Su Zimo put away the white jade pendant again. Suddenly, he thought of something else and asked, “How long is the lifespan of a Great Emperor?”
Die Yue said, “The Emperor has a lifespan of about 10 million years. If a Great Emperor is in the next major realm, his lifespan will definitely be more than 10 million years.”
“As for the Great Emperor experts in history, almost none of them had a good end. Most of them died in the catastrophes of the world. Therefore, it’s difficult to guess the lifespans of Great Emperors.”
Su Zimo said, “According to what I know, although Great Emperor Longevity of the previous era lived out his entire life, it was only 20 million years.”
“There are two possibilities.”
Die Yue said, “Firstly, the lifespan of a Great Emperor is 20 million years. Secondly, living beings in the medium chiliocosm are restricted by the laws of the world and their lifespan is limited to 20 million years.”
“Something is still amiss.”
Su Zimo shook his head. “Although the Six Paths stand side by side with the medium chiliocosm, they’re also beneath the major chiliocosm. Logically speaking, the Great Emperors of the Six Paths should have a limit to their lifespans.”
“However, the Fiend Lord and Empress Evil existed a few eras ago and are probably hundreds of millions of years old. How could they have lived for so long?”
Die Yue shook her head.
She could not figure that out either.
For several eras, most of the Great Emperors of the medium chiliocosm died in the catastrophes of the world. However, the Fiend Lord and Empress Evil had survived until now!
Su Zimo said in a deep voice, “Or could it be that the Fiend Lord and Empress Evil have died a long time ago? However, they can revive in every generation?” However, before long, Su Zimo rejected that thought.
Great Emperors were already the upper limit of power in the medium chiliocosm.
What kind of power was needed to revive a Great Emperor?
Even the Heaven Burial Sutra could not do it.
“Why does Blue want to conquer the Great Wilderness?”
Su Zimo asked.
“I don’t know and it’s not important.”
Die Yue said, “Do you remember what I said to you? The upper world is like a b.l.o.o.d.y and dark forest. The ten thousand races survive as though they’re walking on thin ice and other forces can barge in at any moment and kill wantonly.”
“In the eyes of Blue, the living beings of the ten thousand races of the Great Wilderness are like ants.”
“There’s no need for any reason. Initially, Blue did not even take the living beings of the Great Wilderness seriously. It merely stomped over, as though it was taking a casual step in a forest. It did not even bother to lower its head to take another look.”
“However, it did not expect to step on a stone.”
As she said that, Die Yue’s gaze s.h.i.+fted and landed on the ground not far away.
Instantly, it was as though time had sped up.
On the hard ground, a few weak and tender gra.s.ses grew tenaciously. They were filled with vitality and emitted the aura of life.
A b.u.t.terfly fluttered and landed on the gra.s.s.
Suddenly!
A violent wind blew past, causing sand and rocks to fly.
The violent wind came extremely suddenly and swept past the b.u.t.terfly, destroying its thin wings, as though it wanted to blow it into the distance and tear it into pieces.
The b.u.t.terfly looked so weak and helpless in the violent wind.
The wings on its back were almost snapped!
However, the b.u.t.terfly remained motionless the entire time and fought against the howling winds in silence!
“Look at this gra.s.s. No matter how hard the ground is, it will always grow out of the ground.”
Suddenly, Die Yue’s voice sounded. “This violent wind can blow up sand and gravel, but it can’t blow away the skinny b.u.t.terfly.”
“This is life.”
“No matter how weak a race is, it’s still life.”
“The power of life lies in disobedience!”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that.
At that moment, he sensed Die Yue’s Dao!
It was precisely because of that disobedience that Die Yue could rise against the tide and grow to her current state from the weakest b.u.t.terfly race!
Die Yue asked again, “Do you know why I imparted you the Dharmic Dao in Ping Yang Town back then?”
Su Zimo said, “You once said that it was because you wanted to sever the karma between the two of us.”
“That’s only one of the reasons.”
Die Yue said, “If you had chosen to submit and compromise against the bullying of that Golden Core Perfected Being back then, I would have still imparted the Dharmic Dao to you as well and ended this karma. However, I wouldn’t have taught you cultivation personally or left you any gifts.”
“It’s precisely because you didn’t kneel that I can sense that disobedience and the power of life from you.”
Su Zimo was enlightened.
That explained everything. Even though Die Yue lived in his residence for two years, she did not speak to him much.
However, after that incident, she took the initiative to look for him and wanted to impart the Dharmic Dao to him so that he could cultivate!
Right then, the b.u.t.terfly that was originally persevering in the violent wind suddenly flapped its wings gently.
Instantly, the entire world seemed to have stopped!
The next moment, the trembling wings on the b.u.t.terfly’s back stirred up an even more terrifying storm that swept in all directions!
As for the b.u.t.terfly, it stood in the storm like a G.o.d!
Gradually, two purple flames appeared in Su Zimo’s eyes.
The scene earlier on was not a coincidence.
Die Yue was imparting the Dao!
Of course, a single Dharmic Dao could not allow Su Zimo to advance his cultivation realm. However, for the two true bodies, they could obtain a lot of insights from it.
Looking at Su Zimo who was comprehending the Dharmic Dao, Die Yue nodded slightly with a look of admiration.
Right then, Die Yue’s expression changed. As though she sensed something, she glanced into the distance and suddenly vanished on the spot.
b.u.t.terfly Valley.
In the meeting hall.
When Die Yue arrived, eight Demon Emperors of the East Wilderness were already present!
“What is it?”
Die Yue sat in the middle and asked indifferently. Her blood-red robe exuded a powerful aura.
Beside Su Zimo, Die Yue would still reveal her weak side inadvertently. However, in front of others, she was the invincible Demon Empress Blood b.u.t.terfly whose name shook the Great Wilderness!
“There’s a commotion from the Tai Ah Mountain Range.”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea sat on a chair and did not get up. He said in a deep voice, “Blue should be making a move on the Tai Ah Mountain Range soon. I’m afraid Tian Wu won’t be able to defend alone.”
“Tian Wu colluded with Zu Shu and is already dead.”
Die Yue said.
When they heard that, the expressions of the few Demon Emperors present changed slightly.
Demon Emperor Great Peng said, “Since that’s the case, let’s give up on the Tai Ah Mountain Range. The few of us can’t even take care of ourselves and can’t provide support.”
“I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Demon Emperor Divine Elephant frowned. “There are still dozens of countries and billions of living beings in the Tai Ah Mountain Range. Once we give up, Blue will charge in and countless races will be slaughtered.”
“What should we do then?”
Demon Emperor Mystic Snake said, “If we go and provide support, the mountain ranges we preside over will be empty. If Blue takes advantage of that, we’ll suffer even greater losses.”
Suddenly, Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea said, “We should be able to defend against Blue’s attack if Blood b.u.t.terfly steps in. However…”
Pausing for a moment, he looked at Die Yue. “It hasn’t been long since the previous battle. Blood b.u.t.terfly, your injuries…”
Die Yue was expressionless as she glanced at Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea. “What are you trying to say?”
“It’s nothing much.”
Dragon Emperor Desolate Sea said, “I’m just thinking that we won’t be able to retain the Tai Ah Mountain Range if your injuries have yet to recover. If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire East Wilderness is annexed by Blue.”
“In that case, why are we still insisting on persevering? Given our combat strength, the sooner we submit, the more time we’ll get to prove ourselves under Blue’s lead..”
