Chapter 5016 I Will Protect Him

Chapter 5016 I Will Protect Him
"His Majesty and I have no children," the Empress said.

Xiao Yan was stunned. This didn't seem quite right, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

"You want to ask whether it didn't exist, or whether it died prematurely?"

The Empress saw through Xiao Yan's thoughts at a glance, causing Xiao Yan to raise an eyebrow. The thought had only flashed through his mind for a moment.

"Although Your Majesty and I are bound by marriage, we have never consummated our marriage," the Empress said, causing Xiao Yan to be startled once again.

"It's as you think. Countless ages have passed, and I have yet to break free from the cycle of birth and death, nor can I break free from the cycle of love."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan revealed an undisguised look of shock. The Empress's previous behavior did not seem like that of someone who had been aroused by lust. How could the feminine charm that had seduced Xiao Yan be fake?

"Are you trying to say that I don't look like it?" The Empress looked up at Xiao Yan and smiled slightly, and the latter nodded.

"Although I haven't felt any lust, I've seen quite a few women, so I can still sense their feelings. But it doesn't seem to be very tempting to you."

Xiao Yan remained silent throughout; the Empress did all the talking. As for what he wanted to say but couldn't bring himself to say, the Empress spoke for him.

Xiao Yan gave a wry smile, but there must be a reason why the Empress had never been aroused by lust and had not consummated her marriage with the Venerable One.

"The Empress wants to plot the secrets of heaven, secrets that not everyone can calculate. Is it because of this?" Xiao Yan said slowly, and the Empress smiled upon hearing this.

"Since the first time I met you, your cunning and wisdom have grown stronger. Given time, the Venerable One of Shenxi will be able to return."

The Empress smiled and said, then a golden light flashed in her eyes as she looked at Xiao Yan again and continued to speak.

"Regarding what you said, go find Ding Yue; perhaps she has a solution."

"However, this is only one method. If you want to succeed, you have to try more methods."

The Empress didn't say anything more about her own affairs, but instead told Xiao Yan where he should go next.

Looking at the Empress, Xiao Yan clasped his hands in a deep fist salute. He could sense that the Empress's condition had deteriorated significantly since he first met her and after arriving in the Ancient God Realm.

After leaving the Thousand Machines Pavilion, Xiao Yan kept thinking.

"The Empress is not good at fighting. Her realm is even stuck at the third level of the Immortal God. As a strong person from the era of the Venerable One, she should be stronger. Why did she stop?"

"Moreover, although the Empress did not say it, she knows so much, which must be related to the secrets of heaven. Peeping into the secrets of heaven, knowing the will of heaven, also damages the will of heaven. Even the immortality of the gods may not be able to make up for it."

Although it was just Xiao Yan's guess, he could still sense the changes in the Empress. Moreover, she told Xiao Yan many secrets, believing that Xiao Yan's strength had increased and he could know more.

Xiao Yan then slowly and steadily flew towards Ding Yue's location.

After Xiao Yan left, the Empress in the Thousand Machines Pavilion, with her three thousand flowing hairs fluttering behind her, had one strand of her originally jet-black hair turn from black to white at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Empress's eyes remained expressionless. With a flick of her finger, the white hair was concealed, and in the instant her hair was lifted, the number of white strands was countless...

"What good is it to scheme against the heavens? He cared for all living beings and protected me all my life, unwilling to let me plot against him. But what did I get in return? This time, I will protect him, no matter the outcome!"

The Empress murmured softly, but her words revealed her strong and unwavering belief.

Where Ding Yue was, the area was filled with Void God ships, but she had modified them all into golden Ancient God ships.

Wearing a headscarf, she studied the Styx technology, which came from a higher level of the Void, with a serious gaze. In the days that followed, she had come to understand all of the Styx technology.

Therefore, in addition to these ancient god ships modified from the Void God Ship, Ding Yue has begun to build a powerful ark belonging to Shenxi itself.

Xiao Yan's gaze swept around, and there were many figures here, all of whom were Ding Yue's followers and his capable assistants.

This area is a restricted zone, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter it. There are clear rules in the Ancient God Realm, so no one except Ding Yue's people can enter it.

However, the moment Xiao Yan appeared here, someone came forward, and unlike before, they clasped their hands in a fist and bow to Xiao Yan.

"Welcome, Young Master Xiao. Miss Ding Yue is just ahead. I'll lead you there."

Following this person, they soon arrived at Ding Yue's location. After venturing deeper into the area, the magnificent dragon appeared before Xiao Yan's eyes.

It was modeled after Long Yi's true form, Zhu Jiuyin, by Ding Yue. However, it is not yet finished. The dragon head has been completed and the body is thousands of feet long, but it is still far from being as good as Long Yi's real Zhu Jiuyin.

"Master Xiao!"

Ding Yue was overjoyed to see Xiao Yan. She owed all her achievements and expertise in Styx Technology to Xiao Yan.

Within the ancient god realm, she was provided with as much manpower and material resources as possible, without any conditions.

Ding Yue did not disappoint the Ancient God Realm. He created countless powerful weapons and made use of everything left over from the Taixu War to strengthen the Divine Xi!
"Nizi's talent is amazing. This small world is already taking shape. Not bad, not bad!"

Xiao Yan gave Ding Yue a thumbs up and praised her repeatedly. Ding Yue couldn't stop smiling. Receiving recognition is naturally a pleasant and happy thing.

"When did you return, Young Master Xiao? Is there something you need from me?" Ding Yue asked Xiao Yan with a smile and a scratch on his head, his usual carefree manner finally settling on his question.

"Yes, there is indeed something. The Great Void possesses the art of gestation, which you can obtain within their Void God Ships. Can you understand it?"

When the Empress asked Xiao Yan to find Ding Yue, he already understood what she meant.

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue frowned, and with Xiao Yan, they moved swiftly and quickly arrived at a flat area where countless blood sacs were placed, and figures were among them.

"The life conceived by this evil magic has only a shell, no soul, and is of no use."

Ding Yue said, Xiao Yan looked at these blood sacs, wondering if this method would work if they wanted to nurture a child of the Primordial God.

The Queen also said that this method might not succeed, but it was just an attempt.

Immediately, the Primordial God clone materialized, and Xiao Yan took the crystal.

"Could we try to bring it into existence?"

Seeing the floating golden crystal in Xiao Yan's hand, Ding Yue hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.

"I'll give it a try, Young Master Xiao."

"This was once a very powerful race. Although the world it inhabits is now nearly destroyed, if its bloodline can be continued, more powerful beings can be born in the Divine Bliss."

Seeing Ding Yue's puzzled expression, Xiao Yan explained. After hearing this, Ding Yue nodded emphatically again. She understood that Xiao Yan would not do anything useless and was working hard for Shen Xi.
