"With the deaths of Cai Banjian and several elders of the Blazing Sun Sect, the rebellion was completely eliminated, and the Divine Alliance once again returned to calm."
"Uh... to be precise, it was not exactly calm."
"The fierce battle had nearly smashed the Divine Alliance to pieces."
"It was still in the middle of repairs."
"However, the fact that Zhu Xincheng was able to reclaim the position of Lord of the Divine Alliance was undoubtedly a very good thing."
"At least, that was how Little Cui saw it."
"Of course, none of this could have happened without Ye Yu."
"If he had not also come to the Blazing Sun Sect, and Zhu Xincheng had been forced to face Cai Banjian together with several rebellious elders alone, then how the situation would have ended would truly be difficult to say."
"Because of that, Little Cui kept urging Zhu Xincheng to properly express her gratitude."
"The latter felt the same."
"So after briefly calming the Divine Clan of the Blazing Sun Sect, she went straight to the side hall to look for Ye Yu."
"This was also one of the few buildings in the entire Divine Alliance that had survived."
"At this moment, Ye Yu was patiently studying the Eight Kings Blood Jade, trying to figure out how to store vitality and blood energy inside it."
"It had to be said, the little thing did not look large, but holding it with one hand was somewhat inconvenient."
"Hmm? Why not use both hands?"
"The reason was simple."
"The power of Zhu Xincheng's Divine Flame was truly no joke."
"Although Ye Yu had only acted for an instant to seize the Eight Kings Blood Jade, his right hand had still been scorched."
"It had been burned pitch black."
"Fortunately, Ye Yu's physique was strong, and his bones had not been damaged. It was only superficial injuries."
"He was currently applying divine herbs to the wound."
"According to Little Cui, it would heal completely within half an hour, but during that time it was best not to move it."
"So Ye Yu could only operate with one hand."
"Hm? There seems to be a crack on this thing."
"Does that mean it is already damaged?"
"Ye Yu raised the Eight Kings Blood Jade and held it up toward the sunlight."
"The crack was indeed there."
"And there was more than one."
"This thing had already become a battle-damaged version."
"Was it caused by the Divine Flame?"
"Ye Yu immediately felt a pang of heartache. Such a life-saving divine artifact—if it had really been ruined like this, it would be an outrageous waste."
"If the Eight Kings Blood Jade had been intact, it would have been equivalent to having a second life."
"And with that kind of margin for error, Ye Yu would definitely try to charge toward the Divine Venerable Realm."
"But now it was too late to say anything."
"After all, in this dream world, Elder Ge was no longer here."
"This meant there was not even a chance to repair it."
"Ye Yu frowned tightly and could not help letting out a long sigh."
"What is the bitterest thing in the world?"
"Having a cheat but being unable to use it."
"At that moment, Zhu Xincheng walked over and softly asked, "What are you looking at?""
"The Eight Kings Blood Jade."
"Ye Yu had no intention of hiding it and casually tossed the item onto the table."
"Zhu Xincheng had clearly heard of this divine artifact's great reputation."
"Her eyes immediately lit up as she picked it up and examined it."
"Very quickly, she noticed the cracks."
"So she asked curiously, "What happened to it?""
"Ye Yu sighed again."
""Maybe it could not withstand the burning of the Divine Flame. If I had known, I should have reminded you to use a gentler method to kill Cai Banjian.""
"Zhu Xincheng shook her head repeatedly."
""No, I do not think that should be the case. The Eight Kings Blood Jade is a high-grade divine artifact. Its material is incomparably sturdy. Even if the Divine Flame burned for a full day and night, it might not be able to crack it.""
""It was probably damaged beforehand. Otherwise it definitely would not be like this.""
"Hearing this, Ye Yu thought about it again."
"That did make sense."
"The Eight Kings Blood Jade had existed for a very long time."
"No one could guarantee that it had never been damaged during those countless years."
"Perhaps it had already reached the end of its lifespan."
"Being able to save Cai Banjian one more time might already have been its final performance."
"That was not impossible."
"Besides, things had already reached this point."
"The reason for its damage was no longer important."
"What mattered was that this item simply had no fate with him."
"If he truly wanted it, he could simply find Cai Banjian again in the real world and kill him."
"At that time, Elder Ge might still be alive."
"After repairing it, it would be as good as new."
"Would that not be wonderful?"
"After thinking it through, Ye Yu suddenly felt much more relieved."
"He then looked at Zhu Xincheng again and softly asked, "You are right. By the way, has the Divine Alliance been settled?""
"More or less."
"Zhu Xincheng nodded."
"Then her voice paused slightly before she continued."
""This time it was thanks to you. Otherwise, with only my strength, I might not have been able to reclaim the Blazing Sun Sect.""
""And earlier, you also saved my life.""
""So I owe you two favors.""
""To express my gratitude, I can promise you one request.""
""Anything.""
"After saying those final words, Zhu Xincheng deliberately turned to look out the window, pretending to be calm."
"Such an obvious hint should already be enough."
"Since Ye Yu liked her, he should certainly know what kind of choice to make."
"Say it."
"As long as you say it, everything you see will belong to you."
"The Blazing Sun Sect."
"Or even me."
"Ye Yu asked, "Truly anything?""
""Of course. If I say it, I will honor it.""
"Zhu Xincheng's tone was extremely firm."
"But inside her sleeves, her fists were already clenched tightly."
""In that case," Ye Yu said, "I want to know what Cai Banjian's final words meant before he died.""
""What secret is hidden inside the divine mine?""
""And why did he say we would eventually die because of greed?""
"Ye Yu immediately voiced the question that had been on his mind."
"Originally he had not paid much attention to it."
"But after Cai Banjian's reminder before his death, he had begun to feel that something was not quite right."
"Yes, the divine mine was indeed extremely rare."
"But it should not be worth guarding with one's life."
"First the Extreme Moon Pavilion."
"Later the various struggles of the Divine Alliance."
"And the coveting eyes of many ambitious people."
"It could be said that Zhu Xincheng had suffered countless injuries in order to guard this divine mine."
"Many members of the Divine Clan within the Divine Alliance had also died."
"In such a situation, why not simply hire people and accelerate the mining of the divine mine?"
"Would that not solve everything?"
"Why pay such a huge price to keep guarding it?"
"Divine stones were certainly valuable."
"But that was only for low-realm members of the Divine Clan."
"You, Zhu Xincheng, are already a Divine Monarch Realm expert."
"If you advance one step further, you will reach the Divine Venerable Realm."
"In that case, what value could a mere divine stone really have?"
"But if there was truly a secret hidden within the divine stone mine..."
"That would be a different matter entirely."
"Ye Yu really wanted to know."
"What exactly was the secret inside?"
"Zhu Xincheng suddenly turned around."
"In a deep voice, she asked, "Are you certain that is the only thing you want to know?""
