Each of the nine dragon maidens possesses extraordinary abilities.

The Celestial Venerable gazed at him, and under such a gaze, lies had nowhere to hide.

He said, "Killing my mother would be a betrayal of myself."

The Celestial Venerable understood. Ha! So twisted, so extreme, so morbid—how could he not want to kill his mother? How could he not know that his mother was the culprit? Yet he still restrained himself. He chose to kill his mother's new achievement, her new hope.

"Do you want to be a good child who listens to your mother?" the Heavenly Venerable asked.

He replied, "I'm too lazy to change it."

“Your loyalty pleases me,” He said.

“I’m happy. I’ve never felt so good before,” he said. “That’s just how I am. I can kill when I want to, and I can choose not to kill when I don’t. Since I want to listen to my mother for the rest of my life, why would I kill her? I love her.”

The Celestial Venerable laughed heartily. He stretched out his hand, and in his palm was his mother's head, the terrified expression still etched on it. The Celestial Venerable squeezed hard, and the head turned into a bloody pulp.

My mother is dead.

Now, he can only listen to what his mother used to say.

The Celestial Venerable laughed heartily, realizing what the missing piece was.

It is loyalty, absolute loyalty. Absolute loyalty can inspire courage, absolute loyalty can make one fearless of death, absolute loyalty can lead to mad killing. Ordinary loyalty is not enough; He requires absolute loyalty.

Like the Holy Emperor's followers, absolute loyalty is etched into their souls!

It must be killing and bravery that springs from absolute loyalty; only in this way can the Heavenly Venerable be pleased.

Today, the boy has become a man. Listening to his mother has become listening to her past words. Now, he obeys the words of the Heavenly Venerable, and with an arrogant, brave, and contemptuous heart, he bestows slaughter upon the mortal world.

The spear dragged along the ground, leaving sharp marks.

What makes the bravery and killing inspired by loyalty different from others?

The man looked at Qing Zaishan; she had also chosen her weapon, a long spear, just like him.

My mother is dead, she died in the past, she died a long, long time ago.

The man's memories of the past were hazy; all that remained were his mother's words: "Be patient with girls." So the man patiently taught Qing Zai Shan how to use a spear, and even demonstrated it for her, fearing she wouldn't know how.

"Have you learned it?" he asked.

Qing Zaishan nodded.

Then let us fight, and bring joy to my lord.

If he hadn't listened to his mother back then, would everything have been different? Would his mother have confessed her mistakes to him? Now, none of these questions matter; all he has to do is fight.

He used killing to prove that the path he was on was right.

Qing Zaishan clumsily used his spear to defend himself until the tip of the spear pierced his shoulder.

It hurts so much, she should cry.

With her maid absent, she felt somewhat lost.

Most importantly, she's sleepy now and wants to take a nap.

Qingzaishan needs to take a nap.

She needs to lie in a soft place, cover her eyes with darkness, and be completely still. That would be perfect; the softness and darkness would give her a great sense of security.

The maid would create such an environment for her, and only she knew what she needed.

There's a story that says when humans are born from their mother's womb, they have a long dream in which they see the origin of humanity, emerging from the deep sea to become the humans we are today. Once they emerge from their mother's womb, the dream ends, the dreaded sunlight reveals everything, and the baby begins its first cry.

Qing Zai Shan said to the maid, "I long for this, but I don't want to go back into my mother's womb. My parents are members of the Demonic Cult, and they only want to destroy me for their own cultivation. I want to find a truly safe place."

The maid said, "There is no such place, sir."

"Even if we go to the new world, will it still not happen?" Qing Zaishan asked.

The maid shook her head. Qing Zai had believed it; it seemed it really didn't exist.

She always listened to her maid, so she could only treat her daily afternoon nap as her only safe moment. But now, even that only safety no longer exists?

She coughed up blood, barely managed to stand, and said, "Could you wait a moment?"

The man put down his gun, puzzled, but patiently asked, "Waiting for what?"

Qing Zaishan said, "I want to sleep, I want to take a nap, please."

The man said, "A nap, huh...?" He looked at Qing Zaishan and said, "But we're fighting right now."

Qing Zaishan nodded vigorously. She knew that, but there was no rule against taking a nap during battle. She said pitifully, "I need to sleep every day, and now is my sleep time. I have to sleep."

The man patiently explained, "You can't sleep during a fight."

Qing Zaishan asked, "Why? This isn't an unreasonable request."

The man replied, “First of all, we were enemies when you rejected me, as we said before.” He paused, then continued, “Since we’re enemies, we can’t sleep while fighting them.”

Qing Zaishan thought about it seriously, but couldn't figure out the logic behind it, so he could only stick to his point of view: "But I want to sleep."

The man looked up at the sky, waiting for the Celestial Venerable's reply. After a long while, his eyebrows slowly furrowed, clearly indicating that the Celestial Venerable had told him what had happened outside.

The man asked Qing Zaishan, "Then will you agree to my previous proposal?"

Qing Zaishan shook his head: "I won't agree. Earth vein energy is impossible. You broke the agreement first, so I'm even less likely to give it to you."

The man said, "The situation outside is very bad right now. The local forces in Qingzhou are entangled with a troublesome group. If we continue to fight, they will only benefit in the end."

Qing Zaishan didn't say anything.

The man said, “Give me the earth vein energy, and our agreement will still stand. In the new world created by the Celestial Venerable, you will still retain your position.”

Qing Zaishan remained silent. The man looked over and found that she had fallen asleep standing there.

The man thrust his spear forward.

This time, the spear tip pierced Qing Zai Shan's body completely, and the pain woke her up.

"I want to sleep," she said.

“Agree to my conditions,” the man said. “And please respect this duel.”

"I want to sleep, I want to sleep..." Qing Zaishan's eyes flashed with confusion. "I can't not sleep..."

The next second, her head drooped down again.

died.

Chapter 90: Fighting to the End (4k)

A pure energy space, where golden fairy boats float.

The so-called "Eternal Bamboo" refers to this celestial vessel, which is, of course, no ordinary celestial vessel.

In order to ensure that the followers of the Holy Emperor could make full use of it, Jiang Dingqu's reincarnation placed it in the core of the earth vein energy, ensuring that it could absorb the earth vein energy at any time and place.

As long as the Four Gods carry out their grand plan, this celestial ship will one day see the light of day again.

Lu Yueyuan's body emitted golden light, and at that moment, the Holy Emperor possessed him, protecting him as he headed towards the Immortal Ship.

He said with a hint of nostalgia, "Jiang Dingqu... he really gave me a pleasant surprise."

Lu Yueyuan remained silent.

In the simulated future, he and the system also saw many other things left behind by Jiang Dingqu, who was truly a fanatical believer.

"I wonder where she was reincarnated to recently."

Lu Yueyuan asked, "Can you sense it? If we can find Jiang Dingqu's latest reincarnation, it will be a great help to us."

The Holy Emperor said, "No, what do you take me for? A stalker? Why would I stare at someone who has been reincarnated? They're not my followers."

Lu Yueyuan: "Hmm...you're definitely not like that."

The Holy Emperor said, "It's good that you know."

Under the Holy Emperor's protection, Lu Yueyuan successfully landed on the immortal ship.

He had just landed when a device was activated.

The door ahead opened, and a certain mechanical creation opened its eyes.

She emerged from the cockpit, her entire body crimson, etched with the Immortal Symbol. Though a mechanical creation, she possessed the aura of a living being. Lu Yueyuan could clearly see that this person bore the marks of the power of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Immortal.

"Jiang Dingqu is truly insane. She actually fused with the power of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Immortal and transformed herself into a mechanical creation." Even the Holy Emperor was somewhat shocked by the scene before him.

But besides shock, a sense of sorrow welled up within Him in the next moment. However, this sorrow was quickly sealed away and He transformed back into the emotionless god.

“Jiang Dingqu…no, you shouldn’t have this name in this life, right? How did you end up like this?”

"You, you, you......."

The mechanical creation was clearly not familiar with its own body. It opened its eyes blankly, and finally its gaze locked onto Lu Yueyuan.

An excited expression appeared on her face: "Holy Emperor... it's you! You've come out? I'm so happy! My efforts haven't been in vain. You've really come out. I've been waiting for you here. You... I never expected your true form to be like this. It's wonderful. You're exactly my type."

She rushed over and hugged Lu Yueyuan tightly.

Holy Emperor: "Heh, heh!!"

Holy Emperor: "Jiang Dingqu, you son of a bitch, what are you doing to my proxy?!"

The agent walks with the gods and shares the same origin, so the girl clearly regards Lu Yueyuan as the Holy Emperor's true form.

Surprisingly, the material on the girl's body was not hard, but rather quite soft. However, considering that the Holy Emperor was about to lose his temper, Lu Yueyuan pushed her away before she could suffocate him.

“Unfortunately, the Holy Emperor has not been liberated; I am His agent,” Lu Yueyuan said.

"Agent?"

The mechanical girl blinked in confusion, then chuckled: "He can find an agent? Someone is willing to be His agent? I never expected that. He's so difficult to please. His agent must be tortured to death by Him."

"You slut, I knew you had no respect for me! Give me back the pity I showed you before!!" The Holy Emperor roared in Lu Yueyuan's mind.

Ignoring the Holy Emperor's roar, Lu Yueyuan said to the mechanical girl, "You must be the Holy Emperor's divine artifact, right? Your first body was buried as a divine artifact on Wuming Peak, and in your second life you began to attack the Qingzhou ley lines. The Four Gods have a grand plan, and you have your own plan as well. I'm afraid you don't just want to liberate the Holy Emperor; you also want to seize the world's origin for the Holy Emperor in the future, is that right?"

Jiang Dingqu, the Holy Emperor's divine artifact, is the most fanatical believer.

Even reincarnation couldn't erase the obsession in her bones. She left traces all over the Nine Provinces, hoping that in one of her lives she could connect everything and then resurrect the Holy Emperor.

"Ah, so much time has passed. Have the Four Gods' grand plan already begun...?"

Lu Yueyuan gave a brief account of what was happening in the present era, and the mechanical girl was deeply moved after listening.

"I wonder what I'm doing in this life. The methods for regaining memories after reincarnation are getting cruder and cruder. Maybe she has no memories of her past life. Alas... Lord Agent, I'm sorry, I can't help you much. I'm just an inanimate object now. The only reason I can talk to you is because I've merged with the power of the Immortal Heavenly Craftsman, so I've retained a part of my consciousness. I'm about to dissipate, but if you want to carry out my plan, I can give you everything I left behind."

Lu Yueyuan said, "That's why I came here. You should know what kind of god the Holy Emperor is, so I never expected to get His consent. I will personally conquer the Nine Provinces for Him, collect energy from all over the world, and create a new world. Therefore, I need your plan."

"It must be tough for you to be His agent..."

The young woman from the organization hugged Lu Yueyuan again.

Holy Emperor: "You two have had enough. You two don't show me the slightest respect."

Although He said that, He didn't make any further moves. He could tell that this was really just a broken body. The second incarnation of Jiang Dingqu was already dead, and she had placed her own body here as a clue.

This is indeed a very sad thing.

"...This is what I have arranged in this life. Of course, whether I will follow the same path in the next life is unknown. You can go and see if I can indeed recover my memories in the next life." The mechanical girl said, "Including this immortal ship, you can also take it. It has been bathed in the earth vein energy here for a long time. It will be very easy for it to convert the earth vein energy of Qingzhou."

Finally, she asked Lu Yueyuan, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"

Lu Yueyuan said, "There is indeed one more thing I need your help with."

The mechanical girl was created by Jiang Dingqu in his second life using the power of the immortal craftsmanship of the heavens, combined with the energy of the earth's veins and special materials.

Now, Lu Yueyuan has also brought with him the power of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Immortal.

In other words, he can reshape the mechanical girl's body and change her form.

Before her consciousness completely dissipates, give the Celestial Venerable's proxy a big push.

Lu Yueyuan said, "Although doing this is very immoral and even desecrates the corpses of our predecessors, it's a good opportunity to severely injure the proxy. If I can seriously wound him, then I'm confident I can kill him this time, so..."

Her slender fingers covered Lu Yueyuan's mouth.

"Don't say things like that."

The mechanical girl smiled and said, "Please use me as you wish. I have been waiting here for too long. I would be very happy if I could shine brightly when I leave the stage."

She paused, and suddenly, an unprecedented aura erupted from her.

She said earnestly again, "My Lord, no matter what the Holy Emperor chose you for, you are now His agent. His power is controlled by you, and His will is embodied by you. As the Holy Emperor's divine weapon, I am naturally your divine weapon."
