Apocalypse survivor Xu Jinhuan transmigrates into the body of an unloved true heiress. Expecting a satisfying revenge story against her family, she instead finds her adoptive father has backed the ...
Upon hearing this, System Xiao Wang felt both moved and saddened, and it cried out.
[Host, sob sob, Xiao Wang doesn't want to leave you! I'll go ask if I can give up the "First System" and instead stay here with you!]
After saying that, before Xu Jinhuan could reply, System Xiao Wang disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, Xu Jinhuan could only sigh helplessly and turn his gaze back to the battlefield where the battle had just taken place.
"Jin Huan, how are you?" Zhou Ziheng rushed over and carefully examined Xu Jin Huan's outer clothes. He breathed a sigh of relief only after seeing that there was no blood.
Xu Jinhuan replied with a smile, "I'm fine, I've already taken care of that guy."
Zhou Ziheng seemed to have thought of something and asked, "Jin Huan, then will you become the new Heavenly Dao from now on?"
Xu Jinhuan smiled and shook his head after hearing this, "A person with the seven emotions and six desires cannot become the Heavenly Way."
Zhou Ziheng recalled what the false Heavenly Dao had said and asked in confusion, "He said before that if he killed you and me, he could become the new Heavenly Dao."
Xu Jinhuan scoffed at the already dead pseudo-Heavenly Dao, "That was just wishful thinking on his part. According to the information I received, he wasn't some Heavenly Dao reserve, but rather a nanny protecting the new Heavenly Dao."
"A nanny?!" Zhou Ziheng looked at Xu Jinhuan in surprise.
Xu Jinhuan nodded with a smile, "To be precise, he didn't even become a nanny; he can only be considered a nanny trainee."
The will of the world tasked him with guarding the new Heavenly Dao, and after the new Heavenly Dao was born, it helped him control the power.
However, he harbored delusions and, taking advantage of the new Heavenly Dao's infancy, controlled it and secretly stole the world's primordial energy, thus causing chaos in the world.
Zhou Ziheng nodded upon hearing this. "I see. Does that mean you are now..."
Xu Jinhuan nodded with a bitter smile, "That's right, I am now that nanny, and I expect to be a nanny for at least a hundred or two hundred years. The new Heavenly Dao is very young, and it has been locked up by that trash for hundreds of years. It needs to recover slowly."
Zhou Ziheng looked at Xu Jinhuan with a nervous expression, "Jinhuan, does that mean you're going up there?"
Xu Jinhuan saw him point to the sky and shook his head with amusement. "No need. This poor child has been imprisoned for hundreds of years. It's time for him to see the world. Don't you think so, Xiao Lei?"
As soon as Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, a tiny bolt of lightning shot out from her hair, nodding in the direction of its head.
"The boss is right. I want to see the whole continent and see if it's the same as what I saw from the sky!"
Zhou Ziheng looked at the wisp of lightning, then at Xu Jinhuan, and asked in shock, "Is this the new Heavenly Dao?"
Xu Jinhuan nodded helplessly. She herself hadn't expected that the lightning minion she casually took in was actually a wisp of the soul that the New Heavenly Dao had separated to survive when it was being controlled.
All she wants to do right now is sing a song: "This world is too crazy, a mouse is a bridesmaid for a cat!"
Just then, all those who had been summoned by the false Heavenly Dao regained consciousness, and Xu Jinhuan subconsciously made herself and Zhou Ziheng invisible.
"Where am I? How did I get here?"
"Huh? How did I get hurt?"
"How come there are still dead people here?"
They stared at each other, bewildered, and then, in a strange exchange of glances, they reached a consensus: to leave this place quickly and completely forget about it.
Soon, apart from the corpses on the ground, there was only one person left. He squatted down and examined the identities of the corpses, as if trying to find out the truth.
"No worries." Zhou Ziheng and Xu Jinhuan revealed themselves.
Upon hearing this, Wuyou looked at Zhou Ziheng with delight, "Master, I knew you were alright!"
Wuyou was the only one among them who managed to break free from control for a while and remember some minor details.
Therefore, the reason he had examined the place so carefully was simply to confirm that the person lying on the ground was not his master.
Zhou Ziheng gently patted Wuyou's shoulder, "We're all fine, let's go back to the capital."
Wuyou nodded, "Master, you should go back first. I still have some things to do."
After saying that, Wuyou began to gather the corpses together, seemingly preparing to destroy the evidence.
Seeing his skillful movements, Xu Jinhuan figured he didn't need her help, so she returned to the capital with Zhou Ziheng first.
After all, there are more important things to do now. The original plans are no longer suitable for the current situation and need to be rearranged.
The two soon arrived at Deyilou.
Zhou Ziheng poured Xu Jinhuan a cup of her favorite pre-rain Longjing tea and asked with a smile, "Jinhuan, now that your power is unparalleled in the world, do you still want to unify the continent?"
Xu Jinhuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Of course I want to. I've never been an emperor before, so I must try."
Zhou Ziheng loved Xu Jinhuan's smile the most. He gently rubbed his fingers and said, "Then we can revise our plan."
Upon hearing this, Xu Jinhuan looked at Zhou Ziheng curiously, "What are your thoughts?"
Zhou Ziheng smiled and uttered four large words: "Divine Right of Kings!"
After saying that, he pointed to the wisp of lightning still crackling in Xu Jinhuan's hair, "What could be more intimidating than this lightning?"
Then, smiling at Xu Jinhuan, he said, "What god in one's heart could be more popular than the benevolent god Jinhuan?"
Xu Jinhuan nodded in agreement, and he and Zhou Ziheng exchanged a knowing smile. In the midst of their conversation, they decided on the final格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) of the entire continent.
"If that's the case, let's start by taking action against that dog emperor!" Xu Jinhuan said excitedly.
Back then, she had barely had a day to enjoy the good fortune before this dog emperor captured her and exiled her. Now it's time for him to taste the bitterness again.
Before he dies from the slow-acting poison, we should make use of him!
Zhou Ziheng naturally didn't find anything wrong with it; in his mind, as long as it was something he enjoyed doing, it must be right.
The two arrived at the palace without concealing themselves, and passed through the palace gates openly. As for those who tried to block their way, they were all knocked unconscious by Xu Jinhuan with a flick of his sleeve.
As for why Xu Jinhuan didn't kill him, these guys would be her subordinates from now on, and she could just order them to clean the chamber pots and empty the chamber pots. If they died now, wouldn't it be a waste?
After noticing the anomaly, a guard captain grabbed his sword and shouted.
"Who are you? This is the imperial palace, not a place where you can come and go as you please! Guards, seize them and do nothing!"
With a casual flick of his sleeve, Xu Jinhuan decapitated the leader, his blood splattering all over the faces of the surrounding guards.
As for why he was killed, it can only be blamed on his bad luck; he became the chicken that Xu Jinhuan used as a warning to others.
Sure enough, when the guards saw their commander killed, their hands holding swords began to tremble, and they dared not take a step forward.
In the guard's mind, only a fool would continue. The commander died with a flick of the woman's sleeve. Who knows if he would be the one to die if she flicked her sleeve again!
