The scene of the Chenggong Mountains, the story within the Black Mountain Camp, occurred tonight in many places. The Western Sea Army returning to the capital was stopped at the Guiyuan Mountains, the one entering its camp Archbishop An Lin of the Li Palace. Crucially, the Tianhai clan succeeded in their plan of preventing two armies from entering the capital.
Tonight was the most crucial night for all of the human world that opposed the Tianhai Divine Empress. All of her enemies and opponents, even her own relatives, stood up and displayed an unimaginable strength.
……
……
”You don't even know who your own son is. What right do you have to rule the Great Zhou?
”You can't even control the human world; why prattle on about resisting the Heavenly Dao?
”You can control nothing, not even your own fate.
”Tianhai, just abdicate.”
Daoist Ji had left the street.
The puddles on the street still seemed to contain his footprints.
The sounds of butchering meat had stopped. The sounds of fighting all over the capital had most likely finally warned the butchers that some momentous event was occurring in the world.
In this very brief amount of time, the entire situation had undergone a world-shaking transformation.
The Imperial Design had once more sunk into the earth, its awe-inspiring array energy had vanished, and various places in the capital had fallen into turmoil. The several armies speedily returning to the capital had all, for various reasons, had their march halted. Some armies were still attempting to continue forward in the torrential rain, but it was very obvious that it was already impossible for them to promptly arrive.
The Mausoleum of Books was very silent, abnormally silent, so silent that it felt rather strange.
The Tianhai Divine Empress stood at the edge of the Divine Path, her hands held behind her. She looked down at the capital, a mocking smile suddenly appearing on her sublimely beautiful face.
This world was once hers.
It was not known whether this mocking smile of hers was aimed at the world or at herself.
Then, she turned towards that ever-silent Li Palace in the northwest part of the capital.
At this moment, that voice anticipated by countless people for such a long time finally spoke.
The Pope's voice was very calm, but everyone could hear his regret.
”We were all wrong. Only Mei Lisha was correct.”
The Divine Empress slightly arched her brow, seemingly rather interested in hearing the next part.
The Pope thought of his old friend and thought of those past conversations, and his tone became very sorrowful. ”He always believed that you would ultimately choose to save Changsheng, no matter who Changsheng was.”
”And as long as you chose to save him, you would immediately fall into this plight.”
Daoist Ji's voice came from the plains to the north of the capital.
His body appeared in the autumn grass. Ten-odd li away at the city gate, the jade ruyi containing a limitless spiritual energy had just appeared.
”I always believed that these were choices offered by me to you, but in reality, these were the choices offered to you from the Heavenly Dao.”
Daoist Ji stood in the grass and calmly spoke, his voice resounding in the night sky in front of the Mausoleum of Books.
”Kill him, eat him, or save him. These are all choices, but no matter what you choose, they're all wrong. Only not answering this question, not making a choice, was correct. Amongst all these incorrect choices, you even made the stupidest choice, thus turning your plight into a desperate one.”
The Tianhai Divine Empress calmly replied, ”Plights and desperation? Who in the world has the right to say these two words to me?”
