The God of World vanished as soon as the time spell disappeared, leaving Little Plum with Tangyu Sanjun among the royals of the devil world.
The devil emperor ordered his people to escort Little Plum and Tangyu Sanjun back to the Calming Heart Palace.
Afterwards, the devil emperor turned to the crown prince and said, "Don't hurt our guest. The God of World has always favored Tangyu Sanjun. From the moment of his birth, the God of the World has always given all the divine treasures to this celestial prince."
"Yes, father emperor, this son obeys. However, there is one thing this son doesn't understand, I hope father emperor can clarify it for me."
"Speak," the devil emperor allowed.
"Why did the God of the World has agreed to your request not to tell the celestials about Tangyu Sanjun's whereabouts?"
The devil emperor shook his head. "In the eyes of the God of the World, the devil race and the celestial race have the same weight in his heart. He could care less if they exterminated us, or if we exterminated them."
"Isn't he a bit too cold-blooded not to care about his own creations?"
"Shut up!" the devil emperor commanded. "He is all seeing, all hearing and all knowing. The only thing I can say for certain is that the God of the World is a compassionate creator. He allowed his creations to have the power to shape their own destiny and the opportunity to manifest their dreams. If I was in his place, I don't know if I can do the same."
Meanwhile in the celestial realm
"Lord, have you found our third son?" the celestial emperor asked worriedly.
"I assure you he is fine. But I can't tell you his whereabouts."
The celestial emperor's face which had been softening with relief suddenly turned upset.
"Why can't your lordship tell me?"
"I made an agreement with someone. However, you don't have to worry, I have placed a protective barrier on him. And as soon as a person dies, your son will return to your side."
"Someone has to die? Who is it? I will kill them right away," the celestial emperor furiously spat out.
"No need for your intervention. If you were to kill that person now, your son will never be cured. Didn't you ask me to find someone to teach your son emotions? I have found for him the finest teacher under the heavens."
"This, . . . but how can I stop my old father's heart from worrying," the celestial emperor sighed as spoke.
"Tsk, tsk," the God of the World dissatisfiedly displayed. "You ask me for a favor and I comply and then you act like this. If you are unhappy with the results then you shouldn't find me to help you in the first place. I'm a busy man. Every day, I hear countless prayer requests from the mortals."
"I apologize to your lordship. I don't mean to sound ungrateful. It's just my child is still young and he is away from home."
"Do you think that I don't also share your pain? When you and your wife poured your divine energy into creating the third prince, it was I who gave him part of my cosmic energy. Otherwise, he would have died before he even came to life."
The celestial emperor had nothing to refute the God of the World's words. Because all these things had happened. If not for the God of the World, his third son would never have existed in the first place.
"Then, I'll wait for his safe return," the celestial emperor finally acquiesced.
