The ruthless empress was filled with emotion as she watched the scenes unfold on the screen.
This reminded her of her past.
Just like Huo Ling'er, she waited patiently in the mountain village for her brother's return.
Her eyes even welled up with tears:
"This scene actually reminded me of myself back then."
How similar it was! Back then, I, too, waited foolishly at the village entrance for his return, just like the Fire Mulberry Girl…
Unfortunately, he never returned.
As countless beings across the myriad realms marveled at the scene, the picture continued to play.
Shi Hao's return after being exiled to the imperial city.
When he returned, everything had changed!
Soldiers scattered, bows broken, bloodied and wounded, they returned home only to be condemned for their righteous cause.
Ten years of loneliness in this town, tears for a beautiful woman; a hundred battles fought, the sorrow of a valiant soldier.
The moonlight bathes her beautiful face, making her dance a sight to behold; dust settles on her frosty hair, which flutters in the air like a shadow.
It's pitiful that unrequited love has flowed away like water; when we meet again as strangers, who will decide our fate?
A somewhat lonely and forlorn young figure.
They were walking inside a pitch-black abyss.
Behind the boy was another group of children following him.
The older ones were over ten years old, while the younger ones looked only seven or eight.
The children were all dressed in shabby clothes, their animal skin garments torn and full of holes, their old clothes stained with countless bloodstains.
However, their eyes were filled with unwavering determination, showing no fear whatsoever, only an indomitable fighting spirit!
I don't know how long I walked.
Finally, Shi Hao led the group of children to a city.
When Shi Hao arrived at the foot of the city, he looked up.
It soars into the clouds, stretching as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.
That was the imperial pass, guarding against foreign lands across the nine heavens and ten earths!
You'll be checked before entering the city!
"No abnormalities found, he can be allowed to enter the pass."
The examination was completed quickly, and under the protection of the magic array, Shi Hao was found to be perfectly normal.
"We also need to bring them along."
Shi Hao pointed to the group of children behind him.
These ragged children were all silent, following quietly behind him.
But his eyes held unwavering determination!
"Who are they? Are they from another land? That probably won't do!"
"Their fathers were heroes; they are descendants of warriors, from that city in the sky."
"For so many years, it has stood in the way of foreign invaders..."
Shi Hao spoke with great emotion.
"Does that city still exist?"
"Are there still any living creatures inside?"
Clearly, many people in the Imperial Pass also know about that city!
"What proof do you have?" someone asked.
"Many of them, like me, have unique markings on their foreheads, indicating a shared bloodline!"
As Shi Hao spoke, he instructed the children to channel their magical power, causing runes to appear on their foreheads.
boom!
Soon, many children began to glow, and brilliant lines appeared on their foreheads.
It was as if it were burning with flames, pulsating and leaping.
"The Bloodline of Sin!"
[Descendants of sinful blood!]
"These people, these wicked souls, must not be allowed into the city!!"
Someone is roaring.
Those stationed atop the city wall saw several hundred people.
Those in charge, in particular, were shocked.
Some were even unwilling to let them into the city.
In their eyes, these are descendants of sinners!
Some people shook their heads, saying that this could not be allowed.
The boy, upon hearing the words "sin and blood," was naturally enraged and roared in anger!
[Shut up! Their ancestors stood guard at the front, fighting to the death to protect the heavens. If that counts as bloodshed, then what about the rest of you?]
I can say with certainty that they are all descendants of people with unparalleled achievements. Who decided on this bloodline of sin in the first place? This debt must be settled!
The appearance of these people.
This naturally alarmed the important figures in the city, and powerful figures like Meng Tianzheng rushed over.
Shi Hao then began to tell them about what had happened before.
He thought of these children's parents, ancestors, and so on, and felt it was too tragic.
These people, the children's parents and ancestors, guarded the front lines. As long as the city stood, the people lived; even if the city fell, the king would still be there.
They were meritorious officials with great achievements, and it's one thing that they remain unknown, but...
Now even their descendants, and even these poor children, are being defined as descendants of sinful blood, as remnants of evil.
The young man was not afraid of the important figure who had arrived, and quickly and simply gave a brief introduction to what had happened in the original imperial city.
Now, only the elderly, the weak, and the disabled remain, yet they still persevere. Who dares to call them descendants of sinners? Who dares to utter another word in their name?!
Shi Hao remained fearless even when facing many important figures.
He simply asked, "What do you mean?"
On the city wall, many people were also shocked and speechless.
"But what evidence is there?" someone whispered, raising a question.
"I believe!" Just then, Meng Tianzheng appeared, standing there as majestic as a mountain.
"Activate the bone mirror and shine it with divine light. If there are no abnormalities, invite them all in!"
Meng Tianzheng gave the order.
Shi Hao successfully entered the city!
"The Immortal King has returned from his burial grounds, silent for eternity, and is about to strike!!"
Shi Hao also told many people about the arrival of the Immortal King.
Soon, news of the impending attack by the Immortal King spread throughout the city.
None of the powerful figures in the city doubted the boy's words.
Because recently, the abyss has clearly been acting strangely.
Outside the city, towering figures stand day and night, like endless, dark mountains.
It blocked out the sun, creating a vast yet oppressive atmosphere that was extremely awe-inspiring.
People had a premonition.
Perhaps, this time, the world-ending war is truly unavoidable.
Born in this era, you have no way to avoid it; you can only take the initiative to confront it!
Everyone clenched their fists and watched silently.
Meanwhile, inside the Imperial Pass,
Because of Shi Hao's return.
Amidst the oppression, a cheer and a surge of excitement also emerged.
A group of young people and old acquaintances rushed over and surrounded Shi Hao, expressing their joy at his safe return.
The Moon Jade Rabbit put its arm around his shoulder, like a brother, and said, "Buddy, I made you worry for nothing!"
