Kou'er wanted to say something, but Hua Rong had already crushed the inner core in her hand.

"Rongrong!"

Kou'er's eyes widened, and he reached out, trying to catch the dissipating fluorescence of the inner core.

Hua Rong grabbed his hand and shook his head: "Kou Er, I can't live anymore."

Kou Er shook his head, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"I won't let you go."

Hua Rong looked at him and felt that the original owner of this body had committed a terrible sin.

Kou'er has been raised too innocently by her; she only has a cold and aloof appearance.

Hua Rong wanted to say something more, but his gaze suddenly sharpened.

A black light rushed towards her from afar, and the next moment, she felt as if thousands of ants were tearing at her body.

It doesn't hurt.

It's so itchy!

"grass!"

Hua Rong, who never swore, used profanity for the first time.

Consciousness detaches before returning to the void.

She looked down and saw a shattered landscape...

They witnessed the dying dragon vein using its last strength to devour a weasel spirit, thus regaining its vitality...

I saw the former Western Shang royal palace, still shrouded in a dim dragon aura...

She seemed to understand the trap that Di Bing had set for Gongsun Ming.

【postscript】

In a university classroom.

The professor said in a somewhat complicated tone, "That great monarch who was the first to recognize the hidden dangers of the hereditary succession system was somewhat immoral."

One of the students, who admired the last king of the Western Shang Dynasty, Prince Yong'an Di Bing, angrily retorted: "How was Prince Yong'an immoral?! Professor, don't talk nonsense."

The professor looked at the indignant student and saw a reflection of his younger self.

Without saying much, he projected a bamboo slip onto the screen behind him.

The student clearly recognized the Western Shang script and said, word by word, "If hereditary succession is not abolished, the country will still perish."

He fell silent after speaking.

That's a provocation, isn't it?

So, Gongsun Gaozu of the Wu Dynasty did not abolish hereditary succession, and the Wu Dynasty perished after only eighty years?
