Chapter 348: Using the Stars as Gifts, Chen Changsheng: You Can Come to k*ll Me
Upon hearing this, Chen Shisan took out a shiny small stone from his pocket and said, “I’ve prepared this for you a long time ago, but Meng Yu also wanted a pair of earrings, so I took a little more time.”
“Hmph!”
“At least you kept your promise.”
After taking the item from Chen Shisan, Qian Bao’er looked at Tianxuan.
“Elder Brother Tianxuan, what about you?”
In response to Qian Bao’er’s words, Tianxuan answered with a question that didn’t directly address her inquiry.
“With your divine status, it won’t dissipate so quickly. Why don’t you accept the luck of the Demon Court?”
“Because I want to help you,” Qian Bao’er replied with a slight smile, “Xiancha and Elder Brother Tianxuan are both having issues.”
“There isn’t much Bao’er can do; the only thing I can do is help you see clearly.”
“I hope Bao’er’s disappearance can help you break free from the past.”
Upon hearing this, Tianxuan fell silent for a while, then also took out a shiny small stone from his pocket.
After putting on the star-crafted earrings, Qian Bao’er happily twirled around.
“Do you think I look beautiful?”
Looking at Qian Bao’er, who was as cheerful as a blooming flower, Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “Very beautiful. Thankfully, these two fellows weren’t interested in you; otherwise, you would have suffered greatly.”
“Hahaha!”
“Of course! I’m the eldest daughter of the Wanfeng Merchant Association. How could these two poor lads possibly deserve me?”
As she spoke, Qian Bao’er strode towards the prepared coffin and found a comfortable position to lie down in.
“I’m tired. I will rest for a bit; you all continue, and I will come later.”
As soon as she finished, Qian Bao’er closed her eyes, and her body transformed into a streak of light that dispersed.
Inside the coffin, only a pair of earrings lay silently.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng calmly closed the coffin and began to burn paper money in the fire pit.
“Why hasn’t anyone else come?”
Chen Changsheng asked lightly, and Chen Shisan, who was also burning paper, replied, “Bao’er doesn’t want anyone else here. She said that however it begins, it should end the same way.”
“With more people, she fears attachment.”
After Chen Shisan spoke, the three fell into silence again.
After a long while, Tianxuan spoke, “Xiancha, I’m sorry.”
“You didn’t owe me; you owe it to yourself and to the deceased Linglong.”
“In the Divine Seal War, Linglong trapped herself in the situation, ultimately refusing to become a deity even in d*ath.”
“Her actions were meant to tell you to not live like a walking corpse, but you didn’t listen to her…”
“Why should Linglong d*e just for your so-called grand scheme?”
“I’ve done enough; why didn’t you spare Linglong back then!”
Before Chen Changsheng could finish, Tianxuan stood up and yelled at him.
Glancing at the almost mad Tianxuan, Chen Changsheng continued to burn the paper money.
“That’s right, this is the so-called grand scheme I mentioned. Whether it’s conforming to the situation or overturning it, someone has to d*e.”
“It’s reasonable for you to resent me and hate me.”
“But I must remind you, this is just a puppet body of mine; if you want to k*ll me, you have to find my true body.”
“You know the location of my true body, so I don’t need to tell you.”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, the corners of Tianxuan’s mouth trembled, and then he sat on the ground and began to cry like a child.
At that moment, he no longer held the cold-blooded demeanor of the Demon Emperor.
To Tianxuan, Chen Changsheng was a mentor, an existence akin to a father.
The significance of the Divine Seal War was clear to Tianxuan; he understood that Linglong died in his place.
At that time, someone from the Demon Clan had to step forward; it was unavoidable.
But knowing something doesn’t mean one can accept it.
Tianxuan couldn’t accept that his beloved died in front of him, and he could only watch her d*e.

…
After some time, once the paper money was burned, Chen Changsheng stood up.
He stored away Qian Bao’er’s coffin, patted Tianxuan on the shoulder, and said, “Do what you want to do, k*ll whoever you want to k*ll; don’t hold back.”
“Even if you want to come to k*ll me, you must be resolute.”
“But even in madness, you must maintain a shred of reason; to put it simply, k*ll slowly.”
“No one can k*ll all living beings; reckless aggression will only lead to a quicker d*ath.”
“Slowly k*ll, and you can k*ll longer and more.”
After finishing, Chen Changsheng left with Bai Ze, leaving Chen Shisan and Tianxuan behind.
A while later, Chen Shisan glanced at Tianxuan on the ground and then left as well.
At this moment, the empty room was left with only Tianxuan.
…
Demon Court, 1,800 years later.
The cold-blooded Demon Emperor finally ceased the killings; to be precise, he no longer forced others to d*e.
Although the Demon Emperor still went to contend in the Forbidden Grounds, all battles were fought by him alone.
This kind of conclusion was reluctantly accepted by all living beings in the world.
As for who changed the Demon Emperor’s mind, there were many opinions across the world.
Some said it was the White-Haired Sword God who intervened and dissuaded the Demon Emperor.
Others said it was the d*ath of the “God of Wealth” that brought the Demon Emperor back to his senses.
The “God of Wealth” was a close friend of the Demon Emperor in their youth.
No matter what the past was like, the final outcome was satisfactory to everyone, and the world finally welcomed peace.
…
Qiongqi Tomb.
Chen Changsheng sat among countless puppets, all around him were his failed creations.
At that moment, Bai Ze returned with a puppet avatar.
Looking at Chen Changsheng, who had an expressionless face, Bai Ze wanted to speak but ultimately didn’t know what to say.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Ze shook his head and returned to his lair.
Taking the coffin from the puppet, Chen Changsheng turned to Bai Ze and asked, “Do you want to go out now?”
“Not yet, I don’t want to go out right now.”
“If you don’t want to go out, then just stay here. Tianxuan won’t be stopping; when he dies, remember to call me.”
Hearing this, Bai Ze shot Chen Changsheng a glance and said, “What? Are you going to sleep again?”
“Yes, I still have more than two hundred years, I think.”
“How long will you sleep?”
“Five thousand one hundred twenty years; don’t wake me unless something major happens.”
“Then you can sleep slowly; after sleeping, everything will be clear.”
Saying this, Bai Ze took out a Longevity bl**d Stone and sealed himself inside it.
With Bai Ze’s strength, the Longevity bl**d Stone couldn’t contain his lifespan, but it could still serve to prolong it somewhat.
Chen Changsheng’s lifespan was endless, but even if he could live as long as possible, Bai Ze wouldn’t be able to keep him company for long.
Additionally, the Longevity bl**d Stone had another effect; it could put cultivators into deep sleep.
For powerful beings, sleeping is a luxury, as their consciousness remains awake, and they do not experience fatigue.
