Ying Zheng also stood up and turned to look at the Moon Goddess, who remained indifferent.
Will He respond to Nüba's provocation?
Everyone else thought the same thing, and thousands of eyes were focused on the Moon Goddess at that moment, whether in Xianyang or elsewhere.
"What wouldn't I dare to do?"
The Moon Goddess, in her ethereal puppet form, rises gracefully, lowers her eyes to stroke the jade rabbit before setting it down, and when she raises her eyes again, her fierce aura is no less than that of the demon Nüba.
"Your Majesty, lend me your sword."
Ying Zheng reflexively reached for the sword at his waist, but paused for a moment before realizing that the Moon Goddess wanted the Xuanyuan Sword, but he had left it in his bedchamber today!
The Moon Goddess seemed to understand, and with a flick of her slender hand, a beam of cold light shot straight from the Qin King's palace.
Grabbing his sword, he flew at top speed, shouting excitedly:
"System-branded express delivery, mission accomplished!"
With a whoosh, the system came to an abrupt halt, and the Xuanyuan Sword floated straight in front of the Moon Goddess.
Seeing the Moon Goddess take the Xuanyuan Sword, Ying Zheng finally felt relieved. He found it somewhat amusing, as he understood why the Moon Goddess wanted to borrow the Xuanyuan Sword—it was the sword once held by the Yellow Emperor.
The relationship between Nüba and the Yellow Emperor and his daughter was obviously quite delicate.
As expected, when Nüba saw that the Moon Goddess intended to use the Xuanyuan Sword in battle, she was enraged. Everyone finally understood why Nüba's long hair was red.
—The countless strands of hair grew out rapidly, forming waves of fire that rushed towards the Moon Goddess.
The raging flames, like a net covering the sky, almost obscured the heavens. Under this massive onslaught, the small figure of the Moon Goddess looked so helpless.
At least the others watching from the sidelines were terrified. Waves of fire flew up and every now and then a few flames would fall, burning people's clothes and flesh, and burning a finger's width through the ground when they hit it.
"Your Majesty, what should we do? Nüba is so powerful!" Wang Ben's brows furrowed with worry.
"How could the daughter of the Yellow Emperor be an ordinary person?" Ying Zheng said, then calmly reassured his ministers.
"However, I do not believe that the Moon Goddess would be defeated by Him..."
Ying Zheng was about to conduct some further analysis when he saw the battlefield changing rapidly. Faced with the fierce attack of Nüba, the Moon Goddess simply summoned a moonlight.
The moonlight was as clear as water, and the flames quietly died out; He didn't even move a step.
With a relaxed breath, Qin Ren, whose mind had been preoccupied with the Moon Goddess, finally felt a little relieved.
"Nuba, you know it's impossible, so why do you still come to cause me trouble?" Moon Goddess Changxi seemed somewhat puzzled, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.
"Why can't I do it? I'll do it if I want to. Chang Xi, are all you gods in Heaven so cold and heartless?"
After Nüba finished speaking, she glanced at everyone, saw the displeasure on their faces, let out a loud sneer, and pointed at Ying Zheng and the others, saying:
"You're all very dissatisfied, aren't you? I'm clearly the evil god, yet you say that Changxi, the moon goddess who has given you so many benefits, is cold and heartless?"
I'm absolutely shocked. There are actually people who are fearless and nod in agreement. Are the genes for recklessness in human blood really that powerful?
The next second, Nüba burst into laughter:
"A goddess's entire life is devoted to the Great Dao. Even if all of you mortals were to die, it wouldn't move her. Chang Xi, do you dare admit it?"
"That's true, but why are you saying this, Nuwa?"
The moon goddess remains as indifferent as the unchanging moonlight. Although she appears beautiful and gentle, a deeper understanding reveals a chilling coldness.
He thus admitted it, acknowledging his attitude toward mortals.
Everyone present felt a chill and could not believe that the Moon Goddess would be like this.
Ying Zheng's eyes churned with emotions, but ultimately settled on a firm goal.
Mortals strive and struggle, only to perish in a hundred years. The moon goddess sees them as humans see mayflies, which live only a day and die at dusk. Why not hurry?
As long as he can achieve immortality, even the gods will have to take notice of him.
Ling Xiao, under the guise of the evil goddess Nüba, unrestrainedly released the blood residue she had absorbed on the battlefield.
The warriors projected behind her, enveloped in blood-red energy, materialized and charged toward the Moon Goddess with unstoppable force, wielding their weapons.
"Amitabha Buddha, may the world's consciousness be deceived."
He prayed desperately, his heart filled with bitterness. The host's actions were like dumping the leftovers and garbage into the world after eating.
If it weren't for the fact that he was a mission taker, and that this performance could barely be considered as part of completing the mission, the host would have been finished long ago.
In everyone's eyes, the warrior wielding his weapon was running wildly towards the Moon Goddess, his feet treading the heavens and earth. As he moved, the sounds of weapons clashing and battle could be faintly heard.
A strong, pungent smell of blood filled the air.
Meng Tian leaned slightly to protect the king's right side. The smell of blood that he caught reminded him of a bloody battlefield.
Everyone felt this was Nüba's ultimate move, and they stared intently, their hearts pounding with tension.
The system is also nervous: It's covered in the world's consciousness, so it hopes you'll be in a better mood.
The Moon Goddess Changxi seemed to take things seriously as well, swinging the Xuanyuan Sword and slashing—some warriors were instantly reduced to ashes.
However, there were too many people, and with Nüba launching attacks whenever she could find an opening, the Moon Goddess was able to resist, but the situation became deadlocked for a time.
Sudden.
Nuwa smiled wickedly and said:
"Chang Xi, you are both the Moon Goddess and the Taiyin Star Lord. Between the Three Realms, Taiyin and Taiyang give rise to all things, and Chang Xi also occupies half of the power of the Taiyang Star. Haotian can't rest in peace for a moment, can he?"
"When I came down, I just learned that the most beautiful woman in the Three Realms had appeared in Heaven. She was appointed by the Jade Emperor as the goddess in charge of the phases of the moon, and she's even temporarily taking charge of the Moon Palace on your behalf."
The malice in Nüba's words was undisguised, and everyone understood that during the time the Moon Goddess had descended to the mortal realm, Haotian had been trying to have someone replace her.
