Simulates history, but Chongzhen is the Divine Emperor at the beginning

Chapter 274 It burned out...

【"what is it?"】

You muttered to yourself.

Zhao Gou frankly admitted: "As you guessed, it was the Jin emperor, Wanyan... I don't even know what his name was."

"Anyway, it has no consciousness, only a corrupting instinct... It will spread its chaotic divine power outwards on its own, and any living person covered by its divine power will be corrupted and mutated!"

"It is precisely because of this that I have been unable to unify the world..."

"And even I don't know why, but it instinctively follows me and tries to erode me as well."

"Faced with such an evil god, even I can only avoid it... I usually use illusion magic to conceal myself, precisely to prevent it from finding me..."

Zhao Gou made no attempt to hide his loathing for it. After all, it was precisely because of this indescribable monster that he was unable to avenge the humiliation of the Jingkang Incident… Moreover, it followed him around every day, trying to erode and assimilate him. No wonder Zhao Gou couldn't possibly have a good impression of it!

And after His own confirmation, you finally confirmed your suspicions: this indescribable, eerie thing was none other than the mysterious Emperor of the Jin Dynasty…

[However, even though it's confirmed, it's still hard to imagine: the emperor of the Jin Dynasty was actually such a person?!]

[That doesn't make sense, does it? Those Jin people you saw back then, even without accepting the Song people, weren't they living normal lives?]

You can't help but wonder: if the Jin emperor was such an absurd, mindless monster, how did Jin society function normally? Surely they couldn't have governed the country based on something like that…?

In short, you are very confused.

Amidst your confusion, you suddenly realize something: the so-called "celestial upheaval" was actually caused by this unknown Jin emperor recklessly spreading divine power!

[It was precisely because it unconsciously used its divine power to corrupt the people of the Central Plains that they underwent mutations. Whenever they met the Song people, they would reveal their true nature as "familiars of an evil god."]

[It was precisely because it posed a great threat to Zhao Gou that he tried every means to eliminate it! However, since he never had the strength to destroy it, he had no choice but to actively conceal himself to avoid being targeted by it...]

But now, Zhao Gou has unusually summoned this detestable person, which is clearly to deal with you!

【…】

Looking at the indescribable Jin emperor, Zhao Gou suppressed the disgust that welled up from the bottom of his heart and turned his face towards you.

"Weren't you curious about how I would deal with your extraordinary divine power? Well, now I can answer that question. I'm going to use it to deal with you!"

Zhao Gou laughed and said, "Back then, I also used this method to defeat Zhu Youjian. However, it was the first time I had used this method, so I was a bit clumsy and used too much force, grinding him down to a pulp and letting him escape..."

"But don't worry, practice makes perfect. I won't fail this time!"

As he spoke, Zhao Gou became serious, slowly rose, and led the unspeakable Jin emperor toward you...

Faced with such a perilous situation, although you don't know exactly what will happen next, you instinctively don't want to come into contact with this strange thing, so you try to escape.

[However, because Zhao Gou has already drawn you into his own unique illusion, you cannot escape this place. No matter how far you run, you are essentially standing still!]

This is overwhelming power that completely surpasses your abilities. Although Zhao Gou cannot directly cause you any harm, he can easily keep you immobilized.

Therefore, no matter how you try to escape, you can only watch helplessly as it gets closer and closer to you...

As you get closer to it, its boundless divine power grows stronger. Under the corrosive influence of this tidal wave of alien divine power, you have no choice but to actively expend a large amount of violent divine power to resist its erosion in order to avoid being assimilated.

Of course, you did try to take the initiative, but without exception, all of these attacks failed!

No matter how fierce an attack you launch, it can use its alien divine power to neutralize and erode it, leaving its main body completely unharmed...

At first, you tried to outlast it: "I have the Western Paradise backing me; it's vast and abundant, possessing everything imaginable. That mere tyrannical divine power is as plentiful as I need!"

[I have infinite power, but this thing on the other side can't possibly have infinite power too, can it?]

But as time goes by, you are shocked to discover that this thing's strange divine power seems to be limitless...

[Zhao Gou's sarcasm confirmed your guess: "Want to outlast it? Let me tell you, it has been releasing its divine power like this for over two hundred years, and there is still no sign of it weakening!"]

"It is chaos, and chaos is endless..."

This news must have made your heart sink...

[However, you didn't panic. Firstly, because you are also infinite. Infinite against infinite, what are you afraid of?] [The Western Paradise access granted to you by the Prime Minister is the highest level. You can use its resources infinitely, so you have nothing to fear in a war of attrition!]

Secondly, it's because...you don't have long to live!

Yes, your lustful divine power and primordial spirit are almost completely burned out...

[You are ultimately not the original body, but merely a fragment of your soul. Forcibly wielding the highest authority in the Western Paradise is far too much for you. The reason you have been able to endure for so long is entirely because you are burning the lustful divine power you have accumulated over the years... Once the lustful divine power is exhausted, even your primordial spirit will be burned away!]

[If this happened to someone else, it would be a fatal tragedy, but you are different... Death is not the end for you; if you wish, you can be reincarnated for eternity.]

[Besides, you're clearly backed into a corner. If you survive, you'll be subjected to "groin literature"... It's better to die quickly than that!]

[Anyway, I'm just a useless life. If I die, I can always start over. As long as I drag this out until I burn to death, I can break free from this stalemate.]

Therefore, instead of looking tense, you appeared somewhat relaxed...

【"Um?"】

Zhao Gou seemed to sense part of your thoughts, and frowned: "You want to end it all by dying?"

"Is it necessary? I don't want you to die, I just want you to help me with my cultivation... Zhu Youjian won't help me, why won't you either?"

That's impossible!

You rolled your eyes in annoyance and then ignored him...

Seeing your disdainful expression, although Zhao Gou didn't understand why you would rather die than help him with a small favor, nor did he quite understand how you could commit suicide in front of him, he still couldn't help but feel uneasy.

The situation seems to be somewhat beyond His expectations...

【…】

You ignored Zhao Gou's growing unease and simply felt a silent sense of relief: indeed, as long as you're not afraid of death, nothing can coerce you!

Since death is inevitable anyway, I might as well gather as much useful information as possible to use in my next life...

Suddenly, a thought struck you, and you walked towards the indescribable Golden Emperor!

"You'd better see what this Jin emperor really looks like!"

[So, despite the overwhelming power of the chaotic divine energy and the intense dizziness, you strained to see "it," trying to use all your reason to discern its true form...]

[You saw it, or rather, you saw a thousand eyes and a hundred fingers!]

[You saw it, but it's still a dark sun!]

[You see it? It's still a huge, winding tendril!]

You saw it...

Suddenly, your pupils constricted, your last shred of reason surfacing: You saw it! You really saw it this time!

It is...

[You seem to have grasped something profound; a flood of extraordinary knowledge rushes into your consciousness, leaving you utterly astonished in that instant, and all your questions are answered with the most accurate results!]

So that's why the "heavenly change" happened, that's where the power of lust came from, that's where the power of tyranny also came from... No wonder, no wonder...

You understand everything!

But then, these newly acquired insights inexplicably distorted, transforming back into gigantic tendrils, a monster with a thousand eyes and a hundred fingers, and a pitch-black sun...

Then, you collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted, and slowly stopped breathing.

You, have burned out...
