Both Qianli and Fuqu were startled and stepped forward.
"Princess."
Jiang Shumiao was helped up by the two people. Her face was a little pale, and she stared blankly at the distorted face of the dragon demon.
"What you just said, is it all true?"
The dragon demon knew that she had been exposed today and had no chance of survival. This child was terrifyingly strong. Although she hadn't seen the sword in her hand clearly, it was definitely a divine weapon.
The people of the gods, however, know very little about the affairs of the divine realm.
Nine times out of ten, they have offended the Heavenly Emperor.
Thinking of this, he gave a wicked smile.
"I am not as skilled as others, so I have nothing to complain about in this situation. There is a saying among you mortals: 'A dying man's words are good.'"
He breathed heavily, enduring the pain, and said, "Little girl, let me give you a piece of advice: be more careful when you encounter people of the gods in the future. The Heavenly Emperor always says that humans are greedy, but isn't he greedy himself? If you want to protect the demons around you, go to the Heavenly Palace and kill the Heavenly Emperor."
"Otherwise, there will be no possibility of ascension to immortality, and demons will inevitably wreak havoc on the human world sooner or later. At that time, all living beings will suffer, the number of ghosts in the underworld will surge, and chaos will surely ensue, allowing the Heavenly Emperor to reap the benefits."
Fuqu, Qianli, and Baimin all showed expressions of fear on their faces simultaneously.
They had all heard Jiang Shumiao say she wanted to settle accounts with the Heavenly Emperor, but she wasn't one to kill easily. When that day actually came, she would probably prioritize negotiation.
now--
Jiang Shumiao remained silent for a long time.
The couple, Ryu Seung-sang and his wife, were completely stunned.
The greatest wish of mortals in life is to have wealth and power, for that is the happiest time.
But in the eyes of powerful gods and demons, humans are nothing more than mere ants.
It turns out that God is not compassionate and loving.
The dragon demon spat out its inner core. It had cultivated for five thousand years and was only one step away from transforming into a dragon, but unfortunately, it had missed the right opportunity.
Although he had cursed the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable, he knew in his heart that if the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable were still alive, the Heavenly Emperor would never dare to act so arbitrarily.
Legend has it that this being was born from chaos and possessed the power to overturn the heavens and the earth.
The Heavenly Emperor, the ruler of the divine realm, was extremely wary of her.
"I don't know the full story of the war between gods and demons. Back then, I was just a snake. When the Azure Lotus Saint fell, I was fortunate enough to obtain a trace of her divine power and was able to transform into a human. Originally, I was wholeheartedly devoted to the righteous path, but five thousand years is too long, even too tyrannical, and I can't see any hope. The dragon race was abandoned by the gods and may one day be wiped out. The human race is the descendant of Nuwa, and they are endlessly reborn. After death, their souls return to the underworld. So I became greedy and wanted to be a human for once."
“For five thousand years, I have never harmed anyone. But in order to become human, I have ultimately wronged that child. This demon core is formed from my five thousand years of cultivation. It can absorb the demonic energy on his body and help him repair his soul.”
He handed the demon core to Jiang Shumiao.
Jiang Shumiao reached out and took it, her expression complicated.
"May I have your name?"
The dragon demon remained silent for a long while, then suddenly smiled, "It doesn't matter anymore. I'm going to the underworld soon. I've never taken a life, so I should be reborn as a human in my next life, right?"
Jiang Shumiao nodded slowly.
"Repenting and turning back from the wrong path can be considered making amends. However, having made a mistake in the first place, one's next life will likely be more difficult."
The dragon demon responded with an "oh".
"That's fine too. Humans are despised by others, but demons are intolerable to heaven and earth. So let them suffer a little."
He was also very insightful; no wonder he could transform into a dragon.
Without his inner core, his form slowly began to become transparent.
"Young girl, if you want to protect the human race, the Heavenly Emperor must die!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he vanished completely.
It was only at the very last moment that he suddenly realized that Jiang Shumiao's divine power was the same as the wisp of power he had obtained when he took human form five thousand years ago.
The Holy Venerable Qinglian.
She's alive again!
Then she will definitely be able to kill the Heavenly Emperor!
The dragon demon had no more regrets and went to the underworld to face judgment.
Jiang Shumiao held the inner core and turned around. Fuqu and Qianli both saw a chilling killing intent in her clear and bright eyes.
That murderous intent sent chills down one's spine.
Is she about to storm the heavens and confront the Jade Emperor?
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Although Jiang Shumiao was filled with rage, she still retained her rationality. Reaching the heavens wasn't difficult; the challenge lay in her current strength not being able to guarantee that she could protect the human world from the ravages of war while simultaneously waging war against the gods.
In any case, the common people are innocent.
Jiang Shumiao took a deep breath and first erased the memories of Liu Chengshang and his wife.
Those words must not be spread. The gods are immoral and unworthy of offerings. She herself is not afraid of incurring the wrath of the gods, but she cannot let her family suffer as a result.
Liu Xian'an was already in a half-demon state. If Jiang Shumiao hadn't suppressed him with divine power, he would have revealed his snake tail.
Most people are afraid of snakes.
But she wasn't afraid.
The goddess Nuwa was depicted as having a human head and a snake's body.
To be honest, Liu Xian'an's current state is actually quite similar to...
The dragon demon took human form from a wisp of her divine power, and this demon core also possessed immortal energy. No wonder he conceived the idea of refining a soul and transforming himself from a demon into a human.
Without this wisp of divine power, the Heavenly Dao might have already noticed it.
Jiang Shumiao first absorbed the demonic energy from Liu Xian'an's body, restoring his physical body to its optimal state, before slowly placing his soul back in.
The soul had been separated for too long, and it took quite a bit of effort to reunite it.
It took a full two hours to fully return to its original position.
Jiang Shumiao pushed open the door and said to Liu Chengshang and his wife who were waiting outside, "His soul has just returned to its place and he needs to rest. He will be fine when he wakes up tomorrow morning."
The couple were extremely grateful to her.
That night, they naturally stayed at the Liu residence.
Wen Zhixuan found Jiang Shumiao and asked immediately, "Is the Azure Lotus Saint Venerable dead or alive?"
A confident tone.
