651 Your Majesty Jiang Li, I: Shen lang: have won!
When they saw Shen Lang’s body turning into a fossil inch by inch, they felt as if the world was collapsing.
Shen lang, the person who had been creating miracles, the person who was not completely destroyed even during the drastic changes in the North Pole, and the person who defeated the Emperor of Great Yan, had turned into a fossil and a statue.
How could one not feel despair? The person in the black shadow disguise looked at Shen Lang’s fossil for a long time.
Of course, it was only less than a minute.
Shen Lang’s entire body had turned into a fossil. Not an inch of his body had survived.
At the same time, the hell soul bead on his bracelet lost its suppression and released a strange light. The crystal of hell and the powerful soul of an ancient human being that was suppressed inside let out a series of howls that sounded like the wails of ghosts and howls of wolves.
The black shadow sighed softly, and his eyes revealed a light that was close to despair. Indeed, this was the result. Shen lang had no hope.
Then, he slowly floated up and came to Shen Lang’s side with his eyes closed.
Shen lang had ordered that there was a curfew tonight, and no one was allowed to leave the house.
Therefore, no one had witnessed Shen lang turning into a fossil, and they did not have to experience such despair.
When he flew to Shen Lang’s side, the black shadow looked at every inch of the stone on Shen Lang’s body and sighed again. Then, he took out the hell soul Pearl from Shen Lang’s bracelet. When he reached out, his arm trembled, but he quickly stopped and grabbed the powerful hell soul Pearl in his palm.
Then, he slowly floated down and arrived outside the Great Pyramid.
Shen lang had already changed the password on the wheel and the handprint. By right, only Shen lang could take it down.
However, this door was not part of the Great Pyramid at all. It was added later.
The black shadow easily opened the door and walked into the pyramid Hall. He came to the control center of the screen wall, which was the control center of the entire desert capital.
In fact, the control center of the screen wall was completely different from before. The previous image wall was really like a crystal, completely frozen.
Now, it had been activated and turned into a ball of light as if it was alive.
If the previous pyramid and the heaven-looking totem were in standby mode, they only started operating after Shen lang activated them.
The black shadow looked at the hell soul bead in his hand and then at the control center of the shadow wall.
Even though his face and eyes could not be seen clearly, one could still feel his pain.
After struggling for a while, he knelt on the ground and growled like a beast.
No words could describe the complexity of his low growl. The pain, the despair, and the desire to be free.
It was as if he was making a final painful choice, a choice that was more difficult than life and death.
In just ten seconds, he made his decision.
I’m sorry, I have no other choice.
I really have no other choice.
There was no more hope. Jiang Li might be their only hope. Shen lang couldn’t do it, and he had always been unable to do it.
Then, the black shadow threw the hell soul Pearl in his hand into the control center of the shadow wall.
First, it was silence!
And then,
BOOM! BOOM! The hell soul Pearl exploded.
The hell crystals and the terrifying soul energy inside were attacking and corrupting the entire Control Center of the image wall.
In an instant, the control center of the image wall began to twist and change. There seemed to be countless cries of ghosts and howls of wolves inside. The hell crystals were desperately devouring, controlling, and spreading!
In a short time, they occupied the entire Control Center of the image wall.
How could he describe this feeling? It was like inserting a USB drive into the enemy’s control Center, and it was full of viruses and trojans.
Before, the enemy’s computer was not turned on, so the virus could not be implanted. Now that it was turned on, the virus implanted would take effect.
“The hell crystals should be the most terrifying virus. In the past, a tiny bit of the hell crystals had devoured the entire magma sea.
More and more hell crystals devoured the energy of the entire North Pole and then the entire planet. There was no virus more terrifying than it in the world. It could devour all energy and was almost harmless. Once it started to spread, it would be completely uncontrollable.
Jiang Li relied on it to rule the entire world and complete what ancient human beings couldn’t. The hell crystal was the result of Jiang Li and several teachers ‘hard work.
And what would happen if it started to spread in the control center of the pyramid?
It devoured everything around it in an instant and expanded wildly until it turned everything into its own energy.
Then, the entire Control Center, the entire pyramid, and the entire ancient totem were all paralyzed.
This process was very fast, but also very slow.
First, the entire Control Center of the image wall seemed to have been completely distorted, turning into the color of the hell crystal.
Then, the entire giant pyramid shook violently.
In the end, the heaven-gazing totem with a human face and a snake body at the top of the pyramid instantly lost all its light, even the light in its eyes. All of its functions were immediately disabled, and it became the most ordinary sculpture.
Just like the most advanced computer system, it was shut down.
First, all the activated weapons systems in the desert capital were rendered ineffective.
Immediately after, the desert capital’s ecological energy shield completely lost its effectiveness. A terrible cold invaded the area, and the desert’s Gale came.
In the end, the entire defense system of the desert capital was paralyzed.
There was no spatial folding, no spatial concealment, and no spatial tunnel.
The desert capital, which had been hidden for countless years and could only be entered by Princess Ninghan, was completely exposed in the vast desert and in front of all the spies.
This was clearly seen by the person in disguise. A few black figures flew over from the sky and directly entered the sky above the desert capital. They didn’t need to lead the way and just flew straight in.
It was obvious that the desert capital was finished! The ninth city-state of the ancient empire was finished.
It had successfully survived the first and second great Nirvana of the world.
However, the third great Nirvana had not arrived yet and he was already finished.
“Hu hu hu hu ~~~”
Countless cold air, storms, and sand poured in.
It was as Jiang Li had said, the desert capital was about to be destroyed.
At this time, a burst of strange roars sounded inside the Great Pyramid, as if two energies were fighting to the death, as if the energy light shadow wall was making the final life and death struggle.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Finally, the first figure appeared. It was Zhu hongxue.
He flew to the sky above the heaven-gazing totem statue and caught Shen lang, who had turned into a stone. At this moment, his entire body seemed to have turned into a fossil. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief, and his entire body and soul were completely numb.
Emperor Shen lang actually turned into a fossil? He was so omnipotent and powerful, how could he have turned into a fossil?
Immediately after, Ning Han, Zhu Rong, Zhu Ning, Zhang Zhao, and more than a dozen people, the Board of Ministers of the great Qian Empire, and all the higher-ups of the Bureau of Military Affairs, all rushed into the pyramid.
“There’s no need to fight, everything is over. The desert capital is finished,” the imposter said hoarsely.
Everyone looked at him quietly, not saying a word, and soon recognized his figure.
Then, everyone’s body began to tremble, and they revealed looks of complete disbelief.
Zhu hongxue, in particular, could not even stand straight. He almost knelt down. As for Princess Ning Han, she closed her eyes in pain.
“Why you? Why are you the one in disguise of The Dark Emperor Jiang?” Zhu hongxue trembled as he said,”that day when my identity was revealed, my entire life was in its darkest moment. It was you who helped me walk out of it.” When my soul had no support at all, it was you who helped me find a great life goal. Without you, I wouldn’t have the courage to live to this day.”
“If you forget about this, you might feel better,” the shadow impersonator sighed. In one’s life, one would always have to face all kinds of collapses. The collapse of one’s world view, outlook on life, and spiritual pillar. Do you know the king of Yue, ning yuanxian? He admired Emperor Jiang Li so much that he regarded him as the sun of the whole world. He even lost his life and the entire Kingdom for him. But what was the result? Jiang Li was the destroyer of the entire world. It wasn’t easy for him to stand up and regain his dignity, but his idol collapsed.”
Princess Ning Han trembled and said,”but even in the most desperate and darkest moments, we managed to hold on.” You saved the sky-Sea Pavilion, the entire desert capital, the new da Qian Empire, the Land of Light, the land of hope. If not for the order you set, the hundreds of thousands of people in the desert capital would have been destroyed and collapsed. Every rule and regulation here was set by you, the time to go to bed, the time to wake up, the time to work, what everyone should do, and every ceremony of the great Qian Empire were all written according to the history books. You have established a great Qian Empire that is on the right track even more so than raging tide city. Now that His Majesty Shen lang has returned, the most difficult time has passed. Why can’t you hold on?”
Everyone looked at the person in disguise in disbelief.
Zhu Rong trembled as he said, ” the Emperor of Great Yan died at that time. When we were released from prison, we became the laughing stock of the entire world. It was really disheartening. I once thought of committing suicide. It was you who took us away from Tian Yue city and brought us to the desert capital. Not only did you give us a new life, but you also gave us a goal in life and the motivation to live on. Why are we all able to survive in the darkness, but you can’t?”
“Ignorance is a blessing,” the black shadow imposter said painfully. Because he knew very little, he could live on with one goal. Because of their ignorance, they were filled with hope. But once you know too much, you’ll be in complete despair, and you’ll sink into eternal darkness, unable to extricate yourself.”
When he said these words, everyone was silent.
That’s right, to a certain extent, ignorance was indeed a blessing, and one could live on relatively optimistically. The more you know, the more you understand, the darker your life will be, and the less hope you have.
Zhu hongxue was almost unable to make a sound. He even squatted on the ground.
“Why? Why did you do this? You must’ve been possessed by an ancient human of a higher level than Jiang Li. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have betrayed us. Even if all of us collapsed, you wouldn’t. Even if all of us collapsed, you wouldn’t.” Zhu hongxue shouted with all his might.
“No, redsnow, I’m far from that powerful.” I really can’t bear this heavy responsibility, ” the imposter said. but all of you have your eyes on me. You’ve entrusted your hope and life to me. I have no choice but to take on this heavy responsibility. This kind of trust, this kind of pressure, was increasing day by day, and one day, it would completely crush my will. I’m not possessed, and I’m not replaced. I’m one hundred percent embarrassed!”
“That’s right, I’m the imposter that Jiang Li sneaked into the desert capital!”
Next, the imposter removed the mask on his face and revealed his true face.
He was Zuo Ci, the head of the sky-Sea Pavilion and the Prime Minister of the great Qian Empire. He was the greatest hero of this Pure Land and the one who had saved hundreds of thousands of people.
He was the only one who had disguised himself as Jiang Li to infiltrate the desert capital.
At this moment, Zhu hongxue was in complete despair. He no longer had any room for imagination. The truth was revealed in the cruelest way in front of him.
“Zhu hongxue, you’re asking me why I’m doing this?” Pavilion master Zuo Ci took a deep breath and said, ” “I wasn’t possessed, nor was I replaced by the ancient humans. I’m completely self-aware. Why did he betray the great Qian Empire? why did he betray His Majesty Shen lang? why did he betray all of you?”
Everyone was silent as they waited for Zuo CI’s self-analysis.
“Is it because of wealth and glory? No, Jiang Li didn’t promise to give me any official position.”
“Is it because of the powerful energy? Jiang Li didn’t even give me any hell crystals.”
“Is it because you’re trying to drag out an ignoble existence? No, I don’t even plan to live.”
“Why did I betray the great Qian Empire and why did I become Jiang Li’s imposter? There is only one reason. When Jiang Li saves the world, his spaceship will have 1000 positions of the sky-Sea Pavilion and your position.”
As soon as he said this, everyone’s tears could no longer be held back. Even with Ning Han’s strong will, he couldn’t hold it in at all and tears streamed down his face.
“I don’t need it! I don’t need Yingluo!” Zhu hongxue shouted.”Even if I have to die, I will fight to the end.”
Zuo Ci looked at Zhu hongxue and said,”I don’t have any children. You and Ning Han are my children.” You can give up hope of survival, but I can’t not give it to you. I don’t have the face to live in this world, but I hope you can live on bravely, even if it’s humiliating.”
Zhu hongxue gritted his teeth and said, ” His Majesty Shen lang has returned. We are not without hope. Why did you collapse at this time? ” What if they surrendered? What if you admit defeat?”
“Hongxue, I was once like you. My heart was filled with hope. I travelled to the ends of the earth to find a way to save the world and defeat Jiang Li.” I’ve traveled to the ends of the world to find His Majesty Shen lang. One year, three years, ten years, twenty years. I even risked entering the territory of the Jiangli Empire again and again. Do you know what Jiang Li did to me?”
Everyone shook their heads.
Jiang Li tortured Zuo Ci? Did they capture him, suppress his soul, and torture his mind?
“No, he didn’t torture me at all. In fact, I provoked him time and time again. I even went to the North Pole and observed his palace at a very close distance, but he ignored me. Just like that, he quietly let me take risks everywhere and observe the world. He let me completely understand the truth of this world, the cruelest truth. He let me experience this despair by myself.”
“This world is finished. In 90 years, the ancient great Nirvana will happen again. We can’t save the world by relying on romantic feelings and beautiful feelings.”
“Emperor Shen lang is very good. He reveres people and always maintains his personality. He has the purest feelings for the people in the world. His words had touched countless people. Even if there was no enmity in the world, he would not forget his original heart. For this goal, he was willing to give up anything, even the throne. I’m really envious of him, and I admire him.”
“However, Jiang Li is right. Emperor Shen lang is too naive. Saving the world is not like treating people to a meal. There will definitely be sacrifices, and they will be the most terrifying and cruelest sacrifices. There’s not even any praise, there’s no hymn, there’s only endless despair and coldness.”
“If the heavens have feelings, the heavens will also grow old! When a person was emotionally tied, he could not be extremely strong. Just like me, I look so ugly today.”
“This world can no longer be saved by humans. It’s time to rely on God. However, God was completely emotionless. He could coldly face the death of anyone, even himself. His Majesty Shen lang is too emotional and too human. He can’t save the world. Only Jiang Li has a glimmer of hope.”
“Emotionally, I’m completely on Emperor Shen Lang’s side. However, Yingluo, I chose Jiang Li in the end. I think he is the only one who has the hope of saving the world.”
“I’ve finished. I’m a sinner. I’ve become Jiang Li’s Lackey. You can take my life now. Of course, if you don’t come to take it, I will take my own life.”
As he spoke, Zuo Ci immediately knelt down, his head hanging down, waiting for someone to chop off his neck.
No one stepped forward to make a move.
“Why not?” Zuo Ci asked in a hoarse voice. Do you want me to kill myself?”
Still, no one made a move.
Zuo Ci said, ” don’t learn from His Majesty Shen lang. Don’t be so hot-blooded and romantic. The desert capital was finished. Its Control Center had been completely contaminated by the hell crystals and had lost all its defenses. It was no longer possible to hide. Next, Jiang Li’s Dark Army would surge over like a tide. The terrifying cold and endless yellow sand would drown the desert capital in the shortest time possible, completely destroying all life in the city. Go to the Jiang Empire. There will be a place for you on Jiang Li’s spaceship when the great Nirvana comes in the future.”
Throughout the entire process, Zuo Ci kept addressing Shen Lang as “Your Majesty” but called Jiang Li by his name.
“Teacher, you brought the fake Shen lang to let His Majesty Shen lang prove himself by releasing the Enlightenment of the Dragon and activating the control center of the desert capital, right?” Princess Ning Han said while trembling.
“Yes,” Zuo Ci replied.
Princess Ning Han said, ” you’re doing everything you can to make me marry him. You want him to look at the heaven-gazing totem and make his mind go blank. He will turn into a stone. Only then can you steal the hell soul Pearl on his wrist. You can then pollute the control center of the desert capital and completely paralyze the energy core of the entire desert capital, right? ”
“Yes,” “In fact, even if I didn’t do that, the desert capital wouldn’t have been able to hold on for much longer. The earth energy of the entire great desert is about to be exhausted. Soon, the desert capital will be like the other places, reduced to yellow sand and losing all life.”
“In addition, in my original plan, Qianqian’s mind would go blank when Emperor Shen lang and the heaven-gazing totem look at each other. Furthermore, she would madly overdraw the energy of the entire desert capital. However, he turned into a fossil. I, Youyou, didn’t think of this at all.”
“One more thing, even without Emperor Shen Lang’s hell soul Pearl, I can still paralyze the energy control Center of the shadow wall in the desert capital. Once it’s activated, just a little bit of hell crystal will be enough to contaminate the entire Control Center.”
Everyone recalled that Emperor Shen Lang’s Dragon Sword was embedded with the hell soul Pearl, and it contained the energy of the hell crystal, even though it was very little.
However, the Dragon Sword that he saw the fake Shen lang with was no longer embedded with the hell soul Pearl.
I think that the hell soul Pearl on Emperor Shen Lang’s wrist should be much more powerful and effective. I should be able to paralyze the control center in the desert capital in the shortest time possible, ” Zuo Ci said. this way, I’ll be able to contribute more to Jiang Li. In the future, the sky-Sea Pavilion will have a higher chance of surviving the great Nirvana and will have more people on the spaceship. Perhaps, Yingluo.”
Princess Ning Han said, ” I noticed that when His Majesty Shen lang looked at the heaven-gazing totem, you paused for a full minute before flying up to take His Majesty Shen Lang’s hell soul Pearl. Why? ”
Zuo Ci replied,”because of Huanhuan, I’m also struggling between life and death.” I have also told myself countless times that perhaps His Majesty Shen lang has a chance to save the world. But in the end, I still gave up and he turned into a fossil. Of course, even if he didn’t turn into a fossil, I would have made the same choice because I really couldn’t see any hope for Yingluo.”
“Is there any spiritual contract between you and Jiang Li? a paper contract?” Princess Ning Han asked.
“Not at all,” it’s just a verbal agreement, ” Zuo Ci said. if I agree to be his spy, he’ll give sky-Sea Pavilion 1000 survival slots.
Princess Ning Han said,”His Majesty Shen lang has always said that Jiang Li is a God of cunning. I’ve finally experienced it for myself.” What possession? what ancient humans changing into your appearance and replacing you? those are the lowest level methods. The highest level was to conquer your heart, soul, and spirit. Even the person I respect the most, the person I see as my father, was completely conquered.”
everyone has a weakness, ” Zhu Ning said. if you can grasp your enemy’s weakness and use it to the extreme, you’ll be able to do whatever you want. You’ll be able to control him completely.
Ning Han said,”Jiang Li is powerful because he has no flaws.” As he has no emotions, he has no weaknesses. However, His Majesty Shen Lang’s entire body is filled with weaknesses.”
Zuo Ci said,”therefore, Emperor Shen lang will lose for sure. He has no hope.” Jiang Li didn’t even make a move, and Emperor Shen lang lost the first battle. Furthermore, he lost so badly that he couldn’t even fight back.”
“It’s good to lose, it’s good to lose.” Zuo Ci laughed bitterly. this way, we can stop losses in advance, despair in advance, and recognize the truth of this world in advance. Then, we can do what we should do. Live on, try your best to live on, even if it’s humiliating.”
Then, Pavilion master Zuo Ci looked at Princess Ning Han and said, ” “Child, in the end, you still married His Majesty Shen lang. If you have Emperor Shen Lang’s child in your stomach, then you should live on even more. Perhaps you will have a higher position on Jiang Li’s side and have a place on his spaceship in the future.”
Outside, the cold wind was still blowing, and yellow sand was flying everywhere. They could even hear the roars of the Jiangli Empire’s war behemoths.
It was as if the desert capital was truly finished. After the entire defense system collapsed, Jiang Li’s Army wouldn’t even need to attack. The entire desert capital would be wiped out in less than a month.
The last hope of the great Qian Empire, the last light of humanity, was going to be destroyed.
Shen lang and Jiang Li’s first battle seemed like they were going to lose completely. Even though Jiang Li did not appear and this was Shen Lang’s home field, Shen lang was going to lose.
The entire place fell into complete silence.
After a long while, Zuo Ci asked,”no one wants to kill me?” No one is going to kill me?”
Still, no one made a move.
“Brother Zhurong,” Zuo Ci said,”you do it.”
Zhu Rong didn’t move. He didn’t have the courage to make a move, and he also felt that he didn’t have the right to make a move.
general Zhang Zhao, ” Zuo Ci said. you’ve killed countless people. You’ll do it.
Zhang Zhao did not move. He slammed his fist into the ground, causing blood to flow out. All these years, he had always been silent. The world had always shone on his spirit, even if he had exhausted all his will to continue living.
“If you’re not willing to do it, does that mean I have to do it myself?” Pavilion master Zuo Ci asked. Yes, yes, you can.”
He slowly pulled out his sword.
“This bastard world, this damn world, goodbye, this world.”
Zuo Ci cried out in grief and was about to cut off his head.
His movements were extremely violent, as if he not only wanted to cut off his head, but also wanted to turn his body over and break his bones. He wanted his body to be completely destroyed because he felt that he was ugly and despicable.
However, in the next moment.
Zuo CI’s entire body was frozen. He couldn’t move at all.
Then, a figure slowly walked in.
No, it was two figures!
One was a real body that walked in from the outside. The other was a soul shadow, which came out of the control center of the image wall, from the hell soul Pearl.
His body and soul shadow kept getting closer and closer, and then they merged together, becoming a complete person.
This person was actually Shen lang.
H-didn’t he just turn into a fossil?
Wasn’t he already done for? However, it seemed that he was completely safe and sound.
Shen lang walked in front of Zuo Ci and sighed, ” “I don’t know who will win the battle between Jiang Li and me. However, I’ve already won the first game.”
Shen lang waved his hand.
Instantly, the outside became completely calm, and all the sand disappeared without a trace.
The terrible cold did not dissipate, but disappeared as if it had never existed.
As for the yellow sand that filled the sky, it was as if it was just an illusion. The few black shadows that had charged into the desert capital and the few air riders that had charged in had also disappeared without a trace.
Then, Shen lang raised his hand.
The hell soul Pearl flew out from the control center and lay quietly in Shen Lang’s palm.
It was as if the scene of it invading the control center had never happened.
It was as if the paralysis of the Mojing Control Center had never happened.
Of course, it had never happened.
Everything was Shen Lang’s plan.
