ACER-Chapter 7: She Was Still Just a Child At The Time

“Di Yange, why were you so good to Luo Ziyin? If you had treated me even half as well as you treated him back then, I wouldn’t have… wouldn’t have…”

Mo Changliu looked unwillingly at the pure and heartwarming smile of Di Yange in the light screen, and actually felt a trace of jealousy toward Luo Ziyin.

As for Luo Ziyin, aside from the pain in his body, his heart was filled with bitterness.

Back then, when he learned what senior sister had done for him, he had already been moved, but what’s with this wildly beating heart now?

He should hate her, yet why couldn’t he feel any hatred at all now?

“Brother…”

Luo Ziyin murmured softly, his eyes reddening, his figure a bit unsteady.

The mountain of blades was dyed in patches of crimson, how much blood could a person have to stain the mountain of blades like this?

Watching Di Yange walk step by step toward the end, everyone’s hearts tightened.

Although they hated Di Yange deeply, no matter what, she wasn’t only a child at the time, but everything she did was clear in conscience.

Seeing that Di Yange was about to reach the end, the tension in everyone’s hearts was just about to ease.

But for some reason, Di Yange suddenly slipped and fell heavily to the ground.

“Ah!!!”

This was the cry of shock from everyone.

And Di Yange had already gone motionless the moment she fell.

Her entire body seemed to be embedded into the mountain of blades. The white robe the old man had given her was once again torn to shreds, blood continuously pouring down from her body, as if all the blood in her body was about to drain out.

“The demon emperor… he’s not going to die, is he?”

“How could that be possible? If he died, who’s here right now? But still, he’s really too miserable. In my entire life, I’ve never seen such a miserable mortal. Even being struck by tribulation lightning wouldn’t be worse than this.”

“But he’s still just a child.”

Everyone present had ascended to the Upper Realm through countless tribulation lightning.

But, they had all been well prepared, and their minds and wills had already been tempered to an extreme degree.

How could it compare to Di Yange, who was still an ignorant child at the time?

Di Yange, seated on the divine throne, glanced at herself, her eyes flickering slightly. In fact, she had deliberately slipped back then.

She’d thought that she could take advantage of the situation to die and return, but who knew it would quickly be judged as intentional. If she really died, there would be no chance to start over.

It’s also from that moment onward that she no longer dared to cheat.

And it’s also from that moment onward that she began her tragic path to becoming a god.

……

After realizing her attempt at seeking death had failed, Di Yange in the light screen tried to get up. Although she didn’t feel much pain, she’s now covered in wounds and had lost too much blood, she already had little strength left.

“Ah!!” Watching Di Yange fail to get up several times, the crowd gasped repeatedly.

Some even secretly cheered her on.

“Demon emperor, aren’t you the demon emperor? It’s just this little distance, hurry up and get through it.”

Seeing that only a short distance remained, in order to survive, Di Yange could only protect her chest and crawl forward using her limbs.

A distance of only a few steps made her sweat profusely, her entire body trembling.

It wasn’t from pain, but because she was really too weak.

Dizzy, with blurred vision, everything before her was even indistinct.

She was only holding on with the will to survive.

Until she passed the mountain of blades, many people finally let out a sigh of relief, but Di Yange seemed to be unaware that she had already passed, still crawling forward blankly.

The blood covering the ground had all been shed for Luo Ziyin.

Everyone fell silent once again.

And Luo Ziyin, at some point, had already collapsed against the light screen, kneeling on the ground, tears streaming down his face.

The pain throughout his body made him understand how painful and helpless she had been at the time.

Yet all of it had been to save him, and he had known nothing at all.

“Brother…”

At this moment, the old man finally appeared. Looking at Di Yange, covered in blood yet still crawling blankly, his eyes were filled with excitement.

“For thousands of years, someone has finally passed through this Yellow Springs Formation. I, Tian Xuanzi, finally have a successor. From now on, you are the sole inheritor of the Xuan Medical Immortal Sect.”

Hearing the old man’s words, everyone was stirred.

“What? Tian Xuanzi? Xuan Medical Immortal Sect? Is he the Tian Xuanzi who once saved my wife’s life? He wore a mask all along so I thought he was some immortal. I never thought he would be such a sage-like old man. But in the end, he was also killed by Di Yange.”

“Tian Xuanzi also saved my parents. I’ve always wanted to repay him, but he was harmed by that monster Di Yange.”

“He was such a good person, why would he pass his own inheritance to Di Yange? This is simply sending a sheep into a tiger’s mouth.”

“Di Yange, that beast, he could even bring himself to kill someone as good as Tian Xuanzi”

“Wait, if Tian Xuanzi is a good person, how could he create something as terrifying as the Yellow Springs Formation?”

“What do you know? This must be a test set by Tian Xuanzi, he did all this to select a successor.”

Many people present had once received Tian Xuanzi’s favor.

But when they thought of how their benefactor had been killed by Di Yange, any slight goodwill they had just developed toward her vanished like smoke.

Di Yange on the divine throne felt everyone’s gazes, and even thought they didn’t hate her enough.

With a provocative look, she faced everyone directly, a mocking smile at the corner of her lips, “Tian Xuanzi was killed by This Emperor. If you have the ability, come and kill This Emperor. Otherwise, when This Emperor gets out, you will suffer.”

With that, it’s like a stone thrown into a thousand ripples, the hatred toward Di Yange surged to an unprecedented level.

Looking at the crowd’s anger yet inability to act, Di Yange’s smile grew even more enchanting.

Only that within that enchanting smile was a trace of stiffness.

Fortunately, these people were simple-minded and easily provoked by her.

But she didn’t know how long she could still keep secret the fact that Tian Xuanzi was actually one of her identities.

The faint bitterness at the corner of Di Yange’s lips was caught by someone secretly watching her, a man hidden within the crowd, glaring at her with equal hatred.

Among everyone present, although all of them hated her, none hated her more than he did.

Sensing something, Di Yange suddenly turned her head to look, but saw nothing. She then gave a provocative smile in that direction, being extremely arrogant.

This sneaky fellow mustn’t be anything good.

If she weren’t trapped here and unable to use her cultivation, how could she fail to see that someone was there?

But even if she couldn’t see him, she could still sense him.

There’s no helping it, she was just that powerful.

That person, receiving Di Yange’s gaze, was instantly angered.
