Chapter 2779

Mo Xiang offered a kind reminder, "Shouldn't you start preparing?"

"Prepare for what?" The Evil Emperor didn’t even lift his head. "What must come will come. Better to enjoy myself while I still have a year left."

"But Master," Mo Xiang said. "The ancient gods who participated in the War of All Gods have encountered problems, which has affected the fortune of this ancient universe. You need to resolve this."

Hearing this, the Evil Emperor put down his wine cup, stood up, and walked out. "Those fortunes will weaken at most. It won’t be a big problem."

Although Mo Xiang felt her master seemed to be thinking of something else when she spoke, she never doubted her actions. Since the Evil Emperor said so, she naturally believed her.

"Mo Xiang." The Evil Emperor stopped at the door, looking at the bleak atmosphere of the ancient universe’s divine realm.

"Master." Mo Xiang approached.

"The gods have been sent into the secret realm. But where are the godly people? Why are they all gone?" the Evil Emperor asked.

"Master, did you forget? This month is the rest month. Everyone sleeps and does no work for this entire month," Mo Xiang explained.

"Oh." The Evil Emperor realized he had truly forgotten.

"I forgot," the Evil Emperor said lightly.

Mo Xiang looked at him with some confusion. "Master, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing." The Evil Emperor turned to look at Mo Xiang. "Mo Xiang, you have followed me since I emerged. What are your thoughts for the future?"

"Me? I have none," Mo Xiang said, looking at him in confusion. "I have followed you all these years. Without you, there would be no me. So I will continue to follow you."

The Evil Emperor smiled slightly. "Aren’t you afraid of your soul scattering in the future?"

"I haven’t thought about that," Mo Xiang said calmly. "Besides, when I was in my hardest time, you helped me. Even if my soul scatters, I am willing."

The Evil Emperor shook his head slightly. "Mo Xiang, if there is a chance to leave, you should go."

"Leave? Where to?" Mo Xiang looked at him.

"I will have a fierce battle with the gods. I fear I cannot protect you," the Evil Emperor said.

She understood this clearly. She knew her own abilities and realized that even if she were powerful, she was only one person. The gods were numerous. Even if each god’s cultivation was inferior to her, if they united, she would inevitably fail.

"Since Master knows this is a fierce battle, why not leave?" Mo Xiang asked, puzzled.

"If evil is not removed, how can I leave?" the Evil Emperor said. "I am the master of evil. To make the gods accept evil, I must pay a certain price."

"Master, I do not believe you are such a selfless person," Mo Xiang said calmly.

The Evil Emperor looked at Mo Xiang and suddenly laughed. "Mo Xiang, you really understand me."

"Having followed you, I know what kind of person you are. So there is no need to put on a brave front before me," Mo Xiang said. "I know you might not pass this trial. But if you truly wanted to leave, no one could stop you."

"Clever child." The Evil Emperor smiled suddenly. "Mo Xiang, your master has a future destination. But to go there, I need the gods’ help. That is why I set up this grand scheme. However, I cannot take you with me, so I told you to leave."

Hearing this, Mo Xiang knew the Evil Emperor was not deceiving her. His ability was evident. If he truly wanted to escape, he would not wait for the gods in the ancient universe. Since he was waiting, it meant he had his own calculations.

"Master need not worry about me. After you leave, I will have my own place to go," Mo Xiang said seriously.

"That is good." The Evil Emperor knew Mo Xiang was smart. Such a clever child would naturally have a good outcome.

The Evil Emperor looked at the sky, the evil aura around his mouth seeming heavier. "Yan Emperor, Yi Emperor, Black Emperor, Hua Emperor, gods of all universes. I want to see how you will resolve this situation."

On their flying vessels, the gods all sneezed in unison, then looked at each other.

"Is the Evil Emperor missing us too much?" Zhu Yanyi said.

The Immortal Emperor said, "Why do you assume it is the Evil Emperor missing us?"

"Besides the Evil Emperor, no other god would be thinking of us at this time," Yan Aohan said, naturally standing by his wife’s side.

Zhu Yanyi tilted her head. "Actually, if the Evil Emperor misses us, it shows she is guilty."

"Guilty?" the Empress repeated.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "The Evil Emperor must have a plan. She must have paid a certain price to emerge from the seal. Although she has now devoured the divine power of the ancient gods, these powers have different attributes. I do not believe she can fully digest them without backlash. Even a slight backlash is our opportunity."

"Divine power is hard to integrate." All the Emperors and Venerables knew this.

Hua Emperor said, "The Evil Emperor is not a foolish god. He must have thought of the problems we can think of. Yet, under these circumstances, he still chose to devour divine power. Is there some mystery here?"

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I can actually answer this question to some extent."

"Then please, Empress Yan, help us explain," Hua Emperor said gently with a smile.

Yan Aohan handed a piece of thousand-layer cake to Zhu Yanyi. As she ate, she said, "I can answer because I am the Yi Emperor. As a healer, I know that different energies are not easy to integrate. Divine power is the same. It is like taking medicine. Many medicines cannot be taken together. But to achieve a quick result, one might take them all. Of course, the result is going to the Underworld early. If my prediction is correct, the Evil Emperor paid a huge price to emerge from the seal. This is likely related to her cultivation."

"So that is why he appeared with Evil God cultivation?" the Immortal Empress guessed, helping out.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "And her identity was exposed by Di Yuan. If she remained a god, even a God Emperor, she would be lying to us. So the only thing she could do was recover her cultivation as quickly as possible. There should be several ways to do this."

"One of which is possessing me?" Yan Aohan joined the discussion.

"I guessed the same," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile. "But you are too strong, so her plan failed. It is impossible to find another body as capable as yours. So she had to use other methods to recover her cultivation. Devouring divine power is one of them."
