Chapter 2055: Remaining Life

Chapter 2055: Remaining Life

The Endless Fog was cold and deathly silent. The roar of the abyssal beasts had not been heard for a long time.

This was because all the abyssal beasts in the surrounding three hundred meters had been eliminated by Hua Qingying, yet this had not calmed her anger in the slightest.

Hua Qingying’s sword heart that had been steady for thousands of years had collapsed.

Four hours had passed. This was also the most difficult four hours of Hua Qingying’s life. In this brief moment, she had shuffled around several hundred times already.

Hua Caili’s identity, her engagement, the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God and Boundless Kingdom of God she was tied to, and the secret oath of lifetime protection...

However, she had personally given her over...

At this moment, she had no idea how to face Hua Caili, how to face Hua Fuchen, and how to live up to her endless guilt for Qu Wanxin.

Yun Che slowly got up inside the barrier and firmly locked onto the young woman before him.

Her flawless white body was like the most perfect jade, exquisite and delicate. The Endless Fog was gray but her jade-colored skin was lustrous, like flowing light over snow.

He took out a set of his own clothes and gently covered Hua Caili’s body.

As if sensing it, the unconscious young woman’s lips opened and closed and her slender waist slightly shifted. Even beneath the clothes, that waist was still as perfect as if it had been poured with all of the efforts of the creator.

Yun Che moved his gaze away and gently exhaled.

Four hours were enough for Yun Che to recover a considerable amount of strength and profound energy. Hua Caili’s extremely grievous internal injuries had also been slowly eased by his light profound power.

He stood up and walked toward the barrier with extremely light footsteps. He reached out to touch it and his fingertips passed through without any obstruction.

This barrier isolated all senses but did not isolate the body.

After leaving the barrier, everything around him was terribly quiet. He instantly knew that the abyssal beasts of this area had undergone a great calamity due to the Sword Fairy’s endless resentment.

They were a bunch of obedient, useful children. What a pity.

He looked around but did not catch Hua Qingying’s figure anywhere.

It was obvious that she still didn’t know how to face everything that happened even after four hours of “calming down”.

The Sword Fairy could also escape.

Yun Che sat on the ground and looked ahead, remaining silent for a long time.

“Everything went as expected. There were no accidents and no loopholes left behind, so why aren’t you happy?” Li Suo’s voice sounded.

Yun Che responded indifferently, “It’s all within expectation so there’s nothing to be happy about.”

Li Suo immediately replied, “Feeling guilty?”

“Guilty?” The corner of Yun Che’s mouth twitched. “Would someone who has vowed to thoroughly turn this Abyss upside down feel guilty about this vicious scheme? How else can I be worthy of being a calamitous demon god.”

“...Your heart is in such turmoil you forgot that our souls are connected. It is impossible for you to hide every trace of your emotion from me.”

Yun Che stayed silent for a while. His mouth twitched again and revealed an ugly smile. “Probably because I’m not used to it yet.”

He stretched out his hand, gazing at his palm. “There was once a time when I was filled with the desire to escape all the grudges and strife, to not even taint myself with killing anymore... because when I found my daughter who had been lost for ten years, she was so beautiful that I didn’t want to embrace her with my blood-stained hands.”

“And now, these hands are stained with more than just blood.”

Li Suo frankly summarized, “Your current state of mind is proof that your nature is not evil.”

“Ha... haha... hahahaha!” Yun Che laughed quietly, and then manically, “A devil who has just plotted and harmed others with despicable and insidious means, he can be at peace just because he feels guilty about it? He can be forgiven just because of that?”

“You really are overflowing with holiness, you half-amnesiac Creation God. Hiss!”

His trembling laughter tugged at the wounds all over his body, causing him to suck in a sharp breath.

Li Suo, “...”

“But you did remind me.” Yun Che continued, “These extra emotions are unnecessary and redundant. It's true that I'm still not fully accustomed to them, and I can't do what the Demon Queen did.”

“However, humans will always grow, and so will the devil.”

“If you are determined to be a disaster bringing devil god, you must be thorough. If you succeed, you can save the world from danger. If there is retribution...” He closed his fingers together and smiled faintly. “All the evil deeds are done by me alone, so naturally they will only be retribution to me alone.”

“Quite cost-effective.”

Li Suo was silent for a long time before she voiced another question, “What are you going to do next?”

Yun Che raised his eyes. “Enter the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God.”

“Are you not afraid of being instantly killed by the Heart Painter Divine Regent?” Li Suo quietly asked.

“Then wouldn’t I have plotted all this in vain?” Yun Che was heart not flooded with the slightest bit of worry due to Li Suo’s words. “She will live and die with me. In that case, do you think that the Heart Painter Divine Regent would actually harm me?”

Li Suo was unsure.

“...” Yun Che painstakingly turned his head, as if he had heard an otherworldly sound.

Our... child...

What is she talking about...

“If it’s a girl we should call her Xinluo, if it’s a boy we should call him Xingchen... okay?”

She looked like she was completely immersed in a beautiful dream. The smile on the corner of her lips and her soft voice had a hazy feel when it reached Yun Che’s ears.

Thump...

Thump...

Thumpthump...

He finally realized that his heartbeat was in disorder.

He had also finally realized that he had been looking at her smile and eyes for a very, very long time, fully immersed.

......

"From the moment you set foot in the Abyss, every thought that passes through your mind, and every action that you choose to take, will directly affect the life and death of this world!" "That is why every connection you might make in the Abyss—friendship, master-disciple relationship, romance, and even kindness—are only tools to be exploited to your advantage. You must never allow your true feelings to spill over to these relationships; not even a little. Do you understand?" "You know the kind of person you are. If you allow those relationships to become real, then you cannot help but guard those bonds with your life. But the price you’d have to pay to secure those bonds... might mean the end of yourself and this entire universe!" The end! The end!! The end!!!

......

“All beings of the Abyss are my enemies. As the emperor of this world, I bear the fate of this world.”

“Any relationship made in the Abyss is no relationship!”

......

Little by little, the mist in his eyes almost forcefully turned into cold sobriety as severe pain and blood filled his mouth.

He curled his fingers and carefully took Hua Caili’s longevity bead into his hand. Then, he nodded heavily and responded with a voice much clearer than hers, “Okay.”

But he immediately tilted his head up again and looked at the dim lightless sky above. “If this moment is a dream, I wish I could sleep forever. But you will soon have to return to reality and go back to the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God.”

“I know.”

She leaned her head closer into him. “I am Hua Caili, a divine daughter who shoulders the future of the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God. I was personally granted an engagement to the divine son of the Boundless Kingdom of God by the Abyssal Monarch.”

She personally voiced each and every one of these previously heavy to the point of suffocating burdens, but her tone was so soft and calm, as if all of that was no longer heavy or important.

“But I’m not afraid anymore.”

She gently moved the longevity bead in her hand next to the one in Yun Che’s. “I have already died once and you are the one who saved my life.”

“You were willing to sacrifice your life to save me so how can I be afraid of these small obstacles?”

She raised her eyes and locked onto Yun Che’s gaze, letting him see every ray of light in her bright eyes. “So, let’s work together, okay? You told me back then ‘so long as I am still alive, then I will never give up!’ You just promised me, so you can’t run away again, you can’t.”

The intentions and determination of her remaining life were all unreservedly displayed before Yun Che without any sort of hesitation.

......

In the skies above, Hua Qingying silently watched on and listened in, her heart in turmoil.

Hua Caili was inexperienced and simple-minded but she was definitely not foolish. She was well aware of what she said and what this promise meant.

She was born in the Heaven Breaker Kingdom of God and had lived in the Pure Land for a long time. She had even set foot in every kingdom aside from the Eternal Night Kingdom of God so she knew what they were better than anyone.

She naturally also knew what she was facing with this determination.

Yet she...

Hua Qingying lowered her head and let out an exceptionally arduous breath.

......

“Wanxin, you’re actually not afraid of my Father. This is the first time I’ve seen someone who didn’t lose their spirit in front of him with cultivation only at the Divine Master Realm.”

“Hehe, I have no parents, no clan, and only a sinful body. If worst comes to worst, I’ll die so what is there to be afraid of?”

“So there’s nothing in this world that you’re afraid of?”

“Of course not, except being separated from Fuchen.”

......

Wanxin...

Since she met Yun Che... I see so much of you in her.

What exactly should I...
