The Shrouding the Heavens World ".
When Zhu Zhuyun asked them a question, Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Xiaoxiao exchanged a smile, a hint of pride in their eyes.
"Of course."
Jiang Wanwan nodded firmly, her tone filled with reverence, "Moreover, every empress in my Shrouding the Heavens World is an existence that has astonished throughout the ages, no less than any man."
Let's start with the Queen Mother of the West.
A hint of reminiscence appeared in Jiang Wanwan's eyes, "She was the first Great Emperor to emerge from the Jade Lake Holy Land, and also the first female emperor in human history with clear records."
" The Jade Lake Holy Land?"
Zhu Zhuqing blinked. "Is it the holy land that Sister Xiaoxiao mentioned before, a place full of women?"
"That's right."
Jiang Xiaoxiao picked up the conversation, a proud smile on her face, " The Queen Mother of the West was exceptionally talented. In that era, she swept aside all rivals, ultimately attaining the Dao and becoming an Empress. She created the ' Western Emperor Scripture,' one of the most important mother scriptures of Daoism, often mentioned alongside the ' Dao Scripture.'"
"Moreover," Jiang Wanwan smiled mysteriously, dropping an even more explosive message.
"Our Heavenly Court's first Empress, Tantai Guyue Jade Lake Holy Land before joining the Heavenly Court."
"What!?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun exclaimed in surprise at the same time, their beautiful eyes widening in shock.
The Jade Lake Holy Land, who later became the empress of the Heavenly Court?
This change in identity is absolutely astonishing!
"Then... was that empress also a Great Emperor?" Zhu Zhuyun couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Wanwan shook her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. "The Empress... although stunning, she did not become Empress."
However, her story with the Heavenly Emperor is a legendary tale that has been passed down through the ages.
"If it weren't for her, perhaps there would be no Heavenly Court later on."
She didn't elaborate, but the sigh in her voice made the Zhu Zhuqing sisters understand that it must have been a deeply unforgettable experience.
" The Jade Lake Holy Land, the Queen Mother of the West..."
Zhu Zhuqing memorized those two names, her eyes shining with unwavering determination.
The fact that a Great Emperor emerged from a sacred land inhabited entirely by women greatly encouraged her.
"However," Jiang Wanwan changed the subject, her tone becoming extremely solemn, even carrying a hint of indescribable awe.
"If I had to pick the empress I admire most, and the one who am most unbelievable to me, it would definitely not be the Queen Mother of the West, but... the Ruthless Empress."
" Ruthless Empress?"
Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun were both taken aback, and strange expressions appeared on their faces.
Ruthless?
This name... is so weird!
What kind of girl has such a name?
Not only them, but all the female Soul Master on the entire Douluo Continent who were intently watching the Heavenly Screen also froze for a moment.
" Ruthless... an empress?"
Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong sat on the Pope throne, her body leaning slightly forward. Her phoenix eyes, which had originally shone with ambition, were now filled with a strange look.
She murmured those four words, her brow furrowing slightly.
" Ruthless... that name doesn't sound like a righteous person."
As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong has an unusual sensitivity to the word "ruthless".
She herself is known for her ruthless and decisive actions. For revenge and power, she is willing to sacrifice everything, including her disciples and even her own soul.
Even so, she didn't dare, or rather, never thought of, using " Ruthless " as her title.
This not only didn't sound like a sacred title for Great Emperor, but it also carried a chilling, malevolent aura.
"A woman, known for her 'ruthlessness,' was even revered as an empress..."
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered uncertainly, yet an inexplicable sense of resonance rose within her.
Perhaps only such a title is worthy of a truly ruthless and merciless being who views all living beings as mere ants?
" Ruthless Empress... that's such a domineering name!"
At the Eastsea Academy, Gu Yuena's purple eyes sparkled with a strange light.
She herself is the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all Soul Beast, and the domineering and arrogant nature of the dragon race flows in her bones.
The word "ruthless" didn't seem inappropriate to her; instead, it stirred a deep-seated emotion within her.
"That's more like it! Great Emperor should have this kind of spirit! Who cares about good or evil, right or wrong, power is Eternal!"
Gu Yuena clenched her fists, and in an instant, she felt an overwhelming sense of goodwill and longing for the Ruthless Empress she had never met.
" Ruthless? That's a name..."
At the Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong shrank back.
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up as she excitedly waved her little fists. " Ruthless Empress! How majestic! How domineering! Just hearing her name tells you she's a decisive and ruthless figure who sweeps away everything!"
"But..." Ning Rongrong said weakly, "Isn't this name a bit too fierce for a girl?"
"Why are you being so fierce!"
Xiao Wu stood with her hands on her hips, looking at Ning Rongrong with a disappointed expression, " Rongrong, your awareness is too low!"
This is Great Emperor! A being who suppressed an entire era!
Are we supposed to call her "cutie" or "sweetie"? That would be truly embarrassing!
"I think Xiao Wu is right."
Tang San nodded, " The Great Emperor was someone who ascended to the pinnacle by treading on countless bones. The word 'ruthless' is perhaps the best interpretation of her path."
"But..."
He paused, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, "I'm also very curious, what exactly did this empress do to deserve such an extraordinary title?"
Inside the palace of the Shrouding the Heavens World ".
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing and Zhu Zhuyun's hesitant and strange expressions, Jiang Wanwan and Jiang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but exchange a smile, clearly not surprised by their reaction.
"What? Do you find this name strange?"
Jiang Wanwan reached out and pinched Zhu Zhuqing's cheek, her tone slightly teasing.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded subconsciously, then realized something was amiss and quickly shook her head, whispering, "No, no... it's just that it feels... very special."
"Special?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao burst out laughing, her body trembling with mirth. " Zhu Zhuqing, you're so tactful. You mean to say that this name doesn't sound like a good person, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing blushed slightly and lowered her head shyly.
"Actually, it's normal for you to feel this way."
Jiang Wanwan's smile faded, and a hint of reminiscence and emotion appeared on her beautiful face.
" The Ruthless Empress, she wasn't born with this name."
"This title is the evaluation of her by later generations, and also the most accurate reflection of her life's deeds."
"Evaluate?"
Zhu Zhuyun keenly caught the word and asked curiously, "Did she do something... earth-shattering?"
"Earth-shattering?"
Jiang Wanwan shook her head, her tone becoming incredibly complex, filled with an indescribable sense of awe.
"These four words are too understated to describe her."
