return
The voice wasn't loud, but it was like an invisible hammer, slamming down hard on the prince's soul! His struggle to get up suddenly froze, and another mouthful of golden blood spilled from the corner of his lips. He looked at the figure slowly walking out of the ancient palace, his eyes filled with horror, resentment, and a hint of fear that he himself was unwilling to admit...
It was no longer the residual soul and filth under Yinglong's protection, nor was it the core with only instincts before!
This is a complete existence with unimaginable power!
The depth and vastness of his aura made even this dignified Crown Prince of the Heavenly Emperor feel his own godhead tremble! Especially those two ethereal eyes, the left eye of annihilation, the right eye of chaos, as if they could determine his life or death, and sentence him to reincarnation with a single glance!
"You... who the hell are you?!" The prince's voice was hoarse and trembling uncontrollably.
The newly born "Ao Guang" didn't answer. He didn't even glance at the prince, as if the other's existence was no different from the dust in this dark place.
His gaze fell on Yinglong, who was standing beside him with a pale face and complicated eyes.
Those empty eyes remained icy cold, yet within their deepest depths, a subtle, elusive ripple seemed to flicker. Was it confirmation? Familiarity? Or... something else?
Yinglong also looked at him, his heart in turmoil.
Success?
Was he really "back"... in such a way that she could never have expected?
He was no longer the crazy and desperate Dragon King, nor was he the core that she needed to guard carefully. Instead, he was a completely new individual that integrated all his past, yet was completely different.
He possessed Ao Guang's dragon soul origin, her war god's blood, the law of the Xuanjia of Annihilation, and even... that drop of legendary primordial water!
What is he now?
Ao Guang slowly raised his hand, not pointing it at the Crown Prince, but pressing it lightly against his own chest. There, a faint phantom pain of being pierced by the Burning Silence Sword lingered, as well as... the mark of this woman before him, who had used her essence and blood to rebuild his foundation and endure the Netherworld's death together with him...
He spoke again, his voice still cold, but no longer indifferent as when he faced the Crown Prince. Instead, it carried a certainty as if stating a fact:
"You saved me, protected me, and gave me a new life."
He paused, and those empty eyes seemed to penetrate time, seeing the thousand years of loneliness at the bottom of the East China Sea, the determination of the sword piercing the heart in front of the Yaochi, and also seeing her guarding in this underworld, where she was on the verge of collapse time and time again but never gave up.
"All the past, all the foolish obsessions, have vanished like smoke."
These words made Yinglong's heart tighten. He... let it go? Let go of the thousand-year-long obsession? Let go of the madness and destruction caused by her?
However, his next words made her look up suddenly, her eyes full of disbelief!
"But the cause and effect haven't been resolved, and the bond has been formed."
For the first time, his gaze fell on Yinglong's face so clearly and directly, and two deep flames were faintly burning in those empty eyes!
"Today, I will use this netherworld as a witness, and my reshaped body as proof—"
He suddenly raised his hand, pointing to the leaden sky, to the endless swirling gray fog. His voice suddenly rose, carrying an unquestionable, declarative determination:
"Yinglong! You will be my bride!"
"No more dreams, no more wishful thinking! It's right here, right now!"
"Heaven and earth are witnesses, and the netherworld is our matchmaker! If you are unwilling—"
His voice suddenly turned cold, and the chaotic vortex in his right eye suddenly accelerated. The terrifying aura of annihilation and chaos around him exploded, sweeping in all directions! The entire underworld wailed and trembled under his breath!
"—I will defy the heavens, shatter the earth, and let the three realms and six paths be buried with you and me!"
Domineering! Crazy! Unyielding!
No questions, no discussions, only the final ultimatum!
Or, complete the wedding that has been delayed for a thousand years and lingered for a thousand years.
Or, drag the whole world into extinction together!
Yinglong was completely stunned, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him, listening to his "oath" which was even more paranoid and terrifying than a thousand years ago. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
The seriously injured prince in the distance was furious when he heard this and roared, "Arrogant devil! How dare you blaspheme the God of War in Heaven! I will use all the power of Heaven to..."
"Noisy."
"Ao Guang" didn't even look back, but just casually flicked his sleeves.
An invisible force containing the origin of extinction seemed to have crossed space and acted on the prince in an instant!
"puff--!"
The prince's words came to an abrupt end, and the divine light protecting his body shattered again. He was like being hit by an invisible giant hammer, blood spurting out. His body flew backwards uncontrollably, and in an instant he turned into a point of light and disappeared into the depths of the dark gray fog. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead!
After casually brushing the prince away, "Ao Guang"'s gaze fell on Yinglong again, with a sense of absolute control and determination to win.
"Your answer?"
The underworld was dead silent, with only the despairing aura around him silently spreading and oppressing every nerve of Yinglong.
After countless twists and turns, and entanglements of cause and effect, in the end... we return to this original obsession.
But this time, she faced an even more terrifying and irresistible... "Ao Guang".
The wedding invitation, with the entire Three Realms at stake, was handed to her again.
How should she choose?
