You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 177 I have heard your sincere prayers. Please serve me well from now on.
"At this moment, I have an extremely pious heart.

I beg you to rekindle the fire of faith that is about to go out deep in my heart.

I pray that under your supreme protection, no matter how fierce the wind and rain are, no matter how turbulent the waves are,

I can remain as firm as a rock and not be shaken by the disturbances in the outside world.

May your hands become my strongest shield, protecting me from all the evil and suffering in this world..."

Ji Shengyue didn't know what the situation was, and he didn't dare to stop.

Put your hands together and close your eyes again.
He turned a deaf ear and a blind eye to the unusual sights and scenes around him, and kept praying.

The candlelight around them flickered more and more wildly.

……

"Hello everyone, the building ahead is the temple dedicated to the god Daitengu.

In order to wake up the sleeping Great Tengu as soon as possible,

Her Majesty the Queen of our Dajing Empire has already entered the temple in front of us.
We will serve here 24 hours a day.

Everything Her Majesty the Queen has done is to enable our Dajing Empire to have its own gods as soon as possible..."

A reporter and many cameramen from the Dajing Empire were carrying equipment and reporting live.

These people were arranged by Ji Shengyue and Zong Yajuan.

The purpose is to reshape the image of Ji Shengyue, the great Queen.

"Your Great Jing Empire is really ridiculous.
This statue of the Great Tengu god was stolen from our White-Red Empire.

Now you have the nerve to say that it is a statue of your Great Jing Empire. I think your Great Jing Empire already has a god, and this god is the god of thieves. "

"I love to see you, the people of the White and Red Empire, so feel free to take it back if you have the guts."

"What is there to fight about? We are all lackeys of the Lighthouse Empire now."

"What do you mean by the running dogs of the Lighthouse Empire? Our Great Jing Empire is keeping a low profile and taking advantage of the situation. You know nothing!"

"History books are written by the victors. If our Dajing Empire regains its former glory, then the history of Daitengu's ownership will be permanently rewritten. Hahahaha, I'll piss you off, people of the White and Red Empire."

"You are still dreaming about restoring the glory of the past. You people of the Great Jing Empire are the most dreamy and fantasize all day long.

Back then, it was Chu He alone who was able to ensure peace and security for your Great Jing Empire.
As a result, you idiots drove him away. Without Chuhe, your Great Jing Empire will never be able to regain its glory until your death."

"..."

Many netizens in the live broadcast room were arguing endlessly.

Some people feel ashamed, some people feel it doesn't matter, and some people think as long as you are powerful, why bother with so many things?

There were also people from other empires who sneered and mocked them, but the angriest among them were the people from the White and Red Empire.

This is because the Great Tengu statue was stolen from the White-Red Empire by the people of the Great Jing Empire.

If it had not been stolen, the White-Red Empire would have had one more god.

But now, with the Lighthouse Empire intervening,

The people of the White-Red Empire knew it very well, and they could no longer expect to get the statue of the Great Tengu god back.

But he was so angry that he couldn't suppress it, so he ran to the live broadcast room.
He used the most vicious words to insult the Dajing Empire.

……

Click, click, click...

The statue of the great Tengu, which originally stood majestically and inviolably on the altar,

Suddenly, touched by an invisible force, a quiet but shocking transformation began.

At first, it was a tremor so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.

Like the whispering of leaves in an ancient forest late at night, it foreshadows some unspeakable changes.

Then, hair-thin cracks slowly appeared on the surface of the statue.
They are like the ice cracks spreading under the lake in winter, or like the most secret star tracks in the night sky.
It silently weaves into an intricate web, tightly binding the entire statue.

These cracks seem to have life and multiply rapidly, each one deepening, widening, and interweaving with each other.
Until the entire statue is divided into countless pieces that are about to fall off.

With a subtle but clearly audible cracking sound, stones and debris of varying sizes began to flake off the statue.

It is like an hourglass of time turning back, stripping away past glory and faith bit by bit.

The temperature in the temple seemed to drop sharply as the statue shattered, and the air condensed into frost.

Even the breathing became heavy and audible.

Ji Shengyue, who was dressed in gorgeous clothes, clasped his hands tightly in front of his chest and muttered something, but he still couldn't resist the sudden chill.

Her teeth chattered involuntarily, making a subtle but rapid sound.
It is in stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere around it.

She mustered up her courage and slowly opened her eyes which were slightly wet with fear.

His gaze passed through the gradually blurred light and shadow, and finally fell on the mess on the altar.

At that moment, her pupils suddenly dilated and her eyes were full of disbelief.

Now there was only a pile of messy rubble left. Ji Shengyue's heart was instantly swallowed by panic and despair.

She stood up suddenly, her body trembling slightly due to excessive shock, and her eyes searched around, trying to find a glimmer of hope in this sudden change.

She knew very well that her action today was originally intended to consolidate her position and quell the outside world's doubts by relying on the revival of Daitengu, but she did not expect it to end up like this.

Inside the hall, the candlelight swayed in the wind, adding a sense of mystery and solemnity.

At this moment, they seemed to sense the despair and anxiety in the air and became quiet.
Only dead silence remained.

Ji Shengyue wandered in the silence, each step seemed extremely heavy, her heart was filled with fear of the unknown and worry about the consequences.

However, just when she was about to give up and turn around to escape from this suffocating scene,
An unexpected figure quietly appeared in her sight.

It was a tall, strangely dressed being with a red nose and face, holding a round fan.
The wings behind him flapped the air gently, as if he had just descended from another world.

His eyes were empty and cold, revealing an aura that did not belong to the human world.

"Human woman?"

The hoarse and vague voice echoed in the empty temple, like a whisper from the abyss, making Ji Shengyue's heart instantly rise to his throat.

If Ji Shengyue didn't listen carefully, he wouldn't be able to hear clearly that the other party said the four words "human woman".

"You...are you a great Tengu?"

Ji Shengyue's mind raced as he asked cautiously.

"Odaitengu is indeed my name."

The figure raised his chin with great arrogance.

Ji Shengyue's eyes flashed with excitement.

All her efforts were finally worth it, she actually summoned the Great Tengu out of the statue.

The false alarm just now has been replaced by a heart full of joy.

You know, the Great Tengu has been brought to the Great Jing Empire for such a long time and has not been able to recover. I walked into this hall and knelt down to pray silently for a not too long time.

Daitengu woke up, which undoubtedly proved that she was the girl of destiny.

"Human woman, you are very beautiful. Judging from your status, you should be quite noble among humans."

The big Tengu looked Ji Shengyue up and down.

"Yes, I am the queen of the Dajing Empire, an existence above all others."

Ji Shengyue nodded in response without hesitation.

"Not bad!"

An indescribable smile gradually appeared on Daitengu's face.

There was a cold light in his eyes, like the coldest stars in the night sky.

Suddenly, he turned into a rolling black gas and instantly soared into the air from the altar.

He rushed towards Ji Shengyue as fiercely as a tornado.

The black air was surging, accompanied by a crackling sound.
It seemed to have cut through the silence of the night sky, rendering the surrounding air into a depressing and heavy tone.

"Ah? Ah!"

Ji Shengyue stood there, watching the black gas approaching, his heart filled with fear and confusion.

Her eyes reflected the horrible black color, and her body began to tremble involuntarily.
Her pale face was filled with panic.

She had no idea why Daitengu suddenly behaved like this. Was there something wrong with her prayers?

The black gas quickly condensed into the entity of the Great Tengu in front of Ji Shengyue.
He transformed into the appearance of the original majestic statue, only now he was even larger and more real, and seemed able to destroy everything at any time.

Then he slowly opened his arms.

As if he was hugging his beloved, he held Ji Shengyue's slender waist tightly.

The force was so powerful that it seemed as if it wanted to crush Ji Shengyue into pieces and merge them into his own body.

Ji Shengyue felt a strong sense of suffocation. Her body was tightly bound by the Great Tengu and she was unable to break free.

A pretty face instantly turned red, and her chest was squeezed tightly.

At this moment, she could no longer breathe in a breath of air, and her vision began to become blurry.

"I have heard your sincere prayers. Please serve me well from now on."

Daitengu's voice echoed in the air, like some strange command.

His cold and empty eyes stared at Ji Shengyue, announcing some irresistible fate.

In this terrifying and strange atmosphere, time seemed to have frozen.
Only the cold laughter of Daitengu and Ji Shengyue's rapid breathing echoed in the empty temple.

Everything around me became blurry, leaving only that cold embrace and those emotionless eyes.
Becoming Ji Shengyue's most profound memory at this moment...
