Chapter 705 Finale (8)
"Those few are nothing more than sacrifices on your path to godhood."
The young deity sneered, his words squeezed out from between his teeth, laced with anger, jealousy, bitterness, and murderous intent:
"Otherwise, do you think I would let them touch you?"
“Every time I see them approaching you, I think—” His voice trailed off, a dark undercurrent surging in his eyes:
"Tear their flesh and blood apart, and crush them completely under my feet."
Jiang Xinli froze.
She recalled the tokens given to her by her beastmen, which were protected by her rose rune barrier within the secret place.
That blood-red coral box.
Perhaps, from that moment on, He did it on purpose.
She even deliberately let Lancer reveal information to her.
It turns out that the seal she set up in the final trial illusion a thousand years ago was to protect Sheng Tianze and the others.
But having lost her memory, she fell into His trap once again.
The crimson dodder vines at her fingertips instantly swelled, and her eyes burned with fury as she glared at Him.
"Jinyuan, I will not let you succeed."
“My little rose,” the young deity folded his wings and dragon tail, a cold smile curving his lips as he approached her step by step.
"Now that things have come to this, do you think you still have a choice?"
"Heh." Yun Bo scoffed coldly, waved his hand to set up a barrier to protect Jiang Xinli and Sheng Tianze, raised his trident, and leaped into the air to block Jin Yuan.
Whether you have a choice or not is not up to you.
"Bai Yao, protect Li Li." As soon as Sheng Tianze finished speaking, he, Xuan Ying, Xue Qianxun, and the others jumped up at the same time and blocked Jin Yuan's path.
His golden eyes darkened, and his voice was chilling, "Jinyuan, you are not worthy to be a god."
After saying that, he whispered a command, "Shadow of the Beast God!"
Now that their abilities have advanced again, the energy of the 7th-tier Holy Emperor Clan is comparable to that of the 10th-tier.
Not to mention the 9th-tier White Radiance and the 10th-tier Cloud Platinum.
"Xiao Li, I'll go help." Bai Yao frowned slightly.
Jiang Xinli answered without hesitation, "Together."
Yun Bo's purple hair fluttered slightly as he let out a sharp shout, his trident crackling with purple, black, and gray lightning.
"If God is unjust, then kill God!"
The white tiger roared to the sky, the snow fox walked on the ice, the azure dragon brought the might of thunder, and the Evil Beast was surrounded by swirling wind blades—
Four towering, earth-shattering shadows of beast gods tore through space and hurtled straight towards the Abyss of Ashes!
Hua Xi unfolded her seven-colored feather fan, Ye Kuo drew his twin swords, and scorching flames rose from Yuehua's silver palm.
Jiang Xinli spun the dodder vine in her hand like a sharp blade at high speed, and said coldly, "Kill Him."
All attacks simultaneously rained down on Jin Yuan!
"Out of control."
Jin Yuan stood still, not even lifting his eyelids, only letting out a low chuckle, his dark vertical pupils slightly narrowing.
A powerful divine might descended from the sky, and everyone froze in place.
Thick wisps of black mist coiled around Yun Bo and the others like living snakes, then slowly tightened.
"All the superpowers of the orcs in the entire intergalactic world were bestowed upon me."
“You actually used it against me.”
His voice grew colder and colder, and the air seemed to freeze inch by inch.
A layer of frost gradually covered the faces of Yun Bo and Xuan Ying.
The frost grew thicker and heavier.
Jiang Xinli's pupils contracted as she suddenly remembered that nightmare.
In her dream, her beast husbands were sealed in ice like this.
Xuan Ying, who was frozen in ice, was crushed by Jin Yuan right before her eyes.
Her breath hitched, her heart clenched, and she screamed in a mixture of anxiety and anger:
"Jinyuan! Let them go!!"
"Ah—" He walked towards her step by step, gently pulling her into his embrace and holding her tightly.
“I told you that you would be my wife and that you would become a god with me.”
"Let go!" Jiang Xinli's eyes were filled with hatred. "If you want me to marry you, I'll have to die."
He chuckled softly, his cool, black dragon claws gently stroking her cheek.
"How could I bear to let you die when I love you so much?"
"You love me?" Jiang Xinli sneered. "Jinyuan, do you think love is something gained through deception?"
"You sealed away my memories before."
"What are you afraid of?"
Her words were sharp and cold, like knives.
"You're nothing but a despicable thief."
"What you call love is just to satisfy your twisted possessiveness."
"You don't understand what love is at all!"
Do you deserve love?
She gritted her teeth, her voice trembling, "No! You! Don't! Deserve!"
"Shut up!" The young deity's eyes darkened, and black mist surged around him.
He grasped her chin and kissed her lips fiercely. After a long while, he slowly withdrew, his breath slightly ragged. "We were once... in love."
"You know it was in the past," Jiang Xinli sneered. "Do you dare tell me what exactly happened a thousand years ago?"
"No, you wouldn't dare!" she roared, her eyes blazing with fury. "You're a coward, a hypocrite!"
The young deity's fingers slowly tightened.
He raised his eyes, but the corners of his lips slowly curved upwards. "The wedding...continues."
As soon as he finished speaking, the space in front of him instantly distorted, and the scene suddenly changed.
Jiang Xinli and all the beastmen have been taken back to the wedding temple by Jin Yuan.
The runes on the gemstone ground and the jade trees on both sides dimmed a bit, but the black vortex above their heads was still slowly rotating.
With a flick of his finger, the temple floor and walls instantly scattered and vanished like stardust.
The entire wedding venue, adorned with jewels, appeared on a vast, boundless platform.
Above the dome, between the vortexes, is a dazzling galaxy.
Jiang Xinli's heart skipped a beat.
This was a scene she had seen in her dream.
It was the viewing platform that Jin Yuan had once said he liked to stay at most over the past thousand years.
Now, however, there's an additional wedding.
At this moment, her beastmen were already encased in thick ice like silkworm cocoons, suspended in mid-air.
A feeling of despair gradually crept into Jiang Xinli's heart.
So that dream was a precognitive dream.
Was it all still unavoidable?
"The auspicious time is almost here." The young deity held her waist with one hand, looked up at the dome, and slowly swept his gaze over the several frozen figures.
"You have three seconds." His voice was calm, yet chillingly cold.
"Choose. Will you marry me, form a bond with me, or—"
"Watch them all die."
He slowly raised his fingers.
The icy figure, covered in frost, was pulled in front of the two by an invisible force.
Before Jiang Xinli could speak, He had already whispered a number in her ear, "1—"
The jet-black dragon claw tightened slightly.
"Crack!" The icy shadow, like fragile glass, shattered inch by inch, instantly turning into countless ice crystals that scattered in all directions.
The little blue dragon on Jiang Xinli's wrist instantly turned into starlight and vanished the moment Xuan Ying's body shattered.
Her heart felt like it was being ripped apart, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. "Xiaoying!"
The young deity remained unmoved, his tone gentle, yet tinged with a playful cruelty.
"Who should we choose next?"
He slightly raised his fingertips, and Sheng Tianze floated in front of the two of them.
"Stop!" Jiang Xinli's heart felt like it was being repeatedly and brutally crushed by a dull knife. "You're not allowed to touch him!"
She wanted to die.
But his body was firmly fixed in place, and he didn't even have the strength to commit suicide.
It felt like my throat was being choked, and a suffocating sensation surged through me.
"Little Rose," a glint of jealousy and murderous intent flashed in his dark, vertical pupils. "Does he even deserve to call you that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he released her, and suddenly raised a pair of sharp, jet-black dragon claws.
Sheng Tianze's tall and imposing body was easily torn apart like a rag.
Blood splattered, golden hair flew, and the body that had once gently embraced her was instantly reduced to a pool of broken flesh and blood.
"Aze!!! No!!!"
Jiang Xinli's fingernails dug deeply into her palms, blood mingling with tears dripping to the ground as she pleaded in heart-wrenching agony.
"Jinyuan, I beg you, please stop!"
“No.” He uttered two words coldly, tapping his finger lightly.
Hua Xi and Ye Kuo's bodies shattered one after another in mid-air.
Watching her beastmen turn into blood mist one by one before her eyes, Jiang Xinli trembled all over and sobbed uncontrollably.
"A-Yuan, that's enough, stop."
“No.” His tone remained flat.
"Crack—" Yuehua Yin and Hua Xi's bodies shattered into a pile of dust in mid-air.
With a flick of his finger, Xue Qianxun, Bai Yao, and Yun Bo floated over.
Seemingly slightly lessened in anger, He turned around, his pair of dark, vertical pupils staring directly at her.
"Do you want to turn back time and resurrect them?"
A playful smile curved his lips.
"Ok?"
The girl was so heartbroken she was about to faint.
She knew she shouldn't bow down to Him.
But now, she can't control herself.
Along the way, her beastly husbands have died for her far too many times.
We can't let them continue to sacrifice.
".good."
She clenched her fists, her palms already pierced by her nails, bleeding profusely, her heart filled with despair.
"I marry you."
"I will form a pact with you."
"Is that so?" A hint of triumphant pleasure finally flashed in His eyes:
"Then I'll make you do anything I want?"
She was weak and her voice choked with sobs, "...Anything is fine." The young deity's dark vertical pupils gradually deepened, turning into inky red, then into deep blue, and finally settling into a deep, affectionate violet.
With a slight lift of his fingertips, the bloodstains on the girl's body vanished instantly.
The ivory-white wedding dress that she had cut with her vine-like blade was restored to its original state.
Her skirt, flowing like a galaxy, moved without wind, trailing behind her.
His black tuxedo was instantly transformed.
"Wow—"
The holy, pale golden beam of light descended from the dome once more, and a deep voice echoed slowly within the temple:
"Jinyuan, do you take Jiang Xinli to be your wife, to love her unconditionally, to be loyal to her, and to cherish her forever, regardless of the passage of time, whether she is a mortal or a goddess?"
A pale golden beam of light enveloped the young deity.
He glanced sideways at the girl beside him, his gaze deep, calm, and resolute.
"I am willing."
A pale golden beam of light shone on the girl:
"Jiang Xinli, are you willing to marry Jinyuan, to regard him as your one and only partner for life, to love him unconditionally, to be loyal to him, to cherish him, and to love him forever?"
Jiang Xinli pursed her lips tightly, her eyes filled with empty despair.
His dragon claws gently lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him.
"explain--"
His voice was low, yet irresistible: "I do."
She took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly, "Jinyuan... I do."
"The ceremony is complete." The beam of light dissipated.
"That's right." His dragon claws returned to their long, slender fingers, gently wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and he lowered his head to kiss her cold lips.
"After we become sworn brothers, I will make you happy and joyful."
I will never make you sad again, and I will never make you cry.
"Trust me." He pressed his forehead against hers, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly, "This time, I will never let you down again."
"We will never allow the tragedies of the past to repeat themselves."
A flash of cold light appeared, and the tray engraved with ancient patterns reappeared in front of the two of them.
He took her hand, his gaze sweeping over the rings on her fingers, and was about to remove them.
"Please leave them behind," she pleaded.
That was her last remaining thought.
"not good."
He used his fingers to remove all her rings, necklaces, and bracelets, one by one.
The tokens left to her by the beastmen turned to dust between her fingers and fell away in a flurry.
"From this moment on, your body, your soul, everything about you belongs only to me."
Jiang Xinli trembled all over and could only let Him put the wedding ring inlaid with star stones on her ring finger.
"So beautiful, you're a perfect match for me." He took her hand, gently kissed the ring, and then released her from the binding spell.
He picked up another ring from the tray and presented it to her, saying, "My bride, now it's your turn."
Jiang Xinli took the ring with trembling hands and, little by little, put it on His finger.
My palms were covered in blood, but I felt no pain at all.
At this moment, she was like a soulless walking corpse, cold and numb.
Every breath was accompanied by excruciating, heart-wrenching pain.
Her consciousness sank into a dark abyss, leaving only an empty obsession that kept her from completely collapsing:
Save them.
They must be saved.
She stared blankly into the void. "The wedding is over. Can we bring them back to life now?"
His lips slowly curved into a smile, but his gaze fell on the ruby jade bed covered with ancient runes behind the gauze curtain in front of him.
"No, there's also the bond."
From the moment the two exchanged vows and exchanged wedding rings, runes interwoven with black dragon scales and roses began to appear on the jeweled bed.
He walked to the bedside and sat down, whispering the command, "Now, come here."
Jiang Xinli took a deep breath and walked over stiffly.
But it stopped a few steps away from Him.
He sat up straight, a playful smile curving his lips.
"Please me."
Jiang Xinli clenched her fingers tightly, biting her lips until they turned white.
"Ok?"
His gaze swept almost imperceptibly over the three remaining figures in the distance.
She closed her eyes, then finally moved and walked up to Him.
Before she could even stand properly, He pulled her into His arms.
She instinctively raised her hand to block his chest, but the next moment, he leaned in close, held her waist, and kissed her lips.
They've done this many times.
But at this moment, her body and heart were filled with nothing but rejection and coldness.
But in the face of absolute divine power, all her resistance was futile.
Gradually, the rich scent of ambergris enveloped her.
The gown, as luminous as the Milky Way, transformed into starlight, dissipating one by one in the wind.
The gauze curtains were lifted by a gentle breeze, and the rich scent of roses quietly filled the air.
once.
Again.
He seems to be never satisfied.
It wasn't until the covenant ceremony was nearing its end that He spoke softly in her ear, his voice low and hoarse.
"Can."
".arrive."
It's all over.
He gently kissed her forehead, the tip of her nose, and her lips.
"You'll soon become a god, are you looking forward to it?"
The girl's face was flushed with pleasure, but her eyes were empty and indifferent.
Become a god?
She had no desire to become a god.
She didn't know why things had come to this.
Her Aze is gone.
Her little shadow is gone.
Her little peacock, little leopard, and little wolf are all gone.
It's all because of Jin Yuan.
Kill Him.
Once she becomes a god, she will definitely kill Him.
Noticing the murderous intent in her eyes, he subtly curled his lips into a smile.
With a flick of their fingers, the two of them had changed into clean new clothes.
Although it wasn't a wedding dress, it was still a magnificent gown draped like a galaxy of stars.
He lifted her from the bed and kissed her lips.
"I prepared this outfit myself. Do you like it?"
The girl slowly raised her eyes, her gaze icy. "You lied to me."
He said that if she married Him and entered into a covenant, she would become a god.
But now, she has not become a god.
However, during the initiation ceremony just now, she could feel a powerful divine force emanating from Him, slowly and steadily seeping into her limbs and bones.
She's just a little lighter now.
But her heart, already bleeding profusely, sank even deeper, as if it had fallen into an abyss.
"Don't rush." He gently stroked her slightly swollen lips with his fingertips, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.
"To become a god, one needs to offer sufficient sacrifices."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Xinli tensed up.
"I've said it before, they were all just sacrifices to you."
His gaze swept coldly over Xue Qianxun, Bai Yao, and Yun Bo.
"The bond-building ceremony has been completed; they are no longer necessary."
Her heart sank into an icy abyss, and she grabbed His hand, asking, "What are you going to do?"
"I'll help you become a god."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his fingertips and an invisible force gripped Xue Qianxun's throat.
With its other hand, it transformed into a sharp dragon claw and viciously ripped towards his heart.
He forcibly dug out half of the crystal-clear, blood-stained Ice Soul Heart.
The half of the Ice Soul Heart beat faintly between His claws.
Jiang Xinli felt a sudden, sharp pain in the half of her Ice Soul Heart, and a chill seeped into her bones, but her heart was already numb.
Her pupils were dilated.
The extreme grief has long exceeded the limits of what can be endured.
Where the heart once stood, all that remained was a bottomless void, a remnant of repeated trampling.
Even the last bit of anger had been drained away.
She lowered her head, her eyes bloodshot, her hands clenched tightly, large drops of blood falling softly, her voice low but tinged with hysteria.
"Jinyuan, I am already married to you, and we have formed a pact."
What else do you want?
He seemed not to hear, a cold smile curving his lips.
"Mortals are not worthy to negotiate with gods."
“Besides,” He said, his voice snarling through his teeth, “those who have defiled the bride of the gods shall die.”
"Snap!" Xue Qianxun's body instantly turned into scattered dust.
His gaze slowly moved between Yun Bo and Bai Yao, finally settling on Yun Bo.
"Little Bride"
He sneered, "He doesn't deserve to call you that."
I'll say it three times: He! He! He!
The beastmen will all be resurrected!
