Chapitre 5: Rushing for Death
Lou Changsheng's reaction was one of disbelief, but many of hatred as he turned to Mu Bingyun and questioned whether he was correct in understanding that Yun Che would not be participating in the final Conferred God Battle, and whether he had indeed conceded.
His words were filled with anger and frustration, and his gaze resembled that of an enraged animal on the verge of exploding with pure hatred.
The incredulity in his voice was palpable as he exclaimed, "What kind of nonsense is this?!!!"
Lou Changsheng's anticipation for the final Conferred God Battle was unrivaled, and the reason for this was not merely the prospect of witnessing an exciting fight, but rather his burning desire to exact revenge upon Yun Che. The humiliation he had suffered at Yun Che's hands had left an indelible mark on his psyche, and he yearned to repay him in kind.
As the son of Luo Shangchen, the Realm King of the Holy Eaves Realm, Lou Changsheng was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, enjoying a life of privilege and luxury from the very moment of his birth. The Holy Eaves Realm, widely regarded as one of the strongest Upper Realms in the Eastern Divide Region, was home to a plethora of powerful profound practitioners, including his aunt and master, Luo Guxie, who was widely considered to be the strongest profound practitioner under King Realms.
Throughout his life, Lou Changsheng had never known the sting of deprivation or the frustration of unfulfilled desires. His every whim was catered to by his doting family and subjects, who adored him for his noble birth and exceptional talents. In short, he had everything that any person could ever desire.
Lou Changsheng, who has never once slacked off in his training, was taught by his aunt, the strongest person under King Realm, from a young age. He possesses exceptional talents, making him the brightest individual among the younger generation of the Eastern Divide Region, even surpassing those from the King Realm.
As the leader of the Four God Children, Lou Changsheng's strength is so formidable that even the other God Children were only able to leave a minor scratch on him during their previous fight with him. In the previous round, he was supposed to win the grand final fight, as it was his destiny to emerge victorious. However, Yun Che had snatched that win away from him, causing him to feel humiliated and furious. He detested Yun Che to the very core, for he is the undefeated Young Master Lou Changsheng!
In a fit of anger, Lou Changsheng's Divine King aura suddenly exploded, sending nearby practitioners flying. Some of the weaker ones even coughed up blood and turned pale due to the overwhelming force. "What kind of utter nonsense are you spewing?!! How could Yun Che concede this fight?!!!" he bellowed furiously.
Fortunately, Lou Changsheng's burst of aura only affected those from his own realm, preventing him from incurring resentment from others. However, who would dare to resent him anyway? His father held the rank of Divine Master Rank 8, and his aunt and master were even stronger, holding the rank of Divine Master Rank 9. They had the power to silence anyone who dared to cross them. The practitioners from the Holy Eaves Realm could only laugh dryly as they tried to suppress their injuries with their profound energy.
When Lou Shangchen attempted to speak to his son, Lou Guxie intervened, holding out a hand to stop him.
"This match is crucial to him. If he is unable to vent his hatred, he will be unable to focus on his training or even sleep," Lou Guxie explained to her brother.
"Yun Che's defeat damaged his pride and confidence. If we do not allow him to release his emotions, it will only harm him in the long run," she added.
Many people could only sigh in disappointment, understanding all too well why Lou Changsheng was acting this way.
"Where is he???!!! Where the fuck is Yun Che???!!! Tell him to get the fuck out here! Fucking coward! Get out here!!! " Roared Lou Changsheng.
Many Divine Masters narrowed their eyes and some even sneered covertly. It was obvious to anyone with a functioning brain that Lou Changsheng, having ascended to the position of Divine King, could easily defeat Yun Che, who was only at the Divine Tribulation Realm.
This was the Conferred God Battle Stage, the final battle of the Profound God Convention, where all practitioners below the age of sixty outside of the King Realm came to compete.
The contestants who reached the Conferred God Battle Stage were all supreme geniuses who carried the face and honor of their respective realms. Despite this, Lou Changsheng continued to spew curses, and if he weren't the young master of the Holy Eaves Realm, someone might have already beaten him to death.
Mu Bingyun remained composed and silent as Lou Changsheng incessantly hurled insults at Yun Che. After a while, she spoke again, "Yun Che is still injured, and he has made the difficult decision to concede the fight."
However, Lou Changsheng was not appeased and continued to bellow expletives, demanding that Yun Che be brought before him. He pointed angrily towards the Snow Song Realm seating area and even used his divide senses to locate Yun Che.
God Emperor Cang Shitian sneered and commented, "What a sore loser...this is how you behave in the Eastern Region, huh?" His words attracted many angry glares from the four God Emperors of the Eastern Divide Region.
Upon hearing this, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor issued a warning, saying, "Cang Shititan, you had better choose your words carefully! This is the Eternal Heaven Realm!"
Cang Shitian clicked his tongue and sneered in response.
Many God Emperors take a look at one another. Then...
"Why do we do this instead?..."
Surprisingly, it was the Dragon Monarch who spoke up first with an alternative proposal. Lou Changsheng snapped out of his rage upon hearing the Dragon Monarch's voice, knowing that he had to show respect to the Monarch.
"Eternal Heaven God Emperor, do you still have any Time Wheel Pearls left?" Lou Changsheng asked.
Perplexed, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor responded with a question, "What is your command, Your Highness?"
Despite all of them being God Emperors, the Dragon Monarch was not an ordinary one. He was the Monarch of all God Emperors, so his words carried more weight than anyone else's in the room. The Dragon Monarch surveyed the gathering before focusing on the Eternal Heaven God Emperor once more.
"Since Yun Che is still injured, why don't you give him some more Time Wheel Pearls? They should help him recover, shouldn't they?"
"...I see" replied the Eternal Heaven God Emperor.
The Eternal Heaven God Emperor announced, "Yun Che, will be given five more Time Wheel Pearls to help their recoveries, to make it fair Lou Shangcheng will also be given additional 5 Time Wheel Pearls as well." He then looked at Lou Changsheng and added, "I hope this satisfies both participants."
Turning his head to the Snow Song Realm seating area, he asked Mu Bingyun, "Will this be enough for Yun Che to recover?"
Mu Bingyun awkwardly smiled and replied, "Yes, that should be enough."
"Then we shall return in three days from now," the Eternal Heaven God Emperor said. He then turned to the Moon God Emperor and asked, "Moon God Emperor, I hope this won't disturb any plans you may have for your wedding."
The Moon God Emperor smiled and replied, "Not at all, there are still close to three weeks left till then."
After that, Time Wheel Pearls were given to Mu Bingyun in place of Yun Che, and Lou Changsheng also received his.
In three days, the grand final will take place on the Conferred God Battle Stage. Afterwards, everyone left to return to their respective staying areas, each with their own thoughts.
The Time Wheel Pearl is a small pearl-shaped item that is created by the Eternal Heaven Pearl's power, Eternal Heaven Pearl is one of the Seven Heavenly Profound Treasures.
The Eternal Heaven Pearl possesses the power of Time and can create the Eternal Heaven Divide Realm, where individuals can train for as long as they desire. In this realm, the flow of time can be compressed as per one's will, and it is believed that a thousand years of training can be achieved in just a minute of real-world time.
However, due to the extinction of the True Gods/True Devil era, the Law of the God Realm has weakened, causing all the ancient treasures to lose much of their original power.
The Time Wheel Pearls, created by the Eternal Heaven Realm, can condense three months' worth of time in one hour each. As such, by giving Yun Che and Low Changsheng five Time Wheel Pearls each, the God Emperors have given them a total of fifteen months to prepare.

In Eternal Heaven Realm, in a small courtyard, a young girl look into the sky silently, then asked the youth next to her, "Ninety-ninth brother, do you think Big Brother Yun Che still hasn't recovered from his injuries?"
The youth next to her replied, "Impossible... it's impossible that he hasn't recovered. After all, I did secretly give him the Divide Water of Absolute Beginning by your instructions. Even if he had only one breath left, he should have been back to full health within days!"
The young girl then muttered to herself, "Then why didn't he come? After all... after all..."
Shui Yinghen watched as his sister lost in thought.
---------------------------------------
At the resting area of Snow Song Realm, one of the Ice Phoenix Sect palace masters asked, "Palace Master Bingyun, what happened to Yun Che?"
Another palace master chimed in, "Where is he right now?"
Mu Bingyun looked at the other palace master before replying, "Yun Che has returned to the sect with the sect master, and that's all I know." Not intending to answer any more questions, she left the resting place and flew towards the teleporting portal. Fortunately, the Eternal Heaven Realm had created teleporting portals throughout the Eastern Divide region, and one of them was conveniently located at the border of Snow Song Realm, making it easy for her to head back to the Ice Phoenix Sect/Snow Song Realm.
"Wait a minute... our sect master came to Eternal Heaven Realm?" Mu Huanzhi, one of the elders of the Ice Phoenix Sect, thought to himself as he pulled on his long white beard. "Didn't she say she wouldn't come?" He was puzzled.
---------------------------------------
Somewhere in the sky of Eternal Heaven Realm, a woman's figure could be seen. She had an especially slender build, and her head was adorned with luminous, long, gold-colored hair. Half of it spilled over her shoulders, while the rest hung all the way down to her buttocks. She seemed to be dressed in a special layer of soft, golden leather that tightly clung to her body, perfectly outlining every curve of her form. Her bosom and bottom were tall and swelled, and her waist was delicate as a willow. Every inch of her was so alluring that it could cause one's soul to go weak.
Anyone who laid eyes on this figure, even for an instant, would be convinced that she was an exceptional beauty whose every smile and frown could cause great chaos within the world. However, no one was fortunate enough to see her face, as a mask made of golden phoenix wings covered her cheeks and mysterious eyes. Beneath the mask, her tender pink jade lips emitted a light, and the slight curve of those lips was not the gentle kind of beautiful, but somewhat cold. Her exquisite chin resembled carved jade, shimmering like gems and so perfect that not a single blemish could be found.
Qianye Ying'er is her name, and she is at the very top of the God Realm in terms of both status and beauty. She is the daughter of Brahma God Emperor and the Future Brahma God Emperor herself!
"Uncle Gu, have you found out where Yun Che is?" she asked.
"No, miss. He seems to have disappeared suddenly," replied a voice.
Suddenly, a spatial rift opened up, and an old man as skinny as a bone emerged from it.
"How could Yun Che disappear without anyone noticing? Eternal Heaven Realm is guarded by many Divide Masters and Divide Sovereigns!" she exclaimed.
"Some powerful individual must have infiltrated Eternal Heaven Realm and taken him away," continued Qianye Ying'er.
"It doesn't matter who it was. As long as Yun Che comes back, I will get my hands on him and all of his secrets. Defeating a Divine Spirit as a Divine Tribulation is impossible, no matter how great his talent is"
The old man listened silently, his thoughts remaining unknown.
---------------------------------------
Similar thoughts are echoing throughout the Eternal Heaven Realm.
"Where are you, sister? Where is Yun Che?" Mu Bingyun immediately transmitted a message to her sister, Mu Xuanyin, upon returning to the Snow Song Realm and seeing the Ice Phoenix Sect's signal.
"Palace Master Bingyun, we're at Netherfrost Lake," surprisingly, Yun Che replied to her transmission.
Without further questioning, Mu Bingyun flew directly towards the location of Heavenly Netherfrost Lake.
When she arrived at the lake, she saw Yun Che and Mu Xuanyin just resurfacing from the water. Although the lake's water was iced freezing cold, it couldn't affect them at all.
Mu Bingyun's eyes couldn't believe what they were seeing, and she thought she was hallucinating. The lake seemed to losses its holiness, but that wasn't what shocked her.
Yun Che had his arm around Mu Xuanyin's waist while her head was resting beside his.
"Uh...ah..." Mu Bingyun's mind was not functioning properly.
"Ahem! Palace Master Bingyun, what's happened?" Yun Che cleared his throat, awakening Mu Bingyun from her unresponsive state.
After a while, Mu Bingyun regained her composure and replied, "The Eternal Heaven Realm has decided not to accept your withdrawal and will hold the grand final fight in three days!"
"I won't be able to participate," Yun Che replied, "since I'm currently *injured*"
Mu Bingyun looked at the perfectly healthy Yun Che and said, "That won't be a problem anymore. The Eternal Heaven has decided to give you more Time Wheel Pearls to heal your... injuries."
Suddenly, a lightning bolt of realization struck her, prompting her to recall the most critical information. She uttered, "Lou Changsheng...he...he.." "has become the Divine King..." Before she could complete her sentence, Yun Che interjected, finishing her words for her.
Mu Bingyun was taken aback by this and then realized that the Profound God Convention was being transmitted throughout the entire Eastern Divine Region, meaning that Yun Che had likely already seen it.
"How do you plan on dealing with this?" Mu Bingyun inquired. "Lou Changsheng becoming the Divine King is not merely a ceremonial title. Even with your miraculous strength that enables you to fight against those from higher realms, the Divine King is not someone to be trifled with," she added.
"You needn't fret over that, Bingyun," Mu Xuanyin spoke up, her head resting on Yun Che's shoulder. "I'm confident that Che'er will find a way," she added, her voice brimming with emotion and tenderness when she referred to him as "Che'er."
Although Mu Bingyun didn't fully comprehend what her sister was alluding to, she decided to trust her unconditionally, as she always had. However, the way her sister spoke to Yun Che, as though they were old lovers, made her feel somewhat uneasy. After all, she was the only outsider who knew about the intimate relationship between her sister and Yun Che during their time in Flame God Realm's God Burying Inferno Prison.
"What do you propose we do now?" Mu Bingyun inquired, as she handed over all five Time Wheel Pearls to Yun Che.
Yun Che addressed Mu Bingyun, "Please inform everyone at the Eternal Heaven Realm Palace, Master Bingyun, that I will definitely be there in three days."
"Very well then, I shall meet you at the Eternal Heaven Realm," Mu Bingyun replied before taking off into the distance.
Mu Xuanyin turned to Yun Che and asked, "What do you plan to do now, Che'er?"
Yun Che gazed at Mu Xuanyin with affection and gently cupped her face in his hand. "Well, they seem to be eager to go die, I will gladly fulfill their wish," he declared. With that, they both descended into the depths of Netherfrost Lake once again.
