Su Chen was shocked when he heard that.
"Even you can't handle it?"
"I can clear the Demonic Abyss's ashes, but the price is too high. There's no need to do so. My power is strong, but it comes from the Queen. I can't waste her power for a mere Demonic Abyss … To put it bluntly, you're not important enough in my heart."
Su Chen blushed with shame. Actually, you don't have to add insult to injury.
But then again, he had relied on Flowing Light Phantom's love pledge effect to increase Mo Mo's favorability towards him by 35 points. If that wasn't enough, then the initial favorability value might be much lower than he had expected.
As expected, a woman of this level wasn't easy to win over.
This gave Su Chen a headache.
If even someone as strong as Mo Mo had to pay a high price to deal with the Demonic Abyss's ashes, then he was even less qualified.
Did he really have to give up on the Demonic Abyss?
It wasn't hard to give up on the Demonic Abyss. The difficult part was finding a place to settle so many demons.
Even if he was now the Immortal Emperor and could command the Three Realms, if he forced the demons to settle down in the Primordial Universe, he'd definitely incur the wrath of the masses. Cultivators and demons were mortal enemies. The relationship between the two was like fire and water. Once they settled down, it'd lead to an intense conflict. When that happened, the Primordial Universe wouldn't be peaceful.
What if he took the demons into his fantasy universe and made them into two-dimensional characters?
But there were too many demons. If they were few in number, then it'd be fine. But with such a large population, even his fantasy universe wouldn't be able to hold them.
Just as Su Chen was in a dilemma, Mo Mo said, "Actually, there's another way. You're now the Immortal Emperor of the Primordial Universe. You can be considered the ruler of this universe. If you choose to join the Primordial Demon Land and make the Primordial Universe a part of it, then the Queen won't sit idly by."
After all this time, she still wants to recruit me.
Su Chen hesitated. "I can't give you an answer yet."
"Fine. I know you're going to the Starry Sky. It won't be too late to make a decision after you're there. I won't force you."
She waved her hand, and the ashes around her began to dissipate. The spatial crack was also suppressed by a mysterious force and gradually closed up.
In the blink of an eye, the last wisp of ash in the Immortal World disappeared and the world returned to its former state.
"Grand-aunt, you?"
"The connection between this place and the ashes isn't that strong, so it won't take much effort to clean it up. It won't be troublesome for me to help you get rid of it. Of course, this is all because of you. Otherwise, the life and death of the Primordial Chaos Universe would have nothing to do with me. I've seen too many dimensions being nibbled away by the ashes. Perhaps while we're talking, a part of the universe has already been completely devoured by the ashes."
Su Chen was amused.
It seemed like he still had a place in Great Aunt's heart.
If he worked hard, he might still have a chance.
Perhaps what he should be most concerned about now was not how to solve the problem brought by Evernight Ashes, but how to increase Silent Observer's favorability with him.
Regardless of whether he would join the Land of Primordial Demons in the future or not, there would only be benefits and no disadvantages if his favorability increased silently.
It could even be said that if her favorability was high enough, he'd have more confidence in rejecting the Land of Primordial Demons' offer of enlistment in the future.
Of course, it wasn't that easy to take advantage of Queen Justice's soft rice. At least for now, Su Chen couldn't find a suitable breakthrough.
"Thank you for your help, Grand-aunt. I have some free time these few days, why don't I take you around the Primordial Chaos Universe for a tour?"
"That's fine too. Although I've only taken a cursory look around these two days, I've discovered many interesting places. Although the Primordial Chaos Universe is a lower dimension, its history is unexpectedly long. It was born in the early days of the chaos, and many places still retain the marks of the ancient chaos. It's worth visiting."
"As long as Grand-aunt likes it."
After returning to the Lingxiao Palace, Su Chen escorted his wives back to the Fortress of the Gods and gave some instructions to Nangong Yaoguang. Then, he took Silent Observer on a tour of the Primordial Chaos Universe.
To be precise, Silent Observer was taking him around. Although it seemed to be her first time in the Primordial Chaos Universe, she seemed to know everything here better than Su Chen.
Su Chen had completely become her playmate. All he had to do was take care of her clothing, food, shelter, and transportation. He didn't need to worry about anything else.
In the blink of an eye, a few days had passed.
On this day, Su Chen followed Silent Observer to the border of the Primordial Chaos Universe and landed on a desolate planet.
This was a lonely planet without any stars. It was smaller than Earth and was only the size of a pellet. Although there were signs of life, it was mostly barren. The air was thin and the vegetation was sparse. There were no signs of any intelligent civilization being born here.
There were countless planets like this in the universe and could be said to be inconspicuous. If Su Chen passed by, he wouldn't even take a second look.
However, Silent Observer developed a strong interest in this place. As soon as she arrived, she began to look around for something. She looked from land to sea, then from desert to underground. Finally, she came to an ancient, damp, and dark karst cave.
This karst cave was indeed quite old. It was very large and difficult to form without tens of billions of years.
This should be a planet that was born at the beginning of the Primordial Chaos Universe. Perhaps it once had a glorious period.
However, Su Chen still couldn't see what was so special about this place.
Silent Observer smiled and walked into the depths of the karst cave. She spun around as if she was dancing. The originally dark cave was instantly covered with a layer of dreamy light. The originally calm space was like window paper that was being pulled open layer by layer.
After shedding its original appearance, the deeper essence of this space began to gradually reveal itself.
"This is!"
Su Chen saw that there was a mysterious little flower hidden in the deepest part of the space.
Beside the mysterious little flower, there was a pure and flawless mist surging. Su Chen felt an extremely ancient aura.
That was … the aura of chaos!
A swaying flower grew in the chaos.
Although he didn't know what it meant, Su Chen was sure that it was definitely a treasure.
"Madam, what is this?" Su Chen asked.
Silent Observer waved her hand and directly plucked the little white flower from the chaos.
She gently sniffed for a while and revealed a beautiful smile. She said, "This is a life that can only be born in the early days of chaos. It is called Moment's Flower. Logically speaking, it will bloom for a moment and then wither. However, there are exceptions. If a new universe is born when the Moment's Flower blooms, then the Moment's Flower will reside in the new universe and be preserved for a long time. This thing is extremely rare. You may not be able to find one in ten thousand universes."
