Seeing Empress Yao Guang's tearful face, Ye Fan knew that if he did not intervene soon, she would likely turn to join the Emperor's camp. He immediately stepped forward and said, "Empress Yao Guang, you mustn't be so heartbroken. Although the Emperor has borne much and endured much for you, you must understand that he has committed far too many atrocities. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is filled with evil. You have no reason to grieve for someone like him!"
"Think about it, how did your sister die?"
"If it weren't for the Emperor, would she have met such a tragic end? Would the subsequent blood massacre have happened?"
"In the end, it all comes down to the Emperor's own actions. Why should you sympathize with such a person?"
Empress Yao Guang's gaze suddenly turned sharp as she looked at Ye Fan, her eyes brimming with murderous intent.
She coldly said, "Even if he is filled with evil, what does that have to do with me? Do I have the right to blame him?"
"I don't have the right to blame him!"
"Clearly, he has done so much for me, borne so much for me, and suffered the eternal curses of humanity. Yet in the end, I still have to condemn him to death. I am already ashamed to face him. I can only atone with my death, to apologize to humanity and to him!"
"But before I die, I must save him. I must rescue him!"
"Even if the world sees him as a world-destroying demon, I must save him. Even if he has wronged the world, I have no right to hate him."
As she spoke, Empress Yao Guang's eyes shone with boundless coldness.
Her eyes flashed with a sharp light.
Even though she had now become a supreme emperor, one of the most powerful beings in the world, Empress Yao Guang still had a pure and simple heart, as she had always been, purely to the extreme.
She had a clear distinction between right and wrong, good and evil, and stubbornly adhered to her own views.
However, because of what this man had done for her, borne for her, and sacrificed for her, Empress Yao Guang abandoned her notions of right and wrong. She no longer wanted to argue about whether Chu Yang's actions were right or wrong.
She only wanted to rescue him from the Celestial Emperor's realm.
Empress Yao Guang could hardly imagine the pain and despair this man felt when she personally suppressed him back then!
Although he was a world-destroying demon, filled with evil and committed many heinous acts against the world, what did that matter to her?
Now, she only wanted him to continue living.
That was all.
As her words fell, Empress Yao Guang's body erupted with terrifying imperial might, boundless killing intent raging above the Nine Heavens heavenly court.
The vast imperial might enveloped the sky like a terrifying torrent, making everyone tremble in fear.
The overwhelming pressure, like an ancient behemoth, swallowed the heavens and the earth.
With Empress Yao Guang leading the charge, the human cultivators could no longer hold back.
"For the human race, the catastrophe of those years only involved a small part of the demon tribe's attack. Most of the powerful demons were blocked by the Human Emperor alone outside the Nine Provinces."
"If not for the protection of the Human Emperor, we would have long been annihilated in that catastrophe."
"It is precisely because of the Human Emperor that we have today's human race, yet we have cursed the Human Emperor for ages, even wanting to put him to death."
"But the Human Emperor did not blame us. Even after achieving the position of Emperor, he established the supreme heavenly law to protect the human race for thousands of years."
"The Emperor is great, and we humans are ashamed of the Emperor's protection."
"From today onwards, we humans will spare no cost to save the Emperor, even if it means the extinction of our race!"
In the heavenly court, under the sky, countless humans roared in unison.
Their hearts were filled with endless resolve, shouting loudly.
"Fight for the Emperor, fight for the Human Emperor!"
"Fight!"
Roars that shook the heavens echoed from the mouths of these humans.
Seeing the situation spiraling out of control, Ye Fan felt numb.
His face was dark and filled with frustration.
If it were just the human race, he wouldn't care much. After all, the strength of the human race was not particularly threatening. Their war against the heavens gathered countless powerful beings from all over, and facing the human race, they could easily suppress them.
However, what gave him the biggest headache was Empress Yao Guang.
If he were to suppress Empress Yao Guang, even if the Emperor died, she would hate him for life. If it came to that, not only would he never bring her into his harem, but they would become mortal enemies, meeting only to fight to the death.
Therefore, Ye Fan did not want to take action himself to quell the current chaos.
He cast his gaze towards Nie Fengyun in the distance.
Clearly, he hoped Nie Fengyun would step in and use the Infinite Bell to suppress Yao Guang.
This way, after the Emperor's death, Empress Yao Guang wouldn't hate him as much.
However, Nie Fengyun ignored Ye Fan's gaze.
He too was deep in thought.
So far, the Emperor's personality had not changed from what he had always known. With the truth of the blood massacre revealed, he couldn't help but wonder if his sister's death back then had more to it.
He now only wanted to see that scene involving his sister. If it was as he suspected, not only would he not fight for the so-called alliance against the heavens, but he would also join the Emperor's side to rescue him.
Ye Fan frowned and looked towards Bai Xiaoqi, hoping this demon emperor would intervene and stabilize the situation.
However, Bai Xiaoqi's demeanor was identical to Nie Fengyun's.
"Open!"
Empress Yao Guang shouted as her figure charged towards the Celestial Emperor's realm.
An overwhelming power was gathering around her, transforming into an invisible giant sword that seemed poised to cleave the realm open.
The surrounding laws scattered, creating a terrifying sensation.
Ye Fan was aghast, shouting repeatedly, "No!"
Not only him, but all the surrounding cultivators were also alarmed.
If the Emperor were released now, who could stop him?
Previously, the Emperor's strength had been legendary, not witnessed firsthand.
But having seen his past, the cultivators knew just how terrifyingly powerful he was.
If he broke free, no one could stop his wrath.
Just as everyone was at a loss, a stunning figure appeared in the sky.
She radiated extreme cold, shouting, "Yao Guang, how dare you!"
Terrifying imperial might emanated from her, intercepting Yao Guang.
