Chapter 1647 - Eternal Heaven’s Gamble (1/2)
Eastern Divine Region, Eternal Heaven God Realm, at the bottom of the Eternal Heaven Tower
The entire place was a sea of gray There were only a few di from the profound jade set in the area
It was not just li in this place was isolated fro sound and even aura
This was the st important places in the Eternal Heaven God Realm If one did not obtain personal permission from the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, they would not be able to step inside, no matter who they were However, at thispeeled back
Zhou Qingchen quietly sat in the center of this dim, dark space This was the two hundred and twenty-ninth day he had spent here
He could remember the tile day he had spent in this place felt far longer than any other period of his thousand year lifespan
In the past, whenever he had started a closed-door training session that lasted several years, he had been able to pass the time in quiet meditation However, these few short months had made him realize just how dreadfully slow the flow of ti in the air, and he saw that the great door that had been sealed for a long ti slowly and carefully pushed open The soft sound that had rung in the air at first had now also completely dissipated
As the door was pushed wide, a ray of light shone into the area It was not too bright, yet it caused Zhou Qingchen to unconsciously raise his hand and shi+eld his face
After being confined to this dark place for so long, he clearly longed for the light Yet such a faint ray see to him
Because, the current hichen stood up and made a formal bow
Zhou Xuzi sloalked inside In just the span of a few short ain However, that chen, how’ve you been lately?”
Zhou Qingchen replied, “Reporting to Royal Father During the last half a y within itated at all and this child has been a lot calood then” Zhou Xuzi smiled as he nodded his head “The situation is far better than I had i you from the shadows, so you need to believe that there will definitely be a day when this darkness energy will be purged froive the same reply as he always had Instead, he suddenly said, “Royal Father, this child has constantly been thinking over things during this period of ti… that I perhaps should not even be thinking of and I don’t know if I should even ask Royal Father about it”
“Heh heh, there’s no need to hold anything back Feel free to ask ,” Zhou Xuzi replied He was the real reason for everything that had befallen Zhou Qingchen Due to the pain in his heart and the deep guilt he felt toward hichen than he ever had been
“This child wants to ask…” Zhou Qingchen still hesitated even after he had started to speak But upon seeing his father’s wared to ask the question “Is darkness profound energy truly so unforgivable and impermissible?”
“Oh?” Zhou Xuzi started to frown, but he still kept a wary is a syy disappears froer be any sinful powers existing in this world This is especially true for those of us who have inherited the legacy of the Gods, extery in the universe is a duty that has been passed down fro need be said about it”
“Why did you suddenly ask such a question?”
Ever since Zhou Qingchen had started cultivating the profound way, he had heard Zhou Xuzi and many other people say these exact words to him countless times In the past, he had never once doubted them Because to him, it had simply been common sense, just like hoater and fire could not mix
As he looked into his father’s eyes, he finally verbalized the truest doubt that had formed in his heart “The devils who possess darkness profound energy will have their humanity eradicated by it They will become cruel, bloodthirsty, and violent They will not hesitate to do anything, coy is a heresy in this universe and as profound practitioners of the God Realm, we must do our very best to destroy it, no matter whether it exists in the form of devil people, devil beasts, or devil spirits”
“Ever since I’ve become a devil, I’ve always been terrified that my huy within me, that I’d become a heartless and inhumane monster”
Zhou Xuzi, “”
He lifted both of his hands and as profound energy circulated within his body, a layer of black energy slowly appeared over his palers did not tremble and his eyes and voice remained calm “It’s already been y inless and less frequently My body has already completely adapted to its existence and compared to what it was like initially, I have now become a true devil person”
“But…” he slowly closed his eyes, “why is it that I a into soht and wrong still clearly re to do in the past, the things that I could never bring ed one bit I still don’t want to do those things, I still can’t do those things”
“The only negative change that I have truly noticed is that ressive whenever y starts to riot…”
He raised his hands even higher as the darkness profound energy covering therew even more dense “Royal Father, could it be that darkness profound energy isn’t that dreadful? Could it be that e’ve always known about darkness profound energy, about devils… has been h!”
That furious rebuke robbed Zhou Xuzi’s face of all of its warht God emperor, the God emperor who lived to destroy all darkness and sin, he was not able to believe or accept such words And they had actually come from his own son, the son he had personally chosen as the successor to the throne of the Eternal Heaven God Realraceful behavior was this!?
Zhou Xuzi, who very rarely lost his teer… But the chen’s pale that had welled up inside of him Instead, he stretched out a palchen had released
“Qingchen, how could you say such a thing?” Zhou Xuzi forcefully maintained his calm expression, but his voice still trey is a heresy that should not exist in this world! It has ever been that way! It is the teachings of our ancestors! The way of heaven!”
As Zhou Xuzi rebuked hichen suddenly retreated a single step When he started to speak again, his voice had grown far graver “If darkness is truly a sin that cannot be tolerated, then hy did the Heaven S Devil Emperor sacrifice herself and all of her kinsmen in order to save the world!?”
“Why did the Heavenly Slaughter Star God, the one who controlled the Evil Infant's Wheel of Myriad Tribulations, expose herself to the possibility of being trapped and annihilated byan appearance at the Wall of Primal Chaos? Why did she help to seal it?”
“Why did Yun Che, who clearly possessed darkness profound energy, face the Heaven S Devil Emperor all by himself in order to save this world…”
“Shut up!”
PAH!
The long sleeve of his robe flew in the air as he slapped Zhou Qingchen so hard that he sent hi Zhou Xuzi’s hair and beard stood on end as his entire body shook “Qingchen, do you… do you even knohat you are saying!? You’ve already gone y has already started to devour your reason, erode your very nature! Wake up!”
“Ke… keh, keh” Zhou Qingchen leaned against a wall as he slowly stood up He used a finger to wipe away the blood trickling from the corner of his lips and bent his head do He started to speak slowly, “A person whose mind isn’t clear will only rant and rave like a lunatic He will speak coibberish However, what this child has just described are things that both Royal Father and I have personally witnessed, personally experienced…”
“I thought I told you to shut up!!”
Bang!
All of Zhou Xuzi’s blood rushed to his head as the profound jade beneath his feet exploded into fine powder and flew everywhere
Zhou Qingchen’s long hair had fallen into disarray and his breathing was violent and heavy He slowly knelt to the ground, his head deeply bowed “This child has spoken rashly and offended you with his words… I beg Royal Father for his forgiveness”
