Chapter 2733

"However, once we take control, we alter the trajectory of this universe. No one knows the consequences." Zhu Yanyi’s voice carried deep emotion.

The others remained silent, listening intently. They had to admit she was right.

When humans are mortal, they dream of becoming gods, believing it grants supreme power. But only those who truly serve as gods understand the immense temptations and trials required to be worthy.

A god’s heart is not still. In fact, their emotions run deeper, and their hearts are broader. Yet, they often hide these feelings, pretending to need nothing. This creates the illusion that gods are heartless and emotionless.

Zhu Yanyi’s words resonated with the other deities. They too longed for a peaceful, untroubled life. But with great power comes great responsibility. Their lives were thousands of times more dangerous than those of mortals, and the temptations they faced were equally magnified.

"Because we understand the depth of our own ambitions, we understand the weight of our responsibilities," Black Emperor spoke first.

"Indeed," Fire Emperor added. "Otherwise, we wouldn’t be here today, attending that so-called War of the Gods."

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "You don’t need to comfort me. I was just venting a bit."

Yan Aohan handed Zhu Yanyi a cup of Meng Po's soup. "Have some drink. We know these things, but we spend more time acting than thinking. However, what you said today is worth considering. I haven’t thought about this aspect much. Let’s use this flight time to reflect."

Humans have ambitions, and so do gods. Ambition itself is not terrible, whether for humans or gods. What is dangerous is letting ambition lead to evil deeds. Therefore, suppressing the urge to do wrong is the most important task.

Zhu Yanyi nodded, accepting her suggestion.

For the next period, life was peaceful. Occasionally, they discussed various topics. The journey took over three years, so they flew slowly.

For gods, three years was not a long time. However, using this time to gain insights was crucial. The eight of them used discussions to improve their understanding and cultivation.

Time passed in this manner.

"We have entered the range of the Primordial Universe." After more than two years, they finally arrived.

Zhu Yanyi sensed that the atmosphere of the Primordial Universe differed from their Supreme Universe. It carried a sense of age and stability.

If one had to make a comparison, the Supreme Universe was like a young person, full of vibrant energy. The Primordial Universe, however, was like a steady middle-aged man, exuding maturity.

"The atmosphere here is different from our Supreme Universe," Zhu Yanyi said.

Yan Aohan nodded. "It is very stable. Although it lacks the vibrant energy of our Supreme Universe, it feels unbreakable."

"We don’t want a planetary war, so I think stability is better than instability," Zhu Yanyi replied with a smile.

"Every universe has its own era. Eventually, it will pass, just like the Ancient Universe. Although it still exists, it is in a state of decay," Black Emperor said slowly. "No one knows the final outcome, but one thing is certain: the appearance of the Ancient Evil God indicates problems within the Ancient Universe."

When an evil god, sealed for treason, awakens again, it means the gods who sealed him have encountered issues.

"I hope the Ancient Evil God does not appear again," Zhu Yanyi said, clasping her hands in a devout expression.

Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "No one wants to see the Ancient Evil God again. But if she appears, you can’t just ignore it."

Zhu Yanyi pouted. "I still hope she doesn’t appear."

Yan Aohan smiled faintly at Zhu Yanyi’s Buddhist-like nature. She had her own plans. Regardless of who came, she would ensure her wife suffered no harm.

"Look, does that planet look like an elephant?" Fire Empress called out, having spotted something amusing.

Zhu Yanyi heard her and went over with Yan Aohan. She looked surprised. "Really! It looks like an elephant. How cute."

"So this must be the famous Elephant Star," Black Emperor said, joining them. He seemed familiar with this planet.

"You know the name of this planet?" Everyone looked at Black Emperor with curiosity.

Black Emperor smiled. "Every universe has special planets. In the Primordial Universe, the Elephant Star is quite famous. Besides it, there are other notable planets, such as the Nine Lotus Star, which resembles a nine-petaled lotus. I haven’t seen it myself, but you can keep an eye out. Maybe you’ll find it."

"I don’t feel very sincere hearing that," Empress Di glanced at Black Emperor.

Immortal Empress laughed. "Empress Di, your husband is the type who ignores everything when he’s bluffing."

"Yes, exactly. That’s how he tricked me," Empress Di said shamelessly.

The others chuckled in understanding.

Upon entering the Primordial Universe, Black Emperor sent a message to Hua Emperor, the ruler of the Primordial Universe.

Hua Emperor received the message and said to Jiang Emperor beside him, "Black Emperor of the Supreme Universe has entered our Primordial Universe with his divine team. Go welcome them."

Jiang Emperor agreed. "The Supreme Universe is new. Seeing the seventh universe appear makes me feel old."

"In the eyes of mortals, you are already immortal," Hua Emperor teased, then sighed. "But according to cosmic destiny, nine returns to one. Now that the seventh universe has appeared, the eighth and ninth will likely follow soon."
