgusting .
Yun Cheâs smile grew wider before he said, âTo be honest, Iâm more curious about the years you spent at the Moon God Realm . Xia Qingyue didnât do anything bad to you, did she?â
â . . . â Shui Meiyin looked away before curling her eyebrows . âCan we make a promise, Big Brother Yun Che?â
âHmm?â
âCan we never bring up the name âXia Qingyueâ again? Please?â She looked completely serious when she said this .
âWhy?â Yun Che asked .
âItâs because she did terrible things to both you and me, and every time I hear her name, Iâll inevitably recall the memories I least want to think about . Sheâs dead already, so can we please forget about her completely?â
Yun Che looked slightly astonished, but he quickly gave her a smile and said, âSure . â
She was right . That woman was dead, and talking about her would only bring back painful memories to himself and the people around him . She was best left forgotten forever .
