Caught Between Two Difficult Choices

In the Western Land of the Primordial World, at Mount Sumeru...

Zhunti absorbed the Chaos Aura and felt the changes within himself. "Haha... Good, good... The Water Demon God did me a favor. With this Chaos Aura, my plan can go a step further. Soon, soon..."

The Demon Emperor absorbed the Chaos Aura as well. "You've certainly gained a great opportunity. You were the one who released the Water Demon God too, weren't you?"

"That's right... I've long known that a Water Demon God was sealed beneath the Extreme Northern Glacier. The Burning Demon God's flames fell upon the Western Land, and Chen Yang took the source flame, but I collected the remnants and cast them into the glacier to break the seal and release the Water Demon God. My plan succeeded. He drew Chen Yang's attention and stirred up conflict between the Sea Clan and the Daoist Sect, leaving Chen Yang no time to concern himself with changes in the Buddhist Sect. But I never expected the Water Demon God to go this far. He shattered the Primordial World and sent its accumulated energy flowing my way, giving me a helping hand." Zhunti laughed wildly.

The Demon Emperor pondered for a moment. "So that's how it was... No wonder you were so confident. You'd planned it all along. But you've taken this so far that you've caused plenty of trouble."

"Trouble? What trouble? I don't care about trouble. At long last, I can break free of my shackles. Haha..." Zhunti shouted in a frenzy. As he felt the aura of Chaos, demonic qi spread across his body.

The Demon Emperor watched him, a trace of coldness in his deep eyes. In the end, he fell silent, as though waiting for something.
