Terra's Magnetic Field

Volume 205: Chapter Chapter The Crazy Sword

My daughter is dead, the daughter to whom I placed my trust... The one who killed her was my most precious son. This is something that no mother can accept.

It seemed like some kind of cruel joke, God just liked to torture me like this.

But I must make a judgment, because I am the founder of the most powerful country on this earth, and I am the most authoritative and prestigious person. If I show partiality in this matter, then there will be loopholes in the justice and order of this country. In other words, this is my [duty]

Finally, I made a reasonable decision to kill my son and let my daughter live. It was my original hope that she could live as a mortal, away from the struggle of us lunatics, and live the rest of her life peacefully.

It turns out that I was wrong...

Decades after that happened, my granddaughter was born and I became a grandmother…

I felt an indescribable emotion holding the newborn baby. I could also feel the strong heartbeat in that petite body. The child's powerful cry echoed in the delivery room.

If nothing unexpected happens, she will become an unrivaled strongman when she grows up. She has the bloodline and talent, as her grandmother and mother are like this. She will also follow the path her ancestors took, go crazy after losing everything, and become the supreme emperor...

This is the fate of our clan, and also the common destiny of all those who have learned Chixiao.

I shed tears when I thought of this. It was strange that I should feel sad. Had I become weak?

Maybe... If this child can grow up smoothly and inherit my position, then I can rest. After hundreds of years of hard work, I'm starting to feel tired.

One month after giving birth, Wan Bai told me while feeding her baby by the inner lake of the imperial city:

"Mom, how about we give up Chi Xiao?"

"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment, not understanding what she wanted to say.

"I have understood it over the years," Wan Bai was relieved, "Chi Xiao's sword technique is essentially to stimulate the most insane and brutal side of people's hearts. Those who learn this sword technique all use the negative emotions in their hearts to push themselves to become stronger. Only a crazy lunatic can practice this sword technique to the extreme, just like me in the past... my sister... and you, mother..."

"In fact, we are not so evil in nature, but the expanding power forces us to kill each other..."

"What do you want to say?" I pretended not to understand her. "Are you saying that mom is crazy?"

"You're wrong," I didn't get angry because of the offensive words, "What really drives people crazy is never Chi Xiao, nor is it some inflated power, but power. Power is the poison that drives people crazy, but Chi Xiao is relying on his hegemonic thoughts to push you to give you this feeling."

"If Linghe, Nian and Xi were to sit in my position, they wouldn't necessarily be more normal than me. It's just that they chose to stay away from the center of power, which gave you the illusion that only my mother was crazy."

"Then why can my aunt and the others stay away from the center of power, but you can't? Is it this [tyrannical thought] that made you become what you are now?"

“…………”, I didn’t know how to respond for a moment, I just felt that she was being unreasonable.

"That's enough," I said, "don't say anything that will upset Mother anymore. This is for your own good."

"Yes..." Wan Bai sighed, "Because I am just a powerless mortal now, if you can't control your emotions, you will kill me."

"Are you blaming mother? If you could have done a little better, I wouldn't have had to sit in this position until now. Since you can no longer be counted on, I can only hope that Shi Er can inherit my position when he grows up. Then I can put everything aside and rest."

I looked at the baby in Wan Bai's arms. The alert little thing noticed my gaze and stared at me with wide eyes. She trembled and stretched out a little hand, and I also stretched out a finger to meet her expectations, feeling the warmth of her little hand grasping my finger.

At this moment I felt the [family love]

Then a sentence interrupted my tenderness:

"No, mother, you still don't understand yourself. You think too much about perfection, so much so that we all know it's impossible to achieve," Wan Bai said again inexplicably:

"You can only show your gentle and calm side when facing the weak, just like now when facing a useless person like me and Shi'er who has no ability to resist... and the aunts who are inferior to you..."

"Now that you have everything, you can be calm and generous, but we all know that if you encounter something that threatens your status, you will do everything you can to strangle and destroy it. This is your nature."

"If I regain my strength one day, Shi'er grows up and doesn't listen to you, and my aunt and the others suddenly surpass you... then you will become insane again and become the most terrifying person on this earth. Then the people on earth will suffer again."

I didn't interrupt her, maybe she was right.

"It's not power itself that drives people crazy, but unrestrained power... just like you, mother. Now there is nothing in the world that can constrain you. You can appoint ministers as you like, and you can kill those who resist you at will. But you don't do that now, because that calmness allows you to maintain your self-awareness."

"But we don't know when that calmness will fade away."

“Heh~”, I chuckled, “So that’s what you’re worried about?”

The topic was not continued afterwards and we all remained silent because we both knew that no one could convince the other.

In this case, let time prove everything...

Five years passed after that conversation. When Shi'er could run on the ground, I thought about passing on my lifelong skills to her. Although Wan Bai didn't agree, she couldn't object openly because she had lost her power at that time. My other brothers and sisters also didn't dare to object because they were afraid of my authority.

Another five years passed. My sword training of Shi'er was quite effective. Her strength also steadily improved as she grew older. At the age of ten, she already had a strength of 30,000 horses. I saw the shadow of Qianqian's childhood in her.

At that time, everything was going in the right direction, and all my worries had not happened. Sometimes when I recall the past, I wish time would always loop back to that time...

Shortly after Shi'er turned eighteen and became an adult, Wanbai left the royal family and no one knew where she went.

There are rumors that she has seen through the secular world and has become a nun; others say that she has gone to find a way to break my heavenly lock, and has created her own peerless magical skills somewhere, waiting for the day when she will seek revenge on me and seize the throne; and some even say that she is already dead...

Haha, people in the world are so stupid. They don’t know that what I gave Wan Bai was not a heavenly lock at all, but a direct change in her physiological structure.

Those of us who have magnetic field power have physical constitutions that are very different from ordinary people, so different that we can be considered as another species. Wan Bai's body will never be able to rotate the magnetic field again in this life. No matter who she finds to break the power or what kind of magic she practices, she will never be able to recover her previous strength...

Nearly a hundred years had passed since Wan Bai disappeared. I was still sitting on the imperial throne, looking at the leader of the resistance army who was bound by the sky chain. I was extremely disappointed with him. I looked down at the woman who looked a bit like me. After a moment of silence, I spoke:

"Shi'er, you really shouldn't have made grandma angry. You just need to obey me, and everything I have will be yours sooner or later. Why do you have to ask for trouble?"

Shi'er didn't reply, she just glared at me, but my eyes flashed with the look she gave me decades ago when she was still a baby. At that time, her eyes were clear and innocent, and I also had love; now her eyes were only filled with hostility, and I also became ruthless.

I was filled with emotion. When did our relationship become like this? What changed our feelings? Was it really power? Or...

Thousands of words echoed in my ears again.

Maybe I was really wrong...

At this point I still tried to save our relationship, and said in front of the other ministers, speaking as an emperor:

"If you surrender to me now and execute your accomplices, I can still forgive your mistakes..."

This is the greatest concession I can make. If it weren't for our family ties, I would let her experience something a thousand times more terrifying than death.

"Bah!" Shi'er spat at my words, and her saliva spurted out of her mouth and hit my face.

It seems that there is no need to say more...

That’s all for today.

Volume 206: Chapter Chapter Savior

"Shi'er, why do you want grandma to kill you? Why don't you understand grandma's painstaking efforts?" This time I am no longer speaking as an emperor, but just as a grandmother to my granddaughter, "After losing

After your mother passed away, grandma doesn’t want to lose you again…”

I have never begged someone so humbly.

"Bah! You hypocritical old woman! Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You will never pass the position to me. How can someone like you hand over power to others?! You say you treat me as a family member, but in fact you just want a machine that can obey you unconditionally! Because you don't trust outsiders at all!"

Sad words, Shier's words were sharper than her fists and feet, cutting my soft heart. My heart was bleeding when she said this.

"Break!" Shi'er, who was kneeling on the ground, roared and broke my sky lock with her explosive power. It seems that I underestimated her strength.

She rushed towards me on the stage, her hands transformed into sharp blades, and the two slashes she made were far more powerful than the previous 420,000 horses, much stronger than my sister Xi, worthy of being my granddaughter. Seeing her trying to kill me, I felt a little relieved.

But that’s it.

I only stretched out one finger, the finger that Shi'er, who was still a baby, held... With just this one finger, I neutralized her attack and bounced her back to the stage. The nearby carved beams and painted buildings were shattered by the collision of our strength, and the incompetent rats fled.

"Wow! The Emperor and Manju have started a war!!" Those guys shouted as they fled. Past experience told them that this area would turn into hell next.

"You should practice for a few hundred more years before challenging me," I stood up from the dragon throne, my body floating up without being bound by gravity, my dragon robe and long hair fluttering as the power leaked out. I moved down the stage little by little, getting closer to my stubborn granddaughter.

After I saw that Shi'er wanted to escape, I exerted force and sucked her towards me.

"Come here! You unworthy granddaughter!!"

Shi'er was attracted by my powerful strength, and her body flew towards me uncontrollably.

Seeing that there was no chance of escaping, she simply gave up on running away and followed the force to kick towards me. Her right leg was wrapped with sharp sword energy, and she used the thousands of unique skills I had taught her in the past...

"Red Sky Emperor Kick!!" She yelled the name of the killing move, as if it could increase its power. Haha~ I really don't know who she learned this from... I didn't teach her this way.

This kick had a force of 430,000 more than the previous one. Her strength surged with the outburst of emotion. Yes, it seemed that she did have my blood.

The Emperor's battle mark appeared on her face, and she was proving to me that she had what it takes to dominate.

This kick was enough for me to free up one hand to neutralize it. I grabbed her ankle with one claw and locked the power in my palm. I evaluated her moves with ease:

"This kick is powerful, with the spirit of my youth, but the technique is not yet perfect. If you use me as a standard, you are probably only 20% of the way there now."

"My dear granddaughter, let me show you what the real [Crimson Sky Emperor Leg] looks like!"

As I said this, I casually threw her into the air, and the leaking force made her flutter around in the air like a bird with broken wings. Before she could tell the difference between heaven and earth, my right leg had accumulated strength, and I jumped up, using the momentum of a golden hook, and kicked her in the back with a joking force of 50,000 horses, knocking her down from the sky to the ground, and the whole palace was shaking.

Seeing this, people watching the battle from afar echoed:

"The Emperor severely humiliated the rebel leader! The Emperor is invincible!!"

They know I can hear their compliments, but as a group of people who only care about following trends, their praise no longer makes me happy. I just feel irritated and bored.

This irritability has been bothering me since I defeated Reiwa New Year. Now my power is above theirs. I am the strongest being on this earth, and no one can resist me.

I looked at Shi'er who was sinking into the ruins. That unknown thing couldn't even withstand a single blow from me.

Damn! A nameless anger rose from my heart, and I yelled to the sky:

"Oh my God! Who can be my mortal enemy now? Who else deserves to die at the hands of an emperor like me? Damn it! Is the only purpose of my existence to destroy this land?!

And if I really want to destroy everything, who the hell can stop me? ! ! "

"Nian? Ling? Xi? Or that Mostima?!"

“Oh my God! Answer me!!” Dark clouds rolled in the sky and thunder roared, as if the world was about to end. My roar drowned out all other sounds. “If you can’t answer, I will destroy you first!!”

My aura frightened Shi'er who was not far away. This was a side of me that I had never shown in front of her.

Yes, you, a kind grandmother, are so cruel by nature.

Wanbai, you are right. What really drives people crazy is unlimited power. Now my mother has become the most terrifying person in the world, a [World-Destroying Devil] who has no emotions and only knows how to destroy! !

So where are you? Will you, who have been missing for many years, come to stop me? Will you become the "savior"?

I don't want to see a situation where parents and children kill each other, but I am also looking forward to the emergence of a strong enemy.

Wanbai, if you have really recovered your strength as others say, and have cultivated peerless magical skills, then show up! !

What are you waiting for? Do you really want me to force you to come out?

I turned my gaze to Shi'er and saw fear in her eyes. She might have known what I was planning. She struggled to half-raise her body from the mud and crawled backwards in a panic.

"You ignorant little brat! Just die here! As a prelude to my destruction of the world! Your exploding plasma will serve as the fireworks to open the festival!" Saying these incomprehensible nonsense, I shot out sword energy from my right finger towards Shi'er. This force of four hundred thousand horses combined with my complete state of mind with murderous intent can easily kill her.

By this time my mind was no longer clear and I had become as crazy as I had been in earlier years.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, dissolving my sword energy. The force was very precise, completely neutralizing my sword energy without hurting me at all. It seemed that the person who performed this move had a control over strength that was not inferior to mine.

Who is coming?

I looked up at the direction where the lightning came from, and a tall figure in a black windbreaker flashed in the lightning. It was a sturdy man with long white hair and curly horns. I was familiar with that figure.

In just a microsecond, he descended from the sky to the ground, stood opposite me, helped up the fallen Shi'er, and used his strength to heal her wounds.

Shi'er hadn't realized who was standing behind her yet, so she quickly looked back. When she saw the tall man's face, she was shocked. Her senses told her who he was, but her mind didn't allow her to believe it. She stammered and spoke incoherently:

“Mother…Mother…?…Dad…Dad?!”

(Real male mother...)

That’s right, the tall man who came to stop me was Wan Bai who had regained his true form. Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar appearance gave me a subtle feeling.

"Shi'er, you are too reckless. Leave it to me. You should have recovered the strength to move at high speed. Just escape from here as fast as you can towards the southwest..." Wan Bai stared at my actions while instructing Shi'er. It seemed that he had made up his mind to die.

"But...but..." Shi'er wanted to say something else, but Wanbai resolutely yelled at her:

"Are you deaf?! I want you to get out of here!" Wan Bai said as he flicked Shi'er away with one hand. Wrapped by that force, my granddaughter was far away from this place of life and death.

"Son, you are finally back."

Wan Bai ignored my reminiscing and just took off his black windbreaker and threw the thing away, revealing his strong muscles. Under his windbreaker, he was only wearing a tight black and gray vest and loose military pants.

This is the standard attire of the strong men of the Yan State in later generations, out of respect and imitation for the strongest.
