Seeing that Ye Li had been sealed and suppressed within the dragon vein, Liu Jie felt a sense of relief.
"I won. This guy, the Taiping Heavenly King, is now the only one who could possibly threaten me. He's no longer coming back."
Next, we will purge those rebels, and then, with the remaining troops in the capital, reclaim the empire that belongs to my Liu family!
Liu Jie looked around. Because the previous battle had been so intense, at least half of their capital city, which had been passed down through generations, had been reduced to ruins.
After all, the two sides involved in the war were indeed too strong. The fact that the capital was not completely razed to the ground was because Liu Jie was concerned about his own business and controlled the battlefield.
The Imperial Guards did not come over. They were strictly following the Emperor's orders and were still guarding the city walls, determined not to let the rebel army get any closer.
"I should rest for a bit. I feel a little dizzy. Is it because I'm too tired, or is the rushed transformation having some effect?"
Shaking its head, the black Yazi closed its eyes.
If Ye Li were here right now, he would understand what was wrong with this emperor.
It absorbs the power belonging to the dragon vein, and in doing so, it also absorbs the blood and evil energy that pollutes the dragon vein, as well as the resentment, into its body.
Previously, Ye Li's resentment was activated and he went berserk because of Prime Minister Li Zhi's illusion array.
Not to mention, they appeared in Liu Jie's life, the man he longed for day and night, the man he wished he could skin and eat alive.
In other words, Liu Jie's foundation is still good, and he hasn't reached the point of losing control yet.
However, with the constant influx of resentment, he's almost there too.
As for Ye Li?
Like Liu Jie, Ye Li also felt that he had won because he had found the possibility of turning the tide.
"This is it. No wonder there was always a sense of distance between us. You were brought here..."
Inside the dragon vein, Ye Li was temporarily unable to move due to the heavy pressure of the seal, but he could only feel at ease.
All around was a sea of blood, and you could see skeletal skulls swimming in it like fish.
Ye Li's body continued to sink, but he could not see the bottom of the sea of blood.
The scene before him did not frighten him; he tried his best to use his senses to call out to and respond to every resentment that existed there.
“I am here. I can hear your voices. I can understand your wronged souls. I can… avenge you.”
The reason he was sealed in without resistance was so that he could communicate with the millions of souls here.
At the same time, he also understood what the royal family's plan was.
"So that's how it is. Use the resentment of all living beings to seize the power of heaven and earth, and then use it to empower yourself to become a god?"
He didn't know how to evaluate this situation; he just felt a little amused.
"As emperors and rulers of a country, shouldn't your mission be to ensure that all people live in peace and prosperity and to make your country better?"
Using your people as sacrifices, and natural and man-made disasters as means, throwing those who trust you into the dragon vein—is it all just to gamble on an unrealistic transformation into a dragon?
How ridiculous! He had seen it clearly during the battle that Liu Jie's so-called dragon transformation was not successful at all.
The accumulated resentment will eventually turn the true dragon into a demonic dragon that only knows killing and destruction, and has no self-awareness.
An out-of-control dragon, with unparalleled power, will sweep across the world, causing widespread devastation and death.
Finally, they either die from exhaustion, commit suicide after going insane, or explode due to uncontrolled power.
"You can't let everyone win, but they did it, making the whole world losers."
He began to wonder, who was it that gave the royal family this idea, clearly intending to destroy the Liu family?
"No matter what, for the sake of those who are still alive outside, I cannot let this happen."
Those ordinary people who are still struggling to survive, those who hold onto hope.
