In late April, Song Yanran was the first to discover that something was wrong with the situation in the Nine Realms. After investigating from various sources, she finally discovered that everything that had happened in the last ten years was just a conspiracy.
The true mastermind had already quietly risen to power amidst the chaos of the Nine Realms.
The mastermind behind this is named Xueyan, whose true identity is Shen Zhao, the former husband of the Empress of Dayin.
When the name "Shen Zhao" appeared on the paper, Shen Zhao felt a tremor in his heart.
He continued reading.
The Four Emperors Alliance was re-established, and Song Yanran immediately notified the Demon Empress Yu Qingzhu to go together.
However, the Blood Nightmare took the initiative and invaded the demon race ahead of time, and Yu Qingzhu became the third empress to die in battle.
From this moment on, the demon race, the demon realm, the Western Regions, the Nine Netherworlds, and even the sea have all fallen into the territory of the Blood Nightmare.
On the contrary, the once-powerful Four Emperors Dynasty, due to years of continuous warfare, had long been weakened and could no longer stop the Blood Nightmare's plan.
In July, after three months of maneuvering, the four emperors resolutely challenged Blood Nightmare.
During the Battle of Wu Hui Peak, Leng Qingcheng and Yue Beiqing, who were supposed to have disappeared, suddenly appeared on the battlefield. It turned out that they had already joined the Blood Nightmare's forces.
In this battle, the allied forces of the four emperors suffered heavy casualties and could not stop the advance of the Blood Nightmare in the slightest.
On the way back to the Northern Region, Blood Nightmare himself committed suicide.
Luo Pianhong was caught off guard and was executed by Blood Nightmare by being torn apart by chariots.
Shen Zhao felt a sharp pain in his head.
In the scene, Luo Pianhong is thrusting her sword at him.
But the next moment, chains formed from the five primal forces suddenly bound her neck, hands, and limbs.
"Flying swan~"
"Sister, let's go!"
"Stop! No!"
*Pfft*
With a single outstretched hand, Luo Pianhong was torn to pieces.
"No, Pianhong~"
"You beast, I'll kill you!"
Song Yanran screamed with all her might; the pain of losing her best friend made her rush towards him without thinking.
Shen Zhao's expression flickered, and his consciousness returned to the present.
Looking down at the entries in the diary:
Empress Luoshen died in battle, and Empresses Song, Mu, and Jiang fought a desperate battle against the Blood Nightmare.
Unfortunately, at this moment, Xueyan's cultivation level was completely above the heavens, and even if a god emperor descended to earth, he would find it difficult to shake her in the slightest.
During the battle, Jiang Qingluan was killed instantly by the Blood Nightmare while shielding Mu Qiuyao from an attack.
In Shen Zhao's mind, he had just launched a powerful attack at Mu Qiuyao, and at the critical moment, Jiang Qingluan stepped forward to block the attack, only to have all her bones and meridians shattered on the spot.
"Sister Qingluan, how are you? Don't scare me."
Looking at Jiang Qingluan, who was lying in her arms covered in blood, Mu Qiuyao's tears fell like a burst dam.
"Sister... let's go..."
After uttering the last word, Jiang Qingluan stopped breathing.
"Sister Qingluan!"
Mu Qiuyao burst into tears, but soon her eyes flashed with murderous intent as she drew her sword and slashed at herself.
"Pay back for Qingluan's life, you beast!"
Shen Zhao clenched his fist.
Jiang Qingluan's death deeply affected him.
Although their feelings for each other could be described as bland and uneventful, it didn't mean they didn't love each other. On the contrary, through spending that time together, he had already fallen in love with this shy girl.
Shen Zhao composed herself and continued reading.
Emperors Song and Mu exhausted their life's cultivation in a final, desperate battle against the Blood Nightmare.
As a result, they both died at the hands of the Blood Nightmare. From then on, the order of the Nine Realms collapsed, and the world fell into eternal night.
Shen Zhao hurriedly closed his diary, leaned against the stone wall, looked up, and felt so heartbroken that he could hardly breathe.
I tried hard to erase the image of the two emperors' tragic deaths from my mind, and tried not to accept this bloody reality.
After a long while, Shen Zhao glanced at Su Yunying, who was still fast asleep. His feelings were complicated, but he also felt a sense of relief.
At least, she's still alive.
However, Song Yanran and the others have already died and ceased to exist in this world.
Thinking of Song Yanran, he couldn't help but look at his wrist, and suddenly realized that the bracelet and red string that Song Yanran and Mu Qiuyao had given him were gone.
"Where's the bracelet?"
Shen Zhao hurriedly searched around, but there was no trace of it at all.
"Did you lose something?"
Su Yunying was awakened by Shen Zhao's commotion.
No, did I disturb your rest?
Shen Zhao stopped what he was doing and gently comforted Su Yunying.
Su Yunying moved closer to Shen Zhao: "What's wrong? You look like you've been crying?"
Shen Zhao then realized that, due to her overwhelming emotions, two lines of tears had already rolled down her cheeks.
"It's nothing, I just thought of some things and tears welled up involuntarily."
"Missing your wife again?"
Shen Zhao remained silent.
Su Yunying unfastened her cloak, sat down next to Shen Zhao, looked at the pendant around his neck, and continued to whisper:
“I just had a dream that I became your wife, gave birth to a son and a daughter for you, and lived a very happy life.”
Shen Zhao was taken aback, only to hear her continue, "In my dream, there was no blood-red moon, no eternal darkness."
I don't have to do anything; you'll arrange everything for me.
I'm so happy to see the sunrise and sunset every day, and not have to struggle to make a living.
The only problem is the endless fussing of the two children.
Do you think such a wonderful life will really come my way?
A hint of anticipation flickered in Su Yunying's bright eyes as she met Shen Zhao's gaze; everything was understood without words.
"I promise you, I will end all of this."
Su Yunying shook her head: "Through this dream, I've figured it out."
This world has long lost hope and a future, even if light were to reappear.
