Chapter 1446: Thousand Leaves Invitation

Perhaps influenced by the aura of his surroundings, Yun Che felt an exceptional sense of peace in the God Realm of Eternal Heaven.

Restricted by Mu Xuanyin, Yun Che had no freedom to go anywhere. He sat on a stone chair in the courtyard, hands clasped behind his head, appearing exceptionally leisurely and content. From time to time, he would secretly glance towards Mu Xuanyin's room, or peer eastward at the increasingly dazzling red star.

At most, a little over ten days remained until the "within one month" period mentioned by the Ice Phoenix Divine Spirit.

What would happen then...?

It had been more than half a month since he left the Blue Pole Star, and he hoped the profound energy of light he left behind would sustain until his return.

Speaking of profound energy of light... he wondered what Shen Xi was doing and why she had suddenly gone into seclusion. When he left the Forbidden Land of Samsara, it seemed to have greatly disappointed her, and he wondered if she was still angry.

As Yun Che's thoughts wandered, the courtyard gate suddenly swung open with a bang.

Yun Che frowned and glanced over. Two male figures had entered through the courtyard gate. Both were clad in pale gold profound robes. The man on the left was middle-aged with a stern face, while the one on the right appeared much younger, perhaps around twenty years old, with an enigmatic smile and a hint of feminine coldness in his gaze.

As they entered, even without actively releasing their profound energy, the atmosphere of the entire courtyard shifted abruptly.

Both held their heads high, their gazes arrogant and aloof. This was clearly not an affectation, but a natural result of being accustomed to their high status, looking down upon all living beings.

Yun Che frowned slightly. The aura surrounding these two, and their imperious demeanor, which remained unrestrained even within the God Realm of Eternal Heaven, unmistakably indicated their extraordinary status.

The two instantly spotted Yun Che sitting there. The middle-aged man fixed his gaze on him and asked coldly, "You are Yun Che?"

"That's right," Yun Che replied, "and who might you two be?" He inwardly scoffed, *Is there anyone in the God Realm who doesn't know me? What a pointless question.*

The two did not answer Yun Che. The middle-aged man merely snorted and stated coldly, "We are Brahma Heaven God Envoys serving the Brahma Heaven God Emperor. By the God Emperor's direct command, we are here to invite you to purify His Majesty's devilish aura!"

The mere mention of "Brahma Heaven God Envoys" was enough to make any profound practitioner below a God Lord in any realm blanch and tremble with awe.

In the Brahma Heaven God Realm, the hierarchy is as follows: beneath the God Emperor are the Three Brahma Gods, then the Brahma Kings, followed by the Elders, and finally, the God Envoys.

Their status is equivalent to that of the Star Guardians in the Star God Realm and the Moon Guardians in the Moon God Realm.

Each of them possessed power and status equivalent to a Middle Realm King. Moreover, as members of the Brahma Heaven God Realm, they truly had the authority to look down upon everyone in the Eastern Divine Region; even Upper Star Realms would never dare to offend them.

"Oh," Yun Che said, rising to his feet. He showed no surprise, thinking, *They've come indeed,* and much earlier than he had anticipated.

Less than two hours had passed since he entered the God Realm of Eternal Heaven. It seemed the Brahma Heaven God Emperor was suffering terribly, even to the point of abandoning his imperial dignity.

"Allow me to greet my master first, and then I will accompany you both," Yun Che said, neither humble nor arrogant.

"No need!" the young God Envoy interjected, his arm raised and his face darkening. "Come with us immediately!"

"Hah, your master? What is that?" the middle-aged God Envoy scoffed, his gaze full of disdain. "This is a direct order from the God Emperor; how dare you delay! Come now."

Yun Che's eyes narrowed. His body, which had just risen, slowly settled back down. He leaned sideways, clasped his hands behind his head, and leisurely closed his eyes.

His actions caused both Brahma Heaven God Envoys to narrow their eyes simultaneously. "Yun Che, what is the meaning of this?"

"What do I mean? Is your intelligence too low to comprehend?" Yun Che said unhurriedly. "Of course... I'm not going!"

"You!" Both men exploded in anger simultaneously, then just as quickly broke into laughter, their gazes filled with deep mockery and pity. "We've long heard you're quite bold, and it seems the rumors are true."

"No, no," the young God Envoy chuckled, "this isn't boldness; it's stupidity. Stupidity so profound it's almost laughable."

"Hmph!" the middle-aged God Envoy sneered. "Winning first place in the Conferred God Battle and earning the appreciation of two God Emperors, do you really think you're someone important? Hah, what are you, exactly? Do you even know the consequences of daring to defy a God Emperor's command?"

"I don't know," Yun Che replied unhurriedly, completely unfazed by the pressure and contempt of the two Brahma Heaven God Envoys. "But I can probably guess the consequences for you two. Will the Brahma Heaven God Emperor break your arms, or your legs, or simply crush you both to death?"

Both men's eyes narrowed, then they burst into laughter simultaneously. The young God Envoy said with a smile, "Yun Che, you've certainly told a good joke; even I, this God Envoy, am amused. So, this is the number one Conferred God of the younger generation. Tsk, tsk, tsk, it seems that below the King Realms, things are truly deteriorating."

The middle-aged God Envoy snorted coldly, "Hmph, foolish boy, do you even know who we are?"

"I know, I know, noble Brahma Heaven God Envoys, of course," Yun Che said with a wide smile. "Oh, by the way, noble Brahma Heaven God Envoys, allow me to remind you of something: your God Emperor probably asked you to 'invite' me, didn't he? Do you know what 'invite' means? Do you even know how to write the word 'invite'?"

Both Brahma Heaven God Envoys' faces stiffened at once.

"Since you are God Envoys serving the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, you should know how excruciating his devilish aura is when it flares up; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it's worse than death. Otherwise, the dignified Brahma Heaven God Emperor wouldn't have been so impatient as to send you to invite me the moment I arrived in the God Realm of Eternal Heaven... listen carefully, I said 'invite'!"

"Furthermore, throughout all the realms, only Senior Shen Xi of the Western Divine Region and I can purify his devilish aura. Since Senior Shen Xi is in seclusion, that leaves only me. In other words, I am currently your God Emperor's sole savior."

Both Brahma Heaven God Envoys' expressions shifted again.

"Originally, I would have had no reason to refuse the Brahma Heaven God Emperor's invitation. But now, considering the respect you two noble Brahma Heaven God Envoys have shown me, even if the Brahma Heaven God Emperor himself came, I wouldn't go!"

With a cold scoff, he turned his face away, refusing to look at them any further.

All arrogance and mockery vanished from the faces of the two Brahma Heaven God Envoys. Their expressions shifted repeatedly, gradually transforming into profound alarm.

As direct God Envoys of Qianye Fantian, they naturally knew the agony Qianye Fantian endured when his devilish aura flared. And when Qianye Fantian had dispatched them, he had indeed instructed them to "invite" Yun Che.

However, as high-ranking Brahma Heaven God Envoys who disregarded even Realm Kings, for them to go and invite a junior from the lower realms felt like a complete condescension, an immense honor for Yun Che. How could they possibly use the word "invite" for a mere junior from the lower realms?

Furthermore, they would never have imagined that he would dare to refuse a summons from the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, the foremost God Emperor of the Eastern Divine Region!

Yet Yun Che had indeed refused just like that. Recalling his words, and contemplating the reasons and potential consequences of failing to "invite" Yun Che... the two finally grasped the gravity of the situation. They exchanged glances, their eyes completely transformed.

"No... no need to waste words with him!" The young God Envoy was visibly flustered. "Just knock him out and take him back!"

"A splendid idea!" Yun Che clapped his hands, applauding. "Once I'm dragged before the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, I will recount, in full detail, exactly how you 'invited' me. As for whether I purify his devilish aura, that will entirely depend on how he chooses to deal with the two of you."

"Hmm... for the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, crushing two idiotic God Envoys to death should be no great matter compared to his own safety, would it?"

Yun Che's casual remark sent a shiver down both God Envoys' spines, instantly turning their faces pale with terror and making them break out in a cold sweat.

"Seventh Brother, this..." The young God Envoy looked up at the middle-aged God Envoy, clearly in a state of panic.

The middle-aged God Envoy took a step forward, completely devoid of his previous arrogance. Instead, he cupped his hands and offered an apologetic smile. "We were quite disrespectful just now. We humbly ask Young Master Yun for your forgiveness; we sincerely apologize."

"Oh?" Yun Che turned his head, a faint, unreadable smile on his lips. "So, now you understand what 'invite' means?"

"Yes, yes, yes," the middle-aged God Envoy said, secretly gritting his teeth while maintaining his apologetic smile. "We still humbly ask Young Master Yun to accompany us to see the God Emperor. We would be eternally grateful."

"Hmph, it's good that you understand, but unfortunately... it's too late. Disdaining me is one thing, but you dared to insult my master!" Yun Che's eyes darkened. He pointed outside the courtyard and coldly uttered a single word: "Scram!"

The single word "scram" caused both Brahma Heaven God Envoys' faces to change abruptly. Given their standing in the Eastern Divine Region, who below the King Realms would dare utter such a word to them? The young God Envoy instantly flew into a rage and roared, "Yun Che! Don't push your l—"

"Shut up!" As soon as the young God Envoy spoke, he was sharply cut off by the middle-aged God Envoy. The latter quickly bowed and said, "This child is ignorant and ill-mannered, with no discernment. Young Master Yun, with your magnanimity, there's no need to pay him any mind."

After speaking, he turned his gaze and snapped fiercely, "Hurry up and apologize! Otherwise, before the God Emperor even needs to act, I'll cripple you myself!"

Seeing the middle-aged God Envoy's terrifying expression, the young God Envoy's face turned ashen, and his limbs twitched. But at the mere thought of the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, a chill ran through him. He lowered his head and stammered, "I... I spoke ignorantly... and rashly. I apologize to Young Master Yun."

"You just called me an idiot," Yun Che said slowly. "Now tell me again, who is the idiot?"

The young God Envoy's lips trembled, and he spoke with difficulty, "I... I am... the idiot..."

"Very good, it's rare that you've finally learned to be a bit smarter," Yun Che said, nodding approvingly. He then turned his gaze to the middle-aged God Envoy. "What about your insult to my master?"

The middle-aged God Envoy immediately bowed his head and said, "It was I who was blind and offended your esteemed master. I offer my deepest apologies here to Young Master Yun and your esteemed master... If Young Master Yun is still displeased, feel free to punish me as you see fit."

With that, he delivered a forceful slap to his own face. As the loud sound echoed, his forehead bone visibly swelled, and his face turned crimson.

Yun Che frowned slightly. He knew these two would back down, but he hadn't expected them to be quite so subservient.

It seemed the Brahma Heaven God Emperor, who appeared mild-mannered and indifferent to all, was undeniably a far more terrifying figure than outsiders perceived.

Yun Che finally stood up and said indifferently, "This attitude is more appropriate. Hmph, since it's the Brahma Heaven God Emperor's command, I suppose it's fine for me to go. However, I need to greet my master first. That won't be a problem this time, will it?"

The middle-aged God Envoy looked as if he had received a great pardon and quickly said, "Of course, of course. We will wait right here. Just let us know whenever Young Master Yun is ready to depart."

Yun Che no longer spared them a glance. He walked up to Mu Xuanyin's room, and just as he was about to speak, the door opened. Mu Xuanyin emerged, saying coldly, "Let's go."

"Huh? Master, you're coming with me?" Yun Che asked, though he wasn't overly surprised.

"No need," a gentle female voice interjected. Xia Qingyue descended from the sky, her purple robes fluttering, appearing like a celestial being. "Senior Mu, I will accompany him. I was also planning to pay a visit to Qianye Fantian."

"Qing..." Yun Che began, but upon meeting Xia Qingyue's clear, unruffled gaze, his voice involuntarily softened. "Moon God Emperor."

Mu Xuanyin frowned slightly. After a brief consideration, she slowly nodded, "Very well."
