When Shen Wuyou returned to the room, she found that her hands and feet were icy cold.
She set up a barrier, picked up the jade token, and input spiritual power.
The call was connected instantly, and Bai Yumo's smug little face suddenly appeared in front of her. Her voice was clear and pleasant, like an oriole's—
"Well, my acting is pretty good, right? Hehe, those people have already been settled, just waiting for you -... Wuyou, what's wrong with you?!"
She saw Shen Wuyou's pale face, completely drained of blood, and his lifeless eyes were still trembling...
She opened her mouth and said in a hoarse voice: "Long Chujun...is dead..."
"What? Who did you say died?" Bai Yumo suspected there was something wrong with her ears.
How could the Phoenix Power Kingdom, which was at its peak of power, and the Lord Long Chu, who swept through thousands of troops, be able to do anything to her with just a few Zerg monsters?
However, Shen Wuyou's mournful and gloomy expression didn't seem to be a lie: "Long Yu appeared, Jun Ling came, they are all dead, Long Chujun chose his people and sacrificed their souls, leaving no remains... I... can't be resurrected..."
She did her best to protect the humans. With the Zerg's lair destroyed, Hunyuan was bound to be restless. A counterattack was within her expectations. But she hadn't imagined he would be so ruthless as to use humans as bait to nourish the Zerg eggs.
What was even more unexpected was that Long Chujun would actually sacrifice himself and die without even a trace of blood or flesh left behind.
Her rain of prayers can resurrect damaged bodies to the greatest extent possible. If the soul is immortal but still sealed within the body, her heart's blood can also save the deceased soul and minimize casualties.
but...
Human power will eventually run out...
She really tried her best.
"Tell Long Aojun to go back quickly. If it's too late, the Huangquan Kingdom will be destroyed.
"Also, the middle of July is the key. The action must be taken on that day."
She heard the sudden sound of porcelain falling to the ground, followed by a flurry of footsteps and concerned calls. Then, all sounds stopped abruptly, the images disappeared, and the jade plate dimmed.
It’s so cold...
She huddled in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees and curling up into a ball.
She didn't understand. It was clearly the death of countless human beings. Such cruel and bloody scenes, such heartbreaking wails, made people tremble in their hearts...
But why didn't she feel anything?
The heart is calm.
She could feel it beating in an incredibly regular rhythm. Watching the bloody scenes of slaughter, the tragic deaths of the elderly, children, women, and young women, she felt that even if it was a stranger who died so tragically in front of her, she would be moved and saddened...
But, no.
She was so calm.
It was so calm, as if I was looking at a painting with light clouds and breeze, without a single ripple in my heart.
She reached out and placed her cold palm on her chest. This was the first time she felt so cold-blooded, so...ruthless.
When Long Chujun burned himself to death and transformed into his true form of Suzaku, she was still thinking so rationally about the next plan.
She successfully angered Hunyuan because she felt that her emotions should have fluctuated at that time.
It's human nature, isn't it?
Later, he succeeded in getting angry and threatened her with Bhagavan, and she was naturally worried about Bhagavan, so she was completely conquered by his cruelty.
He wanted to threaten her with Bhagavan, so while she was still useful, Bhagavan would not be in danger.
He also knew that she would not obey sincerely, because he did not need her sincerity, he just liked to enjoy the pleasure of such torture.
And, of course, his plan.
Mid-July, the gates of hell open.
Success or failure depends on this one move...
She shrank back again, buried her face in her knees, and slowly closed her eyes.
The midsummer wind is so cold...
In the next few days, the human race was very active, not because of fighting against the enemy, but because of internal strife.
Thanks to the iron-blooded tactics of Lord Long Chu, the Phoenix Power Kingdom destroyed five other kingdoms in a row. Now, only the Phoenix Power Kingdom, the Northern Yan Kingdom, and the towering and dying Le Tong Tian Kingdom remain.
When Long Chujun was still around, Beiyan and Le Tong united to fight against the Huangquan Kingdom, and the relationship was quite harmonious.
Now, the Human Emperor Long Chujun is dead, and the Supreme Emperor Jun Ling is also dead. When the Emperor's husband Qi Qingyun heard the news, he was heartbroken and committed suicide by drinking poison, committing suicide for love.
The huge royal family, with its splendor and immense power, has become a thing of the past. In just one day, the once prosperous Phoenix Kingdom has fallen into decay and devastation.
Not only external troubles, but also internal worries.
When the country was on the verge of collapse, it was heard that the second prince supported the third princess to take the throne.
Long Yijun was born weak, possessing the blood of the Phoenix, but only able to unleash the power of Spirit Fire. Therefore, Jun Ling sent her to Xuwang Mountain to cultivate when she was only three years old. Now, she has grown into a graceful young lady, having reached the age of marriage.
Although she has a soft personality and is unable to handle important tasks, she is the only hope in this chaotic Phoenix Power Kingdom.
Long Aojun stayed with her. That night, when the fifteen-year-old girl returned home, she saw her country in ruins and her family members dead.
She cried all night, and Long Aojun and Yan Qingli also stayed with her all night.
"Third sister, cry as much as you want tonight. Tomorrow morning, you will just be the ruler of a country, the Empress of Phoenix Power." Long Aojun grew up overnight and became calm and gloomy.
His bloodshot eyes were almost cracked, and his eye sockets were red with tears. He held her shoulders tightly and said cruelly, word by word -
"As the ruler of a nation, you will no longer have joy or self. From tonight onwards, your every move, every word, will represent the entire Phoenix Nation! You must set aside your emotions and serve the people wholeheartedly! You must support this family and this nation! Your parents and sister are watching from heaven!"
"Royal brother... I'm scared..." She covered her head in pain. She didn't understand how everything changed overnight.
"I can't do this position..."
If the eldest sister is the Vermillion Bird and the second brother is the Phoenix, then she is just a bluebird with mediocre talent. How can she be qualified to take the throne?
"You can do it! You can do it! Only you can do it!" He shook her thin shoulders excitedly, growling and roaring, "Long Yijun! Listen! Only you can hold this position! Those with soft personalities can be tempered, and those with mediocre talents can work hard! You can't, you can't give up!"
"I..."
"Listen up! I, the Emperor, will quell the chaos outside and reclaim the border territories. You just need to sit firmly in this position, and you must hold on to it!"
"How do you grab it? How do you even it?!"
She cried out, her heart almost breaking down:
"Those people, the people that my sister swore to protect with her life! Look at what they are doing?
"Heze, Linqing, Fengdu, Fenghe, Hanchuan... they all collapsed without a fight... they opened the city gates themselves!!!
"The Phoenix Power is divided, the military power has been taken away, alien races are invading, most of the Golden Armor soldiers have been killed or injured, and the troops are insufficient. What can we use to fight?!"
"Me, take me." Yan Qingli suddenly spoke, and in an instant, the air fell into heavy silence.
She raised her head and closed her eyes weakly. When she opened them again, she was serious and solemn: "Ao Jun, let's get married. Everything will be simple. Let's do it tomorrow."
