It's as if they're using this bluster to mask their inner fear and panic.
"The blood of the Japanese people, is it not a sin? The lives of the people of Xuanyuan, is it not a sin? And what about the countless lives of the people of those small, remote countries, are they not sins committed by you?"
He paused, his chest rising and falling slightly with his rapid breathing, and a sinister light flashed in his eyes, a light like a poisoned icicle.
His tone suddenly turned sharp, as if he were about to unleash all the pent-up resentment and bitterness he had been holding back, turning them into a sharp blade: "What, has your memory become so bad?"
With each word he spoke, a distorted fluctuation of spiritual energy emanated from Tiandao's body, like a spider web torn apart by a gale, chaotic and fragile.
His body swayed slightly, as if he were about to collapse at any moment.
He clearly intended to use these deliberately piled-up words to evoke the guilt in Qin Qianluo's heart and try to break down her defenses mentally.
Little did they know that the deliberate and urgent tone of their voice had already revealed their inner panic.
This only made him appear even more fierce on the outside but weak on the inside, like a caged beast that could only roar in vain.
Qin Qianluo gazed quietly at the Heavenly Dao before her, feeling an indescribable boredom creeping into her heart like a wisp of smoke.
He clearly forgot his past actions of manipulating events and overthrowing all spirits, yet he insisted on dwelling on her conquests.
It's as if only in this way can they demonstrate their "justice".
If her conquests and expansions can be considered acts of killing, then Heaven's past actions of arbitrarily manipulating fate and treating all living beings as pawns are even more egregious.
Isn't this the ultimate form of killing, a grave sin that can crush the karma of the three realms?
She was too lazy to waste her breath—arguing with someone whose thinking was already distorted and who only knew double standards was a waste of time and a complete futile effort.
Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about every inch of Zhaoning Kingdom's territory today.
In her past life memories, every inch of land was soaked with the blood of her ancestors and buried with their loyal bones who defended their homeland.
She was simply following the obsession in her bloodline to reclaim the territories that had been invaded and divided in this world.
It's simply to let the burial place that our ancestors longed for be restored to its wholeness in another world.
As for Japan, those wolves and jackals have always taken pleasure in plundering and prided themselves on trampling on other countries.
It is likely that anyone with Chinese blood and a heart for their country would not hesitate to end this turmoil if given the chance.
Unless one is a traitor who betrays his country for personal gain, who would choose to stand idly by when he has the ability to destroy Japan? Allowing it to continue to wreak havoc on all sides is the real sin.
Furthermore, expanding territory has never been a shameful thing.
When you have the ability, expand your territory to leave a more solid foundation for future generations.
Even if future generations become complacent and slack off due to a period of peace, they will always have the confidence and basis to fight again if a change occurs in the future.
If they want to reclaim the lost territory at that time, they will have sufficient grounds and legal justification.
To avoid the situation that occurred with the retired emperor, who had to send countless envoys across the ocean to negotiate in order to find a legitimate pretext for sending troops, exhausting all his efforts.
Even she herself had acted out scenes of "disappearing in other countries" and hiding in a space to temporarily avoid trouble, just to make the reason for sending troops more impeccable.
Fortunately, all that they did, whether this "legitimate" status was artificially facilitated or a natural consequence of fate, was ultimately justified.
Ultimately, it stands the test of time, and it has a clear conscience and is worthy of the people.
Qin Qianluo slowly stood up, raised her hand and gently patted off non-existent dust from her robes, her movements calm and firm.
It was as if what was being swept away was not dust, but all the past troubles and entanglements.
She lowered her eyes again, looking down at the vibrant Zhaoning Kingdom below—its cities and towns were well-ordered, its fields crisscrossed, and wisps of smoke rose from its chimneys.
The people's faces were filled with peaceful smiles, and children chased and played in the streets and alleys, a scene of national prosperity and peace.
This could be considered a great success, right? She devoted her entire life to protecting this land from the ravages of war.
To ensure that true equality and justice take root and flourish, so that the people no longer have to suffer from oppressive policies and cruel treatment.
In the future, those sordid and despicable acts of bullying the weak will likely be difficult to repeat in history.
Everything unfolded slowly and methodically in the direction she had envisioned, without ever deviating from it.
In this life, from the initial bewilderment upon arriving in this strange world to the composure of wielding power, she has given so much and gained so much. In the end, her journey was not in vain.
The faint smile that spread across her lips held a sense of relief after weathering the storm, as well as a profound sense of groundedness and contentment.
It's pretty good.
