Chapter 2759

"Alright," Zhu Yanyi glanced at the jade slip in her hand, which served as a map. "It seems our location is quite remote."

The Cloud Emperor also noticed. Their jade slips could detect living beings. If other gods were present on the same map, there would be additional red dots. However, there were only two red dots—theirs. This indicated that they were the only two in this area.

For some reason, seeing these two red dots brought a sense of joy to the Cloud Emperor. At least in this land, she and she were alone.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t overthink it. She was merely slightly worried about Yan Aohan, wondering who she had been paired with.

After a brief moment of concern, she said to the Cloud Emperor, "Let’s go. Since we have ten years to reach the destination, the path must be difficult."

The Cloud Emperor nodded slightly. Every challenge posed by the Earth Demon Abyss had a purpose. Although they didn’t know the specific goal this time, they needed to find the right direction and move forward.

Meanwhile, Yan Aohan looked at his teammate, a faint sneer on his lips. "How lucky."

It was indeed lucky, because his teammate was the Evil God.

The Evil God hadn’t expected Yan Aohan to be his partner either. He raised an eyebrow and smiled. "The Yan Emperor seems wary of this god."

"Yes," Yan Aohan replied directly. "But since you are my teammate, I will treat this as a test."

The Evil God looked at him. "The Yan Emperor regards a minor god like me so highly. I feel almost embarrassed."

Yan Aohan stared at him. "Where? Do you think I don’t know what kind of god you are, Evil God?"

"Oh? Tell me, what kind of god am I?" the Evil God asked curiously.

"A false god." The two words carried a meaning the Evil God should understand.

The Evil God did understand. His expression changed slightly. Before he could speak, a jade slip appeared in both their hands, accompanied by a notification: "Congratulations to the Yan Emperor and the Evil Emperor for forming a team. Here is your map. Please keep it safe."

"Evil Emperor!" Yan Aohan put away the jade slip. "It seems my guess was correct."

The Evil God hadn’t expected his true identity to be revealed upon entering the Earth Demon Abyss. He paused slightly, then said, "The Yan Emperor, are you afraid now?"

Yan Aohan looked at him. "To be honest, knowing your true identity makes me less afraid."

Sometimes, the fear came from hidden schemes. Now that the hidden schemes were exposed, Yan Aohan felt less afraid.

The Evil Emperor stared at Yan Aohan for a long time. "In that case, be careful over the next ten years. I may attack you at any time."

"Fine. I will be careful," Yan Aohan smiled lightly. She wasn’t afraid of the Evil Emperor’s attacks. Moreover, she no longer needed to worry about other things. The Evil Emperor’s presence here meant that the gods paired with Zhu Yanyi were likely safe. So, she had no concerns.

Zhu Yanyi didn’t know that Yan Aohan’s teammate was the Evil Emperor. She had traveled a distance with the Cloud Emperor and then seemed to remember something. She took out a flying vehicle, tested it, and found it actually worked. She said to the Cloud Emperor, "Let’s go. Flying forward is better than walking."

The Cloud Emperor hadn’t expected Zhu Yanyi to do such a thing. "You really want to use a flying vehicle?"

"Yes," Zhu Yanyi nodded. "We must use a flying vehicle. Otherwise, walking would be boring."

If given a choice, the Cloud Emperor would have preferred to walk with Zhu Yanyi. However, seeing her determination, she didn’t object and boarded the flying vehicle.

Once aboard, Zhu Yanyi took out a tea table, sat down, and brewed a pot of tea. "Come, let’s drink tea together."

Zhu Yanyi’s actions left the Cloud Emperor amazed. "You’re riding a flying vehicle and drinking tea in the Earth Demon Abyss. Aren’t you afraid the spirits of the Earth Demon Abyss will cause trouble?"

"The Earth Demon Abyss didn’t say we couldn’t use flying vehicles," Zhu Yanyi said directly. "Not using a vehicle when one is available and walking instead is foolish. Why should I act foolishly?" She raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Cloud Emperor laughed. "You’re right." He sat down, took a cup of tea, and tasted it.

The tea had an indescribable bitterness at first. Gradually, it seemed to contain all five flavors: sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty. No matter the taste, even if it was uncomfortable at first, over time, it gave him an indescribable feeling.

"This tea is quite unique," the Cloud Emperor said. It was his first time tasting five-flavor tea.

"This is five-flavor tea, representing the five flavors of life. It was personally made by the Empress of our Supreme Universe," Zhu Yanyi explained. "When we were mortals, the five flavors represented the joys and sorrows of life. As gods, we often forget these sensations. So, I occasionally drink it to remind myself that I was once a mortal. Since I was a mortal, I must not forget my past self."

The Cloud Emperor was slightly stunned and remained silent, looking at Zhu Yanyi.

Zhu Yanyi said calmly, "There are living beings here. I can see them. But these people are not our divine friends, so they have nothing to do with us." Zhu Yanyi looked down from the flying vehicle. Below, countless streets and houses passed by, with people moving about, each busy with their own affairs.

The Cloud Emperor also looked down. "That’s why we stay in the flying vehicle and don’t go down."

"I don’t know why the Earth Demon Abyss limits us to ten years. During these ten years, we are meant to experience life. I dislike being arranged by others. As gods, our fate is already in our own hands. Why must we follow the words of other spirits?" Zhu Yanyi’s lips curled into a cold smile. "I’ve grown up, and even my husband has never commanded me. How can the Earth Demon Abyss command me?"

Seeing Zhu Yanyi like this, the Cloud Emperor’s heart skipped a beat. She realized that her understanding of Zhu Yanyi was still insufficient. Everything she did seemed different from her understanding of the Earth Demon Abyss.

"You mean that following the Earth Demon Abyss’s ten-year experience is wrong?" the Cloud Emperor asked, frowning slightly.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Whether it’s right or wrong depends on one’s understanding. At least, I don’t intend to strictly follow the ten-year limit. Since we have the map and the direction, we can just fly there directly."

"What if the Earth Demon Abyss doesn’t allow you to do that?" the Cloud Emperor asked.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "Then they can just throw me out of this abyss secret realm."

The Cloud Emperor didn’t quite understand Zhu Yanyi’s approach.

Zhu Yanyi’s lips curled into a faint smile. "Cloud Emperor, don’t forget, we are all gods. And you are an Emperor Venerable. The Earth Demon Abyss is merely a trial secret realm."
