Chapter 2782

"But what?" the Black Emperor asked.

Zhu Yanyi sighed deeply. "The 'Nine-Nine Fate-Stealing Heaven and Earth Net' formation. To find the core formation, we must first break the eighty outer formations.

Let me explain. This formation consists of eighty-one smaller formations combined into eighty small ones and one large one, creating a 'Nine-Nine' structure. I don't know what those eighty small formations are yet, so we have to explore them. The difficulty is immense.

More importantly, no one knows the cost of activating the main formation's eye. Once this fate-stealing formation activates, we only have ninety-nine years. After that, everything inside will become an independent nation. If we enter to break it, we must succeed within ninety-nine years, or we will become nutrients for the formation."

"So sinister?" the Black Emperor said.

"It gets worse. If we fail to break it within ninety-nine years, the fortune of this world will be swallowed by the Evil Emperor. At that point, no one can stop him. To defeat the Evil Emperor, we must break the formation, because he is the formation's eye. But…"

Zhu Yanyi didn't need to say more. The other gods understood.

Since the Evil Emperor was the formation's eye, and he was highly intelligent, he must have a purpose. If he deliberately hid for ninety-nine years, they would suffer the consequences.

"Indeed, high-IQ criminals are hard to deal with," Yan Aohan sighed helplessly.

The Evil Emperor looked at the gods. "What? Are you afraid?"

"Don't try to provoke us," Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "We need to think carefully. If your actions cause losses to the other six universes, I think destroying your universe is acceptable."

"Destroy it?" The Evil Emperor looked at Zhu Yanyi, confused by her confidence. "You are confident you can destroy my Ancient Universe?"

Zhu Yanyi glanced at her with disdain. "Destroying this Ancient Universe isn't difficult. You should know I am the Medical Emperor."

"Of course, the Only Medical Emperor," the Evil Emperor said. "I wonder what the medical gods in other universes think, knowing they can never become the Medical Emperor again?"

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "Evil Emperor, if you want to sow discord, use better reasons. My title is 'Only,' but it doesn't mean I am the sole Medical Emperor across the seven universes.

Even if I am the 'Only' one, those medical gods can still become Medicine Emperors, Pill Emperors, Poison Emperors, or other titles related to medicine.

You don't understand. The world has no 'only.' It exists only because you believe in it. Such a simple truth, and you still don't get it?"

Zhu Yanyi sneered in dissatisfaction.

When the Evil Emperor called Zhu Yanyi the "Only Medical Emperor" and lamented the other medical gods' lack of prospects, the other emperors felt a slight disturbance. But after Zhu Yanyi's words, they realized the truth. Yes, if the title "Medical Emperor" was gone, they could still be "Medicine Emperors" or "Pill Emperors." Why cling to one title?

Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan saw the change in the gods' expressions. The Black Emperor said, "Actually, thinking about it, we are all unique. So far, I haven't seen any duplicate titles."

Hearing this, the other emperors noticed the same. The Xuan Emperor looked ashamed. "We were indeed narrow-minded."

The Hua Emperor said, "It's good we understand now. There's no need to obsess over the title 'Medical Emperor.'"

Zhu Yanyi turned to the Evil Emperor. "Evil Emperor, your 'evil' is quite effective. If our resolve were weak, we might have been stirred up, causing internal strife. That would have been another opportunity for you, wouldn't it?"

The Evil Emperor looked at her. "The Medical Emperor jokes. I always act openly and honestly."

"Openly and honestly?" Yan Aohan laughed. "I don't feel any honesty from you. I recall when you were in the Earth Demon Abyss, you tried to scheme against me. If I hadn't been alert, I would have died from your tricks. Is that your 'openness and honesty'?"

"I had no choice. I just wanted to survive," the Evil Emperor said, ignoring Yan Aohan's accusation.

"So, your basic purpose for setting up this Heaven and Earth Net formation is to survive," Zhu Yanyi tilted her head, guessing. "Let me guess. Your cultivation is impure, so it's starting to backlash. You need a good outlet to refine your divine power. The best result would be refining all your power, but you can't do it alone. You need external help, and this formation is that help."

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "You plan to wait until we enter the formation, then use our divine power to repair it, thereby refining your own power, right?"

The Evil Emperor looked at her. "Did you guess this because you are the Medical Emperor?"

Zhu Yanyi pointed to her head. "I know medicine, but I also have a brain."

"Even so, will you retreat? Remember, your goal is to defeat me," the Evil Emperor said.

Zhu Yanyi laughed. "Defeating you isn't hard." She tilted her head. "Did you forget what I said? Our current dilemma is whether to destroy the Ancient Universe or preserve it."

The Evil Emperor's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"

Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "I am the Medical Emperor. What does that mean? It means I am a genius in all medical fields. I know everything related to medicine, so I naturally know how to make medicine and poison.

Destroying this Ancient Universe is easy. I just need to create a poison called 'Devour.' But if I do that, all living beings in the Ancient Universe will die. That's why I hesitate. Do you think I can't defeat you? You think too much."

The Evil Emperor finally understood. Zhu Yanyi wasn't hesitating because she was hard to defeat, but because she didn't know whether to destroy the Ancient Universe.

The Evil Emperor fell silent. Not just him, but all the other gods were silent too.

The Evil Emperor was silent because she needed to figure out Zhu Yanyi's thoughts. She knew most gods cherished their reputation, but she sensed Zhu Yanyi was not the type to stubbornly sacrifice advantageous conditions for the sake of reputation.
