Xu Chang Sheng watched Ye Ling and Wang Die converse, completely bewildered, unable to grasp what they were talking about.
Return from another world…
Could it be that Ye Ling wasn't from Earth?
But wasn't Ye Ling Su Xue Er's brother?
Xu Chang Sheng's mind was in a muddle, but he knew it wasn't the time for him to ask questions. He could only suppress all his doubts and stand behind, silently watching Ye Ling and Wang Die.
Ye Ling asked Wang Die, "So you waited for me here because there's something you want to tell me?"
Wang Die glanced at Xu Chang Sheng behind Ye Ling, then looked back at Ye Ling.
Ye Ling understood Wang Die's expression and smiled, "It's fine. Although that kid is weak, he's generally reliable and one of us."
Hearing Ye Ling's "praise," Xu Chang Sheng's mouth twitched. "Thank you, Master, for your praise…"
Seeing that Ye Ling had said as much, Wang Die didn't insist on Xu Chang Sheng leaving. She looked at Ye Ling and said, "I waited for you not for matters between us, but for the life and death of Earth."
The life and death of Earth?
Upon hearing Wang Die's words, Xu Chang Sheng's expression instantly changed. He no longer cared about Ye Ling's evaluation of him and stared intently at Wang Die.
He hadn't expected to overhear such a momentous matter here!
If anyone else were discussing such things, Xu Chang Sheng would likely dismiss it as a joke and not take it to heart.
But both Ye Ling and Wang Die occupied heights unattainable by ordinary people, and the information they possessed far exceeded others' imagination.
Xu Chang Sheng had no choice but to believe the conversation between Ye Ling and Wang Die!
Hearing what Wang Die said, Ye Ling's eyes slightly narrowed, and he became a little more serious.
Besides Xuan Yu and Zhang Xiao Ling, Wang Die was the first person to realize that Earth would face a crisis.
Moreover, unlike Xuan Yu and Zhang Xiao Ling, Wang Die was a genuine Earthling!
This point alone made Wang Die different from everyone else.
Ye Ling looked deeply at Wang Die and said solemnly, "Are you saying… the life and death of Earth?"
Wang Die replied, "I thought the Emperor had returned some time ago and you would have already encountered these matters… Are you genuinely unaware, or are you deliberately testing me?"
Ye Ling smiled, "You can try to guess which one I am."
Hearing Ye Ling's answer, Wang Die shook her head with a wry smile. "Never mind, I can't fathom the thoughts of a great figure like you. However, in the current three realms, besides you, sir, who has the ability to turn the tide, everyone else is merely a fragile boat in the ocean when darkness descends."
Xu Chang Sheng slightly lowered his head, muttering to himself, "Darkness descends…"
At this moment, a tempest raged in Xu Chang Sheng's heart, making him think he was dreaming!
He noticed that Wang Die specifically mentioned the three realms.
The three realms of Heaven, Earth, and Man on Earth included all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, as well as the demons in hell!
The darkness that even those gods and Buddhas couldn't resist, Xu Chang Sheng couldn't imagine what was about to descend.
Wang Die continued, "Since I opened my Heavenly Eye, my purpose has been to wait for the Emperor to come and then assist the Emperor in overcoming this calamity."
"This not only helps Earth through this tribulation but also helps you, Emperor, through a great tribulation."
"Help me through a tribulation?"
Ye Ling looked directly into Wang Die's eyes and laughed, "No one has ever dared to say such a thing to me. You are the first."
Wang Die smiled charmingly and said, "Emperor, although my strength is less than one ten-thousandth of yours, I might know more than you."
Ye Ling: "For example?"
Wang Die said softly, "Emperor, when you ascended from Saint to Emperor, and then broke through from Emperor realm to Supreme, you hadn't yet severed your inner demons, had you?"
As soon as Wang Die uttered this sentence, Ye Ling was slightly shaken, and his entire aura instantly changed!
In the Eastern Xuan Continent, ascending from Saint to Great Emperor required severing one's inner demons and completing a thorough transformation before achieving the Emperor realm!
This had always been the case from ancient times to the present.
But Ye Ling was different. Let alone severing inner demons, Ye Ling had never even given birth to inner demons. His ascent from Saint to Emperor realm was natural, without any obstacles!
Ye Ling had never understood why he was in such a special situation. He had searched all the ancient lands of the Eastern Xuan Continent and read countless books, but he couldn't find an answer.
Yet now, on Earth, a young girl in her twenties had directly spoken about the question that had been troubling him!
Wang Die knew the answer to a question that couldn't be found in the Eastern Xuan Continent… Who exactly was she?
The information contained within this was too vast; how could Ye Ling not be shocked?
Ye Ling's expression turned icy, and he said coldly, "How did you know this?"
Even in the Eastern Xuan Continent, only his trusted ten Divine Soldiers vaguely knew about this matter…
Besides them, no one else was aware!
Ye Ling didn't believe that Wang Die had touched upon the Great Dao of Time and could know the past and future, thus being able to pry into his secrets!
Sensing Ye Ling's overwhelming and powerful aura, Wang Die's face turned a little pale. She instinctively took two steps back, standing at the edge of the cliff.
Wang Die found it difficult to even breathe, only managing to say with difficulty, "Emperor, you are exerting such an aura on a small woman like me, I truly cannot bear it."
Hearing Wang Die's words, Ye Ling quickly calmed down, completely retracting his aura, and looked at Wang Die, "What is your true intention? And who is behind you?"
With Wang Die's cultivation, Ye Ling was a hundred percent certain that there must be a powerful expert behind her, no weaker than himself, perhaps even a former mighty figure from the Eastern Xuan Continent.
Wang Die's so-called opening of the Heavenly Eye was likely also the doing of the person behind her.
Seeing that Ye Ling had withdrawn his aura, Wang Die breathed a sigh of relief and said to Ye Ling, "I'm very sorry, Emperor, but I cannot tell you this."
Ye Ling then asked, "Saying that, aren't you afraid I'll perform a soul-searching on you?" Da Feng Novel Network
Wang Die smiled, "I am afraid… That's why I obtained the device invented by Li Xiao Mei from Yang Shan. I must say, it's a divine artifact. Otherwise, I wouldn't know how to say these things to you, Emperor."
"If Emperor truly wishes to search my soul…" Wang Die stood at the cliff's edge, spreading her arms towards Ye Ling, "Emperor, please do so. This humble girl will not resist and will allow Emperor to take what he wishes."
Ye Ling: "…"
Seeing Wang Die adopt such a stance, Ye Ling knew that soul-searching and severe interrogation would be useless against her. He had no choice but to abandon this line of questioning and instead asked, "Then let's change the topic. Why did you wait for me here, and what did you want to tell me?"
Wang Die said softly, "What I want to say is about the darkness that is about to descend upon Earth…"
"It is the Emperor's inner demon."
