Chapter 178 Yulan's Final Chapter
Empress Youlan's subsequent words cleared up her doubts.

"I've been probing them for years and have some understanding of what they're trying to do; it's probably to resurrect the Ancestral Dragon."

Lin Zhao's pupils contracted. At this moment, not only Emperor Youlan, but even Granny Honghu couldn't hold back anymore.

"How is this possible?! Are they all crazy?!"

How can a creator god who perished countless millennia ago, whose body became part of heaven and earth, be resurrected? What resurrection is even possible?!

Empress Youlan continued, "I don't know the specifics either. I once secretly looked at the distant Heavenly Mirror. They must have resurrected one of the Ancestral Dragon's souls through some method. They wanted to use that complete soul as a guide to gather all the remnants of the Ancestral Dragon's soul, and then pour it onto the body of the Purple-Eyed Glazed Body. That Purple-Eyed Glazed Body doesn't need to be alive, it just needs to be a Purple-Eyed Glazed Body. Only this legendary sacred body can bear the will of the gods. But to gather all the remnants of the Ancestral Dragon's soul, a vast amount of dragon energy is needed."

Lin Zhao sat in the chair, his back soaked with cold sweat.

At this moment, all actions on the Ancestral Dragon Continent became interconnected.

Her elder brother, as well as Ning Wengui, were merely part of the process of reviving the Ancestral Dragon.

Empress Youlan suddenly began to cough violently. As she continued to cough, her face lost all color and instead grew paler and paler.

In the end, her skin became so white that one could clearly see the veins beneath it. Yet, even so, she remained as beautiful as a poem or a painting. Her constant coughing only added to her fragile beauty, making one want to cherish her.

"They... I know, it's definitely not just about resurrecting the Ancestral Dragon, it's definitely... but what exactly it's for, I don't know." Empress Youlan's voice was somewhat weak.

Her maidservant advised, "Your Highness, please return to the Cold Palace to rest."

"Rest?" Empress Youlan laughed. "I've told you everything today, so I have no intention of going back to that filthy palace."

Every day and night there, the process of nurturing and waiting for Ning Wen's return, the feigned compliance, the nauseating feeling of seducing her enemy, and the superficial negotiations with the seemingly benevolent Emperor Youlan had exhausted all her strength in this life.

She looked at Emperor Youlan, who had already lowered his head and dared not raise it, and said sarcastically, "I thought you would stop me."

Emperor Youlan still did not raise his head, but his voice was filled with grief and regret after learning the truth: "This concerns the Tianhuang Continent and the Youlan Empire. Of course, I will not stop you and Patriarch Lin from telling the truth."

As the Emperor of Youlan, he could betray his Empress because of his hopes for an outstanding successor and his guilt towards his younger brother.

But he absolutely cannot put his people in danger.

Empress Youlan, or rather Cheng Shaoyan, upon hearing this, burst into laughter despite her increasingly frail health.

"The Youlan Empire? You're handing over your newlywed wife to someone else to be humiliated and played with, just so that this empire will have a stronger heir in the future. Do you know that if I hadn't begged the Lin family so desperately, this talented heir you wanted would have died before the age of five! Ning Youze, what makes you think that a once-powerful family would be willing to form an alliance with an empire after its decline?" It was she who pleaded so desperately in that letter inviting the Lin family to live next to the Youlan Empire, it was she who constantly flattered Youyuan, it was she who promised the Lin family a series of benefits, that saved Ning Wengui's life!

"Do you know that your good heir has been cursed with a reincarnation curse by his own father? Your nominal father even broke off the engagement with the Lin family. You've lived a mediocre life, only managing to become a crown prince with extraordinary talent because of your ambition in the Ancestral Dragon Continent. Don't you know your own capabilities? What gives you the right to decide the marriage I arranged for my son?"

When Ning Wengui was mentioned, Cheng Shaoyan's emotions obviously became out of control. Ignoring his weakness, he pointed at Emperor Youlan and shouted, "If it weren't for his own hard work, which allowed him to survive until his teens and be noticed by the Liangyi Palace, and to have a noble person help him get rid of the Reincarnation Python poison, where would you get the confidence to protect your Youlan Empire now!"

Emperor Youlan was clearly incredulous that he had almost killed Ning Wengui, whom he regarded as his own son. He subconsciously retorted, "Youyuan only has Wengui as his bloodline. How could I harm him?"

"What does a madman care about bloodline?" Cheng Shaoyan's face was full of disgust when he mentioned Youyuan.

"He only wanted to obtain that perfect purple-eyed glass body and squeeze all the benefits out of Wen Gui. The reason why Wen Gui's purple-eyed glass body has not awakened for a long time is because most of the spiritual energy and glass energy were transferred away by him."

After Cheng Shaoyan finished speaking about everything she knew, she looked at Lin Zhao and said, "What I've said is written in this scroll. I don't trust anyone else, so please give it to the three Venerable Lords, Patriarch Lin. Also, there are transcendent forces on this continent that are already under the control of the Ancestral Dragon Continent. As for the forces controlled by the Ancestral Dragon Continent, Youyuan has always used code names, so I can't guess which force it is. All of this depends on you. My body can't hold on any longer."

In fact, even the information she mentioned before was something she had gradually extracted from Youyuan over the past ten years by taking advantage of his moments of confusion and infatuation.

Everyone says that Emperor Youlan is deeply devoted and unwavering in his love. After the Empress gave birth to the Crown Prince, he went into seclusion and never left the palace. He has been reserving the Empress's position for her for decades and dotes on Ning Wengui. Only she knows that she is nothing more than the Imperial Advisor's plaything in the palace.

"My body is not suitable for cultivation. I am indeed no match for those chosen ones." Cheng Shaoyan looked at his increasingly pale fingertips and knew that his days were numbered.

"But I don't want to be at the mercy of others. I want to live a good life and for my child to have a healthy and bright future." Cheng Shaoyan turned his gaze to Emperor Youlan: "You ruined my first wish and almost ruined my dream of returning home."

Emperor Youlan had nothing to say and silently knelt down before her.

“So you won’t live much longer either.” Cheng Shaoyan looked at him. “I had Youyuan poison you. You ruined my life. I want you to lose what you want too. I told Wengui that after you die, he will return to succeed you. After succeeding you, he will abdicate the throne to the Emperor of the Yonghui Empire. I want you to live as a subject in Youlan, with no hope left.”

Upon hearing this, Emperor Youlan suddenly raised his head and saw the madness in Cheng Shaoyan's eyes. He hurriedly tried to call for help, but the next person to appear was dressed in the attire of the Liangyi Palace.

Lin Zhao sat in the high seat and asked him with amusement, "Your Majesty doesn't think that I didn't report to the Three Venerables after I learned of the Grand Preceptor's identity, does he? Your empire has long been under the supervision of the Liangyi Palace."

Emperor Youlan looked around and finally closed his eyes.

"What is destined to be yours will be yours, and what is not, you cannot force. This time, I am forcing the radiant light that does not belong to the empire."

However, that shimmering light was still just shimmering light, dazzling yet fragile. When it shattered, it tore the entire Yulan Empire to pieces, leaving it stained with blood.
