Primordial Era: A God-Level Choice, Possessing Zhao Gongming at the Start

Chapter 522 A Love Tribulation: Jiang Liuer's Choice!

After everyone withdrew, only Jiang Liuer and the Empress remained in the vast hall.

Silence filled the air as the Empress's exquisite eyes gazed calmly at Jiang Liuer.

In the void, an indescribable atmosphere gradually began to grow.

Even though Jiang Liuer was an ancient ferocious insect, a six-winged golden cicada, and unparalleled in killing.

But at this moment, his heart skipped a beat, his face flushed slightly, and he inexplicably clenched the hem of his clothes. From the heavens, an indescribable aura of calamity crossed countless mountains and rivers and landed on Jiang Liuer.

If it were simply the ancient times, the leader of the five insects would naturally not encounter the so-called love tribulation.

However, after the two Buddhist saints obtained the Six-Winged Golden Cicada, they refined it for countless millennia using the supreme essence and great supernatural powers of Buddhism.

Although Zhao Gongming eventually sent the Blood-Winged Black Mosquito to awaken his true spirit, he could never fully recover.

After regaining his true spirit, the six-winged golden cicada was immediately reincarnated, becoming Jiang Liuer, which is why this love tribulation finally came to an end.

If it can successfully overcome this obstacle, it will demonstrate that the Six-Winged Golden Cicada has already broken free from its previous state and possesses the potential for further advancement.

If he cannot overcome this obstacle, the life of the Six-Winged Golden Cicada will remain as it is, and it will be difficult for him to go any further. It can be said that this tribulation of love is also a test for Jiang Liuer, or for the Six-Winged Golden Cicada.

After an unknown amount of time, the atmosphere in the hall became increasingly subtle.

Seeing this, Jiang Liuer took a step forward and bowed to the Empress.

"Your Majesty, please speak freely about what it is that you have asked me to leave alone."

The Empress was slightly startled when she heard Jiang Liuer's voice, before she came to her senses.

She looked at Jiang Liuer, and after a moment, uttered a startling question: "Would you marry me?"

"Marry His Majesty?"

Jiang Liuer was taken aback, then quickly shook his head. "I come from the Great Tang Dynasty in the East, on my way to the Western Paradise to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. I bear a heavy responsibility. If I were to marry Your Majesty, what would that look like? If the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty knew, he would probably blame me."

Jiang Liuer's instincts as a six-winged golden cicada led him to refuse outright.

The empress did not follow up with Jiang Liuer's words, but instead continued on her own.

"Hundreds of years ago, the Imperial Advisor, who was the demon you suppressed, came to my Kingdom of Women and seized power. Although he was called the Imperial Advisor, he actually held great power and was no different from the emperor."

"After the Grand Preceptor seized power, he suddenly became irritable and capricious for a period of time, demanding that his ministers fulfill his wishes. The ministers had no choice but to put pressure on the people. That period was the darkest time for the Kingdom of Women. The people suffered greatly, and the Kingdom of Women was on the verge of collapse."

"Later, the Grand Preceptor seemed to realize that the Kingdom of Women would not last long if he did this, so he restrained his behavior. But no one expected that the Grand Preceptor's attention would shift from the common people to the Queen."

The Grand Preceptor would periodically extract the Empress's life essence; perhaps this is why, since the Grand Preceptor's arrival, every Empress has failed to live past the age of twenty-five.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Liuer thought to himself, "That Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion passed through this Daughter Kingdom hundreds of years ago and accidentally discovered the Yin-Yang Demon God's remnants. Overjoyed, he stayed in the Daughter Kingdom, which is not far from Jieyang Mountain."

"The reason why my personality suddenly became irritable during that period was most likely because I was unable to refine the Yin-Yang Demon God's essence and make it my own."

Jiang Liuer guessed that the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, born underground and nurtured in the earth, was inherently a creature of extreme yin.

It just so happens to be very similar to the Yin-Yang origin left behind by the Yin-Yang Demon God after his fall in the Abortion Spring, and they even come from the same source.

If the two people are at a low level, then "coming from the same source" is naturally a good thing, as it makes refining easier.

However, both of them had cultivated to extremely high levels, leaving indelible marks in their origins, which made the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion hesitant to easily refine the innate Yin-Yang origins beneath the Fallen Fetus Spring.

Otherwise, under the assimilation of origins, perhaps it wouldn't be the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion refining the innate Yin and Yang origins, but rather the Chaos Yin-Yang Demon God being reborn through its body.

Therefore, the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion came up with a plan to use the extremely yin bloodline within the body of the Queen of the Women's Kingdom to neutralize the innate yin and yang essence in the Abortion Spring.

Otherwise, given that the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion and you, having obtained such a supreme treasure for hundreds of years, shouldn't have only reached the late stage of Quasi-Sainthood.

Jiang Liuer pondered the cause and effect in secret, and couldn't help but marvel at the complexity and mystery of the world.

What an incredible opportunity it is to have a fallen Chaos God! If someone were to attain enlightenment from this, they would surely soar to great heights.

However, it fell into the hands of the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion, and after hundreds of years there has been no progress. Now it has been suppressed under the Abortion Spring.

Inside the hall, the Empress's voice continued to ring out.

"Before that queen died, she left a message in the royal family: if a wise man were to save the Kingdom of Women from its suffering, if he was a woman, the queen would have to abdicate the throne; if he was a man, the queen would have to marry him herself."

"Jiang Liuer, Elder Jiang, I have seen everything you have done these past few days. Are you willing to marry me? From now on, we can live freely and unrestrained in this Kingdom of Women, a life that even the gods cannot match."

The Empress's voice became even gentler, her eyes gazing at Jiang Liuer with tender affection.

Jiang Liuer sighed. He had to admit that he was quite taken aback when he first saw the Empress.

A ripple of affection had stirred within him, but he knew clearly what lay ahead.

It is a sky full of gods and Buddhas, an endless array of enemies, and also... Buddhas and saints!

Even with the help of the Jie Sect and their behind-the-scenes planning, he had absolutely no confidence.

If one were to marry the Queen, wouldn't that bring a great disaster to the Kingdom of Women?

Seeing the troubled look on Jiang Liuer's face, the Empress was not discouraged and spoke earnestly again.

"I know that the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is extremely important to you. If possible, I would like to go to the West with you."

At this moment, in the Empress's eyes, the world ceased to exist; only Jiang Liuer remained.

"If you leave the Kingdom of Women, where will the hundreds of millions of its people go?"

Jiang Liuer countered with a question.

When he entered the Kingdom of Women, he saw what it was like.

While it cannot be described as a time of peace and prosperity, the country is at peace and the people are content and happy.

The fact that the Kingdom of Women could reach this point under the influence of the Grand Preceptor demonstrates the immense effort the Empress had put in.

"After I go to the Western Paradise with you, I will appoint someone else to succeed me as Queen. There will be no trouble in the Kingdom of Women."

The Queen's answer was still very simple and concise, and full of confidence.

Jiang Liuer sighed, "Your Majesty, why must you do this? The journey to the West is too dangerous. I absolutely cannot take you with me. If you are willing, then wait for me to return in the Women's Kingdom."

"So, you're saying you agree?"

A smile spread across the Queen's face, and the light seemed to brighten the entire hall.

Jiang Liuer did not speak, but answered the Empress with his actions.

He reached out and embraced the Empress, a delicate and elegant fragrance filling his lungs.

The Empress smelled wonderful and felt incredibly light. Jiang Liuer carried her to the dragon bed, lifted the curtain in front of the bed, and slipped inside.
