A hero suddenly appeared

1.

Qin Ruqing stood in front of the corpse of the Beast King, looking down at him, and found that the true prototype of the Beast King was the size of an ordinary beast.

Without the disguise of hugeness that symbolized power, his head full of pupils looked deformed and disgusting, and the extra claws were out of place on his body.

The Wolf King told her that only the Beast Kings of all generations knew the vital points of the Beast King and could really kill the Beast King. The

ancient Beast King therefore killed the current Beast King, stole his power, and attempted to truly revive, but by some strange coincidence, he died under an arrow with his own original aura. How could he not say that karma has its consequences?

After a moment of silence, Qin Ruqing took out the beast core from the corpse and returned to the blood array. Without anyone controlling it, the blood array was destroyed by the battle just now and had stopped functioning.

Qin Ruqing's eyes swept over her companions and carefully checked their wounds, making sure that the scene she had sensed before was not an illusion.

Her companions sacrificed their own strength just to fight for her a glimmer of life.

If it weren't for them, she might have really fallen asleep when she was pierced by the blood line. She

would never wake up again after this sleep.

Qin Ruqing squatted on one knee and said silently and solemnly: "Thank you."

Thank you.

After confirming everyone's condition, she picked up the small pink flower outside the blood array, and finally her eyes fell on Tang Zifeng's face.

His eyelashes drooped, and a layer of shadow covered his eyelids. His handsome face was stained with blood, and because he closed his eyes, he looked particularly well-behaved and quiet.

Qin Ruqing couldn't help but pause, at the moment of life and death... she heard Tang Zifeng calling her.

This should be due to the method of mind fusion that the two of them had practiced for some time.

She took Tang Zifeng's hand and touched a layer of thin silk generated by years of refining instruments. She rubbed it with nostalgia, and then put it down.

Everything is not over yet. Qin Ruqing told herself that she should hurry up and do more important things at the moment.

She glanced in the direction of Tianxing Mountain. The battle there should be over. He raised his hand, and his eyes calmly spread out a golden mist-like light, covering everyone.

- Return their power.

It is impossible to take back the power sacrificed by a normal self-damaged body without any cost, but with the power of chaos, the damage can be minimized.

The first one to wake up was Lu Wei. Medicine cultivators have long vitality. Lu Wei was just exhausted before. After Qin Ruqing returned the original power, Lu Wei naturally woke up.

She still looked very weak. When she saw Qin Ruqing, her eyes widened slightly, and her mouth opened, as if she wanted to say something.

Qin Ruqing held Lu Wei's hand and said, "Third sister, it's over."

"Is it over?" Lu Wei murmured in disbelief.

The dark red sky and the huge blood moon were indeed gone, but the war and the endless bloodshed... were they really over?

Lu Wei couldn't help but hold Qin Ruqing with both hands, and said hopefully: "Yes, the war is over?"

Qin Ruqing was silent for a moment.

She finally said in an affirmative tone: "Yes, it's over."

She would make it all end.

2.

The great battle outside Tianxing Mountain had just ended.

All the high-ranking human beings were covered in blood. Because of the heavy rain, their clothes were soaked into a dark red color by the rain and stuck tightly to their bodies. Feng Zun was still floating in the air and standing at the front, holding the sword in his dry hand, but the sword had been broken at the waist.

Her originally gray hair has now turned silver. Feng Qinxue behind her looked at her worriedly.

The beast army also suffered heavy casualties. Of the dozen demon kings, only five were still able to fight. The rest fell to the ground, either beheaded or with damaged beast cores, seriously injured.

"Do you still want to fight?" Even though Feng Zun was holding on, her voice was still sharp and clear.

She was talking to the beast tribe's united war wolf king.

The wolf king also looked very wolfish. One of his five eyes had a deep cut that could see the bone, as if it was injured by the ice sword energy. It has been bleeding until now and cannot heal.

"Fight, why not fight." In fact, the wolf king no longer wanted to fight at all.

He looked at the direction of Tianxing Mountain more and more frequently. There were repeated explosions there that made him feel nervous. He couldn't help wanting to go over and take a look, but he couldn't get away because of his identity as a United Front.

He was waiting for news.

Feng Zun Shang didn't understand the anxiety in the heart of the Wolf King. He shook the broken sword in his hand and took a step forward.

"Today, even if all of us humans die in battle, we will never take a step forward!"

The words were sonorous, and in fact he had already weighed it in his heart. If he risked his own explosion, he would have a chance to blow up all the remaining demon kings.

Feng Zun Shang's old eyes showed a trace of fatigue. She glanced at the direction of Tianxing Mountain through the rain... No news, no news is good news.

The human race has already produced outstanding and excellent people, and the death of an old thing like her will not be a big loss.

She turned her eyes back to the direction of the beastmen's demon kings, and her eyes had become sharp again. While examining, it seemed that she was measuring the best position for her to self-destruct. The spiritual energy in her body was already madly urging, ready to break through the soul palace and the meridians at any time...

Just when the clock of destruction was about to start, a white hand, steadily and powerfully placed on Feng Zun Shang's shoulder, instantly stopping all movements in her body.

"Thank you for your hard work, Your Excellency, leave the rest to me."

Feng Zun Shang's body froze for a moment, and a great shock surged in his heart. He vaguely knew who was behind him, but he didn't dare to look back.

It was as if the answer was standing behind her, and all the unresolved things would be resolved the moment she turned around.

Feng Zun took a deep breath, turned around calmly, and saw Qin Ruqing's smiling face.

She opened her mouth, but found that no sound came out. She moved her eyes down and saw that Qin Ruqing's other hand was naturally holding something, and blood was still dripping down.

The sight was fixed and enlarged: it was a head.

The head was already sticky, with an unknown sticky substance mixed with blood plasma. It was not difficult to see that the things under the blood plasma were eyes. Countless eyes had exploded, and those that had not exploded were staring in horror, with the whites of their eyes bulging out, and the pupils in the middle turned into a needle-like blood line, full of unwillingness and resentment, as if people would be greatly mentally polluted just by looking at it.

The person behind him trembled and asked the question that Feng Zun could not ask: "Commander...what is that?"

Qin Ruqing raised the head in his hand casually and smiled: "You are talking about this, the head of the ancient beast king."

The sound of rain suddenly increased, hitting the leaves in the forest, accompanied by a strong wind. All the human beings on the battlefield stared and turned their heads in this direction, unable to believe their ears.

Across the battlefield, four of the five remaining demon kings in the beast world shook their bodies violently, either breathing heavily or unable to stand steadily.

The only one who seemed to be able to hold his own was the Wolf King.

There was also shock in his eyes, but with a different kind of complexity.

The Wolf King certainly felt complicated. From the moment he saw that human holding that head and appearing on the battlefield, everything had been frozen.

The noisy roars of the beasts pulled the Wolf King out of his thoughts. It was the beasts who almost went crazy after hearing Qin Ruqing's words.

He had to step forward and speak:

"What she said is true."

"My emperor is dead." The Wolf King said sadly, word by word.

The other four demon kings looked at the Wolf King in shock, as if to say, what are you talking about!

Qin Ruqing smiled, threw the bloody head to the ground, and took out two light cores with his other hand.

Humans may not know what this light core is, but beastmen can tell it at a glance.

That is, the beast core. It is the core of the beast king with a strong bloodline and the pressure of the emperor.

The only problem is that one of the light cores is only half - it doesn't look like it is broken in half, but it seems to have only grown half.

Qin Ruqing held up the two light cores and said, "This one is complete, and you should be very familiar with its aura, so I won't say anything." This is the core of the current beast king who was killed.

"And this half-broken one comes from the ancient Beast King. He was the one who killed your current Beast King, and refined a new body in an attempt to revive. Now that his resurrection has been destroyed by me, the condensed light core is naturally only half."

"Nonsense!" The beast army couldn't believe it.

They roared at Qin Ruqing angrily, with overwhelming momentum, as if the whole army would pounce on her and tear her to pieces in the next second!

Qin Ruqing smiled contemptuously, not caring about this fragile threat, "Am I talking nonsense, or do you dare not believe it?"

"Don't you recognize the breath of your own son-king?"

From the moment she took out the beast core, no beast would dare to doubt her words. This is indisputable iron evidence!

"Even if it's true, so what!" Finally a demon king dared to admit it, he said angrily, "No matter whether it was the ancient beast emperor who killed our current emperor, they are all emperors of our clan, and you, destroyed the resurrection ceremony of my emperor. Just based on this, my beast iron cavalry army dares to destroy the human world in an instant and fight to the death with the human race!"

"Destroy the human world? Fight to the death?" Qin Ruqing was not angry at all, and even smiled, looking at the demon king with sadness, "It's rare that you are so loyal to your emperor...but does your emperor know?"

"You are thinking about your emperor, but your emperor only thinks about himself!" The voice was obviously not loud, but it was clearly echoed in every corner of the battlefield.

Before the demon king could find a word to refute, he saw Qin Ruqing's expression suddenly change. When all the beast soldiers were unable to react, he raised his hand instantly and set off a swift wind wave.

The entire beast army was facing a powerful enemy. Just as they were about to counterattack, they found that this wind wave did not have the intention of attacking, but just seemed to have lifted up some kind of curtain barrier.

A strange smell of blood rose to the sky when the wind wave disappeared. The beasts had a keen sense of smell, and they instinctively moved their noses, and their expressions suddenly changed.

Qin Ruqing's voice rang out at the right time:

"You know your own business. Where did the blood for the beastmen to build the blood pool come from? Why were the previous sacrificial activities so powerful that they could cause fundamental changes in ordinary beastmen... If you say that it is already a thing of the past, then this war has been started now. The purpose is to make you bleed, and we want the blood of both humans and beastmen."

"The blood array under your feet is the tomb that your emperor dug for you personally. He hopes that all of you will die here, and all die for him, so that you can serve as food for his resurrection!"

Qin Ruqing laughed deliberately and sarcastically!

She didn't need to say anything. Being blown away by the air wave and without cover, everyone found that there was a dense blood array under their feet, woven like a spider web.

The blood array seemed to have absorbed the soup and was still shining. They all had a unified source of convergence - Tianxing Mountain!

The beast warriors seemed to have suffered a huge blow, and some of them lay low on the ground, making painful howling sounds.

Only the Wolf King said nothing. He looked at Qin Ruqing and suddenly said:

"Young human, do you remember the agreement with me?"

The whole audience was shocked, including the human behind Qin Ruqing.

The Wolf King spit out something from his mouth. It was the photo stone that the human gave him when they negotiated peace. This photo stone did not help the human to negotiate successfully, and it should have lost its value, but the Wolf King used it to record a scene.

- That day, he talked with Qin Ruqing in the rain.

The wolf king activated the photo stone, and a voice came from it:

"I have one more condition... I want you to solve the problem of the fusion of the original laws of the two worlds. As long as the law issue is not resolved, the beasts will continue to pursue war and never stop!"

"I promise you."

In the picture, because of the heavy rain, Qin Ruqing's expression could not be seen clearly, but her voice could be heard to be particularly firm.

The wolf king nodded, as if he also admired the decisiveness of this human race's united front, but said: "Empty words are not enough. I need you to make a heavenly oath."

Before Qin Ruqing opened his mouth to respond, the wolf king emphasized, "It is not an ordinary heavenly oath, it is a heavenly oath that contracts the laws of the two worlds and unifies the rules."

Since knowing that the great way is incomplete and the unification of the laws of the two worlds is the true origin, how could the wolf king not be on guard.

He knew that Qin Ruqing was the descendant of chaos that the Beast King had tried so hard to find, the human being closest to the origin of the Great Dao! If they only used the laws of one world to swear an oath, if the Great Dao was flawed, with her magical abilities, she would most likely find a way to resolve it.

But the laws of the two worlds were different.

Qin Ruqing was equivalent to a contract with the real "Heavenly Dao". If she could find a way to crack it, it meant that even Heavenly Dao was on the side of the human race. If that was true, the Wolf King would accept it!

Qin Ruqing obviously knew the pros and cons of the matter and fell into silence.

Such silence seemed particularly long in the sound of rain.

But she still responded: "I promise you."

The senior human leaders on the battlefield saw this and clenched their fists anxiously.

Commander, you are confused! How can you make a contract with such a Heavenly Dao oath casually!

In the result screen, Qin Ruqing changed the subject, "But I'm not stupid. You think you can trick me into swearing an oath just because you helped me sneak into Tianxing Mountain? This is far from enough."

"The barrier of Tianxing Mountain will eventually be activated. It's just a matter of time."

The Wolf King looked annoyed and felt that he was being fooled. "Then why did you come to me?"

"Of course, I'm here to discuss real cooperation." Qin Ruqing smiled slightly in the rain, and at this moment his true intentions were revealed.

"If I succeed in killing the ancient beast king, the beast race will be leaderless, and I, the human race, would like you to be the new king!"

"At that time, the new king must promise in front of the two armies and even the people of the two worlds that the beast world will never invade the human race, and also sign the Heavenly Dao Origin Contract!"

"What do you think, my king?"

This time, the silent party became the wolf king. After a long time, his low voice rang out: "This king, I promise you."

The picture on the photo stone ended here.

At the Tianxing Mountain battlefield, Qin Ruqing looked at the wolf king: "Now that the ancient beast king is dead, does your promise still count?"

"This question should be asked by me."

At that time, they looked at each other and saw the determination to end everything urgently.

Qin Ruqing suddenly shouted, "Diwu Sheng, engrave the Book of Heaven and Earth! Song Minzheng, engrave the Origin Stone!"

The two who were called were stunned for a moment, and then they obeyed.

"In the 3175th year of Qianyuan, the supreme commanders of the two tribes swore an oath at Tianxing Mountain!"

Qin Ruqing used his finger as a blade, cut his wrist and made a blood contract. The blood did not dissipate, and turned into a blood line, communicating the rules of the two worlds.

The vast skylight led down and enveloped Qin Ruqing, and she spoke in a hoarse voice:

"The way of heaven is clear. The three armies of the human race and Qin Ruqing swear here!"

At the same time, tears of blood flowed from the largest pupil of the wolf king, and he also opened the blood contract of rules. The skylight led down and his deep voice rang out:

"The way of heaven is clear. The three armies of the human race and Qin Ruqing swear here!"

Qin Ruqing looked at the sky calmly and spoke word by word: "I will solve the issue of the fusion of the laws of the two worlds in my lifetime. The issue of the laws is not resolved, and the Taoism cannot be promoted. If anyone escapes, he will be struck by thousands of thunders and cannot enter the cycle of reincarnation!"

The wolf king took a deep breath and made a contract to cover him with a beam of light, without stopping and without speaking nonsense. He paused for a moment, and finally spoke:

"The beasts withdraw their troops. As the new emperor, I promise that I will never invade the human race while I am in power. If the original laws of the two worlds are successfully integrated, the human and beast races will be friends forever. If anyone disobeys, he will be devoured by all the beasts, his soul will be destroyed, and he will never be resurrected!"

As the two spoke, every word turned into golden runes, arranged into a deed, and spiraled up with the shrouded light disk, and finally disappeared.

When the skylight disappeared, the foot of Tianxing Mountain fell into unprecedented silence.

The wolf king looked at Qin Ruqing in a daze, confirming that from this moment on, an era ended,

and a new era began.

Qin Ruqing threw the beast core in his hand to the wolf king. With this, he could gain blood recognition and truly succeed to the throne.

Qingqian smiled and said, "Congratulations, Beast King. May the human race and the beast race be friends forever, as the contract says."

As the last word fell, the rain stopped and the wind ceased -

the war was over.

3.

After the battle that day, the army withdrew.

On the way back, there was some relaxation, but not much joy. It was as if the overly tense nerves suddenly relaxed, revealing a bewilderment.

Feng Mingyue and his party, who had fought with Qin Ruqing in Tianxing Mountain, were found and brought back. After being treated by doctors, they are no longer in danger. This no-major-harm means that their lives are not in danger.

They made a collective sacrifice that day. Although their strength was returned by Qin Ruqing afterwards, their bones were injured after all, and they need at least a few months of recuperation.

Now, perhaps sensing that the crisis has passed, they all fell into a deep sleep. The intense war requires a long rest for both the body and the mind.

When the army returned to the human world, the sky in the beast world also cleared up. Originally, the heavy rain was caused by the Beast King to collect the blood of the war. Now that the Beast King is dead, the rain will naturally stop, and the sky is rare and bright.

But is it really so?

In addition to a sigh of relief, the human race’s senior leaders felt more confused and guilty.

The oath of heaven on the battlefield that day fell into everyone’s heart, like a carefully prepared gift covered with dust, and the surprise was greatly reduced.

Qin Ruqing was not unaware of the hesitant expressions of those senior leaders looking at her. She sighed from time to time. If you didn't know, you would think that it was she who died in this battle instead of the Beast King.

"Just say whatever you want to say." Qin Ruqing said as she gently stroked the gap in the barrier while watching the soldiers evacuate.

She felt that if she didn't let Diwu Sheng speak, he would suffocate to death.

"Commander, what on earth do you think?" As soon as Qin Ruqing said this, Diwu Sheng asked this question immediately, as if he had prepared the question countless times in his mind and couldn't wait even a second. "What

I think, didn't I say it on the battlefield?" She smiled lightly, "What I said, I will do."

"Then are you sure you can integrate the original law?" Diwu Sheng asked this question even softer, as if he was afraid of exposing it or disturbing something.

"No." Qin Ruqing replied straightforwardly with a calm smile, "I'm not sure at all."

These words almost scared Diwu Sheng to death. He widened his eyes and almost couldn't help but say - "Then how dare you make such a vow!"

Respect for Qin Ruqing made him hold back. With a turn of his eyes, he began to actively give Qin Ruqing advice, "In fact, this kind of oath of heaven is not impossible to circumvent... Others may not be able to do it, but you are the descendant of the Taoist ancestor. As long as you want, there must be a way!"

"So what if he admitted it in front of thousands of troops? The Beast King is dead anyway. They also need to recuperate after the war. They will not be able to make a big wave in a short time. At least it will be better than before. So let's just drag it out!" At the end, Diwu Sheng's cheeks flushed, and he looked indignant.

Qin Ruqing glanced at him, and suddenly felt that this old man was adorable.

She deliberately said in a relaxed tone: "You are right~"

Diwu Sheng was inevitably happy, "Commander, you finally figured it out!"

Promises are promises, but when the Beast King is dead, there is really no need to sacrifice himself!

Qin Ruqing nodded solemnly, "I'm not stupid. I left some room when I swore. I said that as long as the law is not resolved, the Tao will not be able to advance... I'm almost at the top now. Is chaos so easy to cultivate? If you can't advance, then don't advance. I also said later that if you try to escape, you will be struck by lightning... Hey, I didn't set a time limit. If I put it off for a year, is it considered escaping? How many years do I have to wait to do it?"

"Look, there's a lot of room for maneuver here!"

Diwu Sheng nodded repeatedly, "Commander, that's right!"

The people who were eavesdropping on the situation here also nodded. In the end, they couldn't help but gather around and began to express their opinions.

The general idea is: Just deal with this kind of promise. The commander doesn't need to be too serious. If he is, he will lose.

Qin Ruqing just kept nodding, and said that when they returned to the human world, they would have a big banquet to celebrate. At least the war was over for now, and the price paid by the human race was acceptable. This was a great victory, and they should celebrate.

The shadows in these people's hearts disappeared in a few words from Qin Ruqing, and they finally showed their joy.

Only the experienced Feng Zun saw the clues and sighed deeply in his heart.

When the team had completely retreated and boarded the flying boat, everyone was already feasting and resting, and Feng Zun found Qin Ruqing who was enjoying the breeze on the deck.

"Is it worth it?" Standing behind Qin Ruqing, Feng Zun said without any context.

She had her hands behind her back, wearing only a simple Taoist robe with a slanting collar. She no longer looked capable and strong. Without the halo of her status and her past glory, Feng Zun Shang now looked like a frail and old woman.

Qin Ruqing turned around and saw Feng Zun Shang, and was not surprised. She smiled and asked back, "You only have two years left to live because of this war. Is it worth it?"

"I'm old. I should have died a long time ago. It makes no difference whether I die early or late." Feng Zun looked at Qin Ruqing deeply, his eyes, which had been sharp for a lifetime, were still clear. "But you are different, you are still young. You are the rising sun, and it is a good time for you. You really don't have to do so for the human race."

"I haven't thought about it yet." As if feeling that the atmosphere was too serious, Qin Ruqing deliberately softened his tone. "What I said to the fifth patriarch before was not a lie, and I am not stupid. I deliberately left loopholes in the oath. You still need to think about the details and whether you want to do it."

"You should think about it carefully." Feng Zun said majestically.

She had gone through a long period of baptism and had reached an age where she could be tolerant and look at any matter.

She said to Qin Ruqing: "Not all problems need to be solved. Some problems may not be solvable."

"The conflicts and disputes between the human race and the beast race broke out in this generation, which means that they had been accumulating strength before, but it has reached the point where it can no longer be tolerated. Now, you have killed the Beast King. Even if the new Beast King takes the throne and becomes powerful, it will take a hundred years. Moreover, he has also made a vow that at least during the reign of the Wolf King, the two races of humans and beasts will be safe."

"In that case, why not just live like this. Maybe after a few hundred years, things will turn around, and maybe the burden on you can be transferred to the newcomer?"

Feng Zun's words were truly sincere and from the bottom of his heart.

Qin Ruqing listened carefully, nodded, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will think about your words carefully."

Qin Ruqing has always shown a "relaxed" and "I am sure" attitude to the outside world, and gradually everyone believed it.

I believe that under the Heavenly Dao oath signed by the two worlds, she can also find loopholes and protect herself.

There is no other reason, this is simply in line with Qin Ruqing's style-no plan will be left unplanned, and there will be no time to suffer losses. The heads of the aristocratic families who are now as obedient as kittens under her have all fallen into her hands in the past.

What's so surprising about the commander's unimaginable miracles?

Didn't the ancient beast king die in her hands? The daughter of chaos, who is the origin of the Great Dao, can escape the constraints of the Heavenly Dao oath, so why can't she?

Almost everyone believes in the miracles that Miracle Qingqing has always created.

Only one person——

4.

Qin Ruqing returned to the Qin family. These days, she likes to stay by the sea and listen to the sound of the waves. Sometimes she lies on the rocks for a whole day.

She felt unprecedented peace. It was rare that her mind was empty and she didn't want to think about where she came from or where she was going.

The sea is pure, so Qin Ruqing noticed it immediately after the sound of the waves mixed with the sound of footsteps. She didn't move either, and felt that someone had fallen on the reef where she was lying.

Looking over, it was Tang Zifeng.

He was one of the people with the most serious injuries. After this period of recuperation, he was able to get up and walk. Now he came over with a pale face and obvious illness.

Qin Ruqing straightened up with her knees propped up, "Are you feeling better? Does the wound still hurt?"

Tang Zifeng stopped there, his eyes as sharp as ink, looking at her deeply, "Why?"

"Why why?" Qin Ruqing pretended not to know and smiled.

"Why did you make that vow, why did you do this?"

Everyone who saw her during this period would ask this question. Their expressions were also very consistent, that is, they were happy at first and then sighed, and they wanted to say something but stopped, as if they wanted to say it but didn't dare. Not to mention the communication stone, it was directly blown up.

Qin Ruqing simply ignored everyone and found the most secluded and remote island reef, lying there all day.

Now Tang Zifeng also came to ask... But Xiao Tang was still different. Qin Ruqing was more serious and didn't perfunctory like she did to others. He casually raised his legs, pondered for a while, and said in a relaxed tone:

"Hey, you know, the situation was critical at that time, and I had to use ruthless force to shock the wolf king."

"The wolf king is not important. At the beginning, you and him were just taking what you needed. You had countless opportunities to turn back, but why did you force yourself to this point step by step?" Tang Zifeng's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate people's hearts.

He is always like this, calm and reserved is ultimately an appearance, under the deep sea, there are surging waves and hidden mysteries.

"Well, you also participated in the war. You know that both sides have been fighting to a point where they are at a loss of breath. In this situation, it is not possible to stop it by killing a Beast King. It might even have the opposite effect and drive the beastmen crazy. Both sides need to calm down their overheated heads, so I proposed to solve the problem of the original laws of the two worlds."

Qin Ruqing looked at Tang Zifeng gently and said lightly, "You know, someone has to do this eventually..."

"Why you!"

"Why you!"

"Anyone can do this! It has been delayed for so long, for so many ages, and so many sages couldn't solve it. What's the harm in delaying it again!"

Tang Zifeng spoke quickly and sharply. He lost his usual calmness. His eyes were red and his face was extremely pale. It was the first time that he spoke to Qin Ruqing in such a serious tone, but his eyes were full of pleading.

Qin Ruqing looked at Tang Zifeng in surprise, and changed the subject naturally: "Xiao Tang, you look very beautiful with red eyes."

Tang Zifeng was stunned, and his anger inexplicably subsided a little.

Qin Ruqing continued to change the subject: "Although I returned the power to you later, it was ultimately damaged. How is your natal bell now? Can it still be condensed? Summon it and let me see~"

Qin Ruqing's thoughts swayed from east to west. Tang Zifeng could even think of it, and she was not deliberately changing the subject, she just suddenly thought of it. It was so natural and simple to ask when you thought of it. He

shifted his eyes, a little helpless, a little angry, but still followed her wishes and summoned the bell.

It was small and exquisite, jade-green, and quietly suspended above Tang Zifeng's palm.

"Hey, I remember the clock was bronze-green? There was a lotus pattern on it!" Xiao Tang had carved the lotus pattern all over it, and she was very satisfied with it. How come it's gone now?

"It was injured, and now it's back to its original state. The coating and engraving will have to wait until I recover a little before they can be restored slowly." Tang Zifeng said sullenly.

"Oh!" Qin Ruqing suddenly realized and smiled, which means that the clock is still in its "plain" state. It's a bit cute.

She couldn't help but touch the small jade-colored clock with her hand. Tang Zifeng's face turned strange, and his lips moved unnaturally, trying to remind her that this bell was connected to his life, and touching it like this was equivalent to...

Qin Ruqing suddenly said, "I do this not for anyone, but for myself."

Tang Zifeng's wandering thoughts were instantly pulled back, and he frowned.

The sea surface was sparkling, like scattered gold. Qin Ruqing's voice was brisk and distant with the sea breeze.

"Sometimes I think I'm great, but most of the time I feel insignificant. The greater I am, the smaller I feel."

"The sky is too high and I can't reach it. Many times, I just want to be an ordinary genius, enjoy flowers and applause, gain a certain status and power by my own strength, and live freely and happily."

"I thought I was like this, but later I found out that I'm not. Or rather, more than that."

"When I stood at the top, I was restrained in many ways, but it was not entirely painful. At the same time, I felt wanton, breathing freely, and everything was under control." Qin Ruqing closed his eyes slightly, as if he was feeling and recalling, or simply narrating.

She gently raised one hand, and the crystal light refracted from the sea surface shone through the gaps between her fingers. "I can touch the sky when I raise my hand and look at the sea when I lower my head. I travel between heaven and earth, which is another level of freedom."

"Of course I feel pressure. But this pressure comes with the altitude. I can't just enjoy the vision brought by the altitude and escape its due responsibilities."

"And," Qin Ruqing tilted her head and looked at Tang Zifeng with a hint of relief in her eyes, as if she had become clear and firm about something in such a self-talk.

"...and I've suffered so much, I've walked between life and death countless times. I'm worthy of my family, worthy of the human world, worthy of everyone."

"I've always been doing what a hero should do. Now the time has come, I've even killed the Beast King, but because I escaped from one thing, all my past efforts may be in vain..." He paused, his expression became angry,

"--How much of a loss am I? How could I, the miracle Qingqing, do such a loss-making thing?"

This anger suddenly broke the serious atmosphere just now, revealing the cheerfulness that belonged to Qin Ruqing alone.

Even Tang Zifeng couldn't help laughing, but under his smile was deep thought. He knew that Qingqing's words just now were not a joke.

Not for anyone, just for himself-not to let himself fail in something he had worked hard for so long with just one word.

Qin Ruqing stared at the boundless sea, her face full of memories: "In the sixth domain, I asked Daozu about the choice of the human race and my choice. Daozu asked me in return, genius or hero, how should I choose."

"I avoided it at that time. Because I always felt in my subconscious that the theme of heroes was too grand and too high, and I felt that I couldn't bear it."

"But later, in the bloodshed, between life and death, I suddenly realized that there has never been a choice between genius and hero."

Qin Ruqing turned her head and smiled at Tang Zifeng, the brilliance in her eyes almost stunning the world.

She whispered: "Genius is. Hero, I am too."

When she was about to die, the "Qin Ruqing" in her previous life hugged her.

Why do I always feel insignificant

? Because in her previous life, Qin Ruqing just wanted to be an insignificant person and be at ease.

Why do I feel so strong?

Because in this life, she is already a strong person.

One of them is in front, and the other is behind.

They are both walking on the same road.

"So, you ask me why?" Qin Ruqing stood up and looked at Tang Zifeng against the light.

She smiled, her tone was heroic, with pride and determination.

"Because this generation of human beings needs a hero who will come out of nowhere and save the human race from danger."

"That person has long been destined. Her surname is Qin and her name is Ruqing!"
