The Emperor's daughter just shook her head and said nothing more.
She just thinks that the winner is the king and the loser is the villain, and if you lose, you lose.
Chapter 125: This World (5k)
The Empress of the Chichi Emperor slumped on the ground. She seemed to realize something and her expression gradually calmed down.
"I have always known that everything I have done... is not perfect." The Scarlet Emperor said softly. At this moment, she seemed to have regained some of her former dignity. "But in the face of great difficulties, there must be a way to go.
"You know, the human race today no longer has the blessing of God. The only one we can rely on is ourselves."
She and Yao Ji were both eyewitnesses of the Battle of Zhuolu, and of course they were well aware of how dangerous it was. Even though the human race at that time still had the favor of God, they still paid a huge price.
If the disaster from ghosts and gods comes again, even if the scale is not as large as in the past, the human race will have no possibility of resisting given its current weakness.
All this... is just a sideways move of the sword.

Yao Ji didn't say anything. She turned her head and looked at Chi Nu, signaling her to let her go.
Akane hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of her hand.
Yao Ji nodded slightly to her, then walked step by step to the front of the Ci Chi Emperor's daughter and sat down.
"You know, I have predicted the end of this world."
"It is because of the ending you told me that I made these crazy decisions." The Scarlet Emperor said, "Your predictions have always been accurate. If you want to change... you can't do it without paying some price."
After losing the influence of her godhead, she was willing to admit that these decisions were indeed crazy, but... if it happened again, the Scarlet Emperor would not change her decision.
Because from the beginning to the end, these were the thoughts of the Empress Cixi herself, and the influence of the divine nature only made her more determined to carry them out.
"... Of course I know."
Yao Ji slowly closed her eyes.
It was because she knew this that she hesitated for so many years.
After all, Yao Ji does not have the cold will of a god to bear the pressure of making these decisions for herself.
However, can doing so save all living beings from the disasters of ghosts and gods that are destined to befall them in the future
No one knows the answer.
"It's just that, second sister, they are really suffering." Yao Ji opened her eyes and sighed, "Until now, I still remember every scene of wandering in the wilderness for thousands of years.
"Only when they are completely liberated by a miracle can I see a color called 'hope' on their faces. '
"After so many years, you still haven't changed your weak nature." The Scarlet Emperor shook her head, looking disappointed, and then turned her gaze to Luo Ling, "For this, are you willing to collude with the minions of ghosts and gods?"
"... Princess, you are quite rude."
Luo Ling originally wanted to watch from the side and not get involved in the feud between the sisters, but unexpectedly, she was still called by the Empress Chidi.
"Did I say something wrong?"
The Scarlet Emperor's daughter looked at Luo Ling's hands, a trace of emotion that was difficult to conceal flashed across her face.
Even Yao Ji looked at Luo Ling with a puzzled look on her face.
Because at this moment, Luo Ling, both in terms of her aura and appearance, was an out-and-out minion of ghosts and gods. She was very different from the fairy lady she had seen in the abandoned city before, almost like two different people.
"I must be wrong!"
The Akena next to her glared back immediately.
She didn't care whether it was right or not. Anyway, the woman in front of her wanted to kill her sister Yao Ji, so she must be a bad person.
Since they are already bad guys, everything they say must be wrong.
"Yes and no."
Luo Ling walked over, casually inserted the Human Emperor Sword into the ground beside him, and then also sat cross-legged on the ground, which made the sisters Yao Ji and Ci Chi Di Nu look a little confused.
No, sister, this is the Human Emperor Sword!
Even though Yao Ji herself said just now that it is not the one who holds the Human Emperor Sword who is called the Human Emperor, but the sword held by the Human Emperor is called the Human Emperor Sword, but no matter what... this sword is the spiritual sustenance of the human race's will.
As a result, when it fell into Luo Ling's hands, it was really just treated as an ordinary weapon.
"The power I am using now is indeed not much different from the power of the 'ghosts and gods' that you mentioned."
Luo Ling stretched out her terrifying and ferocious hands. She used to be afraid of her own appearance, but after knowing the truth of everything, she was able to look at it all with a normal mind.
"But that doesn't mean I'm a minion of the 'ghosts and gods'. From the beginning to the end... the 'ghosts and gods' couldn't influence me in the slightest. The 'ghosts and gods' power I used didn't come from the 'ghosts and gods' themselves, but only belonged to me."
Just like the powers obtained or used by other ability users are all derived from existences above the sequence, Luo Ling's powers belong entirely to herself. Her "doomsday" and "transformation" are both her own power, just following the same path.
Even when he first used this power, Luo Ling's mind was not profoundly affected, it was just that his personality differed slightly depending on the ability he used.
If Luo Ling was in his normal state, he would be much more restrained than he is now.
Unfortunately, Yao Ji and the Emperor Ci Chi could not understand what Luo Ling said, and the doubts in their eyes became even more intense.
"But, I have seen you use the miracle bestowed by God before." Yao Ji calmed down for a moment and continued to ask, "What is going on here?"
"What?"
Hearing these words, the one who was surprised was the Emperor Chi's daughter standing next to her.
She looked at Yao Ji and Luo Ling in disbelief, her eyes constantly moving between them.
"Third sister, do you mean... that she still has the gift of God until now?"
If it were before, the Empress Cixi would only think that Yao Ji was making excuses for her collusion with the minions of ghosts and gods, but now that things have come to this, there is no need for Yao Ji to deceive herself anymore.
In other words...
The Emperor's daughter Chi Chi looked at Luo Ling with her arms folded across her chest in doubt and uncertainty. Looking at her ferocious and seductive appearance, it was hard to imagine that she had any connection with God.
What's more... God had completely abandoned the human race after the Battle of Zhuolu.
“Yes and no.
Luo Ling repeated his previous answer.
"Like the power of 'ghosts and gods', the 'gift from heaven' that I use does not come from heaven, but belongs to me alone."
Yao Ji and Ci Chi Di Nu were still confused by what they heard. As for Chi Nu next to them, she hadn't understood since the first sentence and simply stood aside to recover.
Just now, she used the strange ability granted by the "ghosts and gods" to save Sister Yao Ji from the hands of the Zhu Xian Four Swords Formation, but it was her first time to use this power, and she didn't know the consequences.
He tried his best in the dangerous moment, fearing that his ability would be broken by the Zhu Xian Four Sword Formation. Until now, he felt exhausted and had to find a corner to lean on.
"Even so, I still have a question." Yao Ji calmed down and said in a deep voice, "Why do you have the power of 'God' and 'ghosts'? Isn't there a conflict?"
Luo Ling was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.
In this legendary land, there is no concept of paths. Due to the arrangement made by Tusheng's mother before her death, this place leads directly to the origin of the paths, which is "Metamorphosis" and "Doomsday". There are no so-called six extended paths.
So, they don't know that the path has two opposite ends.
"If I say that the so-called 'ghosts and gods' and 'God' are actually the same entity... what would you think?" Luo Ling said after pondering for a moment.
"absurd!"
The Ci Chi Emperor's daughter lightly rebuked him and looked directly at Luo Ling, but her face turned a little pale.
"Even though God has abandoned us now, He did protect us from the ghosts and gods in the past. If He is a ghost and god, why would He do this?"
Although Yao Ji did not say anything, from the look in her eyes, she did agree with what the Red Emperor's daughter said.
“This thing is very troublesome to explain.”
Luo Ling couldn't help but scratch the back of her head in distress. If she told the story from the beginning, it would take forever. Not to mention that she couldn't use the Puppet Song ability now. Even with the memory pack, it would be difficult to include all the ins and outs.
"Anyway, this is the situation." Luo Ling spread his hands and said, "I can't explain it. You can believe it or not."
"Heh..."
The Empress Cixi sneered, but at this moment her pupils shrank slightly. She coughed heavily a few times, and her breath instantly became weak.
A large pool of filthy blood appeared on the ground, constantly corroding the surrounding sand.
"Second sister, what are you doing..."
Yao Ji looked at the black sand on the ground, a look of shock on her face.
"Haha, this day... has finally come?"
The Empress of the Chichi Emperor endured the injury, a hint of bitterness flashing across her face.
"Could it be that..."
Yao Ji looked at the Scarlet Emperor's daughter and suddenly thought of a saying that had been circulating for a long time.
"That's right." The Empress of the Red Empire closed her eyes, "We who killed Chi You with our own hands cannot escape the spread of the power of ghosts and gods.
"First it was Ba, then it was Father, and then it was me... Next, it's your turn.
"I have always relied on the power of the Human Emperor Sword to resist the spread of this injury, even at the cost of my own will. But after the Human Emperor Sword was taken away, my life has entered a countdown."
There is a trace of power from the outer gods in the Human Emperor Sword. Although the Red Emperor's daughter does not know this, she knows that the Human Emperor Sword is the only thing in the world that can contend with ghosts and gods.
Yao Ji looked at the Emperor's daughter Ci Chi in silence. She had no feelings about the death of her second sister, but when a similar death fate was about to befall her, she was a little at a loss.
She was not afraid of death, but she was worried that with her death, all living beings would lose their last hope.
But if she picked up the Human Emperor Sword, would she become like the Scarlet Emperor's Daughter
Therefore, Yao Ji's expression rarely showed a hint of struggle.
This is an extremely difficult decision.
The Red Emperor's daughter struggled to get up, strange features gradually appeared on her body, and waves of black air continued to surge.
The fair skin began to fester in large patches, and a foul stench filled the air.
Her originally beautiful face had become unsightly due to the countless pieces of decay, although her expression remained the same.
The Empress of the Red Crimson Emperor raised her head, looked into the darkness in the distance, and said softly,
"Third sister, it's time for me to follow our father, and what choice can you make?"
She gave Yao Ji a strange smile, then used up her last bit of strength to soar into the air.
At the cost of completely overdrawing itself, it flew towards the darkness in the distance.
When her life was coming to an end, the daughter of the Emperor Chi made the same choice as the two emperors and stepped directly into the realm of ghosts and gods.
Yao Ji silently watched her second sister go away, then turned her gaze to the Human Emperor Sword next to Luo Ling with a complicated expression.
"If you want to take the Human Emperor Sword, just take it. I don't need it." Luo Ling said directly, "But... just like the case of the Scarlet Emperor's Daughter, there is a price to pay for using it."
Even Luo Ling couldn't guarantee the safety of an outer god whose attitude was unknown.
But she was not sure whether it was the choice of the Red Emperor herself that led to all this, or whether it was due to the influence of the foreign gods in the Human Emperor Sword.
All other powers in the Human Emperor Sword that were granted by the Scarlet Emperor's daughter were taken away by Luo Ling. The only one left was the essence of the Human Emperor Sword, which was also the part that Luo Ling could not interfere with.
After a moment, Yao Ji made her choice.
"Give me the Human Emperor Sword," Yao Ji stretched out her hand and said, "I have to be responsible for all living beings."
"OK.
Luo Ling drew out the Human Emperor Sword and threw it directly to Yao Ji.
Yao Ji took the sword and held the hilt gently, but her expression became more complicated.
Once, she was unwilling to shoulder such a heavy responsibility and directly refused to compete with her second sister for the qualification to be the emperor of mankind.
But now...
She had to sit in this position.
"Ms. Luo Ling, you seem to know a lot of things."
Yao Ji put away the Human Emperor Sword, looked up at Luo Ling, and said in a low voice.
"Just a little more than you."
Luo Ling said without comment.
"So, do you know how to save the world?"
