"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins are inescapable." Su Hang lowered his head and said, "Justice resides in the hearts of the people; you should honestly accept their judgment."
"Captain, people will die, people will really die!" Lin Ying cried bitterly, frantically kissing Su Hang's shoes. "I surrender to you, I pledge my loyalty to you, I repent to you, please give me another chance."
Su Hang ignored it.
"Where's the security?" Huyan Lan, whose earrings were adorned with sparkling heart-shaped diamonds, shouted sharply, "Get this person off the stage right now!"
Upon hearing this, security personnel rushed onto the stage, one on each side, and lifted the disheveled Lin Ying off the stage. Her cries and pleas gradually faded into the distance, "Captain, give me another chance, give me another chance..."
With the culprit, Nurarihyon, removed from the stage, the war between the Sovereign Dominion Imperial Crown came to a complete end.
This is a perfect ending that makes everyone happy.
The Imperial Emperor won the bet, regained the Imperial Crown, and once again became the Captain of the Imperial Crown.
Silver Dragon Phoenix Mountain Lord and other core members of the Imperial Crown swore allegiance again, reconciled with the Imperial Emperor, and their relationship returned to what it was before.
The fans of Imperial Crown and the fans of Sovereign Dominion are no longer hostile to each other, but are as close as brothers and sisters, and are proud of their idol, Imperial Emperor, who is the Exalted Emperor.
Hosts Ying Kai and Ling'er walked onto the stage hand in hand.
Ling'er smiled broadly and said, "Alright, viewers here and watching on TV, since the Champion Emperor's team is unable to continue the competition, according to the rules of the tournament, the Challenger team automatically wins. Let's congratulate Exalted Emperor Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor!"
A deafening cheer erupted from the Sovereign Dominion section on the east side.
Ying Kai declared passionately, "To all Summoners here, let me hear your voices! The title of the Exalted Emperor Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor is—"
A roar erupted from the Sovereign Dominion fan section on the east side.
" Imperial Emperor!"
The stage spotlights shone on the Sovereign Dominion competition area, but after shining for a long time, they couldn't catch a glimpse of the Imperial Emperor.
"Huh? Where's my brother?" Jiang Sui rushed onto the stage, utterly astonished. " Sister Lan, where did my brother go?"
"They were just here a moment ago." Huyan Lan was also somewhat stunned. "How could they disappear in the blink of an eye?"
The other core members of the Imperial Crown successively discovered that the Imperial Emperor had disappeared. Some were puzzled, some were surprised, but most were completely bewildered.
Yin Long stroked his chin and pondered, "Could it be that the captain thinks Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor would damage his status as the number one player in the King's Canyon, and is simply running away to refuse the Champion Emperor?"
"Damn it, that makes sense." Hu Xiao nodded. "After all, Brother Su participated in the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor to reclaim the Imperial Crown. As for the empty title of Crowned Champion Emperor, he doesn't care about it at all."
Everyone present nodded in agreement.
"There's something strange about this that I can't quite put my finger on." As if sensing something, Huyan Lan suddenly turned around, looking towards the venue exit, [her heart-shaped diamond earring swaying], "Where did you go, Su Hang?"
Late at night, on Chang'an Avenue in the capital.
"Even if I take the fastest flight back to Jiangcheng, it will take about 3 hours. I only have one hour left, which is simply not enough time."
Su Hang put away his phone. He used to not understand the older generation's obsession with returning to their roots, even if it meant dying far from home, they insisted on being buried there. Now, an hour before his death, he understood.
This is a sentiment deeply ingrained in the Huaxia people.
"Although I don't know how I'll die, if I were to suddenly die in public, it would definitely scare them."
Su Hang looked back at the Bird's Nest Bird's Nest, where the Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor was held, and murmured, "It's better to die somewhere no one will notice."
A night breeze blew, and red flags fluttered on both sides of Chang'an Avenue. Su Hang walked slowly with his hands in his pockets and his head down until he felt a bright red light coming from his right front. Only then did he stop and look up.
It was a majestic vermilion city gate tower, with the solemn national emblem hanging between the double eaves, rows of large red lanterns hanging under the corridor, and a portrait of a great man hanging in the center above the city platform. The red slogans on both sides were both familiar and unfamiliar.
It's Tiananmen Gate Tower.
Su Hang walked into Tiananmen Square, leaned against the white railings, and looked up at the Tiananmen Gate Tower. He had had many opportunities to visit Tiananmen before, but each time he had to cancel his trip for various reasons.
I never imagined that in the last hour of my life, I would actually be able to see Tiananmen Square. It would be a lie to say I wasn't happy.
Do I really have the power to change the world?
Looking at Tiananmen Gate Tower, Su Hang couldn't help but recall his earlier "outrageous remarks" when Crowned and Proclaimed Emperor, which transformed this world, where interests reigned supreme, into a world where loyalty reigned supreme, and where genuine human relationships were built upon loyalty.
Honestly, he's just a player of Honor of Kings. He struggles to even change the King of Glory community, let alone change the world.
"Little friend, you seem a bit confused."
A gentle and kind female voice sounded from behind.
Su Hang was slightly taken aback, then turned around to look.
On a vermilion bench sat an elderly woman, dressed in a white coat, with clear, bright red eyes, and heart-shaped diamond earrings swaying gently from her earlobes. Her hands were folded on her lap, exuding tranquility and elegance.
"Y-you... hello." A sense of closeness rose in Su Hang's heart. "Um, you might have misunderstood, I'm not confused about anything."
The elderly woman in the white coat said kindly, "No, your eyes look exactly like mine did more than eighty years ago. It perfectly matches the meaning of the lilac knot: bewilderment, confusion, and a longing for someone to help you."
"More than eighty years ago?" Su Hang was taken aback and asked incredulously, "Grandma, if I may ask, how old are you this year?"
The old woman tucked her white hair behind her ears, the gold ring on her ring finger shimmering. Her voice was gentle as she said, "I'm one hundred and one years old."
"One hundred and one years old?" Su Hang's eyes widened. "I thought you were only in your sixties or seventies. I didn't expect you to be so old. You can't tell from your appearance at all."
The old woman chuckled, "Little friend, you're so funny. Is that how you praise someone?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, Mother-in-law," Su Hang blushed and quickly corrected herself, "I meant you look very young, not at all like your actual age."
"Come and sit down, little one," the old woman said kindly, patting the bench. "You must be tired after standing for so long."
I am indeed a bit tired.
Su Hang didn't refuse and plopped down on the bench. A fragrant scent wafted over him. It wasn't the smell of shampoo or shower gel, but more like the natural fragrance of his body.
For no apparent reason, the image of Huyan Lan appeared in Su Hang's mind.
Su Hang asked curiously, "Grandma, judging from your clothes, are you a doctor?"
The old woman rummaged through the pockets of her white coat and smiled, "It's somewhat related to being a doctor."
Su Hang tentatively asked, "A veterinarian?"
The old woman said softly, "It's a scientist."
"The scientist?"
Su Hang was stunned. This did indeed touch upon a blind spot in his knowledge. After all, the profession of scientist was too profound and unfathomable, and for someone like him who thought that graduate students were just researching things when he was a child, it was basically out of reach.
A crisp "plop" sound rang out.
Su Hang turned his head to look and was instantly stunned.
