Chapter 1885: Narrow Road For Enemies (2/2)

These older characters were quite impressed. Any woman would lose their rationality after having their brother and father killed. Vengeance would be on their mind, especially when she had military power.

But she chose against it and didn’t even want her husband to be distracted. She wanted his full focus on obtaining the Heaven’s Wills.

Meanwhile, Jilin Princess who was with Li Qiye commented: “Heavenly Phoenix Princess is very rational despite coming from an imperial lineage. She’s indeed worthy of becoming the imperial queen.”

Li Qiye replied: “It’s understandable. She’s an outsider yet the War-Monarch Clan still gave her great authority. Even if the ancestors of that clan have grown senile, their experienced Grand Emperors certainly aren’t. The decision to entrust her wasn’t something an ordinary person in the clan could decide, they needed permission from someone like War-Monarch Heaven Emperor. And for this high-level character, they wouldn’t pick an ordinary girl to be their daughter-in-law.”

Li Qiye was only casually commenting on what he had heard about Heavenly Phoenix Princess. Nevertheless, he got all the essential facts straight right away.

The princess felt that this was correct since she was from an imperial lineage as well. It wasn’t easy for someone outside the clan to be in power. It showed the trust the clan had placed in Heavenly Phoenix Princess.

But this was also the reason for her family’s demise. Her brother and father thought they had an unbelievably strong backing so they treated others with contempt, resulting in their death.

The two were in Buddhist Plain right now, an endless plain was in sight. Strange enough, it was hard for Exploration Grounds to have any vegetation. Not to mention a tree, not even a gra.s.s could be seen.

This was not the case for Buddhist Plain. There were yellow gra.s.ses growing everywhere on this plain. They fluttered in the wind like beautiful ladies.

However, these gra.s.ses had a yellow dryness upon inception and looked a bit burnt. They gave the feeling of being near-death, as if they carried a fatal disease right away and could wither at any moment.

Nevertheless, these young gra.s.ses persevered and populated the plain.

“How can gra.s.ses grow in this place?” Jilin Princess had heard curious stories about the plain.

Despite their sorry state, they still had life unlike other places in Exploration Ground.

“Exploration Grounds consisted of broken temporal planes like a shattered river of time. Each of these epochs had been destroyed. Thus, life cannot grow here, unless there is something extremely heaven-defying going on. The phenomenon you see here is quite mystical.”

“How so?” The princess yearned for more knowledge.

“A safeguarding power.” Li Qiye said: “In fact, the existences of these broken continents alone are impressive enough. They contained the power of an entire world or they wouldn’t have survived when the river of time broke. However, this place is different from the rest.”

The princess listened without interrupting.

“One day, when the world is on the verge of collapsing, what is your course of action?” Li Qiye looked at her and asked.

“Self-preservation.” The princess didn’t need to think. Her answer was simply common sense, an instinct in all creatures!
