My whole clan is a master, I have become invincible by investing in my clan members

Ji Xiutian slowly closed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Father... Since I have placed you in this situation, I will sacrifice my life and go to the underworld together to atone for my sins."

"I hope that in my next life, I can still serve Chi Yan, and that the Eastern Region will never be invaded by foreign enemies."

"I wish... to be my father's child again."

At this moment, there was no distance between the king and his subjects, Ji Xiutian was just his father's son.

Although he was extremely disappointed with his father, if he had the chance to do it again, he would still be willing to be the Red Emperor's child.

The image on the photo stone gradually faded, and the room fell into silence.

Ji Xiuping fell to his knees, clutching the ground with both hands, sobbing uncontrollably: "Brother... why didn't you tell me... why did you have to bear all this alone?"

Ji Ling'er trembled slightly, the words stuck in her throat, but she couldn't make any sound.

Jiang Ming stood aside, his heart also overwhelmed by complex emotions.

He took a deep breath and whispered, "Ji Xiutian...you are a big shot."

Jiang Yan's eyes were heavy, and his heart was filled with emotion: "Ji Xiutian, your persistence deserves everyone's respect."

Ji Xiutian, this young man who is willing to sacrifice his life for justice, has firm beliefs. He loves his father, his brothers and sisters, and the land of the Eastern Region.

Jiang Yan remembered this name deeply - Ji Xiutian.

..........

At this moment, Chi Huang stood aside, as if he had lost all his strength.

The majesty of that generation of emperors has collapsed.

His face was as pale as paper and his eyes were empty and lifeless.

Ji Xiutian’s last words, “I hope to be my father’s child again in the next life,” were like a heavy hammer, completely shattering all his pride.

At this moment, Chi Huang was no longer the almighty king, but just a father who had lost his son.

He stared blankly ahead, countless memories swirling in his mind - the little boy riding on his shoulders, his childish voice once saying to him: "Father, you are my hero!"

Chi Huang's heart sank suddenly and tears flashed in his eyes.

"Hero..." he murmured, as if immersed in past memories, his voice so soft that it was almost inaudible.

"Yes, once upon a time, I was his hero..."

Memories come flooding back like a tide.

At that time, he had not yet been consumed by the desire for power, and still harbored the ideal of protecting the Eastern Region. He was a hero in his son's heart and the father that Ji Xiutian admired.

However, now the boy who admired heroes has become a real hero.

But he himself became the target of Ji Xiutian's resistance.

Chi Huang loosened his clenched fists, his eyes filled with regret and loss: "I lost... I lost..."

He slowly closed his eyes, as if he recognized himself at this moment.

What he lost was not only his kingdom, but also his own beliefs.

Afterwards, the Red Emperor slowly turned around and said in a low voice, "Today's events were all caused by me alone. If the Blue Emperor wants to punish me, just take my life... The others are still unknown, so I hope the Blue Emperor can forgive them."

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice: "His Majesty has ordered that only the lives of Chi Huang and Shun Wang be taken. The rest of Chi Yan will be exempted from responsibility."

"Only take the lives of Prince Shun and me..." Chi Huang repeated softly, a bitter smile on his face, and shook his head. "Never mind, this is the best outcome."

Upon hearing this, Prince Shun’s defense was instantly broken.

His face suddenly turned pale as paper.

His knees softened and he fell to the ground, as if he had lost all his dignity.

"Master Jiang Ming! No! No! Don't kill me! I'm just following orders. These are all orders from the Scarlet Emperor. I'm just an innocent pawn!"

Prince Shun's voice trembled, and his heart was filled with despair.

He kowtowed repeatedly, his face covered in cold sweat, and spoke incoherently: "Please! Let me go! I can do anything, I can offer anything, I only ask you to spare my life!"

After saying this, he looked towards the Red Emperor, trying to grasp the last glimmer of hope: "Brother Emperor, save me...save me!"

Chi Huang looked at him coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes, only deep disgust and disappointment.

He slowly turned his gaze away, no longer looking at Prince Shun, and whispered, "Prince Shun, you chose this path yourself... What's the point of begging for mercy?"

Prince Shun was completely panicked. He shook his head frantically and struggled continuously, his fingers clawing at the ground, his voice becoming increasingly shrill: "No... No... I don't want to die! Lord Jiang Ming, please, let me go!"

However, Jiang Ming just looked at Prince Shun coldly, without any emotion.

Those cold eyes seemed to see through everything, making Prince Shun's plea for mercy seem pale and powerless.

as time flows.

Prince Shun's voice grew smaller and smaller.

He finally realized that no one would pay attention to his pleas.

Finally, Prince Shun collapsed to the ground, his whole body limp. His eyes were empty as he muttered, "It's over... Today is over..."

The Red Emperor watched this scene and sighed softly, "Prince Shun, let's set out together today."

“Perhaps, this is also a kind of relief.”

Upon hearing this, Prince Shun's face turned pale and he didn't move at all.

Chi Huang slowly closed his eyes, as if he had let go of everything.

He looked up at the sky, with only the last bit of calmness left in his eyes.

"In this life, I've been a king, and I've had great ambitions... but unfortunately, I lost in the end."

After saying this, he looked at Ji Ling'er who was not far away and whispered, "Ling'er, father is sorry for you..."

Ji Ling'er burst into tears, her vision blurred by tears.

She lowered her head, suppressing the pain in her heart, not daring to look Chi Huang in the eye.

At this time, Chi Huang looked at Ji Xiuping again: "Xiuping, Chi Yan's future depends entirely on you."

"You are the future of the Red Flame Dynasty. You must protect the Eastern Region and assist the Cang Emperor. Don't be as foolish as your father."

Ji Xiuping raised his head coldly, his tone icy and ruthless: "You are not qualified to teach me!"

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Chi Huang's heart.

His expression was no longer calm and his body couldn't stop shaking.

At this moment, he realized that he had lost the trust and love of his other son.

Chi Huang clenched his fists, his lips trembled slightly, he wanted to say something, but he could no longer speak.

Ji Xiuping's cold attitude completely shattered the last bit of pride and dignity in his heart.

He sighed softly, "What a failed life it really is."

After that, there was no more words.

With a determined look on his face, he drew his sword and committed suicide without hesitation.

In an instant, the breath dissipated.

Chi Huang ended his life.

Ji Xiuping looked at Chi Huang's body calmly, without any ripples in his eyes.

On this day, he lost his father, his brother, and so much more.

“Am I really suited for this position?”

Ji Xiuping couldn't help but laugh at himself, his heart filled with confusion and emptiness.
