Chapter 224: Death of Apep
While Zhu Yuncheng was thinking, the battle on the other side had reached its climax. The rainforest, lakes and land that Biapep had originally created using the Creation Field were now all covered by the Emperor's rocks. The white clouds in the sky also disappeared without a trace. The scorching sun scorched the earth, and the temperature suddenly rose to over 100 degrees.
With the situation like this, Apep showed signs of fatigue, but she gritted her teeth and insisted on fighting with the Emperor, refusing to surrender or retreat.
The emperor had no intention of persuading them to surrender, and he continued to attack ruthlessly. Countless rock spears fell down, and even though Apep dodged frantically, he was still hit by several rock spears and was nailed to the ground.
The rock element was powerful and was madly devouring Apep's flesh and blood, trying to turn her into a sculpture.
At this point, Apep had no thought of struggling. She desperately opened her eyes and looked at the land covered with rocks. This land was once a lush rainforest, where all kinds of elemental life lived. They played and sang day and night, praising the kindness of the Grass Dragon King and the greatness of the Dragon God (Nibelung).
At that time, life was so beautiful, but later, justice came. It said, you seven dragon kings and your leader have occupied too much of Teyvat's power, causing Teyvat to fall into the eternal abyss. I am here to save you, and the first step is to hand over your power.
The eight of them were unwilling to do so, so a fierce battle ensued. Heavenly Law was too powerful, and one person was able to overwhelm the eight Dragon Kings and Dragon Gods. They struggled for forty years but were ultimately defeated.
The proud body of the Rock Dragon was shattered, the Water Dragon was trapped and almost dried up, the Thunder Dragon was the first to surrender, the Fire Dragon would rather die than surrender, the Ice Dragon, the Wind Dragon, and several good friends back then, fell one by one.
Lord Dragon God was unwilling to give in, so he left Teyvatar, assimilated with the power of the abyss outside, and returned to Teyvat with his army. The Thunder Dragon King was the first to jump out to oppose him. The Water Dragon, the Ice Dragon, and the Wind Dragon chose to remain silent. Only he stood firmly by Lord Dragon God's side.
This time, Lord Dragon God became much more powerful than before, but he was alone with him, and was eventually defeated by Heaven's Law and disappeared without a trace.
Teyvat was almost destroyed. Heaven sent down long spikes to barely protect Teyvat, which was about to collapse. However, this also turned her territory from the original rainforest into a desert, causing her people to die in despair due to the high temperature and lack of water.
Do you hate the law of nature? Yes, I hate it!
But what can I do? The law of nature is supreme, and I am definitely no match for it. Only forbidden knowledge can give me a chance.
Zhu Yuncheng said that she thought forbidden knowledge would not pollute herself, but she knew clearly how terrible forbidden knowledge was, so what could she do?
This is what it means to quench thirst with poison.
Apep was unwilling to live in Teyvat ruled by the law of nature. His so-called pursuit of forbidden knowledge was nothing more than a pursuit of death.
And now, Apep is finally going to die.
She slowly closed her eyes, as if returning to the distant past, the era when elemental life dominated Teyvat.
Zhu Yuncheng looked at Apep, who had turned into a dead rock sculpture, and felt complicated. He didn't know what impact Apep's death would have on the future.
The Emperor turned around and came to Zhu Yuncheng: "Let's go, Yongle, let's go back."
Zhu Yuncheng nodded subconsciously, and then asked curiously: "Emperor, when did you gain control of such power?"
"It was when you were about to go on an overseas expedition." The Emperor explained, "At that time, I saw your ambition to unify Teyvat. Because I knew your character, I did not try to dissuade you. I just started thinking about how to become stronger so that I could stand up for you when you were in danger."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuncheng's face turned red with embarrassment. He remembered that he had complained in his heart before that his father would retire early and enjoy a leisurely life because of him. However, instead of doing so, his father was only thinking about how to solve the difficulties he encountered.
At this moment, Zhu Yuncheng always felt that the old man was like his real grandfather in his previous life. His grandfather relied on his hard work in farming in his early years to send his father, uncle and other four members to college. After they got married, they did not enjoy their lives. They got up early and came back late every day to do some small business and saved the money they earned. His father and uncle tried to persuade him to enjoy his life, but his grandfather just laughed it off.
Later, my uncle's family went bankrupt because of their business and owed more than one million yuan in foreign debt. Just when my father and two other uncles were at a loss as they could not raise enough money, my grandfather quietly took out more than 100,000 yuan to make up for the debt.
This hundred thousand was saved by him through working hard from dawn to dusk for more than ten years!
"I, your father, have known since you were little that you four are restless and always want to do something earth-shattering. But it's not that easy to accomplish something big. Look, if I hadn't paid for it today, you would be worried to death. How can you still let me enjoy the life? I can still clean up your mess now, so you can be happy. It will be difficult in a few years if no one cleans up your mess!"
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuncheng's eyes turned red: "Emperor!"
The emperor looked at Zhu Yuncheng, a look of doubt flashed across his face, then he reached out and touched the Guili King who was as tall as himself. "Don't worry, with me in your hands, you can still do it with confidence. I know that although you have the ambition to unify Teyvat, you care more about the people's livelihood."
Zhu Yuncheng burst into tears.
----
Guili, the palace of the human king.
Ganyu was like an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth continuously - she had been doing this for the entire day, and she had been doing this since she came back from the Emperor.
As they walked, Gan Yu suddenly looked up at the sky outside and prayed in her heart: "Emperor, please bless me and let my senior brother come back safely."
Suddenly, Ganyu felt something in her heart. She opened her eyes and looked towards the direction of Xumi.
Gradually, two figures appeared, and Ganyu's eyes were full of anticipation.
The blurry figures gradually became clear, and they were Zhu Yuncheng and Emperor Jun.
"Brother!"
Ganyu shouted and waved.
Zhu Yuncheng saw Ganyu waving at him from afar and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
"You should thank Ganyu. It was she who begged me to save you. If it weren't for her, you would have been in great danger in this battle."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuncheng quietly looked at Gan Yu who was waving at him, his eyes full of emotion.
How can a husband ask for such a wife!
He immediately rushed down and held Ganyu in his arms: "Ganyu, I'm back!"
Gan Yu happily put her face against Zhu Yuncheng's chest: "Brother, welcome back!"
Just when Guili was rejoicing, far away from Inazuma, in the bottomless dark sea, a huge black dragon raised its head and looked coldly in the direction of Guili.
"Kill my subordinates and you will live forever. We will fight to the death."
