I sat quietly, slowly flowing into everyone's hearts like a gentle stream, gradually infiltrating their souls and leading them into a completely unfamiliar world filled with countless fears.
A world created entirely by my own hands.
I would ensure that no one could harm the Jin Kingdom, that no one could attempt to destroy its people, its possessions, or anything related to it.
Thinking this, I smiled lightly, as if I were a devil descending upon the world. I continued at a measured pace:
"After the Battle of Feishui, a historically famous battle where the few triumphed over the many, the Qin State suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Jin State and never recovered... Among the various lords, the Song State under Yuanjia once flourished magnificently, riding the winds and breaking through thousands of waves, but soon fell into decline... The Northern Wei under Empress Dowager held power; after her death, the Emperor of Wei took control and created the brilliant Xianbei Miracle... Following the brutal and foolish Emperor of Liang and the capricious Hou Jing... The tragic downfall of a great poet, Chen Houzhu... The world that has long been divided must eventually unite; after nearly a hundred years of disputes among various states, one nation unified the country. Although that nation was later overthrown and replaced by new ones... Ultimately, all turmoil disappeared... The grand unification began, and new dynasties rose slowly. However," I said, feeling somewhat parched, taking a sip of my now-cold tea before continuing, "no nation can exist forever without heeding the voices of its people; no Sovereign is absolutely correct or divinely ordained... There is no sun that never sets in this world!" I said coldly.
I stood up and coldly surveyed the crowd, all of whom were dumbfounded. Then I smiled resolutely, captivating all.
I looked at them and spoke each word deliberately: "Is there anyone else who wishes to challenge the Jin Kingdom? Is there anyone still wanting to stand before me to showcase your brilliance and prestige?"
Suddenly, a man as radiant as jade stood up amidst their gazes.
Dressed in brocade under the golden sunlight, he stood tall against the wind. He exuded an unparalleled noble aura that made him appear no less than that unmatched woman in the world.
With a smile at the corner of his mouth, his voice was hoarse and difficult to articulate, as if his vocal cords were damaged. Yet he still managed to force out: "I will forever stand against the Jin Kingdom."
The girl seemed startled and turned to look at this man who gazed at her with a smile yet spoke such arrogant words. However, she noticed that what he represented was not just the Jin State but himself.
Why would a Sovereign say such things?
She looked at him calmly and for some reason remained silent for a long time before finally parting her lips to ask: "Why?"
The man spoke with difficulty, opening his mouth but still insisting on using a voice that sounded as if it had been burned, softly saying, "Because I want to find my wife."
The girl furrowed her brow slightly, but in the end, she merely murmured, "Wife? What is that...?"
She seemed puzzled, and after a long time without receiving an answer, her eyes gradually deepened. Then, not long after, they suddenly lightened, becoming clear and bright.
"I don't know you. You've mistaken me for someone else," the girl said calmly, leaving the man in a state of sorrow, surrounded by an endless grayness.
He looked at her, gazing deeply into her eyes, and eventually smiled faintly. His smile was like a gentle breeze, devoid of blame, filled only with boundless acceptance—acceptance of everything in the world and everything about her.
The girl stood there, as if she were a kingfisher soaring lightly through the air. The sky changed dramatically in an instant as spirits descended to shield the sun. She arrived as if riding in a golden chariot drawn by phoenixes. The sound of the dragon's chariot echoed like thunder, with feathers flying high as they grasped the reins. Behind her, clouds and mist billowed like banners in the wind, golden light spreading eastward.
The subjects of the Jin Kingdom silently wished: May we travel together across the great river, where autumn winds stir the waters into great waves.
May we bathe in your majestic pool under the rising sun in Mountain Valley.
May we exist eternally together, our souls intertwined.
May we accompany you forever, united across the land.
Suddenly, a chorus of birdsong filled the sky as if celebrating someone. The music was urgent with booming drums; flutes and bells played harmoniously. The girl in white floated gracefully and swore to the heavens: "Today I, An Jin, prophesy here: The Jin Kingdom will exist forever as a source of spirit. As long as the Jin Kingdom stands, no nation shall be destroyed or interfered with in any matter visible to those on this continent. However, if any nation dares to provoke the Jin Kingdom, it will issue a decree of annihilation across the entire continent; except for innocent subjects, all others will surely be drenched in blood. I, An Jin, will not show mercy.
Moreover, in the future, all nations present will vanish from this continent forever—lost to the annals of history."
The girl's expression remained calm as she uttered this prophecy that many were unwilling to believe yet found hard to dismiss.
A cold-blooded, ruthless curse. A curse that spans several lifetimes.
The stories that flowed from her lips seemed like a destined fate, foreshadowing their future lives. Some felt despair, some hopelessness, and others believed their souls were bargaining with demons, even attempting to seize his territory and people before the Demon Face.
At that moment, those who had come to this place realized they had made an irreparable mistake in this lifetime, and they would never forget what they experienced today. They would coexist with this nightmare day and night. Even their descendants would be affected by this prophecy.
The prophecy she spoke of was more like an everlasting curse left upon the entire continent. As long as she did not retract it for a single day, this curse would forever accompany their lives through eternity. They would never find peace.
They finally understood the terror of offending the Jin Kingdom and the horror of crossing the Jin Nation Young Master. She was no mere human; she was the Asura Demoness, the Nine Heavens Goddess.
Sima Rui looked at An Jin, who appeared both desperate and deranged. His face was filled with pity, and his heart ached.
He was no stranger; he understood her contradictions and sorrow at this moment. It felt like a sudden surge of a river drowning her, leaving her to struggle in the currents of thought. Her pain, her kindness, everything about her flashed vividly in his mind.
He had no regrets—he would never regret everything he had done for her.
Even now, when he lacked the ability to speak, even when he could not protect or comfort her by her side, even when he could not tell her that he loved her.
Chen Wen watched her master and then looked at the one who had transformed completely—gone was any trace of humility or submission; instead, she stood proudly above the world, poised at the pinnacle of existence. She had become another person, yet this version of her seemed to be the one his master had always longed for.
The unparalleled beauty of Jin Shao!
The girl’s expression was somewhat bewildered, but more than that was a terrifying emptiness. She spoke coldly, “I told you long ago not to touch An Yijun. I said it before—why didn’t you listen? Why do you still force me?” Her voice was faint and weak, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
The girl stood up, and suddenly the other Hidden kings appeared silently around them.
It had been a long time since the Four Kings had appeared. It was as if she understood that her expression signaled her intent to leave. Respectfully, he followed behind her, preparing to depart.
Vermilion Bird King Mai Qi. Xuanwu King Qingci. White Tiger King Lian. Azure Dragon King Song Kong.
"You lied to me... An Jin, you lied to me..." The man in red looked at the resolute woman leaving with despair in his eyes.
The girl let out a cold laugh and turned to say, "Yes, I lied to you. I came here today just to humiliate you, to make you pay the price for hurting An Yijun."
"Don't you want to save her?"
The girl scoffed, "If it meant giving up the entire Jin Kingdom in exchange for An Yijun's life in such a humiliating way, I would feel no pity or reluctance. I could abandon anyone in the Jin Kingdom without hesitation. However, if she were to learn the whole truth, then before I could save her, she would take her own life. My child will not live under such threats." There was a slight flicker of emotion and sadness in her eyes, but more than that was determination and resolve.
"What if I only need one thing—not your heart, not your Jin Kingdom—and it would save her? Would you be willing?" The Red-Clad Man suddenly spoke coldly.
The girl turned her head, looking at him with curiosity.
"What is it?"
