The King Dongli Jiang Shang was probably the most upright and noble person in this world, to the point of being pedantic.
However, he was definitely not stupid.
So, decades ago, when Ji Yingsha betrayed the Dragon Temple and eloped with him, he had his doubts but always refused.
Yet, Ji Yingsha bore children for him, accompanied him for decades, and wandered together for decades. She beca Jiang Shang’s closest and most trusted person, even beca a part of Jiang Shang.
Their love beca a model for the entire Human World, even Yin Ji composed music for the two, truly immortal companions.
For these decades, Jiang Shang had been searching for evidence of the Dragon Emperor’s survival, seeking the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor. And Ji Yingsha never left his side; the two were inseparable, almost every day together like conjoined twins.
Therefore, Jiang Shang’s feelings for Ji Yingsha even surpassed the combined feelings of Lanling for Suo Ningbing and Yan Nai’er.
Once such emotions are torn, it’s almost like digging into one’s heart, almost like living with half of one’s body cut away.
However, at this mont, these feelings weren’t just torn; they were completely betrayed, false.
After truly accepting Ji Yingsha, Jiang Shang trusted his wife with his life, countless tis entrusting his life to her without hesitation.
If given a choice between death and doubt, he would rather choose death than suspect his wife.
He never had any secrets from her, nor any ntal defenses against her.
Thus, when emotions ran deep earlier, Ji Yingsha could easily lock onto Jiang Shang’s mind domain, paralyzing him.
In that mont, Jiang Shang’s gaze was filled with despair, upheaval, destruction.
Jiang Shang’s cultivation far surpassed his wife’s, yet Ji Yingsha indeed harbored a villainous heart. Killing Jiang Shang would have been simple; just stabbing a knife into his mind domain would suffice. No need for deep emotions, no need for ntal paralysis.
Because Jiang Shang was completely defenseless against her, even if she pierced his heart with a sword, he would offer no resistance.
Just like the forr Suo Lun, if he stabbed a dagger into Suo Ningbing’s heart, she wouldn’t stop him; instead, she would gently tell Suo Lun to be careful not to cut his hand with the dagger before dying.
For in Jiang Shang’s heart, if Ji Yingsha were to kill him, then the entire world would be overturned, everything would beco aningless.
...
And so, the most righteous, most noble person in this world died.
Ji Yingsha’s beautiful eyes trembled, her exquisite face quivered.
Then, she gently closed Jiang Shang’s opened eyes and said, "Sorry, brother, I didn’t want this either, but I had no choice."
Jiang Shang’s eyes closed; he wasn’t unwilling to die.
Despite the imnse heartbreak, despite his lifelong love being a facade. But Jiang Shang had no regrets; when he chose to accept Ji Yingsha, he accepted the risk; if he was killed, then so be it!
Ji Yingsha could even feel Jiang Shang’s sigh right before his death.
And it was a sowhat relieved sigh.
He finally didn’t have to struggle anymore!
Ji Yingsha’s betrayal proved that none in the Dragon Temple were innocent; all deserved to die.
Then everything beca simple: no destruction, no creation. Let everything be thoroughly obliterated.
If the Dragon Temple was the flower of evil, then the entire Humanity was the soil for this evil flower. Completely destroying this soil, completely destroying this evil flower, a new blossom, a new civilization can be born.
Demon Emperor, everything is entrusted to you!
I am pedantic, mistaken!
...
The next day, shocking news spread across the Human Kingdom.
The great human leader, the noble and righteous heir prince of the Fla Dragon Empire, the steadfast Dragon belief enthusiast, the King of Dongli Jiang Shang, suddenly died during negotiations with ambassadors from the Fla Demon Empire.
Suddenly, the world fell silent.
Soon after, tens of thousands of refugees in the Dongli Kingdom camp suddenly died!
The Dragon Temple and Human Kingdom dispatched investigation teams, discovering the food transported from the Fla Demon Empire contained indescribably lethal poison, detectable only by the Dragon Temple Demon Pavilion laboratory.
In the presence of the Human Kingdom representatives, staff from the Dragon Temple Demonic Laboratory randomly opened food transported from the Fla Demon Empire and fed it to dozens of different animals.
The result was every animal perishing instantly.
In an instant, the anger of the Human Kingdom was sky-high, the people of Dongli Kingdom were filled with hatred.
The voice of the entire Human Kingdom was unified!
The Fla Demon Empire was the greatest enemy of the Human Kingdom, Lanling was the most evil demon in the world.
"Demon Emperor Lanling is not only the enemy of the Dragon Temple but also the enemy of Rage Wave Kingdom, and he is the enemy of the entire Human Kingdom, the enemy of entire human civilization. For humanity’s survival, for the survival of the entire civilization, we must fight Demon Emperor Lanling to the end."
"Fellow citizens of the Human Kingdom, the horn of war has been sounded, no country, no person can remain uninvolved!"
"The death of the great King of Dongli today is only the beginning; the death of tens of thousands of refugees today is also only the beginning. Countless more will die, Demon Emperor Lanling’s target appears to be the destruction of the entire Human Kingdom, the destruction of the entire world."
"Great Human Kingdom, great Dragon Temple citizens, great citizens of the Fla Dragon Empire, great people blessed by the Dragon Emperor, the most perilous mont has arrived, everyone abandon illusions, fight to the end with Demon Emperor Lanling!"
Suddenly, the crowd boiled over!
"Fight to the death with the Demon Emperor."
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Protect the kingdom, protect human civilization!"
The son of Jiang Shang, forr Crown Prince of East Li Kingdom, Jiang Li ascends to the throne, the new King of Dongli, Jiang Li, donning mourning robes, ascends the throne, holding a treasure sword, publicly breaking the wooden statue of Demon Emperor Lanling.
The King of Dongli shouted loudly: "I officially declare, Dongli Kingdom ends its neutral status and closes the human refuge."
"I officially declare, Dongli Kingdom formally declares war on the Fla Demon Empire, my feud with Demon Emperor Lanling is profound as the sea, relentless until death."
Queen Dowager Ji Yingsha, overwheld by missing her husband, her hair turned white overnight. She announced her formal departure to a monastery, retreating into intensive solitary cultivation, ignoring worldly affairs.
Ji Yingsha’s departure to a monastery marked a perfect ending to her love story.
Priest Gu Ban of the Sky personally ca to offer condolences, and bestowed King Dongli Jiang Shang with honorary priest of the Sky Holy Palace, Justice Law King of Dragon Temple.
The Sky Holy Palace appointed the new King of Dongli, Jiang Li, as Lijing Holy Temple’s priest and chief judge.
The Sky Holy Palace Legion officially stationed in Dongli Kingdom, the new King Jiang Li issued an edict, mobilizing the nation’s power to build the Heaven-reaching Dragon Tower.
At this point, the negative impact brought by Zhi Ao’s betrayal vanished completely.
Dragon Temple completely unified the will of the entire Human Kingdom, the millions turned against Demon Emperor Lanling, entering a relentless battle state.
The great sacrifice of Jiang Xue and Zhi Ao instantly crumbled to dust.
No wonder the Sky Holy Palace expressed complete disdain discussing the King of Dongli, discussing this human refuge. Shi Tian’s exact words on this matter were it wasn’t worth ntioning.
...
Can the tricks of Dragon Temple deceive the world?
Of course not, which royal family, which nobility, which powerful clan doesn’t know the truth? Which one doesn’t see clearly?
Yet, this group cares least about the truth.
Those who truly care about the truth are ordinary people, and they all firmly believe, the King of Dongli was assassinated by Demon Emperor Lanling using despicable ans. Furthermore, the wicked and shaless Demon Emperor Lanling brought in countless toxic grains, intending to poison everyone within Dongli’s borders, creating a no-man’s land for convenient Demon Army landing.
Countless people reach the peak of their hatred against Demon Emperor Lanling.
Every household has drawn ugly portraits of Demon Emperor Lanling, placed them at the doorstep, trampled day and night. Carvings of Demon Emperor Lanling’s face beneath toilet bottoms, drenched in urine and sared with feces day and night, thoroughly humiliated, as if these countless curses could suddenly strike down Demon Emperor Lanling.
The Sky Holy Palace’s nurous Dragon Tower receipt of faith power surged instantly, reaching peak Dragon Realm suppression.
However, Ji Yingsha, supposed to be at the monastery, upon entering a humble ancient courtyard, did not engage in rigorous cultivation, but instead turned and left Dongli Kingdom, heading to the Sky Holy Palace after decades of departure.
The Sky Holy Palace formally appointed Ji Yingsha as Sky Reserve High Priest, Candidate Sky Judge.
Of course, it wasn’t exactly a formal appointnt, as it was rightfully hers. For this position, Ji Yingsha rely sighed, she delayed for decades for Dongli Kingdom. Even without her undercover stay in Dongli, the current shift in situation would have already secured her this position.
If not for Demon Emperor Lanling’s arrival in the world, the significant achievent of bringing a Dongli Kingdom under Dragon Temple’s rule would suffice to make her a Sky Priest. But under the current grand environnt, this achievent appeared less remarkable.
Decades of neither gain nor loss, it’s really hard to clarify.
However fortunately, His Majesty Shi Tian said to her, all your years of toil have been in my view, I will compensate you.
Thus, Ji Yingsha felt less distressed.
...
Upon hearing the news of Dongli King’s death, Demon Emperor Lanling sat there motionless, throughout the entire night.
Honestly speaking, he doesn’t care about Dragon Temple’s distortion of facts, doesn’t care about Ji Yingsha’s utmost despicability, doesn’t care about Dongli Crown Prince Jiang Li’s incompetence and foolishness, nor cares about the Human Kingdom’s hostility and hatred towards him.
What he sighed for, even mourned, was for the demise of a noble life.
Dongli King Jiang Shang, probably the most just, most noble person in this world. And he, has finally died. And his death also signifies the death of Jiang Xue and Zhi Ao suddenly seed to beco aningless.
When a world, even great sacrifices lose their value, does this civilization have any value left?
Jiang Shang’s death signifies the complete demise of idealism.
What remains is ugliness, strife, darkness, bloodshed!
Well then, well then!
From now on, Demon Emperor Lanland no longer needs to fear anything, no longer needs to worry about harming those noble and just lives.
The last honorable sage of humans has died.
The remaining ones, either foolish or evil, there isn’t a single innocent person in this world!
