Chapter 223: The Unwillingness of Qian Renxue, Cooperation?
But she didn't understand these things. When she was only nine years old, due to her youthful ignorance, she had a falling out with Bibi Dong and agreed to infiltrate the Tiandou Imperial Palace. That infiltration lasted for twenty years!
For twenty years, she couldn't be herself. She couldn't fully devote herself to cultivation and had to hide, waiting for the right moment to take control of Tiandou's throne, help Wuhun Hall unify the continent, and then regain her true identity as a woman, pursuing the peak of power!
But now, she hadn't even had the chance to pursue that, and she was about to die at Ye Wen's hands.
"Damn it! Ye Wen, I'm going to fight you to the end!" At this moment, Ning Rongrong, filled with fear, suddenly gathered courage, pulled out a dagger from her waist, and rushed toward Ye Wen to stab him.
"No! Rongrong, don't!" Ning Fengzhi shouted in a panic.
At this moment, Ye Wen had switched back to his human form and looked expressionlessly at Ning Rongrong, who was charging at him with a dagger.
Just as she was about to reach him, Ye Wen suddenly swung his arm and slapped her across the face: "Get out of the way."
With a loud slap, Ning Rongrong screamed, being sent flying. Her entire face swelled, and she crashed to the ground, almost knocked unconscious.
This was the second time she had been slapped by Ye Wen, the second time she had been slapped in the face.
She covered her cheek, but at this moment, Ning Rongrong no longer had the pride of a little princess. The reason she had been arrogant, proud, and willful was because she knew her identity was powerful.
But now, she didn't dare to act with such arrogance anymore. She was very clear that Ye Wen, standing before her, was far more powerful than her.
"Rongrong!!!" Ning Fengzhi was heartbroken, but in front of Ye Wen, he too was just an ant that could be easily crushed!
"You, get out of the way."
Ye Wen immediately flashed to Ning Fengzhi's side and slapped him away.
"Ahhhh!"
Now, only Ye Wen and Qian Renxue were left.
"Qian Renxue." Ye Wen walked step by step toward Qian Renxue.
With every step Ye Wen took, Qian Renxue felt death drawing closer. She no longer resisted because she knew it was useless. She had already prepared herself for death.
"Kill me," Qian Renxue slowly spread her hands, closing her eyes, a tear of unwillingness falling from the corner of her eye.
Ye Wen stood in front of her, reached out, and grabbed her neck.
Despite being prepared for death, when Ye Wen's hand gripped her neck, her body trembled, and she still feared death. She wasn't afraid to die, she just wasn't willing to die like this.
"Who says I'm going to kill you?" Ye Wen said.
"Huh...?"
Qian Renxue froze, opened her eyes, and looked at Ye Wen in confusion. She knew Ye Wen knew her identity as the Young Mistress of Wuhun Hall.
"You're not going to kill me? Why?" Qian Renxue asked, still bewildered.
"Because keeping you alive is useful to me." Ye Wen replied, then added, "Qian Renxue, let's cooperate, shall we?"
"Cooperate?"
"That's right, let's cooperate, so that the human and beast races no longer provoke wars or conflicts. I'm not just talking about the present, but also the future, thousands of years, even tens of thousands of years from now." Ye Wen's face was serious as he spoke.
Ye Wen wanted to ensure that the rule, "Humans may not kill soul beasts except to obtain soul rings," would last forever. He wanted it to be upheld for as long as possible.
But in order to achieve this, it was not enough for the Soul Beasts to use their power to suppress humans. They also needed humans to truly recognize and accept it.
After all, once the Soul Beasts ascended to the divine realm, they could no longer casually descend to the mortal world.
Ye Wen strongly agreed with the rule that the gods could not casually interfere in the mortal realm, because the gods' power was immense. If countless gods could interfere at will, this world would descend into chaos.
Even if Ye Wen created his own divine realm, he would still set certain rules in place.
Once his divine realm was established under the eyes of the Douluo Divine Realm, it would inevitably be influenced by the Douluo Gods, unless Ye Wen wiped out all the human gods from Douluo and completely dominated the world, creating only one divine realm.
Therefore, years in the future, when these powerful Soul Beasts ascended, maintaining the rule of not casually hunting Soul Beasts for soul rings might become difficult.
In a thousand years, this rule might very well be broken.
At that time, either Ye Wen would continue to send Beast Gods to suppress the situation, or...
He needed a human power figure to take the stance of a human leader and enforce this rule across all of humanity.
Qian Renxue was the perfect candidate.
She was the Young Mistress of Wuhun Hall, a descendant of the Six-Winged Angel family.
Looking from the perspective of the protagonist group, Wuhun Hall might be seen as the villain, but from the perspective of ordinary Soul Masters, commoners, and the majority of humans, Wuhun Hall was the embodiment of justice.
The Pope's Hall in Wuhun City was a sacred place for countless Soul Masters and civilians, and the Six-Winged Angels, as the symbol of Wuhun Hall, were revered as divine, holy figures.
There was no one more capable of receiving the worship and faith of so many humans than the Six-Winged Angels.
"Future? Thousands of years, tens of thousands of years? Heh, by then, we will no longer be in this world. How can we bind future generations?" Qian Renxue sneered, a little sarcastic. She didn't believe she had the ability to enforce such a rule.
Indeed, if it was just the current Qian Renxue and Wuhun Hall, it would be impossible.
Ye Wen smiled, then said, "Heh, what if I allow your Wuhun Hall to unify this continent, give you control over Wuhun Hall's power, and make Wuhun Hall the Wuhun Empire, ruling this continent? What if I make you the first female emperor in history?"
"Then, what if I make you the Angel God?"
"What! This…" Qian Renxue's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Ye Wen, her heart in shock. She wondered if he truly intended to do so.
But indeed!
If that happened, Wuhun Hall would rule the continent, she would become the empress, and ascend to the Angel God position. As the ruler of the continent, as the empress, with the power and sanctity of the Angel God, she would establish this rule that couldn't be broken, allowing it to endure for thousands or even tens of thousands of years.
