Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 367 Emperor Chongde

"Really dead? Uncle, you've disappointed me greatly."

A quarter of an hour later, Emperor Chongde returned, looking at the pool of blood and flesh left on the ground, his eyes filled with disappointment.

He naturally didn't believe that Rohan would die so easily, without even having any backup plan.

So he planned to launch a surprise attack, but the reality was beyond his expectations.

Seeing that he was truly dead, they had no choice but to return to the palace.

About five minutes after Emperor Chongde left, a figure slowly walked out.

"Brother Chu is really something, insisting on listening to this old man's roundabout methods."

"Why don't we just ask the Goddess of Cats to do it?" Guo Ming said, holding a long sword wrapped in cloth in his left hand and looking at the blood and flesh on the ground. "But you old man are indeed ruthless."

"They actually used their own lives as a cover-up."

"Very well, when a person dies, the light goes out; let's proceed according to your plan."

As he spoke, Guo Ming tore off the strip of cloth, revealing the long sword wrapped around it—the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword.

Guo Ming plunged the Taiyi Heavenly King's Demon-Slaying Sword into the flesh.

The flesh and blood, which had already lost their vitality, began to slowly come back to life after being stimulated by the immortal energy.

Meanwhile, the ground began to sink and cave in, being corroded by this mass of flesh and blood.

Since Luo Han had guessed that the Panlong Pillar was fake, he knew that if he wanted to sever the Qi channels of the world, he would have to find another way.

But with such a short time, finding it wouldn't be easy.

Therefore, the simplest and most direct approach is to start with the central axis.

As for Emperor Chongde also making moves along the central axis? If he really had the manpower and resources, Luo Han would accept it.

This doesn't mean altering a single line; it means changing the entire city of Tianjing, including the imperial palace, the imperial prison, and a series of other important areas.

And this change had to be kept secret from Rohan.

"You'd better hurry, we don't have much time." Guo Ming watched as the pit widened, and large amounts of Qi escaped from the cracks.

At first, it was only sporadic, but as the corrosion thickened, the amount of Qi increased.

"If we're late, Brother Chu will have to pay another expense." Guo Ming actually knew that this was already the fastest speed he could go.

Ensuring progress while avoiding detection is not an easy task.

As for why it's necessary to go through all this trouble?
In reality, it wasn't that Rohan wanted to do this, but rather that the involvement of the evil Qi imperial vein within him was not only a source of power but also an obstacle.

This would allow Emperor Chongde to perceive all of his actions regarding the Evil Qi Imperial Vein and the Qi Vein of the World.

Therefore, the prerequisite for completing the plan is to first eliminate the evil Qi Imperial Vein.

This thing isn't a ring or earring that you can just take off whenever you want. You have to return it to the Evil Qi Imperial Vein to avoid arousing suspicion.

This led to a plan that appeared to be an enticement but was actually the main culprit.

The result was successful; Luo Han successfully deceived Emperor Chongde by sacrificing his own life.

Then another problem arose: Chu Danqing was sent as bait, and Luo Han would die once the plan was completed.

There will definitely be someone who has to sever all the Qi channels in the world.

So here comes Guo Ming.

He arrived with Luo Han, but he hid far away and only showed up after Emperor Chongde had left.

If there's a plan, then stick to it; Rohan's life or death is none of his business.

What if stepping in to rescue them disrupts the plan?
He wouldn't be soft-hearted and save someone just because they were from another trial world.

"Meow, meow~" The cat goddess purred comfortably, almost like a motorcycle starting up.

Chu Danqing was using a cat-specific soul extractor on Him. This thing was a prop that could provide cats with great pleasure.

Previously, Chu Danqing had fed Him a cat treat, a can of cat food, and a small dried fish.

After finishing the meal, he clearly felt that the cat goddess's favorability towards him had soared.

Before, they wouldn't let me touch them, but now I hold them in my arms and stroke them.

It must be said that the park's classification of apostle types is truly remarkable.

Although the Life-Oriented Apostles lack combat power, the quality of their products is truly excellent.

It completely bewildered the goddess of cats.

Chu Danqing was deep in thought; he still had a copy of the Divine Invocation Technique in his possession.

This thing is only of the Excellent grade, so selling it seems like a good idea, but it would be better to use it as a gift to the Cat Goddess to increase her favorability.

It might be of some use.

However, it's not time to give it now; it's better to give it after we send the other person back.

There are certain ways to give gifts.

Otherwise, the other party won't develop a good impression of you; they'll just take it for granted.

"You seem to have been waiting for me?" Emperor Chongde dragged his massive dragon body into the Golden Palace.

His gaze fell on Chu Danqing, who was playing with a cat, and then he glanced sideways at the broken dragon pillar.

He did not see his queen, but he did not ask where she had gone; her death was already a certainty.

"Not really." Chu Danqing put away the soul extractor, hugged the Cat Goddess, and said, "Actually, I have a question I want to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongde slowly coiled his dragon body and sat down opposite Chu Danqing: "Please ask."

He wanted to act immediately, but the power of the Cat Goddess filled him with fear.

Yes, it's fear.

The last time he felt fear was when the great powers used their ironclad warships to force open the gates of the Chongde Dynasty. This time, it was even more terrifying; he didn't even know where to begin, and he had no one to ask for help.

"As the saying goes, water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Have you ever thought that you would have such a day?" Chu Danqing asked seriously.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongde laughed and said, "Yes, of course there is."

"In the quiet of the night, I often wonder if it was really worth exchanging the whole world for all of this?"

"Do you know what my conclusion is?" Emperor Chongde asked in return.

Chu Danqing understood and said, "It should be worth it."

“That’s right.” Emperor Chongde’s smile grew wider and wider: “It’s worth it.”

"And then, will you rebuke me or condemn me?" Emperor Chongde said with a meaningful look on his face.

"I won't do these meaningless things." Chu Danqing originally wanted to curse, but then thought it was unnecessary; the other party's skin was much thicker than he had imagined.

"The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, you know what I mean."

Emperor Chongde didn't quite understand what Chu Danqing was saying, but he could understand what Chu Danqing meant.

"So what? Why haven't you made a move yet? Are you stalling for time?" Emperor Chongde appeared to be asking a question, but he had already guessed it.

“From the very beginning, the Imperial Uncle’s goal was not the Evil Qi Imperial Vein.”

"Instead, they intend to eradicate the root of the problem and directly destroy the Qi channels of the world, right?"

Emperor Chongde suppressed his urge to leave.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but whenever he showed any intention of leaving, the cat's eyes would be fixed on him.

If I were to actually take action, I would die instantly.

As for why Chu Danqing didn't let the Goddess of Cats take action...

Of course, we're waiting for the mission.

The reward for returning to the game hasn't been released yet, so who knows what other tasks are involved?

It wouldn't be too late to kill Emperor Chongde after Guo Ming has severed all the Qi channels in the world.

The moment Emperor Chongde stepped into the Golden Palace, he was already a sitting duck.

Emperor Chongde knew that he could not escape by force, so he calmly communicated with Chu Danqing, trying to leave in other ways.

If it weren't for the Cat Goddess, they would have already taken action.

"That's right, I advise you not to struggle anymore. When the time comes, I'll have the cat send you on your way."

"So that I can die with less pain." Chu Danqing had no intention of hiding anything.

Emperor Chongde shook his head: "The vital energy channels of the world cannot be severed."

"Even the most advanced craftsmanship of the great powers would use some Qi to some extent."

"If the Qi channels are severed, not only will the human race be affected, but also food and livestock will be affected."

"With the livelihoods of the people disrupted and natural disasters occurring constantly, you will become a sinner against the world," Emperor Chongde said.

That's right, Qi has penetrated deep into nature, and if it were to disappear, it would definitely be a big problem.

"Life will find its own way," Chu Danqing said calmly. "I am a human being, and I stand from the perspective of a human being, not the world."

The world Chu Danqing refers to is the natural world, not the Chongde Dynasty.

"Besides, you're the culprit, you're the sinner, what does it have to do with me?" Chu Danqing wasn't going to be fooled by the other party.

Emperor Chongde stopped his campaigns and sealed off the evil energy after sweeping away the foreign powers, and that's when the rest of the story began.

However, not only did he not achieve immortality, but he also dragged the entire Chongde Dynasty into such an abyss because of his desire for immortality and to become an ancestor.

How dare you say these things now?

He was simply trying to test Chu Danqing's thoughts and then try to gain a chance of survival through moral blackmail.

Moral blackmail can be effective for Chu Danqing to some extent, but only if the person blackmailing him is morally superior to him and the blackmail is justified.

Then this isn't called moral blackmail, it's called having the same goals and ideals.

Emperor Chongde doesn't fit any of these criteria. Does he really think Chu Danqing is a brainless idiot?

"But ultimately it was you who committed this sin," Emperor Chongde chuckled softly.

"I'll take it," Chu Danqing said first. "And then?"

These words left Emperor Chongde speechless.

In fact, Chu Danqing never shied away from what she had done.

"That's all," Emperor Chongde wanted to say something more, but he felt a strange movement in his dragon body.

His dragon body is the Evil Qi Imperial Vein, so the abnormal movement not only indicates that there is a problem with the Evil Qi Imperial Vein, but also that there is a problem with the Qi veins of the world.

Suddenly, a piercing pain appeared.

When he came to his senses, an uncontrollable feeling kept surging up in his abdomen.

He opened his mouth and vomited out a large mass of pitch-black evil energy.

The dragon scales on the dragon's body began to fall off piece by piece, revealing the bloody flesh beneath.

"You succeeded." Emperor Chongde's eyes were filled with hatred.

"Actually, not yet." Chu Danqing glanced at the task; the trial task hadn't been settled for him yet.

However, it is certain that Guo Ming has already begun to sever the Qi meridians of the world with his sword. Although he has not severed them yet, he has damaged the Evil Qi Imperial Meridian.
