Chapter 231: 140. Ten miles of white makeup, uniquely complementing the red dress
Atop the grand hall, silence had reached its zenith.
It was only after a long while that someone finally regained their senses.
"Your Majesty, you mustn't do this!"
An elderly man with white hair wept bitterly and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty, why would you betray our nation?"

"This is not merely a betrayal of the nation, but also a shaking of the very foundation of our human race!"
Jing Lixue's expression was indifferent, "My mind is made up!"
"Hmph!"
An elder from Confucian-Mo Pavilion, across the vast stretches of time and space, let out a derisive laugh, "Ignorant child, if it were truly possible to strip you of your Fate, someone would have done so long ago. How could your Jing Family line have survived until now? If you truly can do it? I would indeed like to see that."
"Ignorant fool..."
Jing Lixue scoffed coldly, "There are many things you have never seen, just a frog in a well from the Return to Void stage, do you really think you've seen the world?"
"You?!..."
The pale-haired elder's expression darkened.
"Very well, then I shall watch what this once-in-an-eternity Divine Emperor intends to do."
Once-in-an-eternity Divine Emperor?
An emperor who abdicated immediately after ascending the throne was, without a doubt, an explosive event, not only in the history of the human race on the continent but even if one included the entire Immortal Realm.
Thus, the elderly man's words clearly mocked Jing Lixue.
But Jing Lixue appeared very calm, as if she didn't notice the mockery at all.
Jing Lixue took a deep breath.
Following that, she slowly stood up from the Dragon Throne.
It was at this moment that everyone heard a sound like porcelain shattering continuously coming from her body.
"What is...?"
The crowd looked on in shock.
They saw that at this moment, her body had already cracked open with numerous fine cracks, and drops of Blood Bead seeped out, staining her dark dragon robe blood-red, making it look from afar like a Wedding Dress.
"What is this act about?"
The people watching the blood-soaked girl expressed confusion in their faces.
Their eyes and Divine Sense weren't blind; Jing Lixue had not participated in this great battle.
How could she suddenly be injured?
Only Chu Bingyan.
She was initially startled.
Following that, she realized that the memories in her mind, which were initially as vague as flowers seen through the fog, had suddenly become much clearer.
"How can it... be like this?"
In her eyes veiled by black cloth, there was a look of disbelief.
The elder from Confucian-Mo Pavilion watched this unfold, a thoughtful expression crossing his eyes, soon followed by a flicker of understanding.
He spoke in a slightly deep voice, "I had almost forgotten, the human Divine Emperor and demon Emperor are loved by the World Bell, constantly under the scrutiny of the world's will, while the Outer Domain Demon is to the world as the Demon Clan is to the human and demon races, a presence that cannot rest until death. And now, you wish to pass this Divine Emperor's position to him, I fear, that won't be so easy."
After speaking, he looked at Jing Lixue with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "Now, you must be enduring the wrath of the world's will, right? After all, what you are doing is akin to stealing from yourself."
"Indeed so..."
Jing Lixue struggled to curl her lips, her normally limpid eyes now extraordinarily bright.
She, who ought to have been a World Guardian Divine Emperor, instead backstabbed the world's will. As a Divine Emperor blessed by the world's will, the wrath she faced was naturally even greater.
"But what of it?"
She closed her eyes and then slowly reached out her hand toward the void in front of her, as if there was an invisible helm there.
At this moment, the commoners, who had thought they were enduring a heavenly tribulation and trembling in fear under the rolling thunder, suddenly felt a warm and soft breeze brush over them.
The next moment, within and outside the city.
Suddenly, as if a spring breeze had arrived, thousands of trees and pears blossomed.
The whole Dawn City seemed to have entered midwinter in an instant.
"Oh, how beautiful!"
A girl with thoughts of spring watched the snow-white pear blossoms blooming on the branches reaching into her window, lost in a trance and murmuring to herself, reminded of her beloved beau.
Amid the city full of blooming white blossoms, Jing Lixue, who should have had no cultivation, step by step ascended into the void, slowly approaching the young man suspended in mid-air in deep slumber.
With each step she took, her aura began to rise from its original plainness, like a burning festive candle.
Ten li adorned in white, uniquely offset by the red dress.
At this moment, the heavens and earth were snowy white just for this one red dress!
In a world blanketed entirely in white, it seemed there was only this splash of red.
Under the gaze of all, Jing Lixue in her blood-stained Wedding Dress slowly approached the young man, looking as if she had achieved Great Perfection, the exquisitely flawless face showing a trace of reminiscence and reluctance.
Suddenly, she no longer hesitated, bowed her head, and gently kissed him.
At the moment when their lips touched, a soft but distinctly clear sound echoed.
Chu Bingyan stared blankly at this scene.
She felt she should step forward and stop Jing Lixue.
This had been the eternal mission of Heavenly Machine Tower, to assist the Divine Emperor.
And only the Divine Emperor mattered, only the Divine Emperor was important.
However... those legs that should have been able to stand were as weak as before and unable to rise.
Moreover, this was Jing Lixue's choice.
Even if she really went up, could she truly stop Jing Lixue?
Could she stop this once-in-an-eternity Divine Emperor who had nearly calculated everything?
