The Queen's joy at winning the imperial seal turned to tragedy!
Wu Wei, acting as the sixth in command, stole the imperial seal. Enraged, Empress Yin ordered the female cultivator to detonate the soul contract.
The female cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm was a loyal follower of the Empress Yin. Without thinking, she detonated her soul contract, let out a muffled groan, blood gushed from her face, and she fell from the sky.
This is the consequence of a cultivator detonating a soul contract, shattering their soul, and triggering an explosion in their brain's Niwan Palace—they die on the spot.
Unfortunately, Empress Yin ignored her, focused solely on pursuing Wu Wei as he dodged and weaved through the air: "No, how could you be unaffected by the contract detonating your soul, damn it..."
"Hehehe, thank you for your great help, hehehe." Wu Wei, amidst the encirclement and suppression by the Yin Hou forces, dodged left and right in the air, playing with people and enjoying the victory.
In fact, it wasn't that the female cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm detonated the soul contract without harming Wu Wei's soul; it was just that his benevolent soul was injured.
Unwittingly, this laid the foundation for the evil spirit Wu Wei's victory, allowing him to celebrate his birthday while trampling on the wounded and injured good spirit.
That's right, it's a birthday celebration!
Celebrating her victory in outmaneuvering the benevolent soul, Wu Wei, who would henceforth cultivate with a seven-to-three ratio of good to evil soul origins, thus taking the lead, was overjoyed and excited, practically bursting with happiness.
On the other hand, the benevolent spirit Wu Wei was curled up in the corner of her Niwan Palace Fire Pearl space, barely clinging to life, enduring the pain of licking her wounds: "Haha, this is your scheme, you won."
But you really will have the last laugh…
"Shut up, hahaha, your laugh is really creepy. Laugh, laugh, the more you laugh, the more victories I will achieve, hehehe." The evil spirit Wu Wei excitedly flew in the air, playing with people and showing off without limit.
Empress Yin was so angry that she vomited blood and desperately led her subordinates to surround and intercept them.
The zombie army in the sea below charged at the nanogrid and died, putting on a bloody and brutal march.
The Emperor Emeritus and his entourage eventually found their way to the center of the reef island, to the mountain peak where the virtual screen was suspended, and stopped in front of a brother and sister who were sitting on the ground, hugging their knees and crying: "You two are from the Xie family, aren't you?"
Now, everyone on the island is searching for a way to contact Zheng Ya, but you siblings, with the mainland less than half an hour away from destruction, are kneeling on the ground weeping. Can you tell me why?
"Waaah, nothing is more sorrowful than a broken heart, go away, waaah!" Xie Baochai wanted to cry herself to death. Why did she always have to reject Zheng Ya's kindness?
He had always managed to get by without any problems by refusing any of Zheng Ya's requests.
During this time, she also submitted to Zheng Ya's leadership and handed over the Five Elements Metal Key to secure a safe haven for the Xie family's direct lineage. Zheng Ya readily accepted the key she offered and promised that as long as she and her brother did not resist his summons, he would guarantee that they would not die from the security of their safe haven.
After all, at that time, Zheng Ya was preparing to go alone to the deadly trap set by the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager. In order to rescue more than 500 members of the Zheng family, Zheng Ya had to risk his life, making Xie Baochai and her brother realize that death was dangerous and they had no choice but to hand over the key to protect themselves.
Since Zheng Ya was going to his death, the fact that Xie Baochai held a key would eventually be exposed before and after his death. Rather than facing coercion from the Emperor Emeritus and the Empress Dowager, they would not have received the carefree treatment of being in Zheng Ya's hands. They might have died and cut off the Xie family's direct line of descent. Therefore, Xie Baochai and her siblings were willing to hand over the key to Zheng Ya, diverting the trouble to the east.
Zheng Ya did not take their kindness to heart at the time, and even promised the siblings a stable life.
Unfortunately, it only lasted a few years, ending just two hours ago when the siblings refused Zheng Ya's summons.
Seeing that the retired emperor was angered by the siblings, Emperor Chengping stepped forward and interjected, "Father, their situation is not the same as ours, why bother to make trouble for themselves?"
"Hmph, you have less than half an hour to live. You told me not to cause trouble for myself, but did you do it yourself?" The Emperor Emeritus was so angry that his teeth ached and he hated him to the core.
I just don't know what I hate or what I'm angry about.
At this moment, all the gains and losses in life have turned into factors of panic, filling the mind and body, stimulating every cell in the body, giving rise to the fear of death and the urgent desire to live.
Relatively speaking, Emperor Chengping was in a better position. He sat down and said with a wry smile, "Father, at this moment, it's time for us, father and son, to let go..."
"Shut up, you unfilial son! What do you want me to give up?" The Emperor Emeritus raised his hand in anger, but restrained himself from unleashing a killing blow to silence him.
Clearly, they had misunderstood Emperor Chengping's intentions: "Father, there's no need to be angry. We are less than twenty-one minutes away from death. Why not face death calmly and accept the bitter fruit of life's journey..."
"What? You've had a sudden epiphany on your deathbed and can face death with equanimity? How is that possible?" The Emperor Emeritus withdrew his hand in shock, jumping up and down in frustration.
Looking around, the entire island was filled with panicked people. Even the injured were calling out to Zheng Ya in terror, seeking a way to survive.
It can be said that apart from the zombie army still frantically attacking the electric grid, and the panic of death, the rest of the people on the island are crying for help and looking for a way to survive.
Who can calmly face such oppression of death?
Emperor Chengping smiled faintly and shook his head: "Father, I am tired and should rest..."
"Shut up! You want to die? I don't want to die!" The Emperor Emeritus was almost frantic, regretting why he had refused Zheng Ya's summons earlier.
Refusing Zheng Ya's summons meant choosing death.
It should be noted that Zheng Ya saved more than one-third of the lives on the mainland, with an initial estimate of hundreds of billions of lives lost.
If Zheng Ya were to teleport billions of lives to the Four Continents within three hours of the continent's destruction, anyone would think of one word: impossible.
This means that Zheng Ya was busy rescuing people and had no time to return to the reef island to summon the living beings to the four continents a second time.
The key point is that by rejecting Zheng Ya's summons, he has cut off his own path to survival. Trying to call Zheng Ya back is just a futile struggle.
Regret, intertwined with the fear of death, tormented his mind and body!
Emperor Chengping and some of those who had given up resistance and resigned themselves to death suddenly realized: "Father, the choice is very important..."
"Shut up! I'm so anxious, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you..." The Emperor Emeritus jumped up and down, crushing rocks in his frustration and regret.
Xie Baochai suddenly raised her tearful face and interjected, "Haha, choices are indeed very important, but unfortunately I chose the wrong path, ruining the Xie family's lineage. I am a sinner of the Xie family, sob sob."
"Waaah, sister, it's not your fault. It's because your brother is useless and made the wrong choice, waaah!" Xie Da cried his heart out.
There were countless people on the island, like the siblings, weeping in remorse.
These live recordings were all broadcast to Zheng Ya's supernatural small world system screen, which commented: "Life's journey is a path of cultivation!"
"Uh, are you planning to go back and save them again?" Daiyu asked reluctantly, only to be rejected by Liu Yan'er: "Don't cause trouble for your master brother."
"My master is too busy saving people to have any spare time to go back and save those ungrateful wretches!"
"Nonsense, I suggested he go back and suppress Wu Wei's arrogance, making her efforts futile, that would be the perfect ending..." Daiyu revealed her true feelings, unable to bear Wu Wei's face as she played with people after obtaining the seal and the spiritual treasure.
Upon his suggestion, all the informed members of the consortium voiced their opinions, petitioning Zheng Ya to return and slap Wu Wei in the face, thus bringing a perfect end to Hong Li's departure from the mainland.
Zheng Ya laughed it off, saying, "Haha, this is also a lesson in my cultivation. Everyone, just wait and see!"
