“The Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is indeed the strongest protective talisman you have right now.” Xia Qingyue did not deny Yun Che’s words, “Her existence has created an incomparably peerless threat to the universe. But besides that deterrence, what else does she have? And is her power something that you can use?”

Yun Che, “...”

“There’s no need for you to answer.” Without waiting for Yun Che to reply, Xia Qingyue had already continued in a calm voice that could not be called into question, “I am convinced that you can’t. As a primordial Devil Emperor, how could she be freely controlled by a human being! Other than that, as the one who has inherited the Heretic God divine power, if you had to rely on the strength of others to flaunt your might, she would only feel disappointment, contempt, and even fury.”

Every single word that Xia Qingyue had said had been right on the mark… In fact, not too long ago, Jie Yuan had given him the same warning, telling him that he should forget about ever thinking of borrowing her power.

“If I am so convinced, then it will be the same for other people as well.” Xia Qingyue continued, “Furthermore, this point is entirely secondary. Did you ever think of what would happen if the talisman that is the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor disappeared one day?”

“She’s the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor, who can make her disappear?” Yun Che asked.

“When I said disappear, I did not mean that she would disappear. I meant that the ‘special favor’ that she shows you would disappear. Because in the end, you are only the person who inherited the Heretic God divine power. You’re still basically a mortal, and not the Heretic God himself.”

“...” Yun Che did not respond, yet he still did not quite agree with her in his heart. Because outside of the Heretic God divine power, he still had Hong’er and You’er, so Xia Qingyue’s worries would not actually come to pass.

Xia Qingyue seemed to have sensed Yun Che’s disagreement as she gave a soft sigh in her heart...
