As he watched Shen Lang's body turn into a fossil inch by inch, he felt as though the world was collapsing.
Shen Lang, the man who had always created miracles, who was not completely destroyed even during the upheaval at the north pole, who had defeated Great Yan's emperor, had turned into a fossil, a statue of the same kind.
How could he not feel despair? The impersonator stared at Shen Lang's fossilized body for a long time.
Of course, it only lasted for less than a minute.
Shen Lang's entire body had turned into a fossil. Not a single inch remained.
At the same time, the Hell's Soul Orb on his bracelet lost its suppression and released a peculiar light. The Hell's Crystal and the powerful ancient human's soul that were suppressed inside the orb howled like ghosts and howled like wolves.
The black figure sighed softly. His eyes shone with despair. Sure enough, this was the result. There was no hope for Shen Lang.
Then, he slowly floated up. His eyes were still closed as he flew to Shen Lang's side.
Shen Lang had decreed that there would be a curfew tonight. No one was allowed to step out of the house.
Therefore, no one had to witness the scene of Shen Lang turning into a fossil. There was no need for them to experience such despair.
The black figure flew to Shen Lang's side. He looked at every inch of Shen Lang's fossilized body and sighed again. Then, he removed the Hell's Soul Orb from Shen Lang's bracelet. When he reached out, his arm trembled. However, he quickly steadied himself and grabbed the powerful Hell's Soul Orb in his palm.
Then, he slowly descended and arrived outside the Great Pyramid's door.
The turntable password and fingerprint had been changed by Shen Lang. Logically speaking, only Shen Lang should be able to remove it.
However, this door was not a part of the Great Pyramid. It was added later.
The black figure easily opened the door and walked into the great hall of the pyramid. He arrived before the screen wall's control center. This was the control center of Mo Capital.
In truth, the screen wall's control center was different from before. The previous screen wall was really like a crystal, completely frozen and unmoving.
And now, it had already been activated, turning into a ball of light, as if it was alive.
Previously, the pyramid and the Sky Gazing Totem had been in a standby state. They had only started operating after Shen Lang had activated them.
The black figure looked at the Hell's Soul Pearl in his hand, then looked at the screen wall's control center.
Even though she couldn't see his face clearly and couldn't see his eyes, she could still feel his pain.
After struggling for a while, he knelt on the ground and growled like a beast.
No words could describe the complexity of his roar. That pain, that despair, and that longing for relief.
It was as if he was making the final painful choice, a choice that was more difficult than life and death.
Ten seconds later, he made his decision.
I'm sorry. I had no choice.
I really have no choice.
There was no more hope. Perhaps Jiang Li was their only hope. Shen Lang could not do it. He had never been able to do it.
Then, the black figure threw the Hell's Soul Pearl into the screen wall. It was thrown into the screen wall's control center.
First, there was silence!
Then …
"Boom …" The Hell's Soul Pearl suddenly exploded.
The Hell Crystal and the terrifying soul energy inside invaded and polluted the entire screen wall's control center.
In an instant, the entire screen wall's control center began to distort and change. There seemed to be countless ghostly wails and wolf howls inside. The Hell Crystal devoured, controlled, and spread!
In a short period of time, it occupied the entire screen wall's control center.
Was this how to describe this feeling? It was like inserting a USB drive into the enemy's computer control center. It was filled with viruses and Trojan horses.
Previously, the enemy's computer hadn't been turned on, so the virus couldn't be planted. Now that it was turned on, the planted virus could officially take effect.
The Hell Crystal was probably the most terrifying and terrifying virus. Once, a small amount of Hell Crystal devoured the entire sea of lava.
More Hell Crystals devoured the energy of the entire North Pole. Then, they started to devour the entire planet. There was no virus more terrifying than this in the world. It could devour all energy and was almost invulnerable. Once it started to spread, it would be completely uncontrollable.
Jiang Li had relied on it to rule the entire world and complete what the ancient humans had failed to do. The Hell Crystal was the result of Jiang Li and his teachers' efforts.
Once it started to spread in the pyramid's control center, what would happen?
In an instant, it would devour everything around it and expand crazily until it turned everything into its own energy.
Then … the entire control center was paralyzed. The entire pyramid was paralyzed. The entire ancient totem was paralyzed.
This process was very fast, but it also seemed very slow.
First, the entire screen wall's control center seemed to be completely distorted. It turned into the color of the Hell Crystal.
Then, the entire giant pyramid shook violently.
Finally, the human-faced snake totem at the top of the pyramid instantly lost all its light. Even the light in its eyes disappeared. All its functions were paralyzed. It became the most ordinary statue.
Just like the most advanced and powerful computer system, it was shut down.
First, all the activated weapon systems in Mojing City were all paralyzed.
Then, Mojing's ecological energy shield completely lost its effect. The terrible cold invaded, and the wind of the desert swept over.
Finally … the entire defense system of Mojing was paralyzed.
There was no Space Folding, no Space Concealment, no Space Tunnel.
This Mojing that had been hidden for countless years, the Mojing that only Princess Ning Han could enter, was completely exposed in the Great Desert. It was exposed to all the prying eyes.
This and the impersonator could see clearly. A few black figures flew in from the sky and directly entered the sky above Mojing. They didn't need to lead the way, they just flew straight in.
Obviously, Mojing was finished! The Ninth City of the Ancient Empire was finished.
It had successfully survived the first Great Nirvana Annihilation and the second Great Nirvana Annihilation.
But now, before the third Great Nirvana Annihilation arrived, it was already finished.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Countless gusts of cold air poured in, countless storms, and countless gusts of sand poured in.
It was as Jiang Li said, Mojing was about to be destroyed.
And at this moment, a strange roar came from the Great Pyramid. It was as if two forces were in a life and death struggle. It was as if the energy of the screen wall was making its final struggle.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh …"
Finally, the first figure appeared. It was Zhu Hongxue.
He flew to the sky above the Sky Gazing Totem statue and caught Shen Lang, who had turned into a fossil. At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a fossil. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief. His entire body and soul were completely numb.
His Majesty Shen Lang had turned into a fossil? He was so omnipotent, so powerful, how could he have turned into a fossil?
Then, Ning Han, Zhu Jung, Zhu Ning, Zhang Zhao, and a dozen others, the Imperial Minister of the Great Qian Empire, and all the higher-ups of the Privy Council all rushed into the Great Pyramid.
The impersonator said hoarsely, "There's no need to resist. Everything is over. Mojing is finished."
Everyone looked at him quietly, not saying a word. Very quickly, they recognized his figure.
Then, everyone began to tremble, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Especially Zhu Hongxue, he couldn't even stand straight. He almost squatted down. As for Princess Ning Han, she closed her eyes in pain.
"Why is it you? Why is the impersonator of Dark Emperor Jiang you? " Zhu Hongxue said in a trembling voice, "When my identity was exposed and my life was at its darkest, you were the one who helped me walk out of it. When my soul had no support, you were the one who helped me find a great goal in life. Without you, I wouldn't have the courage to live to this day. " “
The impersonator sighed, "Maybe you'll live a better life if you forget all this. People always face all kinds of collapses in their lives. The collapse of their worldview, their outlook on life, and their spiritual support. Do you know the King of the State of Yue, Ning Yuanxian? He worshipped His Majesty Jiang Li and treated him as the sun of the world. He even lost his life and the whole kingdom for him. But what happened in the end? Jiang Li was the destroyer of the world. It wasn't easy for him to stand up and regain his dignity, but his idol collapsed. "
Princess Ning Han said in a trembling voice, "But even in the most desperate and darkest moment, we survived. You were the one who saved the Sky-sea Pavilion, the entire Mo Capital, the new Great Qian Empire, the land of light, and the land of hope. Without the order you set, the hundreds of thousands of people in Mo Capital would have been wiped out and destroyed. Every rule here was set by you. What time to sleep, what time to wake up, what time to work, what everyone should do, every ceremony of the Great Qian Empire is according to the history books. You built an empire that is more orthodox than the Raging Tide City. Now that His Majesty Shen Lang has returned, the most difficult time has passed. Why can't you hold on? "
Everyone looked at the impersonator in disbelief.
Zhu Jung said in a trembling voice, "When the Great Yan Emperor died and we were released from prison, we became the laughingstock of the world. I was so disheartened that I even thought of committing suicide. You were the one who brought us away from Tianyue City and brought us to Mo Capital. Not only did you give us a new life, you also gave us a goal in life and motivation to live. Why can we hold on in the darkness, but you can't? "
The black shadow impersonator said painfully, "Ignorance is a blessing. Because we know little, we can live as long as we have a goal. Because we are ignorant, we are filled with hope. Once you know too much, you will fall into complete despair, and you will fall into eternal darkness, unable to extricate yourself. "
When he said these words, everyone present was silent.
That was right. To a certain extent, ignorance was indeed a blessing. One could live with relative optimism. The more one knew and understood, the darker and more hopeless their lives would be.
Zhu Hongxue could barely speak. He even squatted on the ground.
"Why? Why are you doing this? You must have been possessed. You must have been possessed by a higher ranked ancient human than Jiang Li. Otherwise, you wouldn't have betrayed us. Even if all of us collapsed, you wouldn't. Even if all of us betrayed you, you wouldn't betray us, "Zhu Hongxue shouted with all his might.
"No, Hongxue, I'm far from that powerful." The impersonator said, "I really can't bear this responsibility. However, all of you are looking at me and entrusting your lives and deaths to me. I had no choice but to bear this responsibility. This kind of trust, this kind of pressure increased day by day. Finally, one day, it completely crushed my will. I haven't been possessed. I haven't been replaced. I am 100% … Zuo Ci! "
"That's right. I am Jiang Li's impersonator who snuck into Mojing!"
Next, the impersonator took off his mask and revealed his real face.
He was Zuo Ci, the Master of Sky-sea Pavilion, the Prime Minister of the Great Qian Empire, the greatest hero of this pure land, and the greatest hero of hundreds of thousands of survivors.
He was also the only impersonator who snuck into Mojing by Jiang Li.
At this moment, Zhu Hongxue was completely hopeless. There was no room for imagination. The truth was cruelly revealed in front of him.
"Zhu Hongxue, you ask me why I did this?" Pavilion Master Zuo Ci exhaled and said, "I haven't been possessed. I haven't been replaced by an ancient human. I am 100% self-determined. Why did I betray the Great Qian Empire? Why did I betray His Majesty Shen Lang? Why did I betray you? "
Everyone was silent, waiting for Zuo Ci to analyze himself.
"Is it because of glory and wealth? No, Jiang Li didn't agree to give me any official position. "
"Is it because of powerful energy? No, Jiang Li didn't even give me the Hell Crystal. "
"Is it because I want to live? No, I don't even want to live anymore. "
"Why did I betray the Great Qian Empire? Why did I become Jiang Li's impersonator? It's only because of one reason. When Jiang Li saves the world, there will be a place for all of you in his spaceship. There will be a thousand places for Sky-sea Pavilion. "
As soon as he said this, everyone couldn't hold back their tears anymore. Even with Ning Han's willpower, she couldn't hold back her tears.
"I don't need it, I don't need it …" Zhu Hongxue yelled, "Even if I die, I will fight to the end."
Zuo Ci looked at Zhu Hongxue and said, "I have no children. You and Ning Han are my children. You can give up the hope of survival, but I have to give it to you. I don't have the face to live in this world, but I hope that you can live bravely, even if it's humiliating. "
Zhu Hongxue gritted his teeth and said, "His Majesty Shen Lang has returned. We are not without hope. Why did you break down now? What if you surrender? What if you admit defeat? "
Zuo Ci smiled sadly and said, "Hongxue, I was once like you. My heart was filled with hope. I traveled to the ends of the earth to find the hope to save the world, the hope to defeat Jiang Li. I traveled to the ends of the earth to find His Majesty Shen Lang. One year, three years, ten years, twenty years … I even ventured into Jiang Li's empire again and again. Do you know what Jiang Li did to me? "
Everyone shook their heads.
Jiang Li tortured Zuo Ci? Captured him, suppressed his soul, and tortured him mentally?
"No, he didn't torture me at all. I provoked him again and again. I even went to the North Pole and observed his palace from a very close distance. But he didn't care about me. He just quietly let me adventure everywhere and observe the world. He let me thoroughly understand the truth of the world, the cruelest truth. He let me experience this kind of despair myself. "
"This world is finished. In ninety years, the Great Ancient Nirvana will happen again. You can't save the world by relying on romantic feelings and beautiful emotions. "
"His Majesty Shen Lang is very good. He is respectful and always maintains his own personality. He has the purest feelings for the people of the world. His words moved countless people. There is no enmity in the world, but he does not forget his original intentions. In order to achieve this goal, he could give up anything, even the throne. I really admire him. I worship him. "
"But Jiang Li is right. His Majesty Shen Lang is too naive. Saving the world is not a treat. There must be sacrifices, and the most terrifying and cruel sacrifices. There are no praises or songs. There is only endless despair and coldness. "
"If the heavens have feelings, the heavens will also grow old! When a person is tied down by emotions, he can't be extremely powerful. Like me. Today, I am so ugly. "
"This world can no longer be saved by humans. It can only be saved by God. However, God is completely emotionless. He can coldly face anyone's death, even himself. His Majesty Shen Lang is too emotional. He is too human. He cannot save this world. Only Jiang Li has a glimmer of hope. "
"In terms of emotions, I am completely on His Majesty Shen Lang's side. But … in the end, I choose Jiang Li. I feel that he is the only hope to save this world. "
"I have finished speaking. I am a sinner. I have become Jiang Li's lackey. You can take my life now. Of course, if you don't come and take it, I will take my own life. "
After saying that, Zuo Ci knelt down and lowered his head, waiting for someone to chop off his neck.
No one moved forward.
Zuo Ci said hoarsely, "Why not? Do you want me to kill myself? "
Still, no one moved.
Zuo Ci said, "Don't learn from His Majesty Shen Lang. Don't be so hot-blooded and romantic. Mojing is finished. Its control center has been completely contaminated by the Hell Crystal. It has lost all its defenses and can no longer hide. Jiang Li's dark army will come like the tide. The terrifying cold and endless yellow sand will drown Mojing in the shortest time possible and destroy all life in this city. Go to the Jiang Empire. When the Great Nirvana Apocalypse comes, there will be a place for you on Jiang Li's spaceship. "
Throughout the process, Zuo Ci kept referring to His Majesty Shen Lang as His Majesty, but called Jiang Li by his name.
Princess Ning Han said in a trembling voice, "Teacher, you brought that fake Shen Lang so that His Majesty Shen Lang can prove himself, release the Enlightenment of the Dragon, and activate Mojing's control center, right?"
Zuo Ci said, "Yes."
Princess Ning Han said, "You tried so hard to get me to marry him so that he could look into the eyes of the Heavenly Totem. His mind would go blank and he would turn into a fossil. Only then could you steal the Hell Soul Orb from his wrist and contaminate Mojing's control center, and completely paralyze the energy core of Mojing, right?"
"Yes." Zuo Ci smiled bitterly. "In fact, even if I didn't do that, Mojing wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer. The energy of the entire Great Desert is about to dry up. Soon, Mojing will be like the other places, reduced to yellow sand, and lose all life. "
"Also … in my original plan, His Majesty Shen Lang's mind would go blank when he looked into the Heavenly Totem's eyes, and he would exhaust all the energy in Mojing. But he turned into a fossil. This … I didn't expect at all. "
"One more thing. Even without His Majesty Shen Lang's Hell Soul Orb, I could still paralyze Mojing's control center. Once it's activated, just a little bit of Hell Crystal will be enough to contaminate the entire control center. "
Everyone remembered that His Majesty Shen Lang's Dragon Sword had a Hell Soul Orb embedded in it. It had Hell Crystal energy, even if it was minuscule.
And the Dragon Sword that they saw the fake Shen Lang no longer had a Hell Soul Orb embedded in it.
"I think the Hell Soul Orb on His Majesty Shen Lang's wrist should be much stronger and more effective." Zuo Ci said, "It should be able to paralyze Mojing's control center in the shortest time possible. This way, I will be able to contribute more to Jiang Li. In the future, Sky-sea Pavilion will have a higher chance of surviving the Great Nirvana Annihilation, and more people will be able to board the spaceship. Maybe … "
Princess Ning Han said, "I noticed that when His Majesty Shen Lang went to look into the Heavenly Totem's eyes, you paused for a whole minute before flying up to take away His Majesty Shen Lang's Hell Soul Orb. Why?"
Zuo Ci said, "Because … I was also struggling with life and death. I told myself countless times that perhaps His Majesty Shen Lang had a chance to save the world. But in the end, I gave up. He turned into a fossil. Of course, even if he didn't, I would have made the same choice. Because … I really couldn't see any hope. "
Princess Ning Han said, "Did you and Jiang Li have a spiritual contract or a paper contract?"
"Not at all," Zuo Ci said. "It was just a verbal contract. If I agreed to be his spy, he would give Sky-sea Pavilion a thousand survival spots."
Princess Ning Han said, "His Majesty Shen Lang always said that Jiang Li was the God of Cunning. Now I really understand it. Taking over someone's body, changing the appearance of an ancient human to replace you, those are all the lowest level methods. The highest level is to conquer your heart, soul, and mind. Even the person I respect the most, the person I see as my father, was completely conquered. "
Zhu Ning said, "Everyone has a weakness. Grasp the enemy's weakness and use it to the extreme. Then you can do whatever you want and control him completely."
Ning Han said, "The reason why Jiang Li is so powerful is because he has no weaknesses. Because he has no emotions, he has no weaknesses. And His Majesty Shen Lang is full of weaknesses. "
Zuo Ci said, "So, His Majesty Shen Lang will definitely lose. He has no hope at all. Jiang Li didn't even have to fight personally. In the first game between them, His Majesty Shen Lang lost. He lost without being able to fight back. "
"It's good that he lost …" Zuo Ci smiled bitterly. "This way, I can stop my losses and despair in advance. I can recognize the truth of this world in advance and then do what I have to do. Live, work hard to live. Even if it's humiliating, I have to live. "
Then, Pavilion Master Zuo Ci looked at Princess Ning Han and said, "My child, in the end, you still married His Majesty Shen Lang. This can be considered as putting an end to that ill-fated relationship in your heart. If you had His Majesty Shen Lang's child in your womb, then you should live even more. Perhaps you will be more important to Jiang Li. In the future, there will be a place for you on Jiang Li's spaceship. "
Outside, the cold wind was still blowing fiercely and sand was flying everywhere. One could almost hear the roars of the Jiang Li Empire's war beasts.
Mo Jing seemed to be really finished. After the entire defense system collapsed, Jiang Li's army didn't even need to attack. In less than a month, the entire Mo Jing would be completely wiped out.
The last hope of the Da Qian Empire, the last land of light for mankind, was completely finished.
The first game between Shen Lang and Jiang Li seemed to be completely lost. Even if Jiang Li didn't even appear, even if this was completely Shen Lang's home ground.
The entire place fell into complete silence.
After a long while, Zuo Ci said, "Is no one going to kill me? Is no one going to kill me? "
Still, no one made a move.
Zuo Ci said, "Brother Zhu Jung, you do it."
Zhu Jung didn't move. He didn't have the courage to do it. In fact, he felt that he didn't have the right to do it.
Zuo Ci said, "General Zhang Zhao, you've killed countless people. You do it."
Zhang Zhao didn't move. He slammed his fist on the ground. Blood gushed out. All these years, he had been a man of few words. This world had always brightened his spirit, even if he had exhausted all of his willpower to survive.
Pavilion Master Zuo Ci said, "Since none of you are willing to do it, I'll do it myself? Sure, sure … "
He slowly pulled out his sword.
"This bastard world, this damned world, goodbye, this world."
Zuo Ci cried out sorrowfully. Then, he suddenly wanted to cut off his own head.
His action was extremely violent. It was as if he not only wanted to cut off his own head, but also wanted to turn his body over and crush his bones. He wanted to turn his body into ashes because he felt that he was ugly and despicable.
However, in the next moment.
Zuo Ci's entire body was frozen. He didn't move at all.
Then, a figure slowly walked in.
No, it was two figures!
One was a real body that walked in from the outside. The other was a soul light figure. It actually walked out from the screen wall control center. It walked out from the Hell's Soul Pearl.
His body and soul light figure approached each other. Then, they merged together and became a complete person.
This person was actually Shen Lang.
Didn't, didn't he turn into a fossil just now?
Wasn't he already finished? But now, he looked completely unscathed.
Shen Lang slowly walked in front of Zuo Ci. He sighed softly and said, "I don't know who won the battle between me and Jiang Li. But I've already won the first battle. "
Shen Lang waved his hand.
Instantly, the outside world became completely calm. All the sandstorm disappeared without a trace.
The terrifying cold didn't subside. Instead, it disappeared as if it had never existed.
As for the yellow sand that filled the sky, it was like an illusion. The few black figures that had charged into Mo Jing and the few sky knights had also disappeared without a trace.
Then, Shen Lang gently raised his hand.
The Hell's Soul Pearl flew out from the screen wall control center and lay quietly on Shen Lang's palm.
It was as if the scene of it invading the control center had never happened.
It was as if the paralysis of Mo Jing's control center had never happened.
Of course, it really did not happen.
Everything was Shen Lang's plan.
