The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Donghua frowned slightly, staring at her with disdain, and slowly spoke, "The reason I didn't allow it back then was entirely because I wanted you to be with me for the rest of my life! If that were the case, why would we be bound by the title of master and disciple? But back then, you were even more stubborn than I am!"

Ziyou smiled slyly and replied softly, "Hehe, actually, I still have some feelings for you, but it's really hard for me to treat you as a man."

Donghua's eyes widened when he heard this. He stared at her in disbelief and sternly said, "What do you mean? Do you dare to say it again?"

Ziyou immediately realized that what he had just said seemed ambiguous, and hurriedly waved his hand to explain: "Oh, that's not the case! What I meant was that I always regard you as an elder like my master. Therefore..."

Donghua interrupted her and sneered, "Oh? I see. Now I remember that when you first met me, you simply called me 'Grandpa'."

Ziyou couldn't help but feel embarrassed and stammered, "Well... I was still young at the time, and even if I call you grandpa, considering your age, I really deserve it."

Donghua glanced at her calmly after hearing this, as if lost in thought. After a moment, he suddenly suggested, "Since that's the case, from now on, why don't you call me brother, just like you call Zheyan?"

Upon hearing this, Ziyou's face immediately lit up with a delighted smile, expressing his great satisfaction with this new title. He happily accepted it and immediately bowed solemnly, saying, "Ziyou greets brother."

Seeing that she was still lingering in his Taichen Palace, Donghua could only say, "You are now the Heavenly Emperor. You should be more diligent in your work. Go back quickly and don't stay here any longer."

Ziyou: "You've taken so long to come back, shouldn't I tell you about my achievements over the past thousands of years?"

Donghua was genuinely curious, but he'd originally planned to ask Siming directly. Now that she was willing to speak, that was fine. Seeing the pride evident in her eyes, Donghua knew she must have done quite well over the years. So, he said calmly, "Then tell me."

Zi You raised her head slightly and spoke confidently, "I have divided this world into six tribes: the Immortals, the Demons, the Winged Tribe, the Humans, and the Underworld. As for you, the Supreme Gods, govern yourselves, as long as you don't endanger the Four Seas and Eight Desolations. Of these, I will preside over the Immortals, while Ying Zheng will be in charge of the Underworld. I originally wanted Zhe Yan to lead the Demons, but he didn't enjoy being in charge, so he trained Feng Xi to manage them. Regarding the Demons, we'll have to wait for Sister Shao Wan's return. That Xuan Mo Jun, Nie Chu, was accustomed to committing evil. I used Miao Luo's remaining blood to lure him out and kill him. Now Yan Chi Wu is temporarily in charge. The Winged Tribe will still be managed by Li Jing, but I plan to merge it with the Demon Tribe upon Sister Shao Wan's return. Furthermore, I've assisted them in establishing academies in their respective regions to help those lesser beings gain the skills to survive. I've also formulated a series of laws and regulations, which have been approved by the Heavenly Dao and incorporated into the Heavenly Rules. I've even perfected a corresponding punishment system for us."

Donghua heard this and said with some worry, "How are you going to deal with Miaoluo? The demon clan still has Miaoluo to deal with. I lost 90% of my magic power during this tribulation, so if Miaoluo makes any unusual moves, I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything."

Ziyou nodded in understanding and told Donghua that they had placed the blood in the Red Lotus Karma Fire, where it was instantly consumed. She also added that when the Donghuang Bell shattered and fell into Ruoshui, the Red Lotus Karma Fire within it became the greatest punishment in the Eighteen Layers of Hell for those who committed too much evil.

Hearing this, Donghua suddenly remembered that Ziyou knew the original direction, so he asked, "According to the original direction, the Red Lotus Karma Fire was always in the Donghuang Bell. How did Miaoluo deal with it?"

Ziyou thought for a moment and replied, "It was you, Emperor Donghua, who was battling the Demon Lord Miaoluo at the moment of his ascension. The Emperor set up a starlight barrier for this purpose, hoping to perish with Miaoluo. When you and Miaoluo were fighting, the nine stars began to fall, and the gods rushed to the Brahma Valley after discovering it. Fengjiu's sudden appearance distracted you, and Miaoluo took the opportunity to seriously injure you. Bai Fengjiu rushed into the starlight barrier anxiously, risking her life to rescue you, but even so, the two of you were still no match for Miaoluo. Bai Fengjiu was even hit by Miaoluo's all-out blow and spit out blood. Nine-tailed Fox Bai Fengjiu's heart blood possesses the power to purify all evil from the world. Without hesitation, she smeared it on the sword, ultimately reversing the situation. Empowered by Bai Fengjiu's heart blood, the two of you overcame countless dangers and ultimately defeated and killed Miaoluo. However, both Bai Fengjiu and you were severely injured, nearing death. Unable to enter the Starlight Barrier, the gods outside the barrier were left anxious and helpless. At this crucial moment, Bai Fengjiu's heart blood fused and evolved with your red-gold blood, automatically rupturing the Starlight Barrier.

Donghua: "Logically speaking, the Starlight Barrier will only break when the Three Poisons are completely purified. Does that mean the Three Poisons within the Miaoyi Abyss had already completely disappeared?" Ziyou: "Indeed, it seems that Bai Fengjiu's heart blood combined with yours is enough to purify the Three Poisons. Bai Fengjiu's heart blood is also in Milan now."

Donghua finally felt a sense of relief after hearing this. He breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's great! Once we know the solution, it's easy to act. However, the three poisonous auras are as stubborn as weeds. Even if we can purify them now, they will inevitably reappear due to their incessant growth. Milan and I won't be able to survive for long."

Zi You thought for a moment after hearing this and replied, "I've already considered this. Since you can lead it to the Mysterious Abyss, you can probably lead it elsewhere. Then, lead it to the Eighteen Hells. Anything born will be instantly devoured by the blazing crimson lotus fire. This way, we can resolve this problem once and for all."

Donghua agreed with what Ziyou said and nodded with a smile, expressing his approval: "Well, what you said is very good."

At this moment, Ziyou was like a child being praised by her elders, her face overflowing with joy and pride, and she felt immensely satisfied. She didn't forget to mention Ying Zheng, and quickly added, "This is the plan that Ying Zheng and I came up with after discussing it together. However, everything ultimately depends on your help, brother. I hope you will work hard!" Her words revealed her earnest hope for Donghua.
