Chapter 1479 - Brahma Soul Bell (2/2)
This was the implication behind those words:
Qianye Fantian had already determined one thing, if Xia Qingyue did not come and purge the poison in his body, he would definitely die.
He was the one who was afflicted by the poison and devilish energy, so he would naturally be the person who was most clear about the state of his body.
“If I die…” Qianye Fantian said in a low voice as he slowly closed his eyes, “bury me together… with your mother.”
Those words provoked a mocking laugh from Qianye Ying’er, “Ha, what a joke! Are you even worthy of that!?”
“...” Qianye Fantian was wracked with pain and his lips faintly trembled, he was not able to say anything else for a long period of time.
Without sparing Qianye Fantian, who was currently being plagued by both deadly poison and devilish energy, another glance, Qianye Ying’er, who had received the Brahma Soul Bell and who now held the core lifeline of the Brahma Monarch God Realm in her hands, coldly turned around. She left just like that in front of the shocked and trembling gazes of the gathered Brahma Kings, as if she was completely unconcerned about Qianye Fantian’s fate.
“God Emperor, you… what exactly are you…” the First Brahma King shook his head heavily. Shock and fear plagued his heart, but what really filled his heart was a deep confusion.
“You don’t need to say another word!” Qianye Fantian’s voice was growing even more hoarse and weak, yet it was still extremely hard and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation. “Even if this king… is truly going to die… we must still never bend our heads to the Moon God Realm… NEVER!!”
“The God Emperor is absolutely right, how can we so easily bow our heads to the Moon God Realm?” The First Brahma King’s hands were tightly balled into fists and a malicious aura surged from every part of his body. “However, since this matter concerns the God Emperor’s life, neither can we simply keep waiting like this! I will now personally lead all the Brahma Kings to the Moon God Realm and send a sound transmission to the other king realms so that we can pressure the Moon God Realm together! If the Moon God Realm isn’t willing to submit… then we will forcefully attack! And force her to submit!”
“Ha, how naive,” Qianye Fantian said with a twisted cold laugh. “Back when Yue Wuya was still around, the Moon God Realm would definitely not dare to provoke us in the slightest. But why does she, Xia Qingyue, dare to do so? All of us know that Xia Qingyue caused this incident, but that idea of forming a so-called alliance with the other king realms to pressure the Moon God Realm is a complete joke… Because the devilish energy in my body came from the Evil Infant, and the poison in my body came from the Sky Poison Pearl… What does any of this have to do with the Moon God Realm!?”
“...” The First Brahma King was fiercely stunned by those words.
“If we try to forcefully pressure the Moon God Realm, we will be acting without any justification whatsoever! Furthermore, given Xia Qingyue’s cunning, she will definitely use this opportunity to borrow the Eternal Heaven God Realm’s power using proper channels to counterattack… Moreover…” Qianye Fantian violently gasped for breath at this moment, “the poison that I am afflicted with is the Sky Poison Pearl’s poison! The only ones that can purge this poison are the Sky Poison Pearl and Yun Che! But the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor is the one standing behind Yun Che! And that is also the biggest reason why Xia Qingyue dared to be so bold.”
“And right now, Yun Che is in the Moon God Realm! If we dare to compel them with force and launch a strong attack on the Moon God Realm, then it would involve Yun Che’s safety and put his life at risk. So do you think… that the Heaven Smiting Devil Emperor will simply sit on the sidelines and watch if that happens!?”
The First Brahma King felt as if ice water had been poured over his entire body as a chill pervaded his heart and soul. He stood there in a daze for a long time and the profound energy and malice in his heart that had just surged up began to disperse like a tide. He bowed his head and barked out a miserable laugh before he said in a powerless voice, “Could it be that the only route left to us is to… bow our heads and beg?”
“Bow our heads and beg? Ha…” Qianye Fantian barked out a cold laugh. “You are never… to bring up those five words ever again!”
Just as he finished speaking, the aura behind him immediately grew chaotic. He swiftly focused and suppressed it...
However, at the moment his eyes were about to close, an incomparably gloomy and strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
…………
The borders of Brahma Heaven City, in an exceptionally quiet and secluded forest.
A green stone tablet was erected in the center of this secluded forest, as if it was being protected by all of the water and wood spirits in this place.
A golden figure flashed into existence in front of that tablet. At this moment, there was no aura radiating from her body and she was bereft of all of her sinister coldness and might. After that… she slowly sank to her knees in front of the stone tablet.
She lifted up both hands and the Brahma Soul Bell, which shone with a soul-scorching golden light, lay in them. Her delicate head drooped and her voice was as faint as smoke and mist, “Mother… do you see this, it’s the Brahma Soul Bell, it has fallen into Ying’er’s hands now… This was Ying’er’s ambition all those years ago and the promise that I made to you. At that time, you would always laugh and say that Ying’er was being silly… But right now, Ying’er has already made everything a reality… You can definitely see it… right…”
The only thing that replied to her was a light breeze.
“Mother, you… why won’t you answer me, why can’t I feel any of your joy? Did you… also sense it?” She gently spoke to the tablet as she slowly cradled the Brahma Soul Bell in her hands. “I have worked for my entire life to obtain it and in order to obtain it, I did not hesitate to do anything. But, why… now that it’s finally fallen into my hands, do I not feel the slightest bit of joy…”
“Could it be that all of my hard work, everything I have done over the years, was not actually because of it…”
“……”
“Mother, after you departed to heaven, you were posthumously conferred the title of god empress, and you were the last and only god empress he had. He personally killed that wicked woman that harmed you and stripped her of all of her titles, every trace of her was erased, even her name… I used to hate him so much, yet I am no longer able to hate or resent him anymore.”
“Over the years, he has treated me differently from all of his other children… He said that no matter what happens to me in the future, even if I sink into mediocrity, I will still be the future king of the Brahma Monarch God Realm, its only king. Because I am the only child begotten by him and his god empress…”
“He is a ruthless person and he has taught me countless times to be a ruthless person as well. He even taught me to use or abandon him without any hesitation if it was necessary. However, over all these years, no matter how cruel, fierce, or stubborn he was, I was the only person that he never treated that way…”
“Today, he even handed over the Brahma Soul Bell to me just like that, without any hesitation whatsoever.”
Qianye Ying’er closed her eyes as she said in a very soft voice, “Mother, you tell me, is the answer in my heart really true…”
“Back then, all of my hard work was so that you would no longer be despised or bullied. But after you left, all of my hard work was actually so that I… would live up to all the effort that he had invested in me and all the hopes that he had placed on me…”
“He… Hehe… How laughable… This is simply too ridiculous… too ridiculous…”
“How could this possibly be true… How could it possibly be true…”
As she let out those mournful and cold laughs, the Brahma Soul Bell in her hands emitted a soft soul-piercing sound.
She knelt in this place and remained motionless for a very long time, like a soulless ice sculpture.
After an hour had passed, she finally slowly got to her feet. She turned her gaze towards the northwest as she softly muttered in a low and cold voice, “Xia Qingyue… You win!”
