Where are they taking my brother?
In the dilapidated little village, the girl huddled in her mother's arms, her face filled with fear.
Corvée labor and taxes caused immense suffering to the people.
The reigning emperor not only showed no compassion for the people, but instead intensified the punishments by enacting even harsher ones.
"My brother went to join the army; he'll be back next year."
The mother, suppressing her grief, offered words of comfort.
She knew that this departure would mean never seeing her son again, but she couldn't say it, because she couldn't resist and could only live like a pig or a dog.
"Oh, will Daddy come back too?"
The little girl asked, her face full of innocent hope, but her heart was already filled with anger.
She knew her brother wouldn't come back, just like her uncles, aunts, and father.
Those soldiers are man-eating demons; once captured by them, you'll be eaten alive, leaving not a single bone behind.
"They'll come back, they'll all come back..."
Time is like a surging river, washing away the soil and scattering the fish.
But there will always be a strong sapling that takes root in the ground and will not die no matter how the wind and rain blow. There will always be a small fish that would rather be shattered to pieces than not swim upstream.
The little girl grew up and mastered martial arts, then began to devise ways to kill that tyrannical and incompetent monarch.
But even a starved camel is bigger than a horse, and the folly of the world is beyond imagination.
Countless people risked their lives for that scum who parasitized and sucked the blood of millions of ordinary people, which caused her assassinations to fail time and time again.
The little girl was eventually caught, paraded through the streets as a warning, and then executed by slow slicing.
She hated, she resented, she was defiant!
Why are emperors so cruel? Why are the people so ignorant? Why is heaven and earth so unjust?
She endured the insults of the ignorant masses without flinching.
She endured the excruciating pain of being sliced to pieces, yet she did not shed a tear.
But when her elderly mother also criticized her, she finally broke down.
She knew that servility had taken deep root in their souls, she knew that this country was rotten to the core, and she knew that this world was utterly beyond saving.
Just as she was heartbroken and weeping bitterly under her mother's accusations, a voice suddenly appeared in her mind...
Do you want power?
"I killed all the royal family and slaughtered over two million people across the country. I became the most favored Reincarnation Temple by the Main God, and he has guided me step by step to where I am today!"
Lin let out a roar, and her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot.
After struggling for so many years and escaping death countless times, she finally gained freedom and strength.
"If I kill you... I can gain power surpassing that of the gods... I can..."
boom!
The Power of Extreme Yin, Absolute Yang spread outwards, enveloping the surroundings like the darkness of night.
The boundless Yin energy within Fengdu City seemed to be summoned, and immediately began to churn violently.
This is a world of death, Heaven for evil and ghostly beings, and also the domain of those who cultivate the Yin attribute.
Lin has a natural advantage in this place.
Xu Long is very strong, with almost no rivals at the same level, not even Lin, who has obtained the Power of Extreme Yin, Absolute Yang.
The Fengdu City is filled with endless Yin energy, which is extremely beneficial to Lin.
However, Xu Long not only had no intention of a quick victory, but also deliberately prolonged the battle.
Lin is very strong, strong enough to easily crush those alien races of the same level.
But Xu Long is stronger; not only is his combat strength superior to hers, but his strategy is also better.
Through Martial Cultivation inheritance and three soul transformations, Xu Long's realm reached a level that Lin could hardly imagine.
From beginning to end, Lin was part of Xu Long's scheme.
The outcome was already decided when she entered Fengdu City.
" The Main God gave me a second life, and I revere Him as a deity! You have shown me the joy of being a woman, and I treat you as my husband! Neither God nor husband can stop me from pursuing power!"
The bloodshot in Lin's eyes intensified, and her original rationality began to slowly disappear.
Xu Long's face was ashen as he looked at the woman who seemed to have gone mad, and his heart skipped a beat.
A devoted traveler in the underworld
The soul also returns to its true form.
The vast and Netherworld road,
They are all people with tragic fates.
The tragic deaths of her father and elder brother, the coercion of her mother, and the ostracism from her hometown elders all broke this poor woman.
When she was heartbroken, Main God gave her hope to live.
Intrigue and backstabbing, a struggle for survival.
Through countless crises and near-death experiences, it was her pursuit of power that kept her alive.
But who could have imagined that so-called power and so-called pursuits were all preordained by fate?
My humble abode has never known the fragrance of fine silks; my attempt to entrust a matchmaker only brings me more sorrow.
Who loves elegance and high style? Yet all pity the frugal attire of this era.
I dare to boast of my skillful needlework with my ten fingers, but I won't compete with my long eyebrows in drawing.
I bitterly resent spending year after year embroidering gold thread, only to have it all become a wedding gown for someone else.
boom!
A terrifying power erupted continuously, enveloping the entire area within a radius of a thousand miles.
A group of alien races sensed the energy fluctuations and immediately moved closer. However, as they entered the area enveloped by Lin's power, their internal energy began to rapidly dissipate.
"How could this be...? What happened...?"
A six-winged Fallen Angels, his face filled with terror, had reached the Nascent Soul Stage, yet he was utterly powerless against this force.
boom!
After the terrifying yin energy comes the even more terrifying yang energy.
A massive array appeared out of thin air, instantly replacing the area previously shrouded in yin energy.
"I need power... I need..."
Lin's eyes were bloodshot; she had completely gone mad.
The Power of Extreme Yin, Absolute Yang within her body surged like a mighty river, yet it was no longer under her control.
Xu Long did not continue to resist, but let all the attacks fall on him.
Everything is predestined; nothing is up to us.
This unfortunate woman never experienced happiness and spent her entire life in pain.
What she pursued had long since become a burden to her.
The ever-growing power also turned her into a puppet.
"With me here, no one will dare to bully you anymore..."
Xu Long rested Lin's head against his chest, his gentle breath enveloping her.
Will you protect... me...?
A murmur escaped Lin's lips, carrying a hint of hope and a hint of doubt.
"As long as I live, no one will dare to hurt you!"
Xu Long spoke each word with resounding force.
You will... protect me...
It seemed like she was comforting herself, or perhaps she subconsciously chose to escape.
The violent aura emanating from Lin began to subside, and she slowly began to come into contact with the Power of Extreme Yang, Absolute Yin within Xu Long's body.
Two completely opposite forces should have triggered a terrible conflict, or canceled each other out.
But at this moment, without Lin's guidance, the Power of Extreme Yin, Absolute Yang slowly Fusion with Xu Long's power.
There was no conflict, no disappearance, as if fate had already decreed that everything would end here, and begin here as well.
