The Prince of East Li, Jiang Shang, was probably the most righteous and noble person in the world, to the point of being pedantic.
However, he was definitely not stupid.
Therefore, when Ji Yingsuo betrayed the Dragon Temple and eloped with him decades ago, he had his suspicions, but he had always rejected her.
However, Ji Yingsuo bore his children, accompanied him for decades, and wandered for decades. He became the closest person to Jiang Shang, the person he trusted the most, and even a part of Jiang Shang.
His love for Ji Yingsuo became a role model for the entire human world. Even Yoon Hi-hee composed songs for the two of them. They were a true immortal couple.
For decades, Jiang Shang had been searching for evidence of the Dragon Emperor's survival, as well as the whereabouts of the Dragon Emperor. On the other hand, Ji Ying Sha was always by his side. The two of them were like conjoined twins, never leaving each other's side.
Therefore, Jiang Shang's feelings for Ji Yingsuo surpassed Lan Ling's feelings for Suo Ningbing and Yan Nai 'er combined.
Once such feelings were torn apart, it was as if his heart was being dug out, as if his body was being cut in half.
However, this feeling was not only torn apart, but also complete betrayal and hypocrisy.
After truly accepting Ji Yingsuo, Jiang Shang trusted his wife with his life, and entrusted his life to her countless times without hesitation.
If he had to choose between death and doubt, he would rather choose death than doubt his wife.
All along, he had no secrets from his wife, nor did he have any mental defenses against her.
Therefore, when they were in the throes of passion just now, Ji Yingsuo could easily lock onto Jiang Shang's mind and imprison him.
At that moment, Jiang Shang's eyes were filled with despair, subversion, and destruction.
Jiang Shang's cultivation was much higher than his wife's, but Ji Yingsuo was indeed a petty person. It was very simple for her to kill Jiang Shang. All she had to do was stab him in the brain. There was no need for strong emotions, nor was there a need for spiritual imprisonment.
This was because Jiang Shang was completely unguarded against her. Even if she stabbed her sword into Jiang Shang's heart, he would not resist at all.
Just like Søren, if he stabbed a dagger into Suo Ningbing's heart, not only would she not stop him, but she would also gently tell Søren to be careful not to let the dagger cut his palm.
In Jiang Shang's heart, if Ji Yingsuo were to kill him, then his entire world would be turned upside down. Everything would become meaningless.
…
Just like that, the most righteous and noble person in the world died.
Ji Yingsuo's beautiful eyes trembled, and her beautiful face trembled.
Then, she gently closed Jiang Shang's opened eyes and said, "I'm sorry, big brother. I didn't want to do this, but I had no other choice."
Jiang Shang closed his eyes. He did not die with grievances.
Even though it was extremely painful, even though the love he had in this life was fake. But Jiang Shang had a clear conscience. When he chose to accept Ji Yingsuo, he accepted the risk. If he was killed, he was killed!
In fact, Ji Yingsuo could even feel the sigh Jiang Shang let out before he died.
And it was a sigh of relief.
He finally did not have to worry about it anymore!
Ji Yingsuo's betrayal proved that no one in the Dragon Temple was innocent. All of them deserved to die.
Then everything was simple. Without destruction, there could be no construction. Let everything be destroyed.
If the Dragon Temple was the flower of evil, then the entire human race was the soil of the flower of evil. Only by completely destroying this soil and this flower of evil could a new flower and a new civilization grow.
Your Majesty Demon Emperor, I'll leave everything to you!
I'm pedantic and wrong!
…
The next day, shocking bad news came from the human nations.
The great human leader, the noble and righteous prince of the Fire Dragon Empire, the staunch Dragon believer, the Dongli Kingdom's King Jiang Shang, suddenly died while negotiating with the Balrog Empire's emissary.
Immediately, the world fell silent.
Then, hundreds of thousands of people in the Dongli Kingdom's refugee camp suddenly died!
The Dragon Temple and the human nations sent out investigation teams and found that the food transported from the Balrog Empire contained an indescribable poison. It could only be detected through the Dragon Temple's Demon Pavilion's laboratory.
In front of the human nations' representatives, the Dragon Temple's Demon Pavilion's laboratory staff randomly opened the food transported from the Balrog Empire and fed it to more than ten different animals.
In the end, more than ten animals died.
For a moment, the human nations were furious, and the Dongli Kingdom's people were filled with hatred.
The entire human nation's voice was completely unified!
The Balrog Empire was the human nation's greatest enemy, and Lan Ling was the world's most evil demon.
"Lan Ling is not the Dragon Temple's enemy, nor is he the Raging Wave Kingdom's enemy. Instead, he is the enemy of the entire human nation, the entire human civilization. For the survival of the human race, for the survival of the entire civilization, we must fight Lan Ling to the end. "
"My compatriots of the human nations, the horn of war has been sounded. No nation, no one can stay out of this!"
"Today's death of the great King Dong Li is just the beginning. The deaths of hundreds of thousands of refugees is just the beginning. Countless more will die. Lan Ling's goal seems to be to destroy the entire human nation, to destroy the entire world. "
"The great human nation, the great Dragon people, the great Fire Dragon Empire people, the great Dragon Emperor's people, the most dangerous moment has arrived. Everyone, abandon your fantasies and fight Lan Ling to the end!"
Instantly, the crowd was in an uproar!
"Fight the Demon Emperor to the death!"
"Fight to the death, fight to the death!"
"Protect the nation, protect the human civilization!"
Jiang Shang's son, the former Crown Prince of the Dongli Kingdom, Jiang Li, inherited the throne. The new King Dong Li, Jiang Li, wore a mourning robe and ascended the throne. With a sword in hand, he cut the wooden statue of Lan Ling in front of everyone.
King Dong Li shouted, "I officially announce that the Dong Li Kingdom will end its neutral status and close the human sanctuary."
"I officially announce that the Dongli Kingdom has officially declared war on the Balrog Empire. The hatred between me and Lan Ling is as deep as the sea, and we will not rest until one of us is dead."
Queen Mother Ji Yingsuo missed her husband so much that her hair turned white overnight. She announced that she had officially become a nun, shut herself away from worldly affairs.
Ji Yingsuo's decision to become a nun drew a perfect end to her love life.
The Sky High Priest Gu Ban personally came to pay his condolences and conferred the title of King Dong Li, Jiang Shang, as the honorary priest of the Temple of the Sky and the King of Justice of the Dragon Temple.
The Temple of the Sky conferred the new King Dong Li, Jiang Li, as the Holy Priest and Chief Judge of the Li Capital Holy Temple.
The Temple of the Sky Army officially stationed in the Dongli Kingdom. The new King Jiang Li decreed that the whole nation would build the Towering Dragon Tower.
At this point, the negative impact of Zhi Ao's betrayal had completely disappeared.
The Dragon Temple had completely unified the will of the entire human kingdom. The billions of people in the world were completely hostile to Lan Ling, and entered a state of war that would not rest until one of them was dead.
The result of Jiang Xue and Zhi Ao's great sacrifice was instantly destroyed.
No wonder the Temple of the Sky was so dismissive when they talked about the King Dong Li and the human sanctuary. Shi Tian's original words were that this matter was not worth mentioning.
…
Could the Dragon Temple's trick be hidden from the world?
Of course not. Which of the royal families, nobles, and powerful families did not know the truth? Which of them did not see it clearly?
However, these people did not care about the truth at all.
The people who really cared about the truth were the ordinary people, and they all believed that the King Dong Li was assassinated by Lan Ling using despicable means. Not only that, the evil and shameless Lan Ling transported countless poisoned food, intending to poison everyone in the Dong Li Kingdom to death, creating a no man's land for the demon army to land.
Countless people's hatred towards Demon Lord Lan Ling reached the limit.
Every family drew ugly portraits of Lan Ling, put them on the doorsill, and trampled on them day and night. They carved Lan Ling's portrait under the toilet bowl, and peed on it day and night, humiliating Lan Ling to the extreme. It was as if these countless curses could suddenly kill Lan Ling.
The power of faith received by the countless Dragon Babel Towers in the Dragon Temple skyrocketed, and the suppression of the Dragon Plane also reached the extreme.
Ji Yingsuo, who was supposed to be a nun, entered a simple and unadorned courtyard. Instead of practicing and chanting, she turned around and left the Dongli Kingdom, heading for the Temple of the Sky that she had left for decades.
The Temple of the Sky officially appointed Ji Yingsuo as the Sky Priest Candidate and the Sky Inquisitor Candidate.
Of course, it was not an official title. It was what she deserved. Ji Yingsuo only sighed about this position. She had wasted decades for the Dongli Kingdom. Even if she was not a spy in the Dongli Kingdom, she would have long been in this position based on the changes of the current situation.
If it were not for the great merit of Lan Ling's coming to the world and subduing the Dongli Kingdom into the Dragon Temple's rule, she would have become the Sky Priest. However, in the current environment, this contribution wasn't so conspicuous.
It was really hard to say whether she had gained or lost these decades.
Fortunately, His Majesty Shi Tian said to her, "I have seen all your hard work over these years, and I will make it up to you."
In this way, Ji Yingsuo did not feel so bad.
…
After hearing the death of the King of the East Li Kingdom, Lan Ling sat there motionlessly for a whole night.
To be honest, he did not care about the Dragon Temple inverting right and wrong, nor did he care about Ji Yingsuo's despicable behavior, nor did he care about the Crown Prince of the East Li Kingdom, Jiang Li's incompetence and stupidity, nor did he care about the hostility and hatred of the human kingdoms towards him.
Instead, he sighed and even grieved for the death of a noble life.
The King of the East Li Jiang Shang was probably the most righteous and the noblest person in the world. And he was finally dead. Moreover, his death also meant that the death of Jiang Xue and Zhi Ao seemed to have become meaningless.
When a world's noble sacrifice became meaningless, then what was the value of the civilization?
The death of Jiang Shang represented the complete death of idealism.
All that was left was ugliness, killing, darkness, and blood!
Good, good!
From now on, Lan Ling did not have to worry about anything. He no longer had to worry about hurting those noble and righteous lives.
The last noble and wise person of the human race had died.
The remaining people were either stupid or bad. No one in this world was innocent!
