Chapter 619 But I also respect you
"no!"
Lu Yangyang shouted, "No!"
“You’re not waiting for him to come back and destroy Yuechuan. You’re just waiting, waiting to completely convince yourself to kill them all. You’ve nurtured this country with your blood and sweat for over fifty years. No one cares about them more than you, and no one is more reluctant to do it than you. So you’ve waited year after year, not for your brother who never returned, but for the bond between you and Yuechuan that you can’t sever, until the day you have no choice but to sever it.”
"If that weren't the case, why did you choose Yue Ling as your successor in the end? Because you were still thinking, you were still gambling, gambling that after you destroyed all this evil, there would be someone who could bring new hope, someone who could wash away all the unbearable things from this land that you see as full of evil, and then start anew."
"Hahahaha," King Yuechuan laughed, "Little girl, aren't you afraid that if you say that, I'll get angry and refuse to give you the Azure Python's venom!"
Lu Yangyang didn't want to give up, but from the very beginning when the bet was made, she never thought she would definitely win.
“I want the Azure Python’s venom, but I also respect you, King Yuechuan,” Lu Yangyang said.
“I really can’t help but like you. It’s a pity we met too late. If we had met in a different way,” King Yuechuan looked at Lu Yangyang gently, “I would also like to go with you to see the excitement of the capital and taste the wine of the night conversation.”
He handed a small purple bottle to Lu Yangyang: "This is what you wanted, but there's one thing I still have to tell you: things in life are rarely perfect. To get the venom from the Azure Python, you have to exchange one life for another, and it's not up to you. I hope that when that day comes, you won't be too sad."
King Yuechuan watched as Lu Yangyang took the small bottle, then suddenly and forcefully flung her hand away.
"Qingmo's blood is the antidote. It will work as you wish, but how many people it can save depends on fate."
King Tsukikawa's body slowly fell downwards.
Just then, a giant python suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the sky, coiling around something, and screams of alarm erupted from the crowd.
"The God of Gu has appeared! The God of Gu has appeared! The God of Gu has manifested!"
"The Gu God has manifested!"
Lu Yangyang's downcast eyes met Yuechuan Wang's gaze as he plunged into the furnace, and in an instant, she was engulfed by the flames.
Lu Yangyang gripped the small bottle in her hand, looked up at the shadow in the void, turned her gaze to meet Yin Yueling's eyes, and nodded slightly to Yin Yueling.
Tears welled up in Yin Yueling's eyes in an instant.
She tilted her head slightly, meeting Lu Yangyang's gaze, and slowly opened her mouth, following Lu Yangyang's lip movements.
"The Gu God has appeared in the world, the Mingyue clan has been wiped out, their bloodline has been destroyed, and all living beings are equal."
Her voice, word by word, resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
The people of Yuechuan beneath the altar erupted in an instant.
Yin Yueling walked step by step to the front of the altar. Behind her, the members of the Yuechuan royal family had been slaughtered by the Yuechuan royal army that had just appeared from the shadows. Blood flowed down the white jade steps, dripping down the railings at the edge of the altar and disappearing into the raging fire.
Yin Yueling, stepping over the blood-soaked ground, walked to the railing of the altar, faced the people of Yuechuan, and raised her voice to speak.
"People of Yuechuan, from this day forward, I will succeed to the throne of Yuechuan. I hereby proclaim to Yuechuan that the God of Gu bestows grace upon all living beings, and from this day forward there will be no distinction between noble and lowly bloodlines."
The people kneeling and worshipping below were so moved that they wept tears of joy.
"It's true! The Gu God really has manifested!"
"The Gu God will protect us forever! The Yuechuan Royal Family no longer exists. It turns out the Yuechuan Royal Family really can cease to exist!"
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! The Gu God will protect us forever!"
"The God of Gu bestows grace upon all living beings!"
"Greetings, King Yuechuan!"
In that instant, it was as if the voices of the people reached the heavens, and the gods heard the cries of the believers, parted the clouds, and appeared in the world.
At the same time, the giant python Qingmo, which had followed the previous King of Yuechuan, Mingyue Li, slammed its head heavily against the white jade railing until it broke and bled profusely. The blood gushed into the furnace below, where the flames devoured the blood droplets. A strange fragrance wafted up, and the faces of the people who were struggling from the poisoning gradually improved after smelling this fragrance.
After finishing all this with his head bleeding, Qingmo leaped into the furnace.
The flames quickly engulfed it.
But it went without hesitation, because it had already completed its entire mission.
The person who accompanied it throughout its life has already gone to wait for it.
Lu Yangyang took a few steps forward and looked at the now-unseen dark figure, with only the flames still rising.
“So there really is no such thing as the Longevity Gu…” Lu Yangyang murmured, “Qingmo, Qingmo is the Azure Python.”
