That woman had appeared within Su Yuewu's dreamscape, so Su Yuewu quickly recognized her as Yao Ji. In front of Yao Ji lay a dismembered person. It was an ancient Demon Sovereign.
Yao Ji knelt on the ground, begging the Celestial Emperor to spare the Demon Lord.
"All sorts of things that happened in the past all happened because of Yaoji. I plead for the Celestial Emperor to forgive the Demon Sovereign and return his soul. In these thousand years, I have already developed feelings for him, and there is nothing that can repay the Demon Sovereign's kindness. I only seek death in exchange for the Demon Sovereign's life. " Yao Ji was heartbroken to see the Demon Lord's corpse being chopped into pieces. Her tears fell like beads from a broken string, but it did not attract the slightest bit of sympathy from the Celestial Emperor.
Back then, when the Celestial Emperor was still an Empyrean God, he had already fallen for Yao Ji. He had stared at this woman for thousands of years, but had never felt tired.
But now, the girl that he deeply branded in his heart was begging him to let go of another man, how could he agree?
"Back when you were still the God of Heaven, I would often look at you secretly. At that time, I felt that you were tall and powerful, strong and strong, that no one could be a match for you. I'm just a little deity, I only dare to peek at you secretly. Unknowingly, thousands of years have passed and it has always been me who has looked at you, but you have never once looked at me. " Yao Ji chuckled, as if she had returned to the days thousands of years ago.
"I've seen you. More than once. " How long ago was he? Back then, he was still just a god, standing there for thousands of years just to guard the gates of the Heaven Realm.
At that time, every time Yao Ji went to pick the fruits and deliver them to the temple where Tian Zai lived, he was always disappointed.
Yao Ji raised her head in astonishment to look at the current Celestial Emperor, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"I know you won't." The Heavenly Emperor smiled bitterly, "At that time, although I was the strongest God of Heaven in the Heaven Realm, in my heart, I was still only a naïve man who didn't understand love. Even though I know that I have a different feeling for you, I also do not know that feeling is called love. "
"Later on, when I heard that you stole the Celestial Emperor's jade tablet in order to save me, and was punished because of it, it was as if many flames were burning in my heart. I'm anxious, I'm impatient, I want to save you. " The Celestial Emperor smiled.
Standing within the barrier, Su Yuewu was also startled. So Yao Ji and the Heavenly Emperor really had such a past, and it wasn't something that she had imagined in her dreams.
"You want to save me? I was afraid that you would be punished, so I took all the blame. " Yao Ji smiled. Back then, she was a woman who risked her life for the sake of love. Now, when she thought back to that past, she still had no regrets.
"After you bore the burden of your wrongdoings, I was looking for an opportunity to save you. However, I didn't expect that the Demon Lord would take a step ahead of me and rescue you out. I don't know what he'll do to you. I'm even more worried that he'll fall in love with you. I can't stand it. "
After that, I stood alone at the entrance of the Heaven Realm waiting for me for a thousand years. I thought that I would never see you again in this life, until one day, I saw the fruit tree that you were waiting for.
The Heavenly Emperor laughed bitterly, as if he thought of those days when he stood alone in front of the gates of Heaven Realm, guarding it for another thousand years. But this time, there was no Yao Ji to accompany him.
Shangguan Tulong was slightly moved. The lifespan of the human world was limited, so he wouldn't have to worry about the loneliness of the Heavenly Emperor for tens of thousands of years. From the looks of it, it wasn't a bad thing.
"So you came to me?" She seemed to have understood something.
"That's right. In order to come and save you, I must become the next Heavenly Emperor. Only with that can I come and bring you back in the open." The Celestial Emperor clenched his fists as he spoke.
He had put in so much effort to save Yaoji so that she could become his only Heavenly Queen. However, the heavens did not obey his wishes. He looked around and saw that she had already fallen in love with the Demon Sovereign who kidnapped her.
The Celestial Emperor suddenly regretted it. He was the one who had risked his life to save Yao Ji all those years ago. If that was the case, then the person who would follow Yaoji and dominate me would be himself, and not the Ancient Demon Sovereign in front of him.
"He was kind to me. At first I blamed him for what he had done to me today, but he was kind to me from beginning to end. He was gentle and considerate in everything he did, and as time went by, my heart began to lean towards his. "
As he spoke of the past, he couldn't help but sigh. Su Yuewu looked at Yao Ji in front of her. If she didn't hate Yao Ji anymore, then she wouldn't hate her either.
How can I hate it? Yaoji was also a person with a bitter life. What she loved, she could not obtain. Or perhaps it could be said that she didn't even know who the person she loved most in her heart was.
Just like Leng Fanyun, right now, wasn't Leng Fanyun also in a dilemma?
"You're leaning towards him. What about me?" The Celestial Emperor frowned. He didn't want to hear anything like this. Yaoji was his, and the Demon Sovereign was his. He had stolen the lover that was his, and had caused him so much pain in the past thousand years.
"I've let you down, and I've also let him down. Even now, I still can't make a decision. I just feel that the Demon Sovereign doesn't deserve to die, and that I owe him that." Yao Ji looked into the eyes of the Celestial Emperor, her eyes filled with longing.
"No. No matter how much you plead for him today, I will not let him go. If it weren't for this Ancient Demon Sovereign, we would have long since been together. If it weren't for him, you wouldn't have been punished back then! " The Celestial Emperor shook his head, refusing Yao Ji's request.
"So many years have passed, and you are already the Celestial Emperor. Why must you worry about the past?" The tears fell, drop by drop. The Celestial Emperor's heart twitched. Those tears that leaked out from Yaoji's eyes were all for the sake of the Ancient Demon Sovereign, not him.
"I can't let it go. I can't do it without loving you, and I can't do it without hating him." The Heavenly Emperor looked at the Ancient Demon Sovereign's corpse and muttered to himself. Why do I feel like I've lost despite it being you?
No one was a winner in this battle of feeling.
The scene before Su Yuewu's eyes began to play out in front of her eyes. Was this her previous life? Su Yuewu had some doubts, some uncertainty. Only after Shangguan Tulong's hand pinched her finger did Su Yuewu recover from her trance.
"Don't worry, keep watching. We will definitely find the truth." Shangguan Tulong comforted Su Yuewu softly. At this time, he was like an elder brother that could be relied on, giving himself up to Su Yuewu silently.
"Thank you." Su Yuewu looked at Shangguan Tulong with sincerity. Throughout the entire journey, whether it was feeling depressed or confused, he had always been by her side. Even at this time, he had never thought of giving up on her.
Being able to accompany Su Yuewu and watch her find her own happiness was already a great honor in itself, but he was willing to be an unknown janitor for Su Yuewu as long as her happiness was more important than anything else.
Yao Ji saw that the Celestial Emperor was unwilling to let the Ancient Demon Sovereign go no matter what, so she begged the Celestial Emperor for an incense stick of time before allowing herself to dress up and return with him.
The Celestial Emperor was silent. Yao Ji bowed before returning to the Demon Sovereign's palace.
After a full two incense sticks worth of time had passed, Yaoji still hadn't come out. The Heavenly Emperor had some doubts, so he personally brought some people in to find Yaoji.
Unexpectedly, the Heavenly Emperor and his followers had just entered the Demon Lord's palace when they saw the dying Yao Ji lying on the ground. The Heavenly Emperor quickly took a few steps forward, tightly holding Yao Ji in his arms.
On the ground, Yao Ji's blood was flowing everywhere. The Heavenly Emperor was in despair, his hands that were holding Yao Ji could not help but start trembling.
"Are you trying to punish me?" The Celestial Emperor muttered, tears flowing out of his eyes.
"No …" I don't want to affect you because of me, you... You are this, the most powerful people in this world, I … "I don't want to provoke you guys to kill each other because of me …" With that, Yao Ji slowly closed her eyes.
"No!" With a heart-wrenching howl, the Celestial Emperor tightly held onto Yao Ji's corpse. He couldn't believe that the woman who was standing in front of him just a moment ago, was already so close to being unable to wake up.
Sky Emperor, who was filled with grief and despair, decided to follow Yao Ji's long-cherished wish before she died, bypassing the Ancient Demon Sovereign and leaving him with his life. In Yao Ji's hands, she held a long letter, addressed to the Celestial Emperor. Presumably, she had used that incense stick of time to write a letter.
The Heavenly Emperor took the letter from Yao Ji's hands. The moment the letter was taken by the Heavenly Emperor, Yao Ji's soul disappeared from this world.
However, the Heavenly Emperor did not know that before Yao Ji died, he had made a wish. In this life, he had let down the Heavenly Emperor and Leng Fanyun, so he could only hide his soul inside the body of one of his princesses, Qing Yan's body, and repay the Heavenly Emperor in the name of his daughter.
And after Qingyan had descended to the mortal world, Yaoji's soul was trapped in Qingyan's daughter's soul, which also meant, in Su Yuewu's body, there was Yaoji's soul, which was also why, she and Leng Fanyun seemed to be pulled here and there, they were destined to meet and fall in love. This was Yaoji's wish before she died, and it was impossible for her to hide it.
And in Yao Ji's letter, she wrote.
"Sky Emperor, I know that I have committed a great sin and in this lifetime, I will not be able to beg your forgiveness. Back then, when they looked back at each other, it had created today's situation. I really don't know if it's good or bad. "
"All these years, I've been thinking about what it is that makes people so fascinated. Until one day, Fan Yun read a poem to me, he said, 'Ask the world what love is, and it will teach you to promise life and death'. Yes, for the sake of the word 'love', many people would rather give up their lives. Just like Leng Fanyun, who was willing to sacrifice his life for me, I am also willing to give up my life for him. "
"In this life, it was I who betrayed you. I thought it was just my little thoughts, but who would have thought that even you were moved by them? However, in this life, emotions were the most difficult to fathom. My feelings for you, under Leng Fanyun's gentle gaze, gradually disappeared. If I didn't have to explain my feelings for the two of you, then I can only say that I do like you and I love Leng Fanyun. "
"However, no matter what, I have let you two down. You should have been friends. I still remember back then, when you guys were fighting in the Heaven Realm and getting along with each other, laughing and chatting merrily. I admire you guys at that time. The two of you shouldn't have become enemies because of me. Yao Ji will go now, and only hope that the two of you can shake hands. Even if you cannot, I hope that we will not kill each other. "
"Time flows like water, one day you will all forget me. A drop in the ocean, Yao Ji is just a hasty passerby, please take care of each of you. "Yaoji, absolute."
Yao Ji's smile appeared again and again in front of the Celestial Emperor's eyes. Everything seemed to pass by in a flash.
