Chapter 737: Never Let Go

Tiankai had no objection to the title of Emperor of Tomorrow. Having already passed the Supreme trial, it would be difficult for someone like Qing Liu Sheng to suffer failure from calamities. The future could be said to be destined for him to become a Monarch.

Tiankai sat upright, her playful demeanor fading away as she appeared nervous in front of the Dream Princess, as if facing a parent.

"Xiaoxiao, if you want to become a True Immortal, how can you be so unsettled? You hardly seem like a Celestial Fox challenging the human race head-on," the Dream Princess said.

The Dream Princess was beautiful, stunning enough to make the heavens pale in comparison, representing the ultimate concept of beauty.

Her voice soothed the restlessness and anxiety within Tiankai.

"Yes!"

Tiankai had no doubts and immediately began to change. Her body relaxed a bit, and she ceased to show her emotions.

There were too many matters to deal with today, which had led to her losing her composure. As the representative of the Celestial Fox clan, she at least had to appear calm on the surface.

"Dream Princess, you should understand my purpose for coming here. Now that the Supreme has already subdued most, three of the five celestial clans have been eliminated, and the other two have submitted to the Celestial Empire. It can be said that the human race has eradicated most of its hidden dangers and established the foundation for Walking Law."

Yun Ye was not influenced by the ancient being’s appearance, getting straight to the point.

"The Celestial Fox clan will adhere to the agreement to join the Celestial Empire, and Tiankai will forge a contract with you to become your True Spirit."

The Dream Princess paused. "As for the other demon tribes, I cannot impose restrictions. I have lost my power as the Monster King and have no weight. Whether you wish to completely annihilate the demons or give them a chance to live, I have no objections."

"It seems that the presence of you in the Celestial Fox clan is a stroke of luck for them. Since that’s the case, we can move into the final phase of the agreement. I will inscribe new rules for the Dao Artifact, cleansing the entire Red Heaven realm. Only the demons willing to join the Celestial Empire will be allowed to survive," Yun Ye spoke lightly.

"Ten thousand years ago, I already knew that the human race would reach this day, but it has truly come swiftly. It seems I am still standing on the side of the victors…" The Dream Princess slightly shook her head.

Tiankai remained silent.

As the only Monster King to seek an agreement with the Divine Monarch, the Dream Princess’s foresight exceeded understanding and was now being confirmed.

"Your goal is not just to become a True Immortal or a God. It seems you are more concerned with the future of the various clans?" Yun Ye suddenly remarked.

The ancient cultivators he had encountered were generally pursuing longevity and strength, but he had scarcely explored the demons’ motivations.

What was the significance of these Supremes, Monster Kings, and unbeatable elders? Was their only purpose to become True Immortals or Gods?

"Perhaps it’s due to my past experiences. I don’t harbor much obsession with becoming a True Immortal or a God. How about it? Do you want to hear a story?" The Dream Princess gazed at the brilliant sun in the sky, revealing a hint of a smile.

"There’s certainly time to hear a story, but is this your true nature?" Yun Ye expressed surprise.

The personality of this Monster King seemed to have changed completely; she used to exhibit no emotional fluctuations and was a cold beauty.

Now, however, she resembled a kind old woman, with countless stories to tell, never exhausting her tales.

"There’s no need for surprise. The incarnation of the Nine Star Celestial Maiden actually split off my emotions; this is a dream cultivation method, not a conventional form of reincarnation.

"Moreover, this form is what humans consider the perfect appearance, not my true self. After a long period of slumber, I could not express my feelings. Now, I have not slept for ten thousand years, and the dream method has been lifted, so I am naturally beginning to restore."

The Dream Princess smiled, and two fluffy white tails appeared behind her. One tail dropped onto Tiankai’s head, while the other nudged Yun Ye’s face, soft and smooth. Yun Ye stared for a while, feeling the urge to reach out and touch them, but the Dream Princess had already retracted her tails and happily began to share her story.

"A very long time ago, the Celestial Fox clan was already a holy tribe among demons, possessing considerable power in the Red Heaven realm. The Celestial Fox King I was born under was at the peak of her strength."

"The Celestial Fox clan practiced Spirit Law and naturally had the power to control other beings. The number of tails a newborn had indicated their potential; the more tails, the stronger they were. Even if this potential was not immediately evident, survival would lead to an eventual burst of incredible capabilities."

"I was born with nine tails, a quality that had not been seen in thousands of years, meaning I was highly valued by the clan, showered with affection. With the support of my clan, I indeed demonstrated remarkable cultivation speed, reaching the ‘Chaotic World’ stage in just a hundred years."

"During this time, the Celestial Fox clan came into conflict with other demon tribes, leading to a great war that plunged the entire Celestial Fox realm into chaos. Perhaps I was overly protected; I knew almost nothing of the war’s beginning or end, only witnessing many fallen Celestial Foxes having their bloodlines extracted and buried beneath the Blood God Tree."

"Later, I learned that the Celestial Fox clan could devour their kin’s bloodlines to gain tails, or consume the fruits of the Blood God Tree to enhance their potential. Though both methods had limits, and were far inferior to being born with nine tails, they could still ensure the strength of the Celestial Fox clan."

"However, at that time, I could not accept the outcome. I only saw familiar individuals perish, their bloodlines extracted, their powers entrusted to younger Celestial Foxes. The entire Celestial Fox realm was undergoing dramatic changes, far beyond my capacity to bear."

"Eventually, the Celestial Fox clan emerged victorious, gaining greater territory, more resources, and countless slaves. Although wise demon races were scarce, the majority were mindless demons that could not be enslaved, yet this posed no problem for the Celestial Fox clan. As long as there was a soul, the Celestial Fox could control them forever."

"As the number of slaves grew, various races gathered in the realm, and I finally cultivated my power, beginning to venture into the Dimension of Dreams. Since then, I have wandered through the dreams of all beings, collecting Spiritual Particles to aid my cultivation and strengthen my Spirit Law."

"Gradually, I came to understand the customs, wisdom, and habits of various clans. A person I had never seen before became so familiar to me that they might not know themselves as well as I did. This unique cultivation experience allowed me to encounter many stories, and I often regretted not having the strength to achieve better outcomes…"

"Later, I established the Grand Demon Judgment Court to maintain order among the demon tribes and hoped for relative stability, but unfortunately, this was only a limited intervention."

"To completely change the order as the Divine Monarch did, to reshape the heavens and the earth, even becoming a Monarch is far from sufficient. Moreover, this is the order of heaven and earth; for one’s future and personal desires, war will inevitably arise – if one tribe can do it, what about countless demon races?"

"The Divine Monarch is dedicated to the flourishing of the human race due to the True Immortals, while I do not share such aspirations. Perhaps it is because the Celestial Fox clan is already so few in number. I simply hope for stability for the Celestial Foxes and do not need to be obsessed with ruling the entire Red Heaven realm or eliminating all threats."

"After pondering the past and future, the best choice I can see is only the human race. Only the human race possesses Dao Artifacts, and only the human race might abide by the order they set. If they fail under such circumstances, then that signifies that the various races are doomed to be unable to coexist."

"As long as they adhere to the order, they can receive equal treatment. This is my belief in the Tomorrow Dao; this is why I wish for the survival of the Celestial Empire."

"Qing Liu Sheng, the future entrusted to you by the Divine Empress, you must hold onto it tightly!"

Yun Ye locked eyes with the Dream Princess.

"Hahaha, what a dull story. It started without any twists and ended just as simply. I thought you would tell some touching tales; this is truly unexpected!" Yun Ye laughed heartily. After a while, he replied seriously, "This is something I should tell everyone personally… entrusted by the Divine Empress, I will never let go!"
