Otherworldly Evil Monarch Novel

Jun Mo Xie spoke coldly. “Gu Han, Old Senior Gu. I wish to ask of you to remember, you must remember that from this moment on, I do not wish to hear anyone mentioning ‘I want to die’! If anyone does, I will instantly satisfy his wish! There is no need for him to go and play self-detonating with the strange races. I can instantly fulfill his wish! Let him die without any pain—it will definitely be better than self-detonation. At least, he’ll have an intact corpse!”

Jun Mo Xie slowly turned around with his back facing Gu Han. “Perhaps you have not realized how demoralizing a sentence like this is to the spirits of an army. Or perhaps you even think that it is very stirring and moving, or can even make others shed tears! But to me, those who say words like these at a time like this is unforgivable! They cannot be redeemed even if they’re hacked to pieces and won’t be pardoned even if they pay with their lives for eternity!

“Dying after being cuckolded is merely an individual’s death! But all of you dying like this will indirectly cause the death of countless of my brothers! Haha, so many Saint Monarchs and Saint Venerables killing themselves out of despair, what use do we, who are weaker, have? Is there any meaning in resisting? Take a guess, will there be anyone who thinks this way? And how many people will think this way?!”

Jun Mo Xie continued mockingly. “Don’t think that I was insulting or blaspheming your spirits with my words earlier. But it is a fact that all of you recklessly self-detonating are really worse than those cuckolded men. The way I see it, at least those who have died after staking their lives still have some spirit. While all of you don’t even have the slightest bit! The ten thousand years honor, the final glory, at the same time you protect it with your lives, you treat it as a dog’s fart in your own hearts!!”

Jun Mo Xie slowly took two steps and raised his hand, gently knocking against the walls of this space that was frozen. “Old Gu, you don’t wish for me to forcefully exit from your spatial lock, do you?”

“Please wait! I still have one more matter to entrust to Manor Lord Jun!” When Gu Han turned around, Jun Mo Xie practically got a shock! Gu Han’s hair had turned completely white in this short span of time!

The first time they met, Gu Han still had dark, black hair and looked no different from any middle-aged man. The second meeting at the Pillar of Heavens Mountains, Gu Han who had suffered some injuries had some white hair and wrinkles in his face began to appear, and seemed to have aged considerably.

And in just these couple of days, Gu Han’s hair had turned completely white!

In these mere couple of days, the blows that this Saint Monarch suffered were truly too great!

First, it was the sudden destruction of the Heaven Saint Palace that he had protected for two entire lives. Then, the Pillar of Heavens Mountains had also collapsed, which was the equivalent of his belief being sucked out of him!

He practically turned into an empty shell!

And that was not all. His Xuan cultivation, what he had been most proud of his entire life, also suddenly dropped just when he was about to break through! Drastically!

If it was only this, he may still be able to take it!

But after that, he found out that the ten thousand years of protection from the Holy Lands, the War for Seizing the Heavens that he had been forking out five thousand years for, was a huge mistake! This had completely crushed his mind!

His only goal became death, and only death! To perish with the strange races!

But now, he was told that dying like this was trying to escape and was the act of the most shameful coward! Worse than those men who were cuckolded!

Gu Han completely broke down! Utterly and thoroughly!

His profound Xuan skills instantly gave way at this instant. The appearance that he had maintained for thousands of years completely withered in this instant!

But Jun Mo Xie still felt that there should be some other reason!

Be it Gu Han, or the legend, Wu Shan Yun of the past, he shouldn’t be this fragile.

“Lastly, I would like to ask of a personal matter of you.” Gu Han remained silent for a long while, until Jun Mo Xie was getting a little impatient, he slowly turned around with a glint of tears in his eyes. “Please… you must… take good care of Qiao Ying!”

Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but turned silent.

“Qiao Ying is a pitiful girl. The All Seeing Eye brought her accomplishments, but it is also because of the All Seeing Eye that she was brought into the Heaven Saint Palace since young and spent thousands of years alone! Although a long time has passed, her heart and mind are still young. The happiness that women should have, a husband and having children… she doesn’t have any! Not a single one! For the Holy Lands, for the War for Seizing the Heavens, she has given everything! Right now, I entrust her to you.” Gu Han looked at Jun Mo Xie with a pleading look in his eyes.

“I hope that you can take good care of her. If it is possible… if she survives after this war, I hope that she will be able to find somewhere she belongs, find… her own happiness… the happiness that she deserves as a woman!”

Jun Mo Xie continued to remain silent.

Because he could tell that Gu Han was not done speaking. He should still have other matters to entrust.

But Gu Han stopped, looking listless and sorrowful.

“I am very curious, the matter of Qiao Ying having the Eye of Yin-Yang, there shouldn’t be anyone who knows other than her close ones. Perhaps, even her close ones may not understand what it is that she has.

“Something like this is not a rare thing. There are often stories of children from various families who can see bizarre things… with time, this sort of natural gift will gradually fade away and they become just as ordinary as anyone else!”

Jun Mo Xie coughed before asking. “Why is it that only Qiao Ying was discovered by you? Is it really just a coincidence?”

Gu Han’s body jerked, but he did not say a single word for a long time, only staring at the air as his lifeless eyes turned red. He finally shut his eyes and said, “Because Qiao Ying’s father is not any ordinary man… she, she… she’s my daughter!”

Although Jun Mo Xie guessed something, he was still shocked by this statement!

Jun Mo Xie had noticed something amiss from Gu Han’s affection towards Qiao Ying, and that reluctance earlier. And that look of relief that Gu Han displayed when Qiao Ying went over to Tian Fa’s army.

But he had never imagined that Qiao Ying was Gu Han’s daughter!

Because the disparity in their ages was truly too great!

“An emotional attachment has always been the hardest aspect to break away from since ancient times. In my previous life in the Heaven Saint Palace, my beloved wife had already passed away two hundred years ago.” Gu Han said bitterly. “For a period of time, I missed her day and night, and often dreamed and stood at the summit alone to reminisce the former days.

“But I discovered then that it was my devoted stubbornness to those days that caused my skills to improve greatly! I passed through all those stages easily. Because at that point in time, aside from my deceased wife, there was nothing else on my mind! My mind was clear and my cultivation improved exponentially. Due to love, feelings…”

Jun Mo Xie gently sighed, practically guessing what he was about to say next.

“After another thousand years, my heart, mind and skill have already became still. For a long time, there were no signs of a breakthrough. I didn’t know what to do at first, believing that effort would lead to progress. Another few hundred years passed, but it still remained the same. Then I remembered that I was able to breakthrough because of my deceased wife. But my wife had already passed for a thousand and five hundred years—even if I forcefully tried to remember, all the memories were a blur… and… I no longer felt the tiniest bit of sadness… ” Gu Han lamented.

“And so you thought as opposed to staying like this, might as well go back to the mortal world to find another love again?” Jun Mo Xie sighed, not knowing whether to reprimand him or not.

This sort of situation was not uncommon. Some people use the power of their vengeance to breakthrough, some use women for double cultivating to breakthrough, and some massacre their way to a breakthrough. But one thing was for sure. No matter what you use as an aid, the moment you rely on an external force, you will definitely not be able to truly reach the peak! Especially when you were doing it this intentionally!

Gu Han clearly planned to draw support from the passing of emotions to aid his breakthrough.

This was not that unusual a method!

“That was exactly the case!” Gu Han nodded his head. “Back then, I had cultivated for two lives, had been living a thousand and seven hundred years as Gu Han. By maintaining my appearance, I looked like those in their thirties. With a disguise, I looked completely different from my original self. After I left the mountains, it did not take long for me to find a suitable candidate.”

Gu Han sucked in a breath sorrowfully. “I only wanted to seek that feeling of being heartbroken, so I found a maiden who was unable to cultivate Xuan Qi. I still remember, she was called Qiao Qing Yi. She was an extremely good lady, but was born with a frail body…

“I… I… Since I wanted to love her wholeheartedly and put in all my feelings… but must watch her perish… This sort of feeling is truly…

“Numerous years later, she bore me a daughter, and her health deteriorated. She finally passed away two years later from being unable to recover from a grave disease…”

Gu Han’s voice trembled. “Before she passed, she grabbed onto my hand and said, ‘No matter what, you must take good care of our daughter…’ Then, she said one final sentence before closing her eyes forever! But even now, that sentence of hers… guilt tears away at my heart just from remembering it…

“She said, I know you are a capable person… I do not blame you. To be able to spend these few years and be your wife, I am content, I’m really content, and that is enough for this life…” Gu Han sobbed as tears spilled from his eyes!

Jun Mo Xie let out a deep sigh. Yet another wise maiden.

It was a pity, since ancient times, most beauties led a rough life.

This Gu Han is really ruthless. But although he created what he suffered, he was truly pitiful!

He may have obtained that heartbreaking devastation he needed for a breakthrough, but he wouldn’t be able to walk out of it for his entire life…
