CHAPTER 714: 164, DREAM AND REALITY_2

She continued to ripen those fruit trees, pulling in the mysterious beams of spiritual light.

But she found that Lin Yue stubbornly grabbed her hand, looking at her with pleading eyes, seemingly eager to pull her along to play.

"Little brother, can you behave? You were so understanding before."

Xiahong Qiuhe smiled helplessly, "If you keep this up, sister will have to splash water on you."

"Ha ha... Stop it, go over there first."

She indulgently and playfully formed a small orb of water and threw it at him.

...

"Boom!"

Terrifying divine power manipulated the endless water element spiritual power, transforming it into a ferocious water dragon in the sky, roaring as it rushed towards Lin Yue.

Lin Yue looked solemnly at the Seventh Princess.

This was originally a water element spell she developed to irrigate the fields, intended to promote flourishing vitality, but under the influence of divine power, it had now turned into such a terrifying water element magic!

"My apologies."

Golden armor appeared on Lin Yue’s body as he once again stimulated the Taichu Divine Power within him. The formidable power surged skyward, instantly dispersing the water dragon.

At the same time, he flipped his hand, and the Semi-Divine Artifact Heaven Suppressing Treasure Mirror began to spin in the air, rapidly enlarging dozens of times and emitting a dim golden glow, instantly enveloping the Seventh Princess within it.

"Let me out! I want to farm!"

The Seventh Princess screamed hoarsely, continuously activating her divine power and emitting a light of prosperity and decay, attempting to break free from the binds of the Heaven Suppressing Treasure Mirror.

But Lin Yue’s realm was equivalent to the very top reverse-saints, and with divine power driving the semi-divine artifact, he could easily bind her.

Lin Yue watched silently as the Seventh Princess struggled and resisted within, feeling heartache but also a surge of intense murderous intent.

The Demon Clan...

Before long, the limited divine power of the Seventh Princess was completely exhausted.

Her body softened, and she closed her eyes, falling toward the ground.

Lin Yue immediately moved, appearing behind the Seventh Princess, supporting her body.

"Elder brother, how is she?" Lin Yue immediately asked.

"Her divine power is exhausted, and the will of the former ruler has also receded."

The Second Prince sighed softly and continued, "However, it seems she has cultivated some kind of cultivation method. Her divine soul was torn into two under extreme emotions? There are now two divine souls in her body, somewhat similar to a second primordial spirit, but more independent... a wonderful method indeed, this method diverts from the spiritual aspect, and can still do this?"

Lin Yue took a deep breath and asked, "Will the will of the former ruler affect her anymore?"

"It shouldn’t."

The Second Prince sighed, "However... Our Human Clan has faced such helpless situations not once or twice before. The existences that threaten our Human Clan in this world are just those... This former ruler is among the scariest, no wonder the Divine Emperor was gravely injured back then..."

Lin Yue remained silent.

He knew it was not that the Crown Prince and Second Prince were incompetent, but the Demon Clan was inherently much stronger. Once they made a move, they naturally had assured techniques.

Moreover, this involved the legendary leader of the gods, among the three children of Taichu, the former ruler.

Even the Divine Emperor who resisted the Demon Clan by himself was likely severely injured by the former ruler, so it was normal for the Crown Prince and Second Prince to be helpless.

He was now more worried about—

"If Sister Qiuhe wakes up, what will she do..."

Inside the city, a deathly silence pervaded, only the eerie cold wind passing by, bringing with it the scent of blood, and those twisted, pale trees bore hideous fruits like heads, as if whispering ghostly in the wind.

"Just like in the legends, wherever the will of the former ruler passes, it transforms into a dark and twisted hell..."

...

"No more fooling around."

Xiahong Qiuhe panted as she sat on the city wall next to her, "Sister is out of strength, luckily the fruit trees are almost done too, or it would have delayed sister from saving people."

She enjoyed the breeze blowing against her, almost smelling the sweet fragrance of ripe fruits, watching the rows of brilliant and beautiful trees below, observing each heavy, tempting fruit, and couldn’t help but smile.

"Little brother, do you think the people of Youzhou will like what I’ve done for them?"

"Hee... Don’t look at me like that, I just like saving people, and enjoy the gratitude they show me when I rescue them, fame doesn’t matter to me..."

"Yes, they will surely be grateful to me this time too..."

...

...

Within Di Hong City.

The Imperial Palace, Di Hong Palace.

"Except for the Seventh Princess, who has not yet awakened due to her soul being torn, all other princes and princesses have been brought back."

Inside the palace, the Second Prince spoke softly, "After the divine power was exhausted, the envoy of the real dream had also receded, but..."

The palace was filled with oppression.

The princes and princesses were all silent, as if they were still shaken or perhaps foreseeing the outcome of the future.

"This time, Great Yong suffered over forty million casualties."

The Crown Prince looked indifferently at the princes and princesses below, saying, "This is the purpose of the Demon Clan, they knew there was no chance to kill the princes and princesses in Great Yong, so they chose to make use of that true dream. This time, each of you has been stained with not a little sin, and the Divine Dream Envoy will certainly use this to judge you."

The princes and princesses understood.

In fact, even if hundreds of millions were killed, the sin might not necessarily compare to murdering a high-ranking court official.

But this was the great sin of killing hundreds of millions.

Heavenly Dao judged it as not as severe as killing a high-ranking official, because these millions did not hold as much significance for the fate of the Human Clan compared to a high-ranking official.

However, the people of the world would not think so.

Forty million perished because of the slaughter by these princes and princesses—who would not feel chilling fear?
