Princess Ning Han sat in front of the mirror while Zhu Ning helped her with her makeup.
"Sister Ning Han, I'm a few years younger than you, but now I look as old as my mother," Princess Ning said with a smile. "And you're still as young as you were decades ago. You've even completely changed your appearance. It's really enviable."
Princess Ning Han didn't answer, nor did she comfort her.
Perhaps Zhu Ning used to be fake strong and weak, needing others to comfort her, but now she didn't need it at all.
"Zhu Ning, you should be halfway through your life. Do you have any regrets?" Ning Han asked.
"Regret?" Zhu Ning hesitated for a moment.
On the surface, the stronger one was, the less likely they were to express regret. But how could one live without regrets? Regret and regret were also an important part of life.
"A little regret," Zhu Ning said. "There was once a beautiful marriage in front of me, but I missed it because of my arrogance and prejudice. Now that I think about it, Jin Mucong is probably the best man I've ever met. He's kind enough and interesting. There are too few men in the world who can meet these two conditions."
Princess Ning Han said, "You said he wasn't handsome enough."
"Yes …" Zhu Ning said, "Which young man can really overcome the barrier of appearance? Besides, Jin Mucong will become more handsome in the future. I really had eyes but failed to see. It seems that every fat man has potential."
Then Zhu Ning smiled. "This reminds me of that saying. Yesterday I ignored him, but today I'm not worthy of him."
Zhu Ning could say such self-deprecating words so casually. It could be seen that her heart was really strong.
"Did you like Jin Mucong at the time?" Princess Ning Han asked.
Zhu Ning said, "At that time, I liked his soul, not his body. He's really a very interesting person. He was already interesting, and after being trained by Shen Lang, he became even more interesting. The most important thing is that he likes me enough. This is too important. Of course, it's too late to say anything now. His child has already grown up. "
Princess Ning Han said, "Then do you hate Shen Lang now? “
Zhu Ning said, "Not at all. Actually, when he tried to matchmake me with Jin Mucong, although it had something to do with politics, he still loved his brother-in-law, Jin Mucong, and wanted to find a good wife for him. He thought that I would be interesting enough, but he was wrong about me. I was just pretending to be elegant at that time."
Then Zhu Ning asked, "You used to hate Shen Lang to the core. What about now?"
It was interesting to say that when the two women were in private, they would directly call Shen Lang by his name without adding any honorifics. This wasn't because they weren't loyal to Shen Lang in the depths of their hearts, but because public affairs were public affairs and private affairs were private affairs.
On the public side, Princess Ning Han and Zhu Ning were, of course, completely loyal to Shen Lang, treating him as the supreme ruler of the human world.
But in private, the two of them couldn't get rid of their strong and complicated feelings towards Shen Lang.
Princess Ning Han thought for a while and said, "I should still hate him. He's too much of a bastard, too arrogant, always insisting that he's right, sticking to himself, and never changing his tune."
Princess Ning Han had actually tried to have a heart-to-heart with Shen Lang. At that time, she had asked Shen Lang, "Are you sure that the cause you insist on is just? Was His Majesty Jiang Li really as glorious and righteous as the legends said?
At that time, Princess Ning Han had indeed tried to have a deep conversation with Shen Lang.
In the end, Shen Lang had only said that he didn't care. He only had one goal, and that was revenge. There was no enmity in the world, and he didn't forget his original intention.
Or to put it more bluntly, he didn't care whether it was righteous or not. Let him get his revenge first and clean up his list of enemies first. When he was satisfied, he would talk to me about justice and right.
Zhu Ning said, "But his love for the people of the world is the purest, without any ulterior motives or impurities."
Princess Ning Han said, "So there's a saying that is very true: you can't choose your own king. The one that God has given you may already be the best."
Zhu Ning said, "Then about marrying Shen Lang, are you happy?"
Princess Ning Han said, "Mixed feelings, thousands of complicated feelings."
Zhu Ning said, "Then do you like him? Do you love him? "
Princess Ning Han said, "I used to hate him to the core, and that was enough. Just this point alone made him the only man in my heart. And when he was just born, I was ruined by him. Now that there's a result, I'm still … happy. "
"So I hate him to the core, but there's a fine line between love and hate, so I can't figure it out."
After Princess Ning Han finished dressing up, Zhu Jung's sister, who used to be Ning Yuanxian's queen, came in and led her bride out.
She was also old, with a head full of white hair, but her face could still be considered smooth and graceful. When she married Ning Yuanxian, she was proud and arrogant. She looked down on Ning Yuanxian, who knelt down and surrendered, from the bottom of her heart.
But in the end, Ning Yuanxian stood up. His broken waist straightened again, and he ended the marriage with Queen Zhu.
This Queen Zhu, no, should be called Queen Zhu.
She was unhappy all her life, and after she was sent home, she lost all her spiritual support.
Suddenly, she found that she had nothing when she returned to her family. Her husband, Ning Yuanxian, whose dignity she had trampled on, turned out to be her only one, because she didn't even have half a child.
But after the upheaval in the Arctic, Queen Zhu found a pillar to live on.
That was to live on, to live on. When the world was saved again, she wanted to see her husband, Ning Yuanxian, again.
No apology, no renewal of previous fate, just a meeting.
"Child, you're very lucky." Queen Zhu said, "When you got married, at least you were sensible. And your man became really strong, and you can totally look up to him. "
Then, Queen Zhu took Princess Ning Han's hand and walked towards the front hall.
… …
The wedding ceremony between Shen Lang and Princess Ning Han was very formal. To be precise, it was a concubine ceremony.
Everything was done according to the rules in the book, and it was completely meticulous.
But there were only a few hundred people who attended the ceremony.
For a few hours.
The ceremony of Shen Lang taking Princess Ning Han as his concubine officially ended.
She was sent into the bridal room!
… …
Inside the bridal room.
This place was completely remodeled. It wasn't a ghost city, but it was somewhat similar.
It was a very spiritual space, and in the Ancient Empire, this was the bridal room for newlyweds.
This Ancient Empire was the same as the Lost Empire, and they paid great attention to spiritual integration, which was far more important than physical intimacy.
And this kind of spiritual integration was a huge improvement for both parties.
This made Shen Lang think of something. Was the Lost Empire a survivor of the Ancient Empire after the Great Niemi War? Because they entered the sea to develop their civilization.
Or was the Lost Empire the same civilization as the Ancient Empire in the Great Desert, except that one chose to live on land, and the other chose to live elsewhere?
"Please!"
"Please!"
This bridal room was actually a gigantic coffin? There were all kinds of runes engraved inside, and countless crystals were embedded.
This coffin was actually similar to the ghost coffin that Gang Yi brought to Stupa Mountain, but it was much larger and more mysterious. Gang Yi's ghost coffin might be a knockoff.
Shen Lang and Princess Ning Han walked into this gigantic energy coffin.
This really was like a ghost city. After entering, it was as if they had arrived in a dark void. There was no sense of space, north, south, east, or west. It was as if they couldn't feel their own bodies, only their souls.
But it was different from the ghost city, and it wasn't as gloomy and terrifying. If he wasn't wrong, the so-called ghost city's original form was this gigantic coffin of the Ancient Empire, but it had undergone some changes.
All the spiritual sharing and integration was carried out in the gigantic ghost coffin.
For a husband and wife, perhaps the most eternal and sacred thing was to die together in the same coffin?
Princess Ning Han removed all her spiritual defenses, and opened up all her thoughts, memories, knowledge, will, perception, and so on.
To a certain extent, this was very unfair, because it was a one-sided opening. This meant that she had no secrets from Shen Lang.
She even felt like a tool. Could it be that everything that happened in the Devil's Triangle all those years ago was for this day? Was her, Ning Han, only a tool to convey information to Shen Lang?
"Your Majesty Shen Lang, when we met near Raging Tide City, I asked you a few questions. Can you guarantee that the path you're taking is definitely correct? Is the cause you're undertaking definitely righteous? "Ning Han asked," How did you feel when you heard that? "
Shen Lang thought for a moment and said, "I pondered deeply in my heart, but I acted disdainful on the surface. What's more, you're actually right. "
Princess Ning Han said, "Back then, Great Yan's emperor and a few transcendent factions attacked Jiang Li together. Perhaps they had their own ambitions for power. However, in the end, they still wanted to suppress his path to liberate the ancient civilization. This was because my teacher, Zuo Ci, and Great Yan's emperor could see the great risks involved. However, in terms of verbal reasoning, Jiang Li's words were indeed righteous. Therefore, I must tell you that we worked together to destroy Jiang Li more than thirty years ago. Although we were selfish, we also believed that it was right and righteous. "
Shen Lang asked, "Do you want me to apologize to you now? “
"There's no need." Princess Ning Han said, "Your words have already moved me greatly. Let's begin!"
Then, the consciousness sharing ceremony officially began!
Ning Han released all of her memories to Shen Lang without reservation.
Shen Lang's soul tentacles entered Ning Han's mind without any resistance. Instantly, countless pieces of information swarmed into her mind.
First and foremost was the entrance to Mo Jing. The mental data was enormous.
This was because it was made up of countless spatial tunnels that were constantly changing.
This was actually similar to the method of entering the Devil's Triangle. However, Mo Jing was more mysterious and powerful.
The defense of the Devil's Triangle was not strong enough. There were people who could force their way through the dark fog and evade the whirlpools, tornadoes, and lightning.
And this Mo Jing could only fly in through the mysterious and ever-changing spatial tunnels. Otherwise, even if they flew to the end of the world, they would only be flying in circles above the Great Desert.
Next, the mental memories that Princess Ning Han released were all about human modification, life modification, bloodline modification, and so on. The mental information in this area was also enormous, occupying almost a third of Ning Han's mind.
And the life modification involved thousands of creatures that could be transformed into powerful fighting beasts. Just the aerial army alone had hundreds of them. In this mental information, even the Ultrasonic Flying Beasts and Lightning Flying Snakes were only mid-level fighting beasts.
Not only that, it also mentioned related plans for the breeding of giant dragons.
Of course, in the Enlightenment of Dragons, Shen Lang had already seen the birth and history of giant dragons, but that was the evolution of energy.
And in this mental information, it was flat and straightforward. Standing at the level of the Ancient Empire, it described whether it was possible to create the most powerful war beast in history, giant dragons.
It mentioned the Dragon God, which was also an absolute taboo in the Ancient Empire.
Shen Lang noticed that the text information in Ning Han's mental memories was very complicated. There was the language of the Lost Empire, and also the language of the Ancient Empire. These were not special characters of the Enlightenment of Dragons.
But some of the key information were all special characters of the Enlightenment of Dragons.
And Princess Ning Han did not understand the Enlightenment of Dragons, so this secret information was still like a heavenly book to her.
In other words, she was only a passer of information.
Shen Lang could be considered a very gentleman. He only explored and understood the key information. As for Ning Han's memories, privacy, and so on, he did not touch anything.
Then, he left the room.
"Finally handed it over," Princess Ning Han said. Princess Ning Han said, "This information is very important, but in my mind, it really feels like a fishbone stuck in my throat. Now, it is finally not a burden on me. I can be myself with peace of mind and fight. These responsibilities are all handed over to you."
Shen Lang said, "Thank you."
Princess Ning Han said, "Is it useful?"
Shen Lang said, "Some of the information is very important. Especially in this memory, there is a complete set of the language of the Ancient Empire. This is very useful. The Enlightenment of Dragons is a very advanced way of energy exchange, and daily communication still needs to use the language of the Ancient Empire. You may be the only backup. "
From this information, Shen Lang seemed to come to a conclusion: in the Ancient Empire, there was a plan to steal the Dragon God's fragment and create the Dragon God of War.
But in these records, there was no mention of success.
But in the Ancient Empire, Jiang Xie actually succeeded? Speaking of which, he was really amazing. He gathered almost all the best people in the world to work for him.
So, whether in the Ancient Empire or now, the Dragon God was still the highest strategic force.
"Your Majesty, should I go out or stay?" Princess Ning Han asked.
Shen Lang said, "Are you ready?"
Princess Ning Han said, "What's there to prepare for? Just close your eyes, clench your fist, and it will pass quickly."
… …
Night fell.
"Your Majesty, another day has passed," Ning Han said.
He was reminding Shen Lang that two of the three days had passed. According to what Shen Lang said, the game between him and Jiang Li was not over yet, so he had to hurry.
"Your Majesty, can you tell me the specifics?" Ning Han asked.
Shen Lang said, "Great Emperor Jiang of Darkness has an imposter hiding in Mojing. Give me a total of three days to ferret him out. Otherwise, Mojing will be doomed. This is the first game between him and me, and the price is the entire Mojing, the last city of hope for humanity. The last territory of the Da Qian Empire. "
"Can it be the city of hope for humanity?" Princess Ning Han asked.
Shen Lang said, "Although it is not as strong as the Jiang Li Empire, it is the only one that can rival the mysterious base. As long as it has enough energy, and I have enough authority, the power of this Sky Gazing Totem is endless, and it can even fight against Jiang Li. At least it can completely stop Jiang Li's army from invading, because Jiang Li himself cannot leave the North Pole. "
"Imposter?" Princess Ning Han said, "This person in disguise is a spy sent by Jiang Li. If I'm not wrong, this person might be an ancient human, because they can change into anyone. Also, there is the person whose soul has been taken. This person has a body of flesh and blood, and is even more flawless. "
"Yes."
Ning Han said, "According to normal thinking, the fake Shen Lang is the imposter, because he really has no flaws. At that time, 99% of my rationality told me that he is real, and you are fake. Only that 1% of my emotions told me that you are real, and he is fake. "
Shen Lang said, "It's not that simple, or it wouldn't be Jiang Li."
Princess Ning Han said, "The person whose soul has been taken can't detect it at all?"
Shen Lang said, "It depends on the soul. If the person's soul is wrapped in a hell crystal, then I might be able to detect it after I enter the realm of dragon perception. Once it enters the ghost city, I will definitely be able to detect it. "
Princess Ning Han was silent for a moment, then said, "Then is there anyone among us who has the energy of hell crystal?"
Shen Lang shook his head, "It's just a coincidence, not a single one."
Princess Ning Han said, "So, this imposter is almost impossible to detect? If he isn't the fake Shen Lang. "
Shen Lang said, "Yes, if things develop normally, he won't be detected at all."
Ning Han said, "At least I, this hateful woman, is still trustworthy, not the imposter, right?"
Shen Lang said, "Yes, you are not!"
"If you have any orders, please let me know. But I won't ask about what happens next." Princess Ning Han said, "Everything will be carried out in secret according to your will, but the imposter must be detected, or the consequences will be unthinkable."
Shen Lang nodded.
That was indeed the case. They had to uncover the imposter.
Otherwise, he would lose the first game with Jiang Li. Moreover, Jiang Li's undercover agent had been staying in the Desert Capital City all this while. He was even by Shen Lang's side. This was too much to bear.
"Has the fake Shen Lang woken up?"
"No," Princess Ning Han said, "but I believe you have a way to wake him up and interrogate him. He is imprisoned in the deepest underground dungeon of the palace. "
Shen Lang thought for a moment, then said, "No need."
Next, Ning Han helped Shen Lang bathe and change his clothes.
Throughout the entire process, Shen Lang had been wearing a bracelet on his wrist, and there was a pearl on it.
This was the Hell Soul Bead, containing the souls of more than a dozen ancient humans, including Jiang Qin, who were wrapped in hell crystals.
The hell crystals were too terrifying, too fatal. They were the energy source of the Jiang Li Empire, and they were almost invincible. Only Shen Lang could suppress them with his dragon's enlightenment. Otherwise, once they spread, the consequences would be unthinkable. It could continuously devour and grow stronger. Even a tiny bit of hell crystal could eventually devour the entire sea of lava.
Therefore, Shen Lang always carried the Hell Soul Bead with him.
… …
"Baby, daddy has a concubine. Is that considered a scumbag?" Shen Lang asked.
Shen Mi thought for a moment, then said, "Compared to normal men, of course. But for an emperor, you are already very restrained. "
Shen Lang couldn't help but pat her little head, saying, "Daddy's princess, even your logic is so accurate."
Speaking of which, whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, after the North Pole changed, Shen Lang's family was imprisoned separately, and most of the time, they were sealed in ice.
Therefore, time did not seem to have left much of a mark on Shen Mi's face. She looked like she was not even 20 years old.
"I was imprisoned with my mother. Do you know what she said before she was sealed in ice?" Shen Mi said.
Shen Lang, "What did she say?"
Actually, he could guess what Bing'er said.
Shen Mi said, "Mother said to quickly freeze, so that after a few decades, when I wake up, I will still be young and beautiful, and won't be despised by the young master."
Uh! This sounded like something Bing'er would say.
Shen Lang looked at his daughter, thinking of his other family members.
Especially Ning Yuanxian. He was so old, was he still alive?
He had to find this imposter.
He had to win this first game against Jiang Li.
He had to win!
Shen Lang's brain worked quickly, thinking.
He weighed the risks, the probability of success, and so on.
… …
Shen Lang came in front of a few important officials, especially Princess Ning Han, and said, "Next, I want to look at this Skygazer Totem."
In the control core of the screen wall, Shen Lang had asked if he could look at the Skygazer Totem's eyes, and if he could reach a higher level of dragon enlightenment.
That energy lifeform said that Shen Lang didn't have the authority to know, and she didn't have the authority to answer.
However, this Skygazer Totem's Gaze of God could instantly turn countless enemies into stone. This was a high-level attack that could only be unlocked with a higher level of dragon enlightenment.
Moreover, Shen Lang believed that by looking at this Skygazer Totem, he would definitely be able to obtain important secrets and information.
At that time, Princess Ning Han had looked at the Medusa statue's eyes, and that was how she discovered this Mo Jing, and obtained so many ancient secrets.
And what Shen Lang wanted the most was a higher level of dragon enlightenment.
Another urgent matter was to find the imposter.
If he didn't find him, Mo Jing would really be in danger. The game between him and Jiang Li would be decided tonight.
After hearing Shen Lang's words, a few important officials bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Shen Lang said, "Therefore, from now on, everyone in Mo Jing is to return to their rooms to sleep. No one is allowed to take even half a step outside. Anyone who disobeys will be killed on the spot. "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Following Shen Lang's order, the entire Mo Jing was under curfew.
At nine o 'clock at night, not a single person could be seen on the streets or in the plaza.
Everyone, including the entire army, entered their rooms to sleep. No one was an exception, including Zuo Ci, Ning Han, and Zhu Hongxue.
In the huge Mo Jing, only Shen Lang was left outside.
He stood under the giant pyramid and was silent for a moment. He looked up at the Skygazer Totem at the top of the pyramid.
Were you once alive? Did you just turn into a fossil?
In the Ancient Empire, this was the totem of the entire human empire. The ancient ruins of Mt. Vajra were built to worship this human-faced snake totem, which was close to a demigod.
The highest secret of the Ancient Empire should be in his mind, in his eyes.
If I look you in the eyes, what key information can I get?
Empress Medusa relied on her eyes to pass on the legacy of the entire Lost Empire. She even made a sea monster gain intelligence and built the second Lost Empire.
With the help of an ancient armor, Shen Lang slowly floated into the air and flew into the sky.
This pyramid was too tall, like a mountain.
The Skygazer Totem stood at the top of the pyramid, looking up at the sky. No one had ever dared to look him in the eyes.
Its size was almost comparable to a giant dragon.
The closer he flew, the smaller he felt. He felt an unprecedented pressure.
After a few minutes.
Shen Lang finally flew to the top of the Skygazer Totem's head. His eyes were so huge that Shen Lang needed to be far away to look him in the eye.
He had found the right location.
Shen Lang took a deep breath.
Are you ready? Skygazer Totem, what can you give me?
Can you give me high-level dragon enlightenment?
I don't dare to do anything, but at least you can help me find that impersonator, right?
After taking three breaths, Shen Lang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the Skygazer Totem's eyes.
In an instant …
The Skygazer Totem, which had been releasing a bright light that illuminated the entire Mo Capital, dimmed.
His eyes instantly shot out an incomparably bright light.
Endless information surged out like a dazzling river of stars in the sky.
It fiercely poured into Shen Lang's eyes.
In an instant!
Shen Lang's mind was blank.
It was too terrifying.
At this moment, Shen Lang's brain had been modified and was many times stronger than before. But he still could not withstand such a huge amount of information.
After the astronomical amount of information surged into his brain, it was like countless mental nuclear bombs had exploded.
At that moment, Shen Lang did not know anything.
He had completely lost control of his entire body.
And at this moment!
A black shadow flashed.
Shen Lang decreed that there would be a curfew tonight. No one was allowed out. Anyone who disobeyed would be killed.
There was only one person who would disobey Shen Lang's order. That was Jiang Li's impersonator.
That person had finally appeared.
At the same time, an even more horrifying scene appeared.
Inch by inch, Shen Lang's body turned into a fossil.
Wasn't he going to accept the Skygazer Totem's spiritual inheritance?
Why was he attacked by God's Gaze and turned into a fossil?
Once he turned into a fossil, it was irreversible. It was almost like he was dead.
Even if Queen Medusa was so powerful, once she was attacked by God's Gaze and turned into a fossil, she would not be able to recover.
Shen Lang had … solidified into a stone just like that?
Facing this scene, the impersonator was slightly taken aback.
