"As the situation in Daxia became more and more chaotic, a war that spread across the country finally broke out, with warlords everywhere rising up and disputes continuing."
Ji Yunting said calmly: "In the melee, I had the last laugh and at the same time eliminated many stubborn conservative forces."
Her words sounded light, but they were actually very heavy.
Whether it was the warlords' infighting or the elimination of dissidents, it meant the loss of countless lives, but those heavy and unpleasant past events were glossed over by Ji Yunting.
An Le thought: "It was probably because of the hardships during that period that the Queen of Da Xia came into being."
“It was at that time that the belief in gods gradually faded.”
At this point, Ji Yunting said in a somewhat strange tone: "I don't know if it's my illusion, but during that period, the interference of the gods in Daxia seemed to have been reduced a lot."
"The priests in the temple rarely receive oracles, and the gods' miracles have also greatly decreased. Even if the temple is demolished, there will be no punishment from the gods."
"Is there such a thing?"
Anle was slightly surprised, and after thinking for a moment, he had a guess in his mind.
Daxia and Dazhou are two sides of the same coin. The departure of Dazhou has also reduced the number of believers of gods by half, making it difficult to break through the barriers between the worlds.
"Or maybe the intervention of the Holy Mother of Tianyuan and the coming of the gods may not be without cost?"
At this time, Ji Yunting sighed softly: "I thought it would be easier to ascend the throne as a female queen, but I didn't expect that it would be the beginning of the struggle."
"My former like-minded friends gradually became strangers after they gained power and status. Various problems were put in front of me, and I had to compromise and preserve the existence of the royal family. Those days were actually the most tormenting."
"I've always been worried that I would let Daxia return to its former state, but the more I stick to my original aspirations, the fewer Taoist friends I have around me, just like in the beginning."
As he spoke, Ji Yunting's eyes turned red.
"I became the Queen of Da Xia, but I also became a lonely person with no one I can trust or rely on."
"How I wish you could be by my side at that time, even... just looking at me."
Anle's eyes became gentler, and he said, "You have done very well."
Ji Yunting wiped the corners of his eyes, feeling greatly comforted and encouraged, but he said, "Very good, but not good enough."
She continued to talk about the past of Daxia.
Not long after Ji Yunting ascended the throne, a new disaster struck. Gods and demons driven by the gods began to appear out of thin air in the territory of Daxia, slaughtering civilians and ravaging all living things.
Even though Ji Yunting mobilized most of Da Xia's cultivators to resist, he was still overwhelmed and exhausted.
Moreover, as time goes by, the frequency and number of gods and demons are increasing. Ji Yunting is keenly aware of the danger and speculates that the gods and demons are likely to invade in large numbers.
However, with Da Xia's combat power at that time, it was almost impossible to resist their offensive.
To this end, Ji Yunting began to prepare a plan to make the entire country of Daxia ascend.
When she recalls the difficulties and obstacles she encountered, she still feels a lingering fear.
“We did succeed in the end, but the price we paid was extremely heavy.”
Ji Yunting lowered his head, looked at his fair palms, and said with a wry smile: "These hands are no longer clean."
Anle held her hand and said firmly: "The right path always involves sacrifices. You don't have to blame yourself for it."
Seeing that Ji Yunting was still somewhat sad, he changed the subject and asked, "Speaking of which, why did you freeze yourself in this coffin?"
Ji Yunting said: "After ascending with Da Xia, most of my cultivation was consumed and my energy was exhausted. If I want to make up for the damage, I will have to spend a lot of Taichu Yuan Fluid. At that time, the various underground city-states had just been built. Taking away the Taichu Yuan Fluid would mean the death of countless people."
"Plus... I was probably a little tired, so I announced to the public that I was dead. I used this array to refine the Void Secret Power and make up for my injuries bit by bit, waiting for the day I wake up."
Suddenly, Ji Yunting smiled and stretched out his fingertips. A ray of simple and unpretentious secret power lingered on them, gently beating.
She chuckled and said, "I am able to stay alive thanks to it."
Anle couldn't help but smile and said, "You have really understood the innate Qi."
The innate Qi has extremely special properties that even time cannot erase it. It is its existence that has allowed Ji Yunting's body to remain intact and alive after ten thousand years.
Anle carefully observed this strand of innate qi, his eyes showing strange colors.
He noticed that this innate Qi was subtly different from what he had comprehended. This was most likely because the secret power that he and Ji Yunting comprehended was different!
Anle used spiritual power, divine power, qi and blood, and divine power to seek the smallest structure of the secret power, while Ji Yunting may have referred to other secret powers. It was like a blind man touching an elephant, some touched the elephant's leg, some touched the elephant's ear, the difference was huge, and both thought they had touched the full picture of the innate qi, but in fact they both had significant flaws.
This undoubtedly confirmed Anle's previous conjecture.
Anle put forward this idea and displayed his innate Qi.
Ji Yunting was very surprised after hearing this, but he also showed his curiosity and wanted to verify what he and Anle had learned and understood with each other.
But at this moment, shouts of shock and anger were heard outside the bedroom.
"Who dares to disturb your majesty's peace?"
Outside the palace, several cultivators in the late stage of the Void Refinement Realm rushed over and surrounded the bedroom.
They looked towards the bedroom nervously as if they were facing a formidable enemy, silently activating their own skills and supernatural powers, ready to take action.
This tomb of the former emperor has not faced such a situation for thousands of years.
All the cultivators realized that the terrifying and vast will just now was not an illusion, and its owner might have sneaked into the tomb of the late emperor. If this person did something blasphemous to the corpse of the late emperor, or even destroyed the corpse, they would become sinners of Da Xia!
No one dared to think further.
At this time, a tall old man in green came walking towards them, with an extraordinary bearing, like a high and mighty prince.
When others saw him, they immediately said respectfully, "Lord City Lord."
The system of the Great Xia capital is different from that of other underground city-states. The governors are replaced regularly to manage all matters within the capital.
However, although the governors may change, the lord of the royal capital never changes.
This old man named Bai Jinzhao has been the lord of the royal capital for ten thousand years. As soon as he arrived, he became the backbone of the crowd, making them breathe a sigh of relief.
A monk was worried and asked, "City Master Bai, what should we do now?"
Bai Jinchao had a gloomy expression and looked intimidating without even getting angry. He took a step forward, walked to the front of the palace, and pushed the door open to go in.
"Thief, suffer..."
His voice suddenly cut off, his body shook violently, his eyes became dull, and no sound came out of his throat.
The other cultivators were all surprised by Bai Jinchao's reaction. They had never seen the City Lord with such an expression.
But soon, their expressions became dull.
A stunning empress walked out of the bedroom. Her eyes were cold and bright, with an inviolable imperial majesty. On her red and gold imperial robe, black dragons and phoenixes were flying up and down, making her skin look even whiter than snow.
Her beauty cannot be desecrated!
Bai Jinzhao couldn't hold back his tears, he knelt on the ground, and choked up, "Your Majesty..."
Ji Yunting smiled and said, "Jin Zhao, thank you for your hard work over the years."
"I'm awake."
Not only Bai Jinchao, many cultivators nearby quickly came to their senses and looked shocked.
Although they didn't know what had happened, the woman who appeared before them was undoubtedly the Queen of Daxia!
No one can imitate that kind of imperial temperament.
Everyone knelt down and said in unison: "Your Majesty!"
Ji Yunting looked around, his eyes filled with a heavy imperial majesty that made people involuntarily lower their heads even deeper, not daring to have any extra thoughts in their hearts.
The Queen of Great Xia was notorious for her evil deeds, and her deeds were even more shocking.
Most people would be terrified just by hearing about her history, but now, with the living empress appearing before their eyes, who would not feel tremendous pressure?
Anle looked at Ji Yunting at this moment. Her face no longer had the attitude of a little girl, but instead showed the majesty of an emperor.
Anle sighed in his heart: "This is the queen of Daxia."
In front of Ji Yunting, Bai Jinchao finally calmed down. He looked up and saw Anle and Hong Yingxue in the palace. He said in surprise: "He is... the man in the painting."
Bai Jinchao quickly thought of the aura that had just entered the mausoleum, and thought to himself, "Could it be that he came here just to wake up His Majesty?"
Bai Jinchao is an old minister of Da Xia and a close confidant of Ji Yunting, so he knows that Ji Yunting is not dead but just sleeping.
Just as he was guessing Anle's identity, Ji Yunting said, "This person is the future Imperial Master of Great Xia, and also... my Queen."
"From now on, seeing him is like seeing me."
As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
The cultivators opened their eyes wide, as if struck by lightning. No one had expected that the first news the Queen announced after waking up would be so explosive.
Ji Mingyuan, who was not far away, took a breath of cold air and muttered, "As expected... As expected..."
Not to mention them, even Anle didn't expect Ji Yunting to say this.
Facing his surprised gaze, Ji Yunting turned his head and revealed a sly smile, his eyes as clear as autumn water, with a hint of shyness hidden in them.
The iron-blooded queen's tenderness is only revealed to her beloved.
She had missed Anle once, so naturally she didn't want to miss it a second time.
Ji Yunting is now the empress. After countless trials and tribulations, her decisiveness and courage are much greater than before. She is no longer as indecisive as a shy girl. If she wants something, she will just go and get it herself. In this respect, she shows the domineering power of an emperor.
Moreover, Ji Yunting always believed in one truth——
Beauty is only worthy of the strong!
It is obvious that she is the stronger one compared to the woman in red.
Hong Yingxue was so anxious that she pulled Anle's arm, trying to pull him away from here, but she couldn't move him after two pulls.
Bai Jinchao stared at Anle, looking him up and down for a moment, but he was not that shocked. He had long suspected the relationship between the Queen and the man in the painting, and now it was confirmed.
He asked calmly, "So, the Queen is getting married today?"
"If so, I'll get ready now."
Ji Yunting was stunned for a moment, with a thoughtful look on his face, as if he was thinking about the feasibility of this matter.
Hong Yingxue's face turned red with anxiety. If this continued, Anle would probably be dragged into the bedroom and eaten up, leaving not even a bone!
She didn't get to drink the first soup, but she can't miss the second one, right?
At this time, Anle's expression became serious and he said, "Yun Ting, it's not time to relax yet."
"Shengcang City is about to attack the capital. They have the support of the gods. They should not be underestimated. If we are not careful, the capital will be overthrown here."
The others were shocked and didn't quite believe what Anle said, but because Ji Yunting was there, no one dared to question it.
Hearing this, Ji Yunting was also surprised and asked, "Is this true?"
In her impression, Shengcang City was just an ordinary small town, nothing special about it, but she trusted Anle very much, so she immediately believed what she said and gave up the idea of getting married today. After all, Anle was here, and this alone was several times better than ten thousand years ago.
She did not ask about the current situation of Shengcang City, but turned around and asked, "How long have I slept this morning?"
Bai Jinzhao replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it has been 8,932 years since you fell into a coma."
Ji Yunting said sadly: "Nearly ten thousand years have passed, but it seems like a blink of an eye."
"Are the other old guys still here?"
Bai Jinchao hesitated for a moment, then said, "Many people have left the capital and gone to other city-states. Some people have disobeyed your majesty's orders and committed heinous crimes. They have been punished by us."
Ji Yunting's eyes flickered, and he sighed, "People always change."
"Jin Zhao, take me to see the current capital."
"I want to tell this city - your queen is back!"
During the exam sprint stage, updates are not stable
As the title.
Chapter 373 The Queen Has Been Here
The capital of Daxia.
At this time, the streets were bustling with people, as if it were a festival.
Several monks also built several high platforms, facing each other from afar, as if they were preparing for something big.
A monk from another city-state had never seen such a scene before, so he asked the person next to him, "Brother, what are they doing?"
