Chapter 2757
Black Emperor’s theory left the assembled gods silent once more.
Indeed, the unknown was merely speculation. Since it was destined to remain a mystery, why worry? It was enough to treat the present as a new beginning.
Zhu Yanyi and the Empress did not join the discussion. They simply ate and drank.
"Empress Yan seems uncurious about whether there is a stage above Emperor Venerable," the Evil God said, clearly targeting Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi sighed deeply. "Evil God, are you just bored? I am only at the late stage of God Emperor. It will take time to reach the peak, let alone become an Emperor Venerable. Why should I worry about that now? I don’t need to know if there is a higher stage. Many gods here are Emperor Venerables, and even they don’t know. Why should I care?"
Zhu Yanyi looked at the Evil God. After a moment, she gave a wicked smile. This aura of mischief made the Evil God’s eyes flash with surprise.
"I hate people who bother me for no reason," she said. "Evil God, go to sleep. Stop causing trouble." She pointed at her through the air.
The Evil God suddenly felt sleepy. Before he could speak, he fell to the ground with a thud and fell asleep.
Zhu Yanyi clapped her hands, her face full of disdain. "You keep bothering me. You won’t let me eat in peace. Hmph."
Her willful attitude stunned the gods. The light in Cloud Emperor’s eyes seemed to deepen. She realized that watching Zhu Yanyi like this made her even less willing to escape her feelings.
Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi with doting eyes. She was not surprised by her action against the Evil God. "Was it not the Nether God?"
"No, it was the Sleep God," Zhu Yanyi said with a grin. "I just studied it last night. It’s fun. Just a little bit, and it will make her sleep for half a month."
Yan Aohan nodded. He then bowed to the assembled gods, looking apologetic. "Sorry. My wife is a bit playful. Please forgive her. But it is fine. This medicine will not kill a god. It will only make him sleep for half a month."
"It is fine," the ancient gods said.
Besides, they had said it would not kill the Evil God. In truth, the ancient gods thought it would be better if he died. But since they would not kill him, letting him sleep for half a month was good. At least he would not cause trouble for that time.
Black Emperor also said, "Sorry, everyone. The gods of our Supreme Universe are young. Their playful nature has not passed. Please do not mind."
The gods did not mind. They only felt envy. They envied the cohesion and unity of the Supreme Universe’s gods.
Immortal Empress whispered, "Empress Yan, do you have more of the Sleep God? Give me some."
"Why? Do you want to drug Immortal Emperor and run off to find a young lover?" Zhu Yanyi teased.
Immortal Empress raised an eyebrow. "No. A young lover does not move me as much as that old meat. I just want to use this Sleep God when I go robbing. I guarantee I can rob many gods."
Her voice was not loud, but all the gods here had high cultivation. They heard her clearly.
The gods all thought the same thing: So the goddesses of the Supreme Plane are all robbers.
Zhu Yanyi and others did not think so much. Zhu Yanyi said, "Fine. I will give you some later. But remember to take me with you when you go robbing. Even if you don’t take me, I must share a portion."
"No problem," Immortal Empress said with a grin.
Seeing the other gods becoming more silent, Black Emperor and the other three male gods looked at each other. They did not blame their wives. Their doting eyes held a hint of helplessness.
Well, their wives were theirs to love. They could not let others bully them.
Hua Emperor coughed and said, "This exchange of Dao was very successful. Thank you all for coming. The Earth Demon Abyss will open in twenty days. During these twenty days, you can play happily."
From the start to the end of the Dao debate, discussing and solving problems took nearly a month. So the next twenty days were nothing.
Through a month of contact, gods from other planes knew that the gods of the Supreme Universe really liked to eat. Not to mention anything else, they had eaten non-stop for a month.
So during their free time, the gods often visited Black Emperor and the others in the Supreme Garden. Their real goal was to taste more delicious food.
Gods do not get hungry, but they need a chance to enjoy life. Food is a good way to enjoy life.
Black Emperor saw the gods visiting every day. Knowing their purpose, he generously gave each universe’s gods a portion of fruits. Of course, these fruits were produced in their own spaces, so there were plenty.
Zhu Yanyi also contributed some fruits and vegetables. Mainly because she did not eat them, and after a long time, she disliked them for being not fresh.
In fact, the so-called not fresh fruits and vegetables were very fresh. This was absolute. It was just that there were too many, so she disliked them.
Black Emperor visited the mansions where the gods rested. He gave them some food, regardless of the amount. Thus, the gods felt embarrassed to ask for more food. The Supreme Garden returned to peace.
Cloud Emperor looked at the fruits Hua Emperor gave him. He put them away, then took one and ate a bite.
Hua Emperor sighed. "Cloud Emperor, can you not let go?"
A faint bitterness appeared at the corner of Cloud Emperor’s mouth. "I have tried my best."
"But you cannot let go," Hua Emperor frowned.
Cloud Emperor looked at Hua Emperor. "Hua Emperor, do not say this anymore. Do not remind me. Only you know my thoughts. Do not tell others. Although I cannot let go, I found that this feeling of not letting go helped my state of mind break through. Before, I was too cold. I never studied the human heart well. But now, I understand."
A faint warmth appeared on Cloud Emperor’s face. "It turns out that emotion creates an indescribable attachment. Although this attachment makes one uncomfortable, at least, I found that I have sensation."
