Extra: The Dark Abyss Should Brighten Up (1/2)

The Taikoo Plain, under the thick night, is so majestic and lonely.

It has existed in the universe for an unknown number of years. This place is eternally dark and full of dangers. Even the strongest among the ancient creatures dare not go deep into it easily and are in awe.

The chariot pulled by seven phoenix-shaped ancient creatures drove by. Unknown creatures with overlord levels were lurking in the darkness, ready to attack.

Just listen to the soft hum of a woman in the chariot, which echoes through the wilderness for hundreds of thousands of miles.

"It's the Luanjia of Concubine Yuanshen!"

"I said that beings who can control the seven phoenixes are definitely not easy, but you don't believe it. Fortunately, I didn't take action, otherwise, it would have been a disaster."

…

Those overlord-level creatures were so frightened that they didn't dare to run away, and they knelt on the ground tremblingly.

It's too terrifying, that is the Yuanshen Concubine, the biggest supporter of ancient beings in the universe.

In the carriage, Zhang Ruochen said: "Not many years have passed since the Era War, and a new generation of strong men has risen in the Taigu Plain. Each generation has its own world, and each era has its grievances and hatreds. In their eyes, we are , I’m afraid he’s already an old guy!”

Yuan Sheng said coldly: "I will order people to beat and punish this group of daring madmen. The Emperor does not need to be acquainted with them."

Standing at Zhang Ruochen's current height, he already has his own understanding of good and evil, and said: "Good and evil are interdependent, and good and evil must coexist in the human heart. In this vast universe, every living thing is a predator. What is Right, what’s wrong?”

Yuan Sheng understood that Zhang Ruochen didn't care at all about good and evil and right and wrong at this level. He could already stand at a high position and look at it with the attitude of a bystander.

Zhang Ruochen smiled: "I now understand that if you want to be truly tolerant and generous, it must be because you don't take it seriously at all. Even if he wants to kill you, it will be like a leaf falling on your head. , a speck of dust falls on your shoulder, there will be no mood swings at all.”

"On the contrary, false tolerance and generosity will definitely make you terribly uncomfortable."

Ling Xi asked: "So?"

"Don't try to persuade others to be tolerant and generous! True tolerance and generosity must come from the heart. It must be that you are extremely strong and see all living beings as if you were seeing grass and trees."

Zhang Ruochen opened the car curtain, looked at the boundless wilderness, and said, "What a land of eternal darkness."

"We're used to the darkness."

After thinking about it, Yuan Sheng added: "But I'm not willing to live in darkness forever."

Zhang Ruochen nodded: "It's time for the dark abyss to become brighter!"

On the horizon, the brilliance emitted by the star Shiji illuminates the land for countless miles.

It is a ninth-level main star, which was transformed from the original body of Empress Shijie in her previous life. It is countless times larger and brighter than ordinary stars. Billions of stone tribes live on it.

It is suspended in the place where the Great Ming Mountain once stood, causing space distortion even in the ancient plains.

The ancestral divine light erupting from the Shiji God Star affects the surrounding world all the time.

This is the power of the ancestor, which can frighten all living creatures with just one force.

Gods must be cautious when they come here.

God kings and gods must behave themselves when they come.

"Why is she also on the Stone God Star?"

Yuan Sheng sensed Bai Qing'er's aura and became wary.

It is not an easy task to expel Empress Shiji and allow the twelve ancient tribes to regain control of the Dark Abyss. Because she knew very well that although Di Chen had supreme power, he would not abuse the power casually.

To manage the Six Paths Universe well, you must be as fair and just as possible, and your actions must be convincing to all living beings in the world.

Empress Shiji is the ancestor, and she made great contributions during the Era War and the establishment of the Six Paths. Most of the upper three clans in the hell world follow her lead. After Brahma Xin left, all the Ming soldiers and Ming generals of the Ming ancestor faction came under her banner.

Although the battle over the ownership of the Dark Abyss between the ancient creatures and Empress Shiji is decided by Di Chen, and Di Chen prefers the ancient creatures, if Bai Qing'er stands in the camp of Empress Shiji, this battle will undoubtedly be huge. variable.

When it comes to internal matters, Di Chen is definitely a reasonable person.

It depends on who makes more sense.

Lian Xi said: "The Shijie God Star was originally given to Bai Qing'er by Empress Shijie. Her divine world was completely integrated with the Shijie God Star, and the regular divine patterns had already been woven into the interior of the god star. She appeared here. , It’s not a surprise. It’s hard to say that Xing Huantian also wants to take a share of the benefits of the Dark Abyss.”

The Glass Temple is suspended above the Shiji God Star, and is worshiped by countless Stone Clan monks and underworld soldiers and underworld generals.

At this time, Empress Shiji had already left the seclusion and was waiting outside the temple to greet the chariot pulled by the seven phoenixes.

She was wearing a light blue dress, with three jade hairpins inserted between her temples and a bun. The red flower in the shape of a butterfly between her eyebrows was very bright. Her whole body was shrouded in fairy clouds, giving her an ethereal and pure aura.

Bai Qinger stood behind her.

Zhang Ruochen took the lead to step out of the chariot. He did not have the imperial power on his body, but had a handsome and carefree youthful feeling. He smiled and said: "I think back to that time, when I came to Liuli Temple for the first time. To see the empress, I had to take a shower and change clothes, and burn incense and wear a crown." , I can only see a figure through the bead curtain. Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago."

Empress Shiji, with her red lips and white teeth, and beautiful eyes as clear as water, said, "Isn't that right? I remember that the first time we met, the Emperor wrapped his body around me."

It has to be said that Empress Shiji is one of the few ancestors who can let go of her pride, and she also knows how to overcome strength with softness.

Knowing that Zhang Ruochen was not a good person, he naturally would not confront him head-on.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Fortunately, I kowtowed to the portrait of the queen at that time and was protected by the queen. Otherwise, I would not have been able to cultivate to the level I am today."

Niang Shiji bowed to Zhang Ruochen and said: "It is said that the Emperor of Heaven has a heart as broad as the universe. He even abolished the kneeling ceremony of the gods. I really admire him."

"The queen seems to have misunderstood. I didn't mean to ask you to kowtow. I was just reminiscing about the past."

But then Zhang Ruochen said: "Just like what happened in the Hundred Gardens of the Glazed Temple, it is still vivid in my mind and I can't forget it at all."

Niang Shiji certainly knew what Zhang Ruochen was referring to.

Back then, she, the Soul Mother, the Red Crow King, and the Corpse Nightmare surrounded and killed Zhang Ruochen in the Hundred Gardens, almost killing him.

Shiji Madam glanced at Lanxi and Yuansheng who followed closely, and then smiled and said: "The Great Emperor is still obsessed with the things in the Hundred Flowers Garden. At that time, you were asked to look, but you didn't look. Who can you blame? The clothes of the half-ancestor are easy to take off, but the true body of the ancestor is not so easy to see."

She pretended not to understand, and deliberately understood what Zhang Ruochen was referring to as "in the lake of the Hundred Flowers Garden, she took off her skirt, showing all her mystery and beauty, and asked him if he wanted to taste the softness of Shiji."

After answering in this way, Zhang Ruochen's aggressive verbal offensive became extremely charming and ambiguous.

"It's hard to say."

As the ancestor, Lady Shiji was so humble that Zhang Ruochen could not launch another offensive. He turned his gaze to Bai Qing'er, and his smile became more sincere: "Where is your sister? Didn't you bring her with you to teach her?"

The "sister" Zhang Ruochen mentioned was naturally the child born to Huang Tian and Yu Yao's reincarnation.

The child had long been taken to Goddess City by Bai Qing'er, who personally taught her the cultivation method.

Even though Bai Qing'er was facing Zhang Ruochen, her face was cold and indifferent: "I heard that the emperor was reveling in the Origin Temple every night, but I didn't expect that he was secretly watching my every move."

"How do you talk to the emperor?"

Zhang Ruochen knocked her on the head and said, "The emperor is getting married, and you are on the list of concubines. Go back to Xing Huantian and wait for the betrothal gifts from the Origin Temple. Do you still have elders in your family?"

Bai Qing'er touched her head that was hurt by Zhang Ruochen's knock, and said coldly: "Don't you know if there are still elders in my family?"

"How can there be no elders? What kind of talk is that? How about asking your senior brother to come back and be the witness?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Bai Qing'er's senior brother is a disciple of Corpse Nightmare, the old woodcutter Yuan Juren, the former owner of Xingtian Cliff.

Bai Qing'er said: "It's up to you."

"So you agree to marry?" Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.

"Can I say no?"

"No."

Bai Qing'er said: "The emperor is talking so much nonsense? In fact, it is not necessary to invite the eldest brother back. The queen is half my master. She taught me a lot of the Taoist methods of the Stone Clan and gave me the Shiji Divine Star. She can also be the witness."

Bai Qing'er is so smart that she knows how deep the water is in the Nine Palaces and Seventy-two Gardens of the Origin Temple. If you enter it, there will be countless open and secret struggles.

Originally, she and Ji Fanxin had the best friendship and could form an alliance with each other.

Who knew that Ji Fanxin's origin was so terrifying and had already left. Since marrying into the Origin Temple is inevitable, she naturally has to find help again.

The ancestor of the Shiji Queen is undoubtedly an excellent candidate.

Coincidentally, the Shiji Queen also needs her help to overcome today's difficulties, and the two of them naturally hit it off.

"Don't get involved in the grudges between me and the queen." Zhang Ruochen glared at Bai Qing'er, then looked at the stunning face of the queen Shi Ji and said, "I'm not an unreasonable person, right? We will settle the accounts between the two of us one by one."

The queen Shi Ji knew Zhang Ruochen and knew that if he really came with murderous intentions, he would never waste a word with her here. Therefore, she had some confidence in her heart and smiled, "Yes, there are grudges, love and hatred. Why don't we settle the accounts in the palace first?"

In the Hundred Flowers Garden of the Glazed Temple, the Demon Butterfly Princess had already led a group of Skyfire Demon Butterflies and prepared nectar and herbal tea, all of which were freshly picked.

Sitting by the lake, the sound of the piano and flute came into my ears.

After absorbing a large amount of Tianshi Wuzhong Mountains and God Realm materials, the Hundred Flowers Garden has become a transcendent top world. Obviously, Lady Shiji wanted to sacrifice it to become her own finite ancestral world, so as to restore the ancestor's cultivation and combat power.

Yuan Sheng saw Zhang Ruochen and Bai Qing'er sitting together and laughing, like a boy and girl who were in love, and was afraid that he would be bewitched and forget the main business, so he reminded him: "Emperor! Is this account still due?"

"Yes, of course it is."

Zhang Ruochen waved his hand and asked the women of the Skyfire Demon Butterfly Clan to retreat. He said seriously: "Shiji, you are the ancestor, and this emperor will give you the dignity you deserve. Now there are no outsiders, tell me, how do you plan to punish yourself?"

Lady Shiji stopped playing the piano: "Thank you for your kindness, your emperor, and gave me the opportunity to choose the way of punishment. This shows that your emperor does not regard me as an outsider."

Yuan Sheng snorted: "The emperor did not say that."

"Doesn't the Yuanshen Concubine want me to leave the Dark Abyss? Sure!"

Empress Shi Ji stood up and walked over slowly, her light blue skirt hanging on the ground, and continued: "When the six paths first opened, the universe was very unstable. Only the ancestors could support one path alone, so I came to the ancient path to support it. This world has been established. Now that the six realms are stable, I am no longer needed. It is indeed time for me to leave."

Everyone could hear the resentment in her voice.

Empress Shi Ji stood three steps away from Zhang Ruochen and bowed in salute: "If the emperor feels that my achievements in the Era War are not enough, I am willing to be the outpost of the Tomahawk Galaxy and immediately go to the Virgo Super Galaxy Sea to continue to make up for my faults. "

Zhang Ruochen said: "What a move to retreat to advance! If I let you go, wouldn't it mean that the dragon returns to the sea from now on and is no longer bound? Are you punishing yourself? You are clearly rewarding yourself."

Empress Shi Ji told the whole story: "The main reason is that Kui He misses her mother and has already followed the path Master Can Deng told her to go to the Virgo Super Galaxy Sea. I am very worried about her safety."

Zhang Ruochen said: "Did you tell her that road on purpose?"

"I never told her where that road was." Empress Shiji said.

Zhang Ruochen said: "But you must have told her that there is such a way. Sui He is so smart. As long as he knows the situation outside and knows that there is such a way, he can naturally find it through some clues."

"She guessed it herself."

Every word of Empress Shiji is true, but all this is indeed what she wants to see. Only in this way can she have reason to leave the Tomahawk Galaxy.

Zhang Ruochen stared at her, his serious expression quickly dissipated, and said with a smile: "No one can control that girl Tuihe. She wants to go out to find the Brahma Heart, which is good. Children need experience themselves, and Kong Le doesn't do the same. Walked out?"

Zhang Ruochen has confidence in Ji Fanxin's spiritual attainments. As long as Sui He walks out of the battle axe cavity, she will definitely sense it and take care of him personally.

Before Empress Shi Ji could speak again, Zhang Ruochen said again: "Shi Ji, you want to go out so much. After you go out, will you obey my orders? Or follow the orders of Brahma Xin? Or obey the orders of Ming Zu?"

This is a gift proposition!

Empress Shiji knew that Zhang Ruochen had completely blocked her way to leave.

One conspiracy resulted in eternal distrust.

Empress Shiji's first life was Su Zilian of the Sky Fox Clan. She was naturally very feminine and knew very well what it means to overcome strength with softness. She no longer mentioned the matter of leaving the Tomahawk Galaxy, but instead said softly: "I once said However, if the girl is married to Di Chen, then I also belong to Di Chen. How about I become a concubine when I take a concubine? "

Bai Qing'er, Yuan Sheng, and Lian Xi were all shocked.

I originally thought that as the ancestor, Empress Shi Ji would only make excuses with Zhang Ruochen, but when she said these words, why did she seem to be serious?

Which man can withstand such a test?

Beyond the predictions of the women present, Zhang Ruochen lost all his previous cynical attitude and said seriously: "Is the child a bargaining chip used to build trust? If we really have an heir, should I control you or you control me?"

Bai Qinger understood instantly.

After giving birth to a child, he caught Zhang Ruochen's weakness. Empress Shiji may not value family ties that much, and her descendants cannot restrain an ancestor like her at all.

Zhang Ruochen held his palm upward, a jade ruler appeared in his hand, and said: "Forget it, I don't know how to punish myself, I'll punish you myself! How about ten slaps on the palm of your hand?"

Empress Shiji was startled for a moment, then understood and smiled.

I think this is Zhang Ruochen's bad taste.

Raise it high and put it down gently. After all, this emperor was not a mean and ungrateful person. He had a broad mind that few people in the world could match.

Empress Shiji pretended to be coy and stretched out a flawless jade hand. She didn't have the majesty that an ancestor should have, and instead looked like a concubine who had made a mistake.

"Bang!"

Yuan Sheng slapped the table and stood up, feeling that it was too cheap for Empress Shi Ji, and it was not in line with her expectations.

Before Yuan Sheng could speak, Zhang Ruochen handed over the jade ruler and said, "Yuan Sheng, come and fight!"

Yuan Sheng's overwhelming anger subsided for the most part in an instant, and he took the jade ruler at a loss.

Beating the heart of an ancestor?

What is this all about?

Yuan Sheng looked at Empress Shi Ji who was close at hand and was about to receive the punishment, and couldn't make a move at all. So what if he was hit, the other party was the ancestor, it was neither painful nor itchy, and there was no harm at all.

On the contrary, her dignity will be damaged, and she will be hated by Empress Shi Ji.

"I won't fight! I just ask her to leave the Taikoo Way and return the Dark Abyss to the Twelve Taikoo Clans." Yuan Sheng threw the jade ruler back, feeling that Zhang Ruochen just wanted to watch a show and was not cooperating with him!

"I want to avenge the ancient creatures, but you don't want to give me a chance. This jade ruler contains the power that makes the ancestors scream when they touch it. If you hit it, it will hurt terribly." Zhang Ruochen said.

Empress Shi Ji's expression changed slightly and she retracted her hand.

"Yeah?"

Yuan Sheng quickly picked up the jade ruler again, but after touching Empress Shiji's eyes, he began to worry about the identity and cultivation of her ancestor.

"Forget it, just write these ten down first. You can hit them whenever you want. Shi Ji, do you understand?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Of course, Empress Shiji knew that her hatred for the ancient creatures made it extremely difficult for Zhang Ruochen to handle, so she nodded her head very wisely: "I understand, as long as Concubine Yuanshen raises the jade ruler in her hand, I will never resist and let her beat her. Just take it out ten times.”

Yuan Sheng grabbed the jade ruler in his hand and raised his chin slightly.

I don’t know why, but not fighting makes me feel happier. What he held in his hand didn't look like a ruler, but more like a knife that could kill Shi Ji at any time.

As long as he takes action, an ancestor must accept the punishment honestly.

Zhang Ruochen stood up, observed the world where the Baiyuan Garden Small World was located, and sighed: "You have collected a lot of the endless mountains and divine realm materials. Do you want to reunite the infinite ancestral realm?"

Empress Shiji said: "This is an indispensable step if we want to restore our cultivation and combat power. Di Chen has the great magical power to create matter and the rules of heaven and earth. If we can help each other, we will surely achieve the Ancestral Realm."

Zhang Ruochen snorted coldly: "Help you gather the ancestral realm? Are you accepting punishment or reward?"

"I've already been punished, why can't I ask for a reward?" Empress Shiji said with a smile.

Zhang Ruochen said: "Punishment? Ten palms, just to punish the grudge between you and me. I can count you meritorious, ignore the past grudges, and gently get over it. But this debt you owe to the twelve ancient tribes, I I have to seek justice for Concubine Yuanshen.”

The remaining resentment in Yuan Sheng's heart disappeared. It turned out that the emperor still cared about her and had always been on her side.

"The Ancestral Realm that you, the founder of the Proof, have condensed, has taken away the material of the Abyss of Darkness. I am using the Ancestral Realm that you are currently condensing to return to the Abyss of Darkness. Are you convinced?" Zhang Ruochen said.

Empress Shiji's eyes changed. She stared into Zhang Ruochen's eyes and felt the coldness in his eyes. She didn't dare to say the word "no" at all.

"Wow!"

Zhang Ruochen waved his arm, and the ancestral divine light flew out. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and dazzling light erupted from the cracks.

“It’s time for the world of darkness to become brighter!”

"The light returns and the stars shine forever."

After the earth beneath his feet shattered, all the matter flew out, and then quickly condensed into stars, turning into a brilliant starry sky.

Day and night appeared in many places on the Taikoo Road.

The light of day comes from the movement of stars.

The dark energy of the night comes from the earth itself.

This is Zhang Ruochen's current state of cultivation. He can follow his words, change the world with one thought, and create the sea of ​​stars with one word.

Empress Shiji, who had lost all the material in the Ancestral Realm, looked ashen, but she did not dare to have an attack at all.

Yuan Sheng looked at the boundless starry sky and the ever-bright earth, with tears streaming down his face. He hugged Zhang Ruochen's arm tightly and rested his cheek on his shoulder. He was not cold and heroic at all, and became a little bit clingy. .

I knew that this guy was reliable and that I could rely on him for the future.

Zhang Ruochen stared at Empress Shiji and said, "If you want to make up for your mistakes, go and guard the Beize Great Wall! The people from Yuwai have already arrived, and we must have our ancestors on the front line."

Even Yuan Sheng felt that Zhang Ruochen was too cruel to Empress Shijie. After all, it was Empress Shijie who supported the ancient path at the critical moment. Otherwise, the Six Paths Universe would not have been opened up, and a large number of catastrophes might have destroyed the entire world.

The Era War is extremely dangerous. It can be said that without any of the ancestors, they cannot win!

Bai Qing'er spoke for Empress Shiji and said: "It's too dangerous! If the Yuwai monks dare to be so blatant, there must be an ancestor-level existence coming. The empress' vitality is greatly damaged and her realm has almost fallen. How can she be their opponent? Please Emperor Let’s find another candidate!”

"I told you not to interfere in this matter. Go back and prepare for the wedding."

Zhang Ruochen was stern and strong, not allowing anyone to act presumptuously in front of him, and sent Bai Qing'er and Shi Ji Shenxing away with a wave of his hand.

In an instant, Bai Qing'er and Shiji Shenxing appeared together in Xinghuantian, which was countless trillions of miles away.

"The sudden appearance of the sea of ​​​​stars will definitely make the twelve ancient tribes panic. You go and comfort them and tell them the truth." Zhang Ruochen patted Yuan Sheng's vest.

Yuan Sheng wiped away his tears and nodded gently. He listened to Zhang Ruochen's words. Before leaving, he looked at Empress Shi Ji and saw that she was as lonely as if she had lost her soul. Finally, he couldn't bear it and said, "We are settled!"

These words also told Zhang Ruochen that there was no need to continue punishing Empress Shiji.

Seeing Yuan Sheng disappear at the end of the starry sky, Zhang Ruochen gave up his sternness and smiled: "This silly girl is too kind! Shi Ji, you should learn from it. You'd better take care of the ancient creatures in the future, and you can make up for yourself. ’s fault.”

"I have to survive the Beize Great Wall first." Empress Shiji said.

Zhang Ruochen turned around and looked into her cold eyes: "Do you really think that I asked you to guard the Beize Great Wall because I wanted to kill someone with a knife and let you die?"

Empress Shiji heard the elegant meaning of the strings and began to think about it, saying, "The Emperor has other profound meanings?"

"The Great Wall of Beize stretches across the universe. In the extremely long time ago, it was able to resist the armies from outside the universe. How extraordinary is it?" Zhang Ruochen put his hands behind his back and pointed: "You use this small world of a hundred gardens to forge the entire ancestral world. Even if it is done, it will be It's not vulnerable to a single blow. Why not use it from the Great Wall of Beizawa?"

Empress Shiji's wonderful eyes suddenly brightened up, she took the initiative to snuggle into Zhang Ruochen's arms, and whispered softly: "So, the emperor will not let me die, but in the name of guarding the Great Wall of Beize, recast it The Ancestral Realm.”

Zhang Ruochen did not refuse her embrace. He put his hands on her slender waist and belly, smelling the fragrance in her hair: "Any ancestor is a precious treasure of the Six Paths Universe and has irreplaceable value. , how could I let you die? Not only would I not, but I would also help you restore your cultivation, and even make it stronger."

"But as for Yuan Sheng, I have to give her and the twelve ancient clans an explanation."

Only Lan Xi was present.

She was a little confused, and felt that Zhang Ruochen's methods were getting more and more sophisticated, and he was quite adept at handling the conflicts between the concubines. Even Bai Qing'er, who was smart, was kept in the dark.

And the emperor's hands had slipped into the light blue skirt of Madam Shi Ji without knowing when. The two were discussing something in a low voice, and their faces and lips were getting closer and closer.

...

This chapter is late, but the next one will definitely be early.
