657 The ending of the Empress! Dust to dust!
After hearing Shen Langâs words, Queen Medusa became quiet.
Then, the two of them fell into silence.
âYou came from there?â Said Queen Medusa.
The place she was referring to was the great desert, but one could tell many secrets from these two words.
In ancient times, there were only two empires. One was on land and the other was on the sea, so it was fine to say that it was there.
âYes,â Shen lang replied.
âDid you see him?â Queen Medusa asked. No, did you see that totem?â
The so-called him was the heaven-gazing totem with a human face and a snake body. At first, Queen Medusa referred to him as âhimâ, but she immediately denied it later. This was because theâ him âshe referred to would probably always be that person, Crown Prince Jiang Xie, her lover and her enemy.
âYes, heâs extremely domineering,â Shen lang said.
âHave you tried to look him in the eye?â Queen Medusa asked.
Shen lang shook his head. thatâs an act. I didnât really look him in the eye.
âIt is a competent totem,â Queen Medusa said.
This sentence contained a lot of information. In other words, she felt that she was not a competent totem.
Shen lang, what do you think a God should do? â Queen Medusa asked.
Shen lang said,âI love you, but Iâm heartless!â Do not respond to the prayers of any believer, but protect the entire race.â
as a God, â Queen Medusa said, â you should stay on the stage forever and become a statue. You should never leave the altar. Once you leave, the invincible golden body will be destroyed. Even if youâre cursed, even if youâre spurned, donât leave the altar.â
Shen lang felt that this sentence made sense, but he could not understand it.
I couldnât bear to see the Medusa Empire fall forever, so I walked down the altar and became an Empress from a totem. then, â Queen Medusa said, â she was toyed with by a human. Not only did she give up her body and mind, but she also gave up everything she had. In the end, she was turned into a statue again. A broken statue.
She was talking about Jiang Xie.
After a long while, Queen Medusa said, â âShen lang, in order to obtain everything that I have, Jiang Xie paid a huge price. He even paid a strategic price. Now, you want me to offer my soul. How much do you want to pay? And how do you plan to convince me with your glib tongue?â
How could he persuade Queen Medusa? There are many reasons. For example, I can avenge you and kill Jiang Xie. Another example is that I can protect The Lost Empire and let it continue to be passed down.
However, these reasons did not need to be said. Did Queen Medusa not know?
After thinking for a minute, Shen lang said, â âI donât know how to convince you.â
âYou canât ask others to sacrifice themselves for you, can you?â Queen Medusa asked.
âYes,â Shen lang said.
âThen should I say that you still have some sense of shame?â Queen Medusa sneered.
Shen lang did not say anything.
âWhat kind of person do you think he is?â Queen Medusa asked.
The â him â she was referring to was, of course, Jiang Xie, or Jiang Li.
âI canât comment,â Shen lang said.
âYou must evaluate it,â Queen Medusa said.
Shen lang said, â I only have one goal. I have no grudges with him. Therefore, he is my only enemy. No matter what, we will talk about it after I have killed him.
It didnât seem like he had made any comment on Jiang Li, but he had.
Until now, Shen Langâs goal was to defeat Jiang Li. As for saving the world, it was his secondary goal. Therefore, he could not ask others to sacrifice for him. He was a selfish person.
However, Jiang Liâs entire body and soul were for the sake of saving human civilization. For this goal, he could sacrifice everything, regardless of the price, so he was an absolutely selfless person. However, when he was so extreme, it made people fear and feel cold.
âHeâs an extraordinary person.â âEverything he did was to achieve his lofty ideals, including deceiving me and destroying me,â Queen Medusa said. Thatâs why I hate him, but I still love him.â
Iâve said it before. As a totem, you should stay on the deity position forever. No matter what the reason is, even if the world is destroyed, you should not come down. âBecause the moment you come down, you will betray yourself and destroy yourself. So, in a sense, all the tragedies that happened to me were my own fault. Be it as a person or something else, the most difficult thing was to stay the same. I didnât manage to do it, but Jiang Xie did.â
Was he talking about maintaining his character setting?
âThe most shameful thing for a person is not betraying others, but betraying oneself.â so, to a certain extent, â Queen Medusa said, â Jiang Xie is not shameful. I am.
This made Shen lang think about many things. Thatâs right, the most difficult thing for a person is to be consistent from beginning to end.
If a person was a hypocrite and had been pretending all this time ... However, if he could pretend for a lifetime, even at the moment of his death, he would still be pretending. Then it wouldnât be pretending, it would be eternal.
âYouâre not bad either.â Queen Medusa said,âyouâve been the same from the beginning to the end. Youâve never been affected by anyone from the beginning to the end.â No matter if he became a live-in son-in-law or the human Emperor of the East, he has never changed. He is indeed his son.â
Shen lang remained silent.
you want me to sacrifice my soul to fill that well so that you can complete the high-level Dragonâs enlightenment? â Queen Medusa asked.
âYes.â Shen lang said. He still did not sound confident.
âThere have been many people who have sacrificed themselves for you because they feel that they have a duty and because they have chosen you,â Queen Medusa said. But I, Yingying, donât have this obligation.â
Shen lang was silent.
âYou might want to say that you can help me take revenge and kill Jiang Xie,â Queen Medusa said. But Iâve already told Yingluo that I brought my tragedy upon myself. He has never changed. I hate him, but I still love him. I was deceived by him because of my stupidity, not because of his shamelessness.â
Eh? Shen lang was speechless.
âYou might want to say that you can save the lost Empire. however, I also said that a long time ago, I was the same as the heaven-gazing totem. I was just a totem, a statue. I shouldnât have walked down the altar. I once gave up everything for Jiang Xie, but at least I still have my soul. Now, I have to sacrifice the last of my soul for you. Why? If The Lost Empire was destined to be destroyed, then let Wufu be destroyed. I couldnât bear to see it die, so I walked down from the altar and turned from a totem to an Empress, bringing the Fallen Empire back together.â
Shen lang remembered. In the underwater tomb of the Naru tribe, the souls of the young Medusas had said that The Lost Empire was torn apart. A few Royal Medusa families fought for the throne until they bled. In the end, they were invaded by the human Empire of the East and were in danger. They were about to be completely destroyed, and the Royal Medusa family would even become the playthings of the ancient humans.
After that, Queen Medusa descended and became extremely powerful. She unified the entire Lost Empire and made it extremely powerful, finally defeating the ancient Eastern Empire.
âIf the heavens want The Lost Empire to perish, then so be it. We canât go against the heavens.â âDonât you think so? At least, thatâs what the heaven-gazing totem thinks. So even if your desert capital is destroyed, it will not step down from its altar and fight for the last city-state.â
Shen lang continued to remain silent, and so did Queen Medusa.
Shen lang, countless people have sacrificed for you, right? â Queen Medusa asked again.
âYes, I am.â Shen lang said.
you said that your first goal is to kill Jiang Li and complete your revenge, â Queen Medusa said. so, this is your selfish motive, right? Even saving the world was just a subsidiary. What reason do you have to make people sacrifice themselves for you?â
âNo, I didnât,â Shen lang said.
âThen how are you going to return the lives you owe?â Queen Medusa asked.
Shen lang remained silent for a long time. this is not an answer that I can give now. Perhaps, I will have an answer after I complete the high-grade Dragon enlightenment and comprehend life and death.
âAmazing, amazing,â Queen Medusa said.âYou actually want to save all those who have been sacrificed.â Do you think the high-grade Dragon enlightenment is to overturn life and death, enter hell, master the energy of death, and then reverse life and death?â
Shen lang said,âwhy?â You canât do it?â
âOf course not,â Queen Medusa replied.âLife and death are irreversible.â Jiang Li seemed to have reversed life and death, but he only found a dark area between life and death and wandered in it. â
Your Majesty, â Shen lang said, â you keep saying that you brought this tragedy on yourself, but you still hate Jiang Xie. You keep saying that you donât want to take revenge, but you still want to take revenge and destroy him. You keep saying that since the heavens want The Lost Empire to be destroyed, you will not go against the heavens. However, Yingluo, you still canât watch as The Lost Empire perishes. You still canât watch as your race is exterminated. Even for Immortals, once their hearts were moved, their golden bodies would be completely destroyed, and they would never be able to return. You used to be a totem, but after you left the altar, you canât go back up.â
This time, it was Queen Medusaâs turn to be silent.
âWell said, well said.â âThe moment I stepped down from the totem position, I could no longer go back.â However, you should know that Iâm protecting the last ruins of the Medusa Empire. Once I sacrifice myself, the entire energy barrier will collapse. The hundreds of thousands of descendants of my Lost Empire will no longer have a place to hide. Wonât my Lost Empire be considered dead?â
Obsession, a real obsession. Maintaining The Lost Empireâs heritage was Queen Medusaâs greatest obsession.
yes, â Shen lang said. youâre maintaining the last energy shield of this ruin. Itâs the last chance of survival. The moment you offer a sacrifice, The Lost Empireâs final shelter will be gone. I plan to take all these sea monsters back to the sea. âOnce I complete the high-level Dragon enlightenment and save the desert capital, I plan to attack the Jiangli Empire and recover the great devil triangle and the eastern Empire. Then, I will go to the North Pole and fight Jiang Li.â
crazy, crazy to the point of absurdity, foolish. Jiang Li has mastered the power of the entire world, â Queen Medusa said. you want to fight him after youâve completed the high-level Dragonâs enlightenment? â
âYes,â âAlthough my power is much weaker than his, at least in terms of energy level, I am on par with him,â Shen lang said.
thereâs still the ultimate Dragon enlightenment above the high-level Dragon enlightenment, â Queen Medusa said. donât you want to fight Jiang Li again after youâve comprehended this level? â
I canât wait anymore, â Shen lang said, â âMy wife told me that she couldnât wait a day longer. She regretted that I had to bear so much. Why couldnât we be an ordinary rich couple? And the ultimate Dragon enlightenment? Hahahaha!â
Based on Shen Langâs understanding, the ultimate Dragon comprehension should be able to transcend time and space.
Jiang Liâs teacher, the chaotic Prophet, had completed the high-level Dragon enlightenment countless years ago. He then spent countless years trying to complete the ultimate Dragon enlightenment.
In the end, he was turned into a fossil by Jiang Xie and imprisoned in cell five.
After that, he disappeared without a trace, and the other prisoners were also released.
Then, did the chaos Prophet complete the ultimate Dragon enlightenment?
He didnât know!
However, according to the Dark Queenâs guess, the chaos Prophet had completed the ultimate Dragon enlightenment and chose Shen lang to save the world.
Of course, this was just a guess. As for the truth? Who knows?
âShen lang, do you know what will happen if we look at each other?â Queen Medusa asked.
âI donât know,â Shen lang said.
âThey will turn into fossils, and itâs irreversible,â Queen Medusa said. Itâs not like that time in the desert capital, where you were just acting.â
In the desert capital, in order to lure the snake out of its hole and find the person in disguise, Shen lang put on a show of looking at the heaven-looking totem? He even pretended to be a fossil.
Jiang Xie once lied to me. After taking everything from me, he turned me into a fossil. Queen Medusa said,âif you want to sacrifice my soul now, then youâll have to sacrifice yourself first. How about it?â Thereâs a price to everything, you canât just make me sacrifice myself for you for no reason.â
âOkay, I agree,â Shen lang said after a moment of silence.
âYou should think about it carefully. This might be a conspiracy of mine.â After I turn you into a stone, I might be free because youâre willing to sacrifice yourself to me. Iâll take your place and go to the well to complete the high-grade Dragon enlightenment. Then, Iâll take revenge on Jiang Xie myself. After all, no one wants to place their fate in the hands of others.â
âI agree,â Shen lang said.
Queen Medusa said, â Jiang Xie once deceived my body and mind. You are considered his descendant. You are also a human. I will deceive you from a human. Once you turned into a fossil, you would be a fossil forever. Your destruction in exchange for my freedom, and you still want to take the risk?â
âI agree!â Shen lang said.
âAlright, go ahead then!â Queen Medusa said. Fly to the highest point and meet my eyes.â
âAlright,â he said. Shen lang said.
Then, Shen lang left the control center of the ice pyramid and walked out!
At that moment, the lost demon mother and hundreds of thousands of sea monsters were still surrounding the pyramid. All of them were staring at Shen lang.
Shen lang opened his arms, and his entire body slowly floated up. He got higher and higher.
It floated to the top of the pyramid, and then floated to a place where the eyes of the statue of Queen Medusa were parallel. He had kept his eyes closed the entire time, because the moment he opened his eyes, he would be looking into Queen Medusaâs eyes.
What would be the consequences if they looked at each other?
She had said that it might be a conspiracy, a conspiracy to free Queen Medusa.
Shen lang had already completed the intermediate-level Dragon comprehension, and he had the perfect body that the ancient wisdom King, the Mother of Dragons, had used all her Nirvana to upgrade. Therefore, he could barely become Queen Medusa to transfer the curse and sacrifice himself to give Queen Medusa freedom?
All of this was unknown.
Perhaps, Queen Medusa was only trying to test the hearts of the people.
Back then, she had been deceived by Prince Jiang Xie and had given up everything she had. Now that Shen lang wanted her to sacrifice herself, she wanted to use the most ruthless method to test Shen Langâs heart?
He didnât know. He didnât know anything.
What would happen if Shen lang looked at her? He did not know.
Would it really be like what she said? would she be free after Shen lang turned into a fossil and take Shen Langâs place to complete the high-tier Dragon enlightenment? The ancient wisdom King and the Mother of Dragons had both sacrificed their souls and themselves to lay the foundation for everything.
Could Queen Medusa resist such a powerful temptation, the temptation to be on equal footing with Jiang Li? Could she resist the hope of personally taking revenge?
All these thoughts flashed in Shen Langâs mind.
He took a deep breath and threw away all the distracting thoughts.
Shen lang opened his eyes and looked into Queen Medusaâs eyes!
Without any buffer, the eyes of the statue of Queen Medusa suddenly lit up, and in that instant, endless energy suddenly entered Shen Langâs eyes.
The gaze of God! It was something that Prince Jiang Xie had used all sorts of methods to swindle from Queen Medusa.
In an instant
Shen lang turned into a fossil.
It wasnât turning into stone inch by inch, but in an instant!
Of course, if the scene was played 1000 times slower, one would still be able to see that Shen Langâs eyes, face, and finally his entire body had turned into a fossil.
Everything was just as Queen Medusa had said. There was no room for negotiation, and Shen lang was frozen. Not only did his body turn into a stone, but his entire mind was also frozen.
At the same time, the statue of Queen Medusa began to crack and turn into dust inch by inch. Then, a complete Queen Medusa and an agile Queen Medusa walked out and slowly floated back to the ground.
Then, the sound of
The last shelter of The Lost Empire began to fall apart.
The energy barrier disappeared, and the ruins of the ancient Medusa Empire began to lose its protection.
All the beautiful ice buildings began to collapse.
The entire 30000 square kilometers of city and countless Ice Castles were completely shattered.
A short moment later, the entire city was reduced to ashes.
In the end, the huge ice pyramid also began to collapse.
In less than five minutes, the last sanctuary of the Medusa Empire, the last home of hundreds of thousands of sea monsters, was completely wiped out from this world.
The lost demon mother and the hundreds of thousands of sea monsters were completely stunned when they saw this.
Previously, the lost mother Demon did not reveal her true appearance in front of Shen lang. It was either a beautiful body made of seawater or ice. But without exception, they all had the image of a beautiful woman.
And now, she had finally revealed her true colors.
Yingying was really an ugly sea monster.
What did it look like? Mermaid?
However, they were not mermaids in movies, but mermaids in real records. It was very ugly and strange. It had some human characteristics, but it was not a human face at all, nor was it a human face or a fish body. In short, it was strange.
At this moment, tears gushed out of her eyes. She looked at Shen lang, who had turned into a stone, and then at Queen Medusa.
Her world had been completely upended. At this moment, she didnât even know who to side with.
Queen Medusa was her eternal spiritual pillar, her idol, and her Queen.
However, Shen lang was a little hesitant.
However, now that Queen Medusa had turned Shen lang into a stone, she was free and had returned to her original body.
Why was it like this? If this was the only way to pass down The Lost Empireâs legacy, wouldnât it be better to not have it?
âAre you very disappointed?â âThe lost demon mother?â Queen Medusa asked.
The lost demon mother was silent. What should she do next? Where would he go with hundreds of thousands of sea monsters?
If her Empress had disappointed her so much, was there still a need for The Lost Empire to exist? What was the point of her doing her best to maintain the legacy of the Empire?
âTake the last of The Lost Empireâs people and return to the great demon triangle,â Queen Medusa said. Donât worry, I wonât let you down. I wonât let you down either.â
The lost mother Demon looked at Shen lang, who had turned into a stone, again.
âIs he that charming?â Queen Medusa asked. To make countless races willing to die for him?â
âGo, go!â
âRemember my words. I wonât let you down.â
The lost demon mother gave Queen Medusa a deep look before leaving with the remaining sea monsters.
Leave the South Pole and go north!
29 years ago, she followed Shen Langâs orders and brought millions of sea monsters to the South Pole. They found their last shelter, but there were still hundreds of thousands of them left.
Now, he had obeyed Queen Medusaâs will and returned to the great Devilâs Triangle.
How many sea monsters would be left this time?
Hundreds of thousands of sea monsters quietly headed north. In the blink of an eye, they disappeared from the horizon of the ice and snow.
Along the way, many sea monsters were killed and frozen in the snow.
Queen Medusa looked at the desolate sea monsters and said to herself, â âIs this my Lost Empire? Is this The Lost Empire that I have protected and passed down?â
âYes, no matter what it becomes? It is still my Lost Empire!â
At that moment, Shen Langâs petrified statue fell from the sky.
âBang!â
With a loud bang, it almost smashed through hundreds of meters of ice.
Queen Medusa waved her hand gently, and Shen Langâs fossil statue slowly flew up and floated in front of her. There was no reaction, no spiritual fluctuations.
âYouâre really na?ve,â Queen Medusa said,âShen lang, youâre so naive. How can you fight with Jiang?â Do you think you can destroy him? Youâre not being naive, youâre being stupid.â
Then, Queen Medusa flew in the direction of the ancient Great Tribulation Temple.
Shen Langâs statue was held under her waist and did not move.
..........................................
A few days later!
The lively Queen Medusa brought Shen Langâs petrified statue to the ancient Great Tribulation Temple and the dry well.
It was still two-thirds full of soul water.
itâs really tempting. The soul offered by the ancient wisdom King, the Mother of Dragons!
âWhen I transformed from a totem to my true body, I had already weakened once. This time, Iâve changed from a statue to my real body, and Iâve become weaker.â
âOnce Iâve completed the high-grade Dragonâs enlightenment, Iâll be able to recover to my peak strength. I will be able to revive The Lost Empire, and I will be able to take revenge on Jiang Xie.â
this is really tempting. Thereâs endless power in this well.
humans have deceived me, so Iâll deceive them back. Isnât that normal? â
Iâm no longer a totem. Iâm just a Queen Medusa filled with weaknesses. Iâm just an idiot who was deceived by humans and gave up everything.
âHumans harmed me, so Iâll take revenge on them!â
Queen Medusa continued to Mutter to herself.
The ruins of the ancient Great Tribulation Temple were still deathly silent.
I wonât be stupid anymore. I once lost everything because of love.
âDo you think Iâll sacrifice my soul for those illusory things? Itâs really laughable.â
Queen Medusa looked at Shen Langâs petrified statue again.
Shen lang, youâre too naive and stupid. but Yingluo, your naivety and stupidity have conquered my heart once again, â Queen Medusa said sarcastically. Iâm actually tempted to sacrifice myself to fulfill your mission? â
âNo, no, I canât do that.â
it wasnât easy for me to regain my freedom. It wasnât easy for me to grasp the opportunity to grasp the high-tier Dragon insight. I canât give it up.
I want to take revenge on Jiang Xie personally. I want to protect my Lost Empire!
âForget it, forget it. Iâve lost to your naivety.â
it turns out that Iâm even more naive and stupid than you. No wonder you were deceived by Jiang Xie.
Shen lang, Iâll fulfill your wish.
After mumbling to herself, Queen Medusa suddenly plunged into the Well of Souls and completely sacrificed her soul.
She was right, a naive person would always be naive. Even if she was seen as stupid, even if she had been deceived once, when her heart was truly moved, she would still give up everything she had once again.
In an instant!
Queen Medusaâs peerless face and body were reduced to ashes and smoke inch by inch, turning into soul water.
The well kept rising, rising!
It was finally full!
As expected, it required the sacrifice of Queen Medusaâs soul to fill it.
The next second!
It was as if a slight breeze had blown past.
The fossil statue of Shen lang, which was standing at the mouth of the well, suddenly fell and crashed into the Well of Souls!
