The throne was as clear as crystal. Even though it was on the top floor of Tianjing's pagoda, it still emitted a faint purple light. It was like a demon's eye in the darkness, full of temptation and majesty.
"This is the throne of the Tianjing Dynasty?"
Princess Long was dazzled. She had the True Dragon's Blood and could feel the enormous power contained in it. She was afraid but also eager to try.
"That's right."
Shen Zhenyi nodded.
"Back then, the Eldest Princess sat on the throne, assisting her younger brother and commanding everyone. It was not easy to resist the invasion of the beasts and turn the tide … "
During the last years of the dynasty, the world was in turmoil. Trying to maintain the rule was like treading on thin ice.
Furthermore, there was a huge change that had not happened in 100,000 years.
— — The rise of the beasts!
Even though the Eldest Princess was skilled and talented, she could not save Tianjing City.
The beasts rushed in and destroyed everything.
Tianjing City fell, and the pagoda sank.
After a thousand years, it finally saw the light of day again!
After listening to Shen Zhenyi's story, Cynanchum Chinense and the other two were silent.
They had personally experienced the terror of the beasts. The beasts that Tianjing City faced were ten thousand times stronger and more terrifying than what they had faced.
As a woman, the Eldest Princess was able to resist for so long. It was really admirable.
Without needing Shen Zhenyi to say more, the three of them took turns to bow respectfully to the empty throne.
Whoosh —
Suddenly, the sound of wind came from all directions. The guardian vajras suddenly stood up, and their power doubled.
The three of them were shocked and turned to the side to defend themselves. However, they saw Shen Zhenyi smiling calmly and cupping his hands to the void.
"Eldest Princess, long time no see."
What?
Chu Huoluo was startled. When she turned around, she saw a woman with a golden crown sitting on the throne with her head held high. Although the white light around her was fading, her facial features were vivid and lifelike.
"This … is the Eldest Princess?"
Although he had long expected to encounter a remnant soul, seeing the eldest princess appear at such a close distance still gave him a fright.
This was a noble and beautiful woman with a tall golden crown on her head. She had a pair of phoenix-like eyes that were not angry, but at this moment, she was staring at Shen Zhenyi in a daze.
"You … you've come?"
The first thing she said was a trembling cry.
— Here we go again.
Cynanchum Chinense and Princess Long looked at each other. Sure enough, this eldest princess was acquainted with their master, and from the looks of it, their friendship was not shallow.
"I'm late."
Shen Zhenyi sighed.
It was a thousand years late, the country had already perished, the person had already passed away. Even if the sword aura soared to the heavens, it would be difficult to save a thousand years.
Only the people involved could understand the feelings behind these two sentences.
"Not too late!"
The Eldest Princess's eyes were blurred as she stared at Shen Zhenyi, but there was no hesitation in her voice.
"As long as you're here, it's not too late."
Many people and many things would come late.
But as long as you're here, it's an explanation.
The Eldest Princess was dressed in a royal robe. She sat upright and still with a hopeful smile on her face, but it also seemed like a natural reunion. The uncontrollable surprise in that moment had been hidden away, leaving only the calmness of a country's eldest princess.
"Now that the Divine Prefecture is sinking, and the smell of blood is everywhere. As the eldest princess of a country, I'm really not doing a good job."
She spoke to Shen Zhenyi seriously, as if she was still alive, as if she was in the palace of the imperial court, and not in the sunken Tianjing Pagoda.
"Since you're here, you'll definitely be able to sweep away the declining situation and turn the tide. I'm relieved."
The rampage of the ferocious beasts was no longer something that could be stopped by humans. Even if there was a great steel wall, it could only prolong the survival of the human race. The Eldest Princess was intelligent and naturally knew this long ago, but in her heart, there was always a glimmer of hope.
— But whether that person would come back, and when he would come back, she was not sure at all.
After a thousand years, the Third Young Master Shen finally came.
"Okay."
For others, this was a heavy responsibility that was difficult to bear.
However, Shen Zhenyi agreed without hesitation.
"Since I've come to this world, the world has changed. You don't have to worry, Eldest Princess."
He was waiting for the Moon Decapitation to ascend to immortality and give this already decadent world a new path — time waits for no man, so he had to hurry.
"Thank you, Master."
The Eldest Princess was the same. She seemed to be full of confidence in Shen Zhenyi. She stood up from the throne, looking dignified, but bowed to Shen Zhenyi and thanked him.
"Of course, Eldest Princess, you don't have to thank me."
Shen Zhenyi sighed softly.
"She's quite confident in Master."
Cynanchum Chinense whispered to Princess Long.
Princess Long's eyes shone with admiration and pride. She whispered, "As long as one has seen Master's sword, of course, one will have confidence."
The Third Young Master Shen's sword was the path and light of God. It shuttled back and forth between time and space, and could destroy and save everything.
— No matter what others thought, Princess Long thought so.
"But what happened back then …"
The Eldest Princess suddenly muttered to herself. She stared at Shen Zhenyi and bowed deeply. "Someone is stirring up trouble behind my back. It was my father who misunderstood you. Please forgive what happened a thousand years ago."
Her demeanor was extraordinary. Now that she was asking for forgiveness, it made people feel like they were bathing in the spring breeze.
Who wouldn't forgive such an honorable girl?
Shen Zhenyi scratched his head.
He frowned slightly and smiled. "Of course, I don't remember too clearly …"
He had infinite experience. If he had to remember such a small thing when someone offended him, it would be too much of a waste of time — Besides, with his sword, whoever angered him would be dealt with on the spot. There was no need to wait for the future.
This was even less of a need to remember.
The Eldest Princess was slightly stunned. "You are magnanimous, but I can't change the guilt in my heart …"
If she hadn't misunderstood the Third Young Master Shen and trusted him wrongly, how could the ferocious beast's aura rise so quickly and fiercely that no one could resist it?
In other words, if Shen Zhenyi was there, the outcome of the battle at Tianjing might not have been mutual destruction.
For the past thousand years, every time the Eldest Princess recalled the past, she couldn't help but feel pain and regret.
Why didn't she trust the Third Young Master Shen, who was like a celestial being from heaven?
Why did she have to trust that person?
She clenched her fists and suppressed her anger. "Young Master Shen, although a thousand years have passed, the person who framed you is probably still in Xuantian City. I don't know if he's hiding or rising up in the sky. All in all, his words and actions back then definitely had a big plan. The ferocious beasts outside the city are not scary. The scariest thing is the evil hearts hidden in the crowd! "
The Eldest Princess reached out and pushed. The crystal throne under her flew up and landed steadily in front of Shen Zhenyi.
"Young Master, please sit on the throne and kill the traitors, drive away the ferocious beasts, and set things right for the human race!"
The crystal throne shone with a luxurious purple light and hummed. It was as if it was calling for the return of the human race's king like the Eldest Princess!
What?
Cynanchum Chinense widened her eyes. Master was going to become the emperor of the human race just like that?
