Chapter 2776

Zhu Yanyi listened to Di Yuan’s words without any hesitation. "I don't know what will happen to Emperor Yun in the end. But if it comes to that, I will do my best to protect her as she enters her next reincarnation."

"Good." Di Yuan’s figure grew fainter. "Finally, I want to say, thank you, Medical Emperor. Also, please pass a message to Emperor Yun for me: 'Thank you, and let yourself go.' He will understand."

"Safe travels." Zhu Yanyi smiled and waved, accepting her request.

Di Yuan disappeared. Zhu Yanyi knew she had gone to reincarnate. She returned to the place where she had started. As soon as she appeared, Yan Aohan was already waiting there.

"Husband, I’m back." No other words were needed.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Yan Aohan’s eyes. "Wife, welcome back." He opened his arms.

Zhu Yanyi smiled and threw herself into her embrace.

The couple had not seen each other for over a hundred years. This single hug made them feel how important they were to each other.

The Black Emperor and other gods, who had come upon hearing the news, applauded to welcome her.

Zhu Yanyi stepped out of Yan Aohan’s arms and greeted the Black Emperor and the other gods. "Hello everyone. Long time no see."

"Congratulations, the only Medical Emperor," the Black Emperor said.

The Empress smiled. "We really must congratulate you. And welcome back."

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "Actually, I didn’t expect the trials to take so long."

"You think that’s long?" the Immortal Emperor laughed. "It took us a hundred years to advance to Emperor Venerable. So your speed is normal."

"Cough, cough." The Hua Emperor, accompanied by Emperor Yun, coughed repeatedly upon hearing this. "You think a hundred years is long? Do you know how long it took us to go from the peak of God Emperor to Emperor Venerable? I took three thousand years."

Zhu Yanyi felt they had just hit a sore spot for someone.

Emperor Yun smiled beside him. "I took even longer. Three thousand seven hundred years. Almost four thousand."

Zhu Yanyi coughed and quickly said, "Right. Di Yuan, the Spirit of the Earth Demon Abyss, asked me to tell you that because I achieved the rank of Emperor Venerable, she can now reincarnate and become human. So the next time the Earth Demon Abyss opens, there will be a new spirit."

"The Spirit of the Earth Demon Abyss can reincarnate?" the Immortal Emperor asked curiously.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "According to Di Yuan, the current spirit, she said one becomes a spirit because of deep obsession and too many regrets that cannot be made up for. Her obsession was from her past life as an emperor. She believed that to save her country, she usurped the throne and succeeded, but she also lost her home and warmth, creating her regret. She couldn’t filed it away without dwelling. My final trial was actually to heal her and untie the knot in her heart. Now that her heart is unknotted, she has gone to reincarnate."

The Hua Emperor said, "So the Earth Demon Abyss still exists?"

"The Earth Demon Abyss won’t disappear. Only the spirit will change." Zhu Yanyi suddenly realized something. "Oh, I just noticed that the spirit of the Earth Demon Abyss isn’t born that way."

The Hua Emperor and the other gods were stunned by Zhu Yanyi’s sudden surprise.

Yan Aohan laughed and rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head. "Yes, some divine artifacts and secret realms can have spirits added later. A secret realm like the Earth Demon Abyss is very mysterious, so it is possible."

Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly, then turned to Emperor Yun. "By the way, Emperor Yun, Di Yuan asked me to pass you a message. Her exact words were: 'Thank you, let yourself go.' She paused. "She said you understand what this means."

Emperor Yun was slightly stunned, then smiled. "Yes, I understand. Thank you for passing the message."

"Alright. Now that the Medical Emperor is out, should we discuss how to deal with the Evil Emperor?" the Hua Emperor asked.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "Evil Emperor? Did the Evil God become the Evil Emperor?"

"No. It’s just as we guessed last time. He was originally the Evil Emperor. After breaking the seal, his cultivation dropped, so he pretended to be the Evil God. In this War of Gods, he injured the ancient universe gods. Now he has fled to the ancient universe. He likely wants to use the power of the ancient universe to fight against us," the Empress explained simply.

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "The Evil Emperor. In that case, let’s go meet this Evil Emperor."

"Yes, we can leave for the ancient universe anytime," the Black Emperor said. He looked at the Hua Emperor. "But we don’t have a teleportation point in the ancient universe. So we must first return to our Supreme Universe and then fly over using flying vessels."

"Actually, the Ancient Manor has a teleportation point to the ancient universe. But we know this, and the Evil Emperor knows it too. So we can’t use it," Emperor Yun added.

"It’s fine. In that case, let’s return to the Supreme Universe first and then fly to the ancient universe. The flight won’t take too long. At most, one year," the Black Emperor said.

Zhu Yanyi pondered. "One year is fine. I just wonder what state the Evil Emperor will ruin the ancient universe into in one year?"

"We will do our best," Yan Aohan said. "You know, on our original planet, we once experienced a three-year disaster period. Now, a one-year disaster in the ancient universe should be survivable."

This was just self-comfort. They knew there was nothing else to do but comfort themselves.

"In that case, let’s leave for the Supreme Universe immediately," the Fire Emperor said.

"Wait," the Hua Emperor said. "We will go together."

"Together?" the Black Emperor looked at the Hua Emperor in surprise.

The Hua Emperor nodded. "Although this is a matter for the ancient universe, stability across the seven major universes is most important right now. If one universe has a problem, we must all help. Besides…"

The Hua Emperor paused and continued, "The Evil Emperor is not just a disaster for the ancient universe, but for all our universes. So we cannot let the gods of the Supreme Universe bear all the burden."

"In that case, let’s discuss who will go with us," the Black Emperor said, not refusing.

Of course, since it was not the War of Gods, gods from other universes could not all go. Sending some representatives was enough. After discussion, they decided that anyone below the rank of Emperor Venerable would not go. Since they were going to fight the Evil Emperor, at least the gods going must be of the Emperor Venerable level.
