(Brain storage space)
Thunderclouds gathered at the summit of the heavens.
Beneath the vast sky, eight ancient chains of divine restraint tightly bound a blood-soaked man in the center.
The man was disheveled, covered in blood, and enveloped in a bloody aura, making it impossible to discern his true appearance.
Standing in front of the man were a man and a woman.
The man's name was Lin Feng, and he had a face that was more exquisite than a woman's.
However, this face, which should have been handsome, now appeared distorted and terrifying due to excitement.
The woman standing beside Lin Feng possessed a stunningly beautiful face, which, combined with her vibrant red imperial attire, perfectly accentuated her graceful figure.
However, the woman's face, as white as the moon, was as cold as ice, and her seemingly clear pupils revealed a strong sense of disgust and hatred.
Yu Xiyan, the female emperor of the Yintian Dynasty, possesses the rare Ice Phoenix bloodline, a rarity in a thousand years. Her cultivation reached the Emperor Realm three years ago, and she is undoubtedly among the top in both appearance and cultivation on the Immortal Martial Continent.
The man trapped in the God-Locking Chains is named Shen Zhao, the husband of Empress Yu Xiyan, the God of War of the Yintian Dynasty, and the powerful Prince of Wu.
Born into a poor family, Shen Zhao rose step by step to the position of a high-ranking general in the empire through his military achievements. He established the Po Jun Mansion, formed the Iron Army Guard, and made outstanding contributions to the empire's battles.
He once led tens of thousands of imperial soldiers north to Wolf Pass, slaughtering a million barbarian soldiers; his 100,000 Iron Guards vowed to fight to the death, wiping out the invading Nine Netherworld Demon Army; his flying ships set sail, riding the waves to destroy the Seven Kingdoms of Southern Dragon, and conquering the Kingdom of Heaven; he marched west to the ancient ruins, capturing and killing the ancient god Anomaly, and eliminating a world-destroying assimilation pollution invisibly...
In battle after battle, wherever the Po Jun Mansion's troops went, even gods and demons trembled in fear, and all three thousand sects of the Immortal Martial Continent were terrified.
For the first time, those lofty and powerful immortal sects submitted to a mortal dynasty, lowering their haughty stance and bowing their proud heads.
During Shen Zhao's reign, the empire's territory expanded twelvefold, spanning one-third of the Immortal Martial Continent. It can be said that Shen Zhao single-handedly brought the Dayin Empire to a peak that was not originally his.
Unfortunately, today, the former war god of the empire, the military god of the Po Jun Mansion, and the pillar of the Yin Tian Empire, is about to perish in this meticulously planned scheme.
"Shen Zhao, you plotted to murder the late emperor, attempted to usurp the throne, and harmed the current empress. Do you know your crime?!"
Lin Feng's voice echoed in Shen Zhao's ears like a ghost.
However, Shen Zhao's face, covered in blood, was held high as he looked at Yu Xiyan.
Yu Xiyan stared quietly at Shen Zhao, her icy eyes revealing an intense hatred that she could not conceal.
Her marriage to Shen Zhao was a fatal mistake from the very beginning.
She never felt that she liked Shen Zhao, even though this man had made her the Empress she was today.
Yu Xiyan admitted that this man was very good to her, so good that it was unbelievable. For the past twenty years of marriage, he had been obedient to her in every way, followed the rules and treated her with respect. Even though he knew that it was just a marriage of convenience and that they could never be husband and wife in reality, he had no regrets.
Shen Zhao would go to great lengths to get her anything she wanted, even risking his life, without the slightest hesitation. Without him, the Yintian Dynasty would not be as powerful as it is today.
But as long as Shen Zhao exists, she feels like a puppet. The Yintian Empire only knows about the invincible military god Shen Zhao, but never mentions the name of Empress Yu Xiyan.
Yu Xiyan believed that she could do, or even do better, everything he had done for the empire.
Of course, the reason for killing Shen Zhao was not just because of his overwhelming power and arrogance.
Instead, Shen Zhao murdered his father and his entire royal family for power, and even worse, he defiled his mother, driving her to suicide...
The crimes committed by Shen Zhao are too numerous to list.
“Shen Zhao, you have rendered service to the nation, and I have already granted you a lifetime of glory. However, human greed is insatiable, and your actions have angered both heaven and man. I absolutely cannot forgive you.”
"Oh……"
After Yu Xiyan finished speaking, she received only a self-deprecating chuckle.
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng solemnly recounted Shen Zhao's crimes: "Shen Zhao, you plotted to poison the late emperor, humiliated Empress Dowager Gu, colluded with evil cultivators, attempted to provoke a war with the Western Buddhist Kingdom, and even plotted to usurp the throne. Do you admit to any of these crimes?"
"I don't know what this idiot is babbling about. Oh well, he's just a useless coward who lives off women. It's an insult to your intelligence to argue with him."
The voice was very soft, but Yu Xiyan still heard it. However, after a moment of doubt, she resumed her aloof and haughty demeanor.
Lin Feng roared, "Silence means consent! Then pay for the lives of those you've killed!"
The eight chains forged from ten-thousand-year-old Yin Fire Iron were reinforced and tightened once again under Lin Feng's frantic spiritual power, and blood gushed out from Shen Zhao's body like a spring.
His consciousness gradually began to blur, and his head, which had been held high, slowly drooped.
Shen Zhao is now deaf and blind, his facial features closed, as if he has entered a void.
He knew this was a sign of impending death; his clenched fists bulged with veins, and he muttered something under his breath.
Shen Zhao felt very tired. From the moment he transmigrated to this Immortal Martial Continent, he was assigned by the system to grovel before Yu Xiyan. However, after nine lifetimes of reincarnation and giving everything he had, he still lost to so-called fate.
So he decided to give up.
At this moment, the system voice sounded in my mind:
"Ding, the host has failed to win over the Empress. The system senses that the host's vital signs are about to dissipate and asks if the host wants to rewind time. If the host successfully wins over Yu Xiyan's heart in the tenth life, the system will surely give a generous reward."
