I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 69 The Price of the Peach Demon Woman

This world.

Aside.

More and more people sensed that the Candle Dragon was about to revive, and saw that Zhangwei Mountain had transformed into a dragon body, gradually wriggling and merging into the eye in the sky.

Some things cannot be hidden, and more and more people believe the claim that Zhulong will destroy the world.

Every hour, every day.

In the scene that everyone saw, the speed at which the Candle Dragon raised its head increased, and the distance between its eyes covering the sky and its body was getting closer and closer.

Then they merged, and then slowly opened.

For those who can see this image, nothing could be more terrifying; it's like a countdown to the end of the world.

"I'm coming."

"Soon."

"There is no time."

"The bells of doom have already rung."

Every day, when you open your phone or walk down the street, you'll see these kinds of sounds, signs, and parades.

Aside.

The Changsheng Temple and the Eastern Kingdom also began to make frequent moves, causing one major incident after another.

In particular, the conflict surrounding Nangang City has intensified recently, and more and more news and top-secret information are being transmitted from here to the world.

“There is a door in Nangang City that leads to another world, a world that even the Candle Dragon cannot affect.”

"They have a paradise."

“A large amount of supplies and people are passing through that door to another world.”

"They are going to escape, abandon this world, and live forever as superhumans, while all ordinary people will be eliminated."

"The world is about to end, but we cannot accept it."

More and more news is coming out, and it's becoming increasingly outrageous.

Dongguo finally responded.

They acknowledged that there was indeed a door in Nangang City, that the Candle Dragon was about to be revived, and that they had already established a base on Taoshan Island and were now recruiting base members from outside.

The whole world was in an uproar.

At this time, the concept of immortality also emerged.

In the form of a so-called savior.

Zhang You appeared in public and announced it to everyone in the form of a press conference.

"No one can save you."

"At least, I can't save all of you."

"But the Temple of Immortality is different. As long as you join us, I will take your souls to another world."

"We will give you another body and a completely new life."

"Humans are no longer just humans; you and I will no longer be bound by this fragile body."

"Immortal soul!"

"Reincarnation is immortal!"

As Zhang You spoke these words, the Dushuo Ghost Gate behind him slowly rose, and a beam of light, like a bright moon, shone on the gate. Thousands of shadows walked towards the other side of the gate through that filter.

The silence and tranquility felt like holding hands and walking towards a shared tomorrow.

In that scene, Zhang You became the one who guided and saved everyone.

This footage was broadcast online and even appeared on television.

Although it sounds unreal and ethereal, it gives everyone hope.

All over the world.

Some people saw this at home, some saw it on the bus, and some saw it while looking up from under billboards or on the street.

"Immortal soul!"

"Reincarnation is immortal!"

This sentence is so powerful and alluring.

The Temple of Longevity has everyone in the world undergo a ritual, handing over their souls to them. In this way, when the Candle Dragon awakens and devours the world, all their souls will flow into the hands of the Temple of Longevity.

As for whether the Changsheng Temple will fulfill its promise, or even if it can fulfill it at all, no one knows.

but.

At such a critical juncture, this did not prevent everyone from pushing Zhang You to the pinnacle.

In an instant, Zhou Shentong's name was forgotten by the whole world, and Zhang You's name surpassed his.

In the East, Zhang You was regarded as a celestial being.

In the West, Zhang You was even more powerful; he was regarded as the incarnation of God and worshipped by all sides.

For a time, the whole world appeared to be in complete chaos.

Dushuo City.

Zhang You stood on the high platform, with a crowd of people below.

The stage still maintained a traditional Chinese style, but the audience was completely in the form of a press conference, with media from various countries in attendance.

Zhang You glanced at the recently filmed promotional video; his appearance and image were completely different from Zhou Shentong's.

Instead of projecting an air of superiority, he deliberately portrays himself as much more approachable, making him seem more like a positive character.

"that's it."

“Once it’s sent out, more people should participate in the ceremony.”

“We are saving people, so we must be more proactive. If we do more publicity now, we can collect more souls.”

“Every soul, that is…”

Before he could finish speaking, someone asked a question.

Is the awakening of the Candle Dragon truly inevitable?

Zhang You looked down and saw someone in the crowd asking the question.

However, Zhang You did not get angry; he simply said...

"Having come this far, are you still not accepting reality?"

"The reality is that mortals cannot resist the power of demons and gods; no one can withstand Zhulong."

Some people say, "I heard that Li Jun, who has double pupils, has entered the depths of Zhangwei Mountain, and it is rumored that he is going to kill Zhulong."

Zhang You smiled. Although he sensed that something was wrong with Li Jun, who possessed his own double pupils, he was probably the true "reincarnation" of some ancient deity.

However, he absolutely did not believe that Li Jun could kill Zhulong.

Zhang You pointed into the darkness: "The Candle Dragon is over there. What do you think could kill it?"

All eyes turned to the colossal creature, which stretched for thousands of miles, and everyone fell silent.

Zhang You let out a cold laugh, then turned and left, with a large number of Changsheng Temple disciples quietly following him.

At that moment, a beam of light shot into the sky.

"Woo!"

Everyone looked over and saw Li Jun riding Huang Quan out.

Then, they witnessed the candle dragon howling in agony before its tendons were pulled out.

In Dushuo City.

Zhang You, who was about to leave, stopped and turned around, just in time to see this scene.

He was stunned.

His eyes were filled with surprise, and his face showed shock.

And Zhang You wasn't the only one to see this.

Some people even saw it earlier, and the scene began with a sound.

"Come!"

"Listen to my orders!"

At night, all those affected and possessing a soul, or those destined to be reincarnated after death, heard this voice in their dreams.

Then, the mist in their dream dissipated layer by layer.

They then saw a figure standing on a rock, stepping on an overwhelming light.

The figure broke through the gates of the underworld and soared through the heavens.

He turned around, and one of his eyes emitted a light that illuminated the heavens and the netherworld, and everyone saw his appearance.

At that moment, many people recognized who it was.

"Li Jun with double pupils!"

As the light that illuminated the heavens and the earth fell upon the earth, everyone saw what lay below.

"Candle Dragon!"
-
Once everyone woke up, the internet erupted in excitement.

midnight.

Many people got up, and messages were subsequently spread online in various languages.

A large number of self-narrative videos were also created, with creators describing the dreams they saw in their videos.

Everything is related to that figure, and also to Zhulong.

"Did you see it?"

"I saw it!" "I saw it too."

"Li Jun with double pupils!"

"I saw him; he killed Zhulong."

"Am I not the only one who saw it?"

“We all saw it; he dismembered the Zhulong from its body, thus killing this terrifying demon god.”

"Li Jun with double pupils is really too strong. How did he manage to kill even the Candle Dragon?"

"That thing was thousands of miles long, and when it opened its eyes, it swallowed the light of the entire world. How could such a thing be killed? Just how powerful does it have to be to do something like that?"

"He disappeared for a long time. Some people said he was dead, while others said he went into hiding. It turns out he entered the body of Zhulong to find a way to kill Zhulong."

"Did you see his eye?"

"He's so incredibly handsome."

The news of Zhulong's death spread quickly, shaking the entire world like a thunderclap even in the middle of the night.

The thunderclap came so suddenly that no one had time to prepare.

Regardless of whether it is the Eastern Kingdom.

It's still about the concept of immortality.

And everyone in the world.

Everyone had begun to believe that the world was about to end, that everything was inevitable, and they were preparing for the worst.

but.

This is just speculation; everyone only saw this scene in their dreams through intuition, and it hasn't been completely confirmed yet.

However, a completely new message followed.

The news came from the Blackwater Country; videos and messages were being sent from there.

"The darkness over the Blackwater Kingdom has dissipated, it has all disappeared." Someone pointed their phone at the sky; although it was still dark, things could now be seen.

"Look! The stars in the sky! This is the first time in so long that we've seen stars in the sky, and the moon too!" The starry sky looked so ordinary, but the people in the video were shouting excitedly.

"The sun, the sun is rising! Look, it's the sun!" Finally, as the sun rose little by little, its sunlight traveled a great distance and fell on the earth.

At that moment, everyone around was cheering, some even kissing the ground in excitement, or rushing wildly towards the rising sun in the east.

This emotion was also transmitted to the other end of the video and live stream.

Countless people who witnessed this scene erupted in cheers and shouts; nothing could be more exhilarating than such a sight.

Dushuo City.

Zhang You stared intently into the distance.

After Zhou Shentong died, he knew that the other party was nothing more than a puppet, and the power of those hidden behind the scenes was beyond his imagination.

He knew that this world held countless secrets, and that true power had yet to be revealed.

However, he was still shocked by the scene.

It's like a frog in a well leaping out of the well for the first time and seeing the vast world outside.

"He even managed to kill Zhulong?"
-
Li Jun looked at the Three Lives Stone at his feet.

It was like a nail, pinning down this demon god of the underworld.

He steered it soaring into the sky, as if controlling a yellow galaxy winding across the heavens, intending to race like this until the end of the starry night.

It was no longer a sacrificial vessel, and Li Jun didn't even know what it was. It had neither sacrificial totems nor the contract signed with the Yellow Spring Demon God that it had initially been integrated into; it seemed to have nothing at all.

Or perhaps there are too many things inside, making it difficult for Li Jun to see its true nature for the time being.

"Woooo..."

As Huang Quan was extracted from Zhu Long's body, the entire darkness emitted strange wailing sounds, or perhaps lamentations.

The entire Zhangwei Mountain collapsed, and Li Jun saw Yu Jiang, and then he saw the shadow of the demon god Xuan Ming.

A fierce, icy wind, carrying extreme cold, blew in from the far north, striking Zhangwei Mountain, which blocked the road.

Subsequently, Mount Nazhangwei gradually melted away, transforming into a vast Black Sea of ​​the Northern Ocean.

Everything was like a replay of ancient times, only the process was different.

And immediately after.

The Yellow Springs River gradually disappeared beneath Li Jun's feet, sinking into the lower space or, in another form, hiding in an unknown place that did not belong to the present world.

The Three Lives Stone beneath his feet also fell down.

Li Jun looked at it.

Watching it sink little by little, sinking past the depths of Taoshan Island and Dushuo City, sinking past the depths of Zhangwei Mountain and Beiming.

It hasn't stopped yet, it keeps going downhill.

At this moment, Li Jun suddenly noticed a glimmer of light following the Three Lives Stone, which seemed to be something else.

He touched his forehead and instantly realized something.

"The eyes have also disappeared."

Ten thousand years have passed.

Who knows how many changes will occur in the process of the arrangements he made ten thousand years ago? To expect it to safely reach ten thousand years later is nothing but wishful thinking.

The stone changed.

The eyes have changed.

Even he himself was not the emperor from ten thousand years ago.

The Three Lives Stone and the eyes sank deeper and deeper into darkness.

Then he gradually blended into a shadow, and Li Jun looked at that shadow.

The shadow was blurry and indistinct; only its outline could be seen in the darkness.

But it exudes a sense of timelessness and immortality.

The other person looked up.

The eyes shone brightly at the end of time; one eye lit up first, and then the second one lit up immediately afterward.

Li Jun immediately recognized what it was.

"Double pupils!"

Immediately afterwards, more things began to appear at the feet and behind the shadow.

It was a city and a sacred mountain.

The sacred mountain is surrounded by clouds and mist, guarded by layers of ghosts and gods, and various demons and monsters that are controlled and ridden within it.

However, the demons and monsters that looked terrifying in the past no longer seemed so ferocious when they were set against the backdrop of the cloud-shrouded immortal mountains and the heavenly city. They no longer looked like demons but like guardian spirits.

"Who is that?"

"And what is that city?"

Li Jun looked at the figure and the city, which seemed to be something he had never seen before.

but.

He vaguely felt that it resembled the former capital of the emperor.

However, those things eventually sank down and disappeared into the lowest layer of this other space, as if they were covered and erased by the long river of time.

At this moment, Li Jun gradually withdrew all his power and fell little by little from the height, heading down towards Taoshan Island, Beiming, and Dushuo City. It was unknown where he would land.

As the power receded, the mutation of his body gradually returned to normal, and the golden light that enveloped him disappeared.

Li Jun examined his body again and found that his body had become even smaller, and he looked like he was starting to fall somewhere between a teenager and a child.

At the beginning.

He didn't understand why his body was in this state. Clearly, whether it was Da Li, Shao Li, or Xi Mu, they were all getting older and older, but his body was going against the flow of time.

But later he gradually understood that perhaps the bluebird also knew that his existence and time were different from ordinary people.

His life's journey not only flows from the past to the future, but also rolls back from the future to the past.

As it fell, another situation gradually emerged.

A figure emerged from the void, as if to pick him up.

Li Jun looked at the other person.

"Woman!"

The Peach Demoness has come to demand her price; she will take more of Li Jun's body, or rather, she wants to take all of Li Jun at once.

Li Jun fell from the sky, and Nuwa reached out from below to catch him.

He had used the power of the Peach Demoness many times this time. In fact, Li Jun's ability to walk among humans was due to the power of the Peach Demoness from the very beginning. Now it was finally time to settle the score.

However, at this moment, Li Jun untied another part of his body double.

far away.

Taoshan Island.

Amidst layers of golden light and in the unseen depths of space, beneath the shadow of a golden peach tree, a wooden statue bound by layers of roots suddenly vanished.

In an instant, the entire peach tree went berserk, with layers of golden light exploding outwards, like a sun rising from the depths of Taoshan Island.

The light distorted the heavens and earth, transforming into a massive vortex that swept everything around it.

"Boom!"

At the same time, the huge shadow of the peach tree appeared behind Li Jun.

A figure slowly descended from the top of the peach tree.

The Peach Demon Priestess appeared and pulled Li Jun back before the nun could catch him.
