Fighter of the Destiny

The imperial chariot moved and the army was about to return. In an instant, the situation changed drastically, and Kyoto once again fell under the control of the Holy Queen.

She stood on the top of the Tomb of Heavenly Books, looked at somewhere in Kyoto and said, "What are you doing here?"

After the Akiyama family head and the priest entered Kyoto, they had been very silent and low-key, making it easy for people to forget their existence.

But now that the Holy Queen Tianhai has spoken, they can't continue to pretend that they don't exist.

"This whole thing has nothing to do with my Akiyama family."

The head of the Qiu Shan family looked at the top of the Tianshu Mausoleum and said with an unusually humble expression: "I would like to teach you, the empress, that we came to Kyoto to enjoy the maples."

No one believed this explanation. It was extremely clumsy and even stupid.

But that doesn't matter, because what Queen Tianhai needs is just an explanation and an attitude.

The head of the Akiyama family has a very upright attitude. The stupider his reasons are, the more upright his attitude is.

Queen Tianhai was somewhat satisfied. She looked at the other two locations in Kyoto and asked, "What about you? Are you here to enjoy the maples too?"

There was a carriage parked under the Qianqing Gate, and the old lady of Mutuo's family was standing beside the carriage with a dragon-headed cane in her hand.

The old lady's feet were bound, but when they landed on the rain-filled street, they were like nails. They did not tremble at all, but her voice trembled a little.

"I haven't been to Kyoto for a long time, so I came to the north for a visit. I have some things to do so that I can let the queen know that my grandson-in-law is about to give birth."

The Desheng Gate was closed tightly, and the head of the Wu family stood in front of the door, facing the direction of Tianshu Mausoleum and explaining seriously: "My Lady, please don't get me wrong, I'm here to see my son-in-law."

It is also a clumsy and stupid explanation, but it is different from the Akiyama family head because these two reasons mentioned people.

The old lady of the Mutuo family and the head of the Wu family left Kyoto in the dark.

The Holy Queen of Tianhai didn't speak. She didn't know what she was thinking. Did she feel that the attitudes of these two families were not correct enough, or was she thinking about the Tang family, the only one among the four great aristocratic families that did not appear?

But these don't matter. Even if the four major families really express their attitude, it is impossible to change the current situation.

She did not kill Chen Changsheng, nor did she eat Chen Changsheng. No matter how unfathomable the Taoist's plan was for twenty years in the night, it could never affect her again.

The imperial chariot map has been activated, and a solemn atmosphere envelopes the entire Kyoto city. Except for Taoist Ji, the old lady of the Mutuo family and the head of the Wu family who have never dared to step into Kyoto, no one can leave.

Neither can the four powerful men in the sacred realm in front of the Tomb of Heavenly Books.

Her cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty was heading towards Kyoto.

There are many ministers and generals loyal to her in Kyoto.

The overall situation has been decided, and now it seems that all we need to do is wait for her order.

However, at this moment, a voice rang out in Kyoto.

The voice was very soft, as if murmuring to himself, and then gradually rose to a very sharp question, with some laughter mixed in, and the meaning of ridicule was very strong, but gradually you will feel that it is It is self-deprecating, containing infinite emotion and awe for certain things, and finally everything falls into silence.

Such complex sounds and feelings are actually just a very short sentence.

"Do you think you really won?"

The speaker is a Taoist Ji.

He stood in front of a remote market in Kyoto, stepping on some dirty sewage, and behind him was a mutton shop that smelled of blood.

The butcher shop is often the first place to wake up in a city. It is very late at night. Before dawn, the lights in the shop are the first to come on.

Chopping, chopping, chopping, the clear sound of chopping meat came from the shop.

The people in the butcher's shop didn't know about the royal chariot formations rising up not far away, nor did they know that there was a person standing outside the shop.

Taoist Ji looked in the direction of Tianshu Mausoleum and said with emotion: "I always thought that tonight was the game I arranged for you, but now I know it is not the case."

On the top of Tianshu Mausoleum, Chen Changsheng looked at the scene in the night, and looked at the master on the scene. His mood was still as confused as before, with more inexplicable meanings.

Or was it because Queen Tianhai was standing in front of him, and she had just changed his destiny?

"But...this is also not your game."

"I am a player in the game, and you are also a player in the game. This is still a game."

"This is not a game arranged by me, nor a game arranged by you. This is a game arranged by God for you and me."

"Tiandao Bureau."

Chen Changsheng didn't understand what these words meant.

The Queen of Tianhai said calmly: "You are still the same as you were hundreds of years ago. You always like to say these seemingly mysterious and difficult words. A magic stick is a magic stick after all. Do you want to use these words to shake my will? How can there be any way of heaven? It's just a little conspiracy on your part."

"Yes, this is my game, it should be perfect. No matter you choose to kill him or eat him, I have prepared corresponding means, but I didn't expect that you would choose to save him, because I didn't expect, like A woman as cold and heartless as you can actually have soft-hearted moments, and what I didn't expect is that you have entered the realm of divine concealment."

Taoist Ji's voice was mixed with the sound of meat cutting in the butcher shop. It was not ambiguous, but was extremely clear, echoing on the top of Tianshu Mausoleum.

Apart from this, no other sound could be heard in Kyoto.

The palace was quiet, and there was silence under the Tianshu Mausoleum.

The Holy Queen has entered the hidden realm?

Many people have speculated about this, but tonight it was finally confirmed. This news will still shock the entire continent.

"You are indeed very strong. Even if you eat the Chen Changsheng fruit, even if the starry sky really rains down divine punishment, it may not be able to hurt your roots."

Taoist Ji's voice echoed in the night.

The slightly cold wind blew on the top of Tianshu Mausoleum, lifting the black hair of Queen Tianhai.

She just stood here quietly, standing at the highest point in the world, like a demon, giving people a feeling of invincibility.

Whether it is Chen Changsheng who is very close at hand, Wufenbi and the stargazer below the Mausoleum of the Book of Heaven, or the monk tens of thousands of miles away by the stream, they all have a vague idea that even if the way of heaven changes, even if fate is chaotic, Liu, even if lightning falls on her, she doesn't care.

"The only one who can hurt your fundamentals and make you weak is yourself."

Along with the sound of meat being cut in the butcher shop, Taoist Ji's voice became tough and cold.

"In your opinion, your will is more important and more powerful than Heaven. When Heaven asked you to kill him, you chose to keep him alive. I must admit that your confidence is still so heartbreaking. But have you ever thought about what kind of answer Heaven will give when you try to put your own will above Heaven's will?"

The Holy Queen of Tianhai said: "I have never cared about other people's thoughts, even in this starry sky."

Taoist Ji's voice was full of emotion: "So... you chose to save him."

Queen Tianhai said: "So what if I save him?"

"You are perfect and powerful. We originally had no chance of victory, but tonight, you chose to change his life for him. I believe you paid a lot for this."

Taoist Ji's voice became cold and tough: "For example, your realm has fallen, you are no longer invincible, and this... is the answer from heaven to you."

Listening to these words, countless people hidden in the Kyoto night were shocked and began to think.

Is what Taoist Ji said true? Did the Holy Queen Tianhai really pay such a high price to bring Chen Changsheng back from the edge of the abyss of death?

Chen Changsheng looked at the back of Queen Tianhai and the hands behind her back, feeling a little strange and in a trance.

The cool night breeze flows through the streets and alleys, taking away the remaining warmth and the faint smell of blood.

After a moment of silence, the voice of Queen Tianhai rang out, very cold, very condescending, with a touch of sarcasm.

"What I want to do, you mortals will never understand."

She looked at the world shrouded in night and said: "Even the so-called way of heaven cannot control my mind."

This sentence is not overbearing, but it reveals absolute confidence.

She did not deny Taoist Ji's words - in order to restore Chen Changsheng's meridians and change his destiny against the will of heaven, she had to pay a heavy price even though she had already advanced to the realm of the hidden gods.

So where does her current confidence come from?

"Yes, I was wrong just now. Your Majesty, you are willing to save him even if you fall into the realm. Of course, it cannot be for such a ridiculous reason as a loving mother pity her son."

Taoist Ji stood on the rain street, looking at the top of the Tomb of the Book of Heaven, and said calmly: "You want to use this move to fight against the blood oath you made when you sacrificed the starry sky, and to erase the words "defying heaven and changing your fate" from your heart. Leave a shadow so that you can have a chance at true freedom."

Not everyone can understand these short dialogues.

Only strong men in the sacred realm such as Zhu Luo, or strong men who have seen the threshold, can understand the true meaning.

The Holy Queen of Tianhai is the strongest person on the continent today, possessing an unimaginably strong will.

Her only weakness or spiritual gap lies in the oath she made when she sacrificed herself to the stars in order to change her destiny against heaven.

This does not refer to the oath itself, but to the act itself. Just like what she said to Chen Changsheng before, she had bowed her head to the way of heaven.

What she has to do now is to erase the layer of dust that has been cast on her soul by that old incident.

She wanted Chen Chang to survive.

If she can do this, then she will be complete and will have no weaknesses.

In this state, even if she falls from the realm of Shenyin to Congsheng, she is still invincible!

Queen Tianhai said: "You think too much and talk too much, which will make you look very boring."

Taoist Ji said, "Really? Wouldn't it be more interesting if I said that Chen Changsheng is not actually your son?"

His voice was calm and without any emotion, so it seemed particularly cold.

In the deepest room of the street shop, the thick oil knife fell heavily on the chopping board, the mutton was cut open continuously, and blood was splattered everywhere.
