Celestial Dragon Sword Venerable

"Goddess, the Divine Hall of Life cannot fall, and we must be the ones to control the Law of life. To restart the Forgotten Dust World, you are already shouldering far too much. You are destined to become a supreme existence, an Empress. The ants along your path—those lowly, wretched things—are not worthy of distracting you."

Ji Yuechan’s tone was calm, yet fervent.

Though her words were deferential, her tone carried a sharp edge. It was more than a reminder to Ji Yueqi; it held a faint trace of a threat.

"Yes, the scenery along the path is merely scenery. I know that. Besides, you are my Maid, but you are also my sister!"

Ji Yueqi said lightly.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuechan’s body trembled slightly, and she remained silent.

"But remember this: our Divine Hall of Life is noble and sublime. We are decisive and honorable; we must keep our promises. You promised to spare his life after harvesting the seeds! You yourself said a mere ant is not worth mentioning. If that’s the case, why would you use the supreme promise of the Divine Hall of Life to deceive such a lowly ant?

In that case, what separates us from those lowly ants?

At the very least, those ’lowly ants’ you look down upon were honest and kept their word.

Don’t you find that laughable?

Don’t you think that such behavior makes you even worse than an ant? That it makes *you* the lowly one? That you’ve even tarnished the reputation of our Divine Hall of Life?"

Every word from Ji Yueqi was a dagger to the heart.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuechan’s face turned deathly pale.

She was an arrogant woman, so arrogant that even when facing Ji Xing, she didn’t hesitate to kill him when she decided he had to die.

And he was a Venerable Level existence!

So in her eyes, what did killing a mere ant like Ye Tianling matter?

But she had forgotten the nobility of the Divine Hall of Life!

Just as Ji Yueqi had said, to scheme against an ant and then break a promise to it... Even if no one else in the world knew, would the Divine Hall of Life have any honor left?

"I... I just felt that those wretched ants are not qualified, nor are they worthy, of negotiating terms with us!"

Ji Yuechan’s tone softened, her voice losing some of its strength.

"Correct, they are unworthy and unqualified! But since you gave your word, since you made a promise, you must honor it! To deceive even a mere ant, and with such methods... This narrow perspective of yours is the real reason why you are merely a Maid, while I am destined to become the Empress!"

Ji Yueqi glanced at Ji Yuechan, her tone detached, tinged with a sigh.

She may have looked like a three or four-year-old child, but at that moment, her presence was extraordinarily imposing.

’Although she kept saying ’ant,’ Ye Tianling knew she never truly thought that way.’

’After all, what could have been more intimate or profound than the time they had spent together, entangled in that spatial rift?’

’If she wasn’t doing this for my sake, why would the Little Dragon Girl, Ji Yueqi, be saying any of this?’

’Standing up for me?’

’It’s not that the Little Dragon Girl didn’t want to stand up for me, but that she didn’t have the power to do so either!’

’If she tried to force the issue, it would only provoke Ji Yuechan into killing me on the spot.’

Ye Tianling understood all of this, but it didn’t stop the intense hatred he felt for Ji Yuechan.

"It’s... I was just worried... worried..."

Ji Yuechan glanced at Ye Tianling as she voiced her true worry: that Ji Yueqi had fallen in love with him.

"Worried that I’ve fallen in love with him? Perhaps my heart was stirred once, but that was before I fully awakened. Now, tell me, what do you think is more important: the Divine Hall of Life, the Forgotten Dust World, and my destiny as Empress? Or a single, mere ant?"

Ji Yueqi fell silent for a moment, her voice turning ice-cold.

In truth, she had spoken those words by stripping them of all her personal Emotions.

It was precisely because of this that Ye Tianling instantly sensed the Mechanical Heart Main Chip between his brows suddenly gain Emotions.

However, the main chip immediately restrained its aura, becoming even more concealed.

Ye Tianling didn’t dwell on it. He maintained the anger and Void Spirit state in his heart, his gaze remaining icy.

His cold, indifferent gaze swept over both Ji Yuechan and Ji Yueqi.

It was a look that showed his extreme disappointment in Ji Yueqi’s words—a look that bordered on despair.

After hearing this, Ji Yuechan finally let out a sigh of relief, and the anxiety in her eyes at last faded away.

"It seems you have finally awakened completely, Goddess."

Ji Yuechan couldn’t hide her excitement. Her eyes, like crescent moons, sparkled with an intense Spiritual light and radiance.

But Ji Yueqi sighed. "If not for this disturbance, my revival would have been perfect. But this encounter has stirred up karmic ties. From now on, pay him no more mind. Let him fend for himself."

Ji Yueqi’s sigh left Ji Yuechan momentarily stunned.

’But on second thought, wasn’t it true?’

’She could have severed all ties directly. But because of her meddling, she had instead left the Goddess with a lingering emotional burden.’

’I should have just struck to kill! I was one step too slow!’

Ji Yuechan didn’t regret her decision to act, only that she hadn’t unleashed a fatal strike with overwhelming killing intent from the very beginning.

That look in her eyes made Ye Tianling’s own gaze turn even colder.

But he showed no killing intent, only profound indifference.

’If I showed killing intent now,’ he thought, ’given Ji Yuechan’s petty nature, she would surely find a way to kill me.’

Ye Tianling was confident he had trump cards to survive, but he also knew that for now, he was no match for Ji Yuechan.

Although Ji Yuechan felt a pang of regret, she was also immensely satisfied after hearing Ji Yueqi’s words.

Her ultimate goal was to ensure that Divine Lady Ji Yueqi could rise to power, completely unhindered.

Now that she had achieved this, what else was there to worry about?

Besides, with that ant Ye Tianling’s level of strength, surviving the independent Law and Ancestral Dao Killing Intent was already impossible, especially now that the Guardian Power of the Divine Descendant Ye Clan’s ’Azure Celestial Dominator Blood’ had been activated.

Evidently, Divine Lady Ji Yueqi had likely already come to the same conclusion.

But Divine Lady Ji Yueqi hadn’t mentioned this to ’that Ye Tianling,’ a fact that made Ji Yuechan immensely satisfied.

She was convinced that Yueqi Goddess had truly ’awakened’ and would now forever look down on this wretched ant, Ye Tianling, never giving him a second glance!

With that thought, Ji Yuechan almost immediately responded, "The Goddess is absolutely right. Letting a mere ant fend for himself should be the attitude of our Divine Hall of Life. And as for our promise, we have indeed fulfilled it!"

Hearing this, Ye Tianling couldn’t help but let out a cold snort. "If the Divine Hall of Life is so noble, why did you covet my Weapon? And you, Ji Yueqi! You’re so high and mighty, but didn’t you just take my Talent? You took my abilities, my bloodline, my Talent—you even snatched away my Divine Soldier! And you still have the gall to say you look down on me? I, Ye Tianling, must have been truly blind to love you so completely!"
