Chapter 1508: Salvation's Name

Jie Yuan's gaze was fixed eastward, not looking at anyone present. She said coldly, "You should all know the purpose of my arrival today!"

Her emotionless words caused everyone's breathing and heartbeats to come to a standstill.

"Hmph!" Jie Yuan let out a cold snort. "Originally, my kin were to return from the Outer Chaos within a month. At that time, what would happen to them, or to you, would be of no concern to me. But now, I have changed my mind."

"My kin will no longer enter the Primal Chaos Dimension. Six days from now, I will return to whence I came! You no longer need to live in constant dread."

Having said this, Jie Yuan turned coolly, as if preparing to leave.

Although they had already received the news, hearing Jie Yuan say it herself at this moment, the excitement in their hearts was so intense it felt as if their chests would burst.

From the day Jie Yuan returned to the world, what was originally the supreme authority of the Primal Chaos had a towering mountain looming over them, forcing them to submit and beg for survival. After learning that nearly a hundred more resentful Devil Gods were about to return, they indeed, as Jie Yuan had said, lived in constant dread.

However, with Jie Yuan's own words, these impending disasters were now eliminated in an almost dreamlike manner...

How could they not be ecstatic?

Even the various God Emperors felt a sense of profound relief and gratitude at this moment.

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor raised his head at this moment, stepped forward, and said in an extremely excited voice, "Devil Emperor Senior, to protect all beings in this world, you have willingly sacrificed yourself. This compassion for the world, this virtue of saving it, this grace of sparing our lives—we dare not ever forget it, for all eternity. We are but humble beings, with nothing to repay you... Please accept this old man's bow!"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor bowed deeply. Following him, the entire assembly, as if awakened from a dream, bowed low as well, and cries of gratitude resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Compassion for the world? Virtue of saving it?" Jie Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint, sardonic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, as if she had heard a joke. "What a group of naive and foolish mortals. Do you truly believe I did this for *you*?"

"Hah, do you, or this utterly insignificant world, even deserve such consideration from me?"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's expression froze, and everyone else was stunned.

"You should indeed thank someone, but it is not me!" Jie Yuan said coldly. "All I brought was countless deaths and disasters. Where is there any grace or virtue in that? Are your lives and deaths, or the safety of this world, even worthy of my concern!?"

"The reason I chose to depart is because one person made up for my lifelong regret and fulfilled my final wish! As the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, how could I be willing to owe a mortal? My abandoning my kin and returning to the Outer Chaos this time is merely a promise and repayment to *him* alone, and it has nothing to do with any of the rest of you!!"

"That person is Yun Che!"

Glimpses of shock, trembling, and disbelief were cast upon Yun Che.

"You had best remember this forever, and never forget this name! When you live freely and enjoy yourselves in this world, and flaunt your power in the future, do not forget who saved you and this Primal Chaos Dimension from the brink of darkness!"

Before her words had even faded, Jie Yuan's body transformed into a black light, vanishing from everyone's sight and perception.

The terrifying pressure, more dreadful than the collapse of the heavens, also vanished without a trace at that moment. Everyone felt as if countless mountains had been lifted from them; they were almost weakened by the sudden relaxation, but then all displayed expressions of ecstasy... Though the calamity had not truly erupted, the feeling of rebirth after the ordeal was a thousand times more intense than anything they had ever experienced in their lives.

"It's actually true... It's actually true!" The Qilin Emperor of the Western Region looked up at the sky. As one of the Five Emperors of the Western Region, he was almost moved to tears at this moment.

"All of this was granted by Yun Che," the Azure Dragon Emperor, beside him, said with a sigh as he looked at Yun Che. "The title 'Divine Son of Salvation'... is truly well-deserved!"

"This time, regardless of status or seniority, we all owe him immense gratitude," said the Qilin Emperor.

The Azure Dragon Emperor nodded and asked Long Bai, "Dragon Monarch, what are your thoughts?"

"You may go," the Dragon Monarch said, his expression unreadable.

Meanwhile, Yun Che was now surrounded by a crowd, every single person among them being a top-tier God Master of the current era.

During the period immediately after Jie Yuan's return, they had also behaved similarly, pinning all their hopes on Yun Che. Even if Yun Che could, through the Evil God's divine power he inherited, cause even a slight interference with the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor's will, it would have been a great salvation for the current world.

Unexpectedly, the first time, Yun Che brought back news that the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor promised not to harm the world.

The second time, the news he brought back was that she intended to leave the Primal Chaos and remain outside it forever with her kin!

The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor herself stated that today's outcome was entirely due to Yun Che!

"Divine Son Yun, please accept this old man's bow!" The Eternal Heaven God Emperor bowed, his body almost bending at a right angle, despite being the most prestigious God Emperor of the Eastern Region and doing so in front of everyone. Behind him, his children, grandchildren, and all guardians also bowed deeply.

Yun Che said, "Senior, there's no need for this. As a person of this age, everything I did was also for my own sake. Besides, I didn't actually do much; the primary factor in all of this was Senior Devil Emperor's will."

"No," the Eternal Heaven God Emperor shook his head and said with immense solemnity, "Divine Son Yun, without you, after those Devil Gods returned, the entire God Realm, the entire Primal Chaos, would surely have plunged into endless calamity. You saved all beings in this world; you deserve any profound bow, any gratitude, and any praise. Every living being in this world, and even future generations, should forever remember your name!"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor spoke with great emotion, and the surrounding God Masters, who had gathered around, all nodded in deep agreement. Like the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, they bowed deeply to Yun Che, unwilling to spare any words of praise...

The Divine Son of Salvation... From this day forward, this would no longer be just a title imbued with hope, but a divine name that would accompany Yun Che throughout his life and be deeply etched into the memories of all in the God Realm.

Yun Che's gaze passed through the crowd, and he saw Xia Qingyue. Her eyes met his, and she offered him a faint smile.

After reuniting with Xia Qingyue in the God Realm, this was the most beautiful smile Yun Che had ever seen on her. It permeated his soul like a gentle mist, causing the corners of his mouth to involuntarily curve into a soft arc.

An hour later, the crowd dispersed, but no one left the Eternal Heaven God Realm.

They all knew that in just a few days, the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor would depart through the spatial passage on the Eastern Chaos Wall, simultaneously destroying the passage completely, thus permanently eliminating this calamity that had not yet truly erupted. Having come from afar, they naturally wanted to stay and witness that moment.

It was a moment when the fate of Primal Chaos would be completely altered, for such a scenario would never occur a second time.

Yun Che did not leave with the others but instead sought out the Eternal Heaven God Emperor alone.

"Senior, I have something I wish to discuss with you."

At this moment, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor's attitude towards Yun Che had again undergone a massive change. He no longer viewed Yun Che as a junior far beneath him, but truly as the Lord of Salvation, a divine child bestowed by heaven. He smiled gently and said, "Divine Son Yun, there's no need for such formalities. Feel free to give any command you wish."

The word he used was, strikingly, "command."

Yun Che quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare 'command'. This matter will surely cause you difficulty, so please don't refuse immediately. Please give me some time to explain."

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's face was still full of smiles. "Heh heh, you have the right to make any request. Please speak freely. If it can be done, this old man will certainly exert all his strength."

"It's about the Evil Infant."

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's expression stiffened slightly, but he said nothing, instead looking at Yun Che, waiting for him to continue.

"Senior, with your wisdom, you must have long guessed the source of the Evil God's divine power within me." Yun Che looked at the Eternal Heaven God Emperor, his gaze calm and sincere.

After a brief silence, the Eternal Heaven God Emperor sighed softly. "As expected, it is from the Evil Infant..."

Back then, the news that the Heaven Smiting Star God had obtained the Evil God's inheritance in the Southern Divine Region spread like wildfire. Although most people thought it wasn't true, few were unaware of it.

Yun Che's many unusual characteristics... what the Eternal Heaven God Emperor personally witnessed when Yun Che single-handedly rushed into the Star God Realm three years ago... and later, everyone knew Yun Che inherited the Evil God's divine power. Now, he so solemnly mentioned her...

How could the Eternal Heaven God Emperor not put things together?

"Yes!" Yun Che nodded. He would not deny or reject others referring to Jasmine as the "Evil Infant"; he accepted everything about Jasmine, accepting that Jasmine was the Evil Infant, and the Evil Infant was Jasmine. "In the years when news of her death spread over a decade ago, she was with me. The rumor of her obtaining the Evil God's inheritance in the Southern Divine Region is true. After she met me, for some special reasons, she used it on me."

"Without her, I wouldn't be where I am today, and this situation wouldn't exist." Yun Che said with immense seriousness. "In other words, at its root, *she* is the true savior!"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's expression shifted slightly, revealing a difficult look, and he sighed, "But, as she is now, she is no longer the Heaven Smiting Star God. Instead, she has been afflicted by the Heaven Wasting Miasma, becoming the most terrifying and wicked Evil Infant."

"Senior, you are mistaken. All of you have always been mistaken. She... was never afflicted by the Heaven Wasting Miasma!"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's brows twitched violently. "What do you mean by that?"

"The Heaven Wasting Miasma has been on her for a very long time," Yun Che slowly explained. "However, she was not forcibly taken as a vessel by the Heaven Wasting Miasma. Instead, the Heaven Wasting Miasma willingly acknowledged her as its master! She is the Evil Infant, but not the Evil Infant you believe her to be. More accurately, she is the *Master* of the Evil Infant; her will is the primary will!"

"This..." The Eternal Heaven God Emperor frowned deeply. Although these were Yun Che's own words, he truly could not believe them. "It's not that this old man doesn't believe your words. It's just that the power of the Heaven Wasting Miasma is so immense that even rare mentions of it in records can send shivers down one's spine. In terms of tier, it might even surpass Creation Gods and Devil Emperors."

"How could such a terrifying entity, which no Creation God or Devil Emperor could control, possibly take a mere mortal of this era as its master?"

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor's words were entirely correct. It was natural for him, and everyone else, to think this way.

Yun Che said, "Senior is right. The power and will of an existence at the level of the Heaven Wasting Miasma are simply beyond our comprehension and conjecture. It's perfectly normal for you to find it hard to believe, just as you, Senior, surely never expected Senior Devil Emperor to ultimately choose to abandon herself and her entire race to preserve the current world."

The Eternal Heaven God Emperor was momentarily speechless.
