Many years later, when he met an old friend, would he have experienced the vicissitudes of life?
Ye Chen looked at Mo Feng. That familiar face, sharp eyes, and cold expression were as familiar as he remembered. However, was he still the Mo Feng of the past?
"Call me Ye Chen." Ye Chen suddenly smiled. "I prefer the name of this life."
Mo Feng's eyes flickered. He nodded and said, "You are still you. You haven't changed at all."
Ye Chen looked at him with a smile.
What about you? Have you changed?
He didn't ask.
Some things didn't need to be asked to know the answer.
"You have regained the identity of the Darkness Master. What about the White Dragon and the others?"
Ye Chen's gaze swept from Mo Feng to the Goddess of Light. He looked at his former sister.
Now, she was the leader of the gods.
On her body, there was only glory, purity, and power. There wasn't a trace of weakness from before.
However, he didn't know why, but he preferred that weak sister of his.
Sometimes, being strong was not as good as being weak.
"You should be able to guess who the White Dragon is." The Darkness Master suddenly spoke.
"Oh?"
"You have seen him before, and you have a deep relationship with him." The Darkness Master said slowly.
Ye Chen was startled. He frowned slightly. After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up. He couldn't help but laugh. "You can't be saying that he is my Heavenly Dao teacher?"
The Darkness Master nodded. He still seemed to cherish every word he said. "Other than Heavenly Dao, who else has such great ability to seduce three of the ten Hall Masters of the ancient world?"
Ye Chen touched his nose.
Indeed, not many people could do such a thing.
However, he did not expect that the White Dragon was actually the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao. According to the memories of all the experts on the Ancient Continent, the Heavenly Dao should have died. He did not expect it to be reincarnated. Moreover, when the White Dragon saw the Heavenly Dao Divine Boat, it did not evoke his memories at all. He did not know if it was because the memories were sealed too deeply when he reincarnated.
Ye Chen sighed softly, "Mo Feng, I once said something to you. I don't know if you still remember."
The Darkness Master frowned. "What is it?"
Ye Chen glanced at the Goddess of Light and the others with sorrow in his eyes. He said in a low voice, "Regarding the Ancient World Peak and the secrets of Earth, I made you swear that you would never reveal them."
Upon hearing about the Ancient World Peak and Earth, the Heavenly Darkness God, the Heavenly Light Goddess, and the others all narrowed their eyes. These two matters had always been absolute secrets. Perhaps only the Ancient War Lord, the Ancient Gods, and the others knew about them. They didn't expect that Ye Chen had actually told Mo Feng about them.
Everyone turned to look at the Heavenly Darkness God.
The Heavenly Darkness God shook his head slightly. There was a hint of doubt in his eyes as he looked at his son. Could it be that the emotions of this life had changed him? Could it be that he had actually hidden things from him?
Or perhaps something had gone wrong when he returned, causing his memories to be damaged?
"I don't remember you saying that. Don't try to sow discord between us. This kind of trick is useless," the Darkness Master said coldly.
Ye Chen sighed softly, and he said sadly, "I should have known that when a person changes, they would forget many things that had happened in the past. Regardless of whether they were happy or sad, they would forget everything. However, I didn't expect that you would actually forget everything so cleanly. I also don't know if you've truly forgotten everything or if you've just faked it. No matter what, I'll tell you one more time. However, you have to promise me that you won't reveal anything!"
A glint flashed across the Darkness Master's eyes. "Why are you telling me this?
The current situation is very clear. We're enemies, and we're enemies. By doing this, could it be that you want them to capture me and interrogate me after this matter is over?
You know that I don't believe in oaths. Since you've told me, I'll definitely tell them. "
Ye Chen said bitterly, "When a person obtains power that's too great, they'll always want to obtain companions. Although you've already changed, you're still my companion in my heart. This will definitely not change!"
The Darkness Master fell silent.
The Heavenly Darkness God and Heavenly Light Goddess exchanged a look. Only then did the Heavenly Darkness God slowly say, "Go and listen to what he has to say. He intends to only tell you this secret. By the looks of it, he wants to support you. It's also your fortune to be able to make such a friend."
The Darkness Master nodded. "I understand, Father."
After saying this, he arrived before Ye Chen.
Ye Chen looked at him, and transmitted his voice. "Previously, I've said that there's always been a secret hidden within the Ancient World Peak. This secret is related to the Ancient Gods and the Ancient War Lord. It's …"
Whoosh!
He suddenly lashed out, and a sharp saber intent swept toward him like a palm. The Darkness Master's power was instantly sealed and confined within his body.
This sudden change caught the Heavenly Darkness God and the others off guard. Previously, they hadn't tried to probe into Ye Chen's voice transmission. This was because they knew that if they tried to probe with their own abilities, Ye Chen would definitely detect it.
However, when they saw the Darkness Master's serious and engrossed expression as he listened to Ling Han's words, they were also slightly breathless. They completely hadn't expected such a change.
The Darkness Master was even more surprised.
He looked at Ye Chen in shock. "You —"
Ye Chen sighed softly and grabbed him. "We've been friends for many years, so you should know my personality. Now that the Heavenly Darkness God, the Heavenly Light Goddess, and the Heavenly Earth God have all arrived, and the nine Heavenly Gods have joined forces. In this world, probably only the Ancient Gods and the Ancient War Lord can stand up to them. If they want to capture me, it'll be a piece of cake.
The Darkness Master was stunned.
The Heavenly Light Goddess' expression changed slightly as she looked at Ye Chen. "How can you do this? To think that I trusted you so much!
Just now, the Heavenly Darkness God and the Heavenly Earth God were already prepared for such a situation, and they wanted to strengthen the Darkness Master's body. I was the one who promised them that. Who would've thought that I'd misjudged you! "
Ye Chen chuckled. "There are times when everyone misjudges someone."
In the eyes of the Heavenly Light Goddess, his smile was filled with shamelessness and despicableness.
"Ye Chen, I never thought that you'd be someone who would betray his friends," the Darkness Master said furiously. "I was blind in the past to actually follow you."
Ye Chen tightened his grip around his throat and grinned. "Your dog eyes are indeed blind, and your dog brain isn't very good either. You seem to have forgotten that I've never had any friends. The reason why I was able to reach where I am today is precisely because I've never had any friends. You have friends, and that's why you're in my hands now.
That's how friends are used. "
The Darkness Master's expression was ashen, yet he had nothing to say in response.
Sometimes, friends were indeed thousands of times more terrifying than enemies!
"My good little sister, now that I'm in front of you, I have to use a hostage to escape unscathed. You're really my good little sister." Ye Chen said with a smile on his face, but there was a deep sadness in his eyes.
The Heavenly Light Goddess and the Heavenly Earth God both turned to look at the Heavenly Darkness God.
The one being threatened was the Darkness Master, so they naturally had to ask the Heavenly Darkness God about this matter.
The Heavenly Darkness God silently looked at Ye Chen. His knuckles cracked, and his veins bulged like venomous snakes. However, a faint smile slowly spread across his face. "Do it …"
As he said these three words, his body suddenly flashed. He took a step forward, and the energy all over his body also surged forth.
Pu!
The sound of something snapping interrupted him. The Darkness Master's arm had been torn off by Ye Chen with a light twist. Then, it was pulverized into the most primitive form of energy by countless saber projections. Not even a speck of it remained.
Cold sweat seeped out of the Darkness Master's forehead. Although he was already immune to pain at his cultivation level, Ye Chen's intentional manipulation had amplified the pain nerves all over his body by millions of times. At this moment, the pain of having his arm torn off was equivalent to a woman going into labor by millions of times!
This definitely wasn't something that ordinary nerves and willpower could endure.
Ye Chen grinned as he looked at the Heavenly Darkness God. He slowly tightened his grip around the Darkness Master's other arm, and a series of bone-cracking sounds rang out. It was as if a demon were laughing shrilly, and this sound was tormenting the Heavenly Darkness God's nerves.
He breathed heavily, and his knuckles cracked as he clenched them. It was as if he were going to crush the air.
"See, this is kinship. How noble is it? They don't care whether you live or die."
Ye Chen smiled as he spoke into the Darkness Master's ear. "You should also know that I'm very important to them. They can only deal with me after the nine gods have fused into one and completely fused their divine seal into a single body. Meanwhile, I'm the best weapon, the only weapon that can kill the Ancient Gods and Ancient War Lords."
The Darkness Master was in so much pain that he was drenched in cold sweat. He naturally understood the stakes involved in this.
"A person who wants to achieve great things will always be able to let go of love and kinship. This kind of person will eventually succeed. However, they will definitely be lonely because there will be no one to share their joy with."
Ye Chen smiled as he looked at the Heavenly Darkness God. It was unknown whether he was trying to tempt him into attacking, or whether he was trying to threaten him into not attacking.
The Heavenly Darkness God stared at Mo Feng's face. He only had one son, and he loved him the most. In order to nurture Mo Feng to his current level, he had expended a lot of effort. However, if he took even the slightest step, all of his efforts would be gone. He definitely wouldn't be able to replace them.
He knew that if Ye Chen wanted to kill someone, that person definitely wouldn't have the chance to come back to life.
"Forget it. Let him go."
The Heavenly Light Goddess sighed softly. Her gaze was gentle and warm as she looked at Ye Chen. "Big Brother, no matter what, you'll always be my big brother. Let me call you this one last time. From today onwards, when I see you again, I won't be your little sister anymore."
Ye Chen used all of his strength to smile. His body slowly floated backward, tearing open the spatial connection to the Ancient World. As long as he entered the Ancient World, the Ancient War Lord would definitely not allow the nine Heavenly Gods to obtain him.
The Heavenly Gods, including the Heavenly Darkness God, all looked on helplessly as Ye Chen retreated. They wanted nothing more than to charge out immediately. However, they could only endure this.
Just as Ye Chen was about to enter the Ancient World, the Heavenly Darkness God suddenly roared. Tears streamed down his face as he raised his head to the sky and roared, "Die!!!"
The blood in his body boiled and burned like an enraged beast. His body flashed, and he directly charged toward Ye Chen. The Five Thearch Shield was like a spinning wheel of wind and fire, tearing the surrounding space into countless fragments.
Ye Chen frowned slightly. His hand continued to crush the Heavenly Darkness God's limbs. Crisp sounds that resembled firecrackers rang out one after another, and the sound of blades sliced at the Heavenly Darkness God's nerves. However, this didn't affect his actions.
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly. With a push of his hand, he tossed Mo Feng out. Then, he quickly charged into the Ancient World.
