Chapter 3062

"Indeed, it is a daily tribulation. However, each tribulation targets the Upper God's specific weakness. The Witch God’s weakness is that she has witnessed the joys and sorrows of the mortal realm, yet has never experienced any matters of emotion herself. Thus, she does not believe in love." Zhu Yanyi explained.

"Then, entering the mortal world for cultivation is a good thing," the Empress said. "I believe that when the Witch God returns, she will bring different changes to the ancient universe."

"I agree," the Immortal Empress said. "Among our current eight great universes, aside from our Supreme Universe, very few gods in other universes truly understand the word 'love.' So, letting them experience it is beneficial. Besides, the ninth great universe is already forming."

"Mm," the Black Emperor nodded slightly. "In at most five thousand years, the ninth great universe should be complete."

The Immortal Emperor smiled. "I wonder what kind of person the first Emperor of that ninth universe will be?"

"I don't know. Anyway, we will know the answer in at most five thousand years," the Black Emperor said from the side.

The Empress added, "But I am quite interested in that Witch God. Yanyi, as the Medical Emperor, do you think the Witch God can lead the Witch Doctors well?"

"That depends on whether she can truly return to her position." Zhu Yanyi took a sip of flower tea. "Witch Doctors are a type of Witch God, but while the Witch God can be emotionless, Witch Doctors must have feelings. Not only Witch Doctors, but also Talisman Doctors, Mystic Doctors, and Illusion Doctors all fall under the Witch God’s jurisdiction. However, any healer has a heart full of emotion. The reason the Witch God failed this time is, simply put, her lack of emotion. Therefore, whether she can truly lead the beings of the Witch Realm depends on her understanding of love."

"To be honest, being a doctor is troublesome," the Empress said. "I actually studied medicine back then, but I never specialized in it because I felt I might not be able to live up to the saying 'a healer has a benevolent heart.'"

"Fortunately, you didn’t specialize in medicine. Otherwise, there would be no need for me, the Medical Emperor, to exist."

Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.

Yan Aohan listened and said, "The Witch God’s reincarnation did not pass through the Underworlds of the various universes. This indicates he did not undergo reincarnation but used the technique of merging with a clone."

"Actually, using a clone is not recommended," Zhu Yanyi said from the side. "Others may not know, but as the Medical Emperor, I understand that for a clone to survive smoothly, it requires the original body’s essence blood. For us gods, a single drop of essence blood equals a thousand years of cultivation power. Moreover, refining a clone requires mental power to maintain. Creating a clone is essentially dividing a part of one’s own cultivation."

Zhu Yanyi sighed. "So, the Witch God failing her tribulation was due to two factors: her lack of emotion, and her cultivation of a clone."

"Actually, we have also cultivated clones," the Empress said.

"No," Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "Yours does not count as a true clone. At most, it is a puppet formed from spiritual energy. You can recall it at any time. But a true clone can only be merged, not recalled."

Pausing for a moment, Zhu Yanyi continued, "However, the clone the Witch God merged with was likely created from her own essence blood. Although it consumed her essence blood and energy, it left her a thread of life. Otherwise, she would have had to be arranged for reincarnation into the mortal world."

"Will merging with this essence blood clone bring her any drawbacks?" the Immortal Emperor asked curiously.

"The drawback is that by merging with the essence blood, she also merges with the emotions contained within that blood, whether good or bad. But for someone like the Witch God, understanding this is actually a good thing."

Since the Witch God faced tribulation because she lacked emotion, having the emotions provided by the essence blood makes her cultivation in the mortal world much easier.

"In that case, the Witch God’s return is only a matter of time," the Immortal Empress said.

Zhu Yanyi nodded. "However, essence blood is still just essence blood. Even with extraordinary abilities, she must still cultivate to return. The only benefit is that her original cultivation experience, mental power, and state of mind remain. She only needs to restore her physical constitution and power. One could say this entry into the mortal world is like a max-level player entering a game; it is very simple."

"The simpler it is, the more unexpected the events encountered can be. Especially since the Witch God entered the mortal world because of her lack of emotion. Even if her cultivation returns and her other insights remain, she lacks the understanding of love," the Black Emperor smiled. "Therefore, to return to the Divine Realm, she still needs certain opportunities."

"Let’s just watch," Yan Aohan said indifferently. "Besides, even if the Witch God truly perishes, it is none of our business. After all, the Witch God is not an Upper God of our Supreme Universe, so we cannot control his fate."

"I think you are deceiving yourself," the Black Emperor said. "Resources in the eight great universes are currently being integrated. Look at your Yanluo Realm; hasn’t it integrated the Underworlds of the eight great universes?"

"Don’t bring up that topic. When you mention it, I wonder who proposed this integration. What are you First Emperors doing?"

Pretending not to hear the dissatisfaction in her words, the Black Emperor coughed. "We have our own matters to attend to. But regarding the Yanluo Realm, we are willing but unable to help."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. If you really wanted to manage the Yanluo Realm, I could step down," Yan Aohan said directly.

"No, no. The Yanluo Realm is your home; you manage it well enough," the Black Emperor declined. If he took over, he would be the fool.

"Speaking of which, I feel I am managing too much," the Immortal Emperor also expressed dissatisfaction. "In the past, when the eight great universes were not integrated, it was fine for me to manage both the Immortal Realm and the Cultivation Realm. But now that the eight great universes are integrated, and there may be a ninth great universe in the future, it is too unfair for me to manage two realms alone. I think one should be separated out."

"Isn’t the Cloud Emperor back in his position? You can just hand the Cultivation Realm over to him," the Black Emperor said.

The Immortal Emperor glanced at the Black Emperor. "Fine. I’ll leave this diplomatic matter to you. Who else is the First Emperor? Such communication between Emperors relies on you."

The Black Emperor paused. So they were all envious of his leisure. He coughed. "Actually, I am very busy too. Have you forgotten that I am from the Demon Cultivation background? I oversee the demon cultivation affairs of the eight great universes."

"Who exactly proposed the integration of the eight great universes?" Zhu Yanyi pondered slightly. "I don’t recall attending any meetings or discussions on this matter."

"It was the eight First Emperors." Everyone pointed at the Black Emperor.

The Black Emperor laughed dryly. "You really can’t blame us for this. There is simply too much work. Dividing responsibilities so each of us focuses on a specific area is truly beneficial."
