“Lin Che!!”

There was a hint of exhaustion in Jiang Li's voice. She opened her eyes wide, but they became increasingly blurry, as if covered by a layer of mist.

The room was ablaze with colors because of the explosion of the Phoenix Blood Covenant.

Many memorials on the table were blown to the ground by the strong wind.

Tick-tock.

Blood dripped from Lin Che's hand onto the ground, leaving a scarlet stain. But the area on his chest was even scarier, and the wound was extremely hideous.

But Lin Che seemed to feel no pain and just stood there straight.

Jiang Li's chest heaved, and all kinds of emotions surged into her heart. She could clearly feel that the Phoenix Blood Contract in her body was slowly dissipating.

From now on, Lin Che's words were no longer orders.

She is completely free!

However, she was not happy at all. Instead, her heart was in unspeakable pain, as if a sharp knife was cutting through her internal organs one by one.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave!"

Lin Che didn't have time to wipe the bloodstains. He bowed and turned to leave.

Jiang Li watched him walk out step by step. She subconsciously took a few steps forward, wanting to keep Lin Che.

But why should she stay?

She had already made her decision long ago. When she chose not to break through to the eighth rank, when she headed for the Great Wall of Fortune, when she agreed to the royal family's sacrifice to revive the Yuan Hei Emperor.

She has already made her decision!

She just felt very aggrieved, because Lin Che was obviously the person who understood her the most in the world.

Why was Lin Che so angry?

“Lin Che!!!”

"You should know that I am the Great Emperor. I am not alone. If I were just a young lady from a large family, an ordinary commoner..."

Lin Che broke the restraining force of the house with one hand, stepped out, and responded calmly:

"So? Hasn't Your Majesty already made up his mind? It's me, your humble servant, who is so naive!"

As soon as the door opened, Dao Nu and others were outside.

They were shocked to see Lin Che walking out covered in blood. Then they looked into the room and saw Jiang Li standing there, looking pitiful and tearful.

Although they didn't know what was happening, they all made way.

Lin Che walked forward step by step, his figure seemed a little more hunched than before, and even a little lonely.

Jiang Li's choked, yet clear voice rang out. She seemed to have exhausted all her strength to shout, fearing that Lin Che, who was walking far ahead, wouldn't hear.

"Five thousand years ago! The human race and the myriad demons stained the mountains and rivers with blood. The demons from outside the domain slaughtered the human race like straw dogs! The human race was forced to cross the winter border and come to Dagan."

"Two thousand years ago! The First Emperor built the Great Wall of Fortune to defend against the demons from beyond his domain. Every brick and stone is stained with the emperor's blood and buried with the bones of his soldiers!"

"Six hundred years ago! The demon passed through and slaughtered thirty cities in the Western Regions in one day! The Great Gan Empire fell apart! Millions of souls wailed every night!"

"Three hundred years ago! Twelve generations of emperors fed their souls to the cauldron, forging a ray of national destiny! Above, the eight gates of the Divine Palace are causing trouble, and below, rebellions are raging on the borders, disrupting our land!"

"Seventy years ago! The demons from outer space once again crossed the Great Wall of Fortune and massacred over 400,000 soldiers of the Great Wall! Thousands of people became their followers, starving themselves to death for Buddhism!"

"Thirteen years ago! The Buddhist disciple went to Tiandu City and persuaded the emperor to rebel, slaughtering the palace in one night!"

"A blood feud! Unspeakable!!!"

Jiang Li shouted loudly, tears streaming down her face. Doesn't she want to have a love affair?

The princes of Dagan died or retired one after another, but a princess like her had to sit on this position.

Doesn't she know the ending?

But she is a royal family!

She is the ruler of a country!!!

You can only choose one between all the people in the world and your children’s love!

"Five thousand years of hard work—I can't let it go!!"

"Thousands of years of hard work—who can let it go?!?"

Jiang Li's hoarse voice spread far away and echoed in this towering Great Wall of Destiny.

The shadow guards at the door were all stunned where they were. Their scalps went numb when they heard what Jiang Li shouted.

At the same time, everyone's eyes revealed an extremely complex look, which was admiration, awe, and deep sympathy and pity.

Is it a joke to deal with the extraterritorial demon that has suppressed Dagan for two thousand years?

How could she abandon the plan that had lasted for hundreds of years just because of her children's personal affairs?

She was an empress, but she could not truly control her own destiny.

After Jiang Li shouted the last sentence, he seemed to have lost all his strength. He slowly squatted down, hugged his arms with both hands, buried his head deeply... his body trembled slightly.

A shadow guard wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by the knife slave.

Dao Nu knew Jiang Li's temper, and at this moment, no one could comfort her.

Dao Nu closed the door gently.

The other Shadow Guards, half-comprehending, whispered, "Chief, what's wrong with His Majesty? Did he have an argument with King Yanyun?"

"Yes, King Yanyun is covered in blood. I think he's seriously injured."

Dao Nu looked at the closed door, then looked back, but Lin Che was no longer there.

She sighed deeply, and she didn't seem to know how to explain it, so she asked back:

"When you were little, did you ever want to eat candy, but your parents wouldn't buy it for you?"

"Of course."

"Now, they just want to eat a very sweet candy, but they can't buy it."
