Pushing the window to see the moon, the water of the Taiye pool is sparkling, and you sleep soundly in the night.

Xuanyuan Demon Lord and Ji Chengche stood side by side in front of the window, and the noisy cries of counterinsurgency soldiers could be heard outside from time to time.

"This moonlight is beautiful. ”

After being silent for a long time, Xuanyuan Demon Lord suddenly came out with such an incoherent sentence.

"Your master, I'm afraid you won't be able to see the moonlight. ”

Ji Chengche was stunned and turned to look at Xuanyuan Demon Lord, not understanding why she suddenly mentioned Mr. Big.

Xuanyuan Demon Lord didn't look at him, her eyes stared at the faint pool of water outside the window, and said softly: "Chengqing, do you think it is difficult to love someone?"

Ji Cheng's heart moved, and asked, "Grandma, are you talking about my master?"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord was noncommittal, and said calmly: "Do you know what I want to do the most in my life?"

Without waiting for Ji Chengche to answer, she shook her head and asked herself: "You can't guess, no one can guess." It's not to revive Great Qin, nor to sanctify the emperor, what I want to do most is to slaughter Mr. Da with my own hands, and then kill myself in front of him. ”

Ji Chengche was taken aback and exclaimed, "Grandma!"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord's eyes showed a hint of ridicule, and he said hesitantly, "What, it scared you?"

Ji Chengche smiled bitterly: "I can't keep up with your thoughts. ”

Xuanyuan Demon Lord smiled to himself and said, "That's because you don't understand. Do you know why I took Wang Rou as an apprentice back then?"

Ji Chengche said distressedly: "Grandma, what's wrong with you today, why are you asking some weird questions?"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord ignored him and said, "Just because I want to know how she will treat you when she grows up, and how you should treat her? Don't forget, how did her father, Wang Tuobei, die." ”

Ji's clear body shook, and an indescribable feeling surged in his heart, and he asked, "Now you know?"

"That stupid girl, how could she be so stupid. Xuanyuan Demon Lord sighed and said, "I'm not as good as her." ”

This was the first time Ji Chengche heard his grandmother sigh in front of him, but what was even more shocking than this was that he finally woke up to the bitterness and depression behind those words.

He couldn't help but ask, "If you had to do it all over again, would you make the same choice?"

"Yes. The Demon Lord replied categorically, "Because I have no choice. ”

Ji Chengche was silent for a moment, and suddenly for the first time felt that the responsibility and burden on his grandmother's shoulders were too heavy and heavy? For a long time, he had never really understood his grandmother, and he always wishfully felt that she was the most powerful and powerful woman in the world, but he never thought that she would be old, powerless, painful, and lonely......

It has always been his grandmother who has taken care of him, but he has never realized it, he has never been grateful, and he has even drawn a knife against him.

A strong sense of guilt arose, and he opened his mouth and said, "Grandma-"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord waved his hand and said: "I know what you want to say, remember, I, the descendant of the Xuanyuan clan, will never twist and pinch and cry." ”

Ji Chengche defended: "Who said I squirmed and cried?"

"Okay, then listen to me. I didn't have a choice then, but now I have. ”

Xuanyuan Demon Lord turned his head to look at Ji Chengqing, and said slowly: "I chose you!"

"Me?" Ji Chengche vaguely understood, and looked at Xuanyuan Demon Lord in astonishment.

Xuanyuan Demon Lord nodded and said, "That's right, this is my choice. Ten years ago, when I handed over the Fetal Yuan Divine Sword to you, I began to wait for this day to come. Clear, I'm going to hand over the demons to you. ”

Ji Chengche was startled and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by the Xuanyuan Demon Monarch and said: "I have carried the past decades, and it will be up to you for the next few decades! Don't tell me what kind of bullshit the prince of the Han Dynasty is the regent of Great Chu, let alone your bastard master! You swore that you would promise me to do one thing." Now, it's time for you to fulfill your vows!"

Ji Chengche heard that one head was bigger than ten, and he was caught off guard and said, "I have never had the idea of taking over the demon clan. ”

Xuanyuan Demon Lord said coldly: "I didn't have it back then. ”

Ji Chengche was silent, but Xuanyuan Demon Lord didn't let him go, and said sharply: "I didn't have a choice back then, but now you have no choice!"

Ji Chengche struggled: "Why don't I have a choice?"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord said, "Because I'm going to the Immortal Land." I'm going to find Yu Tianze, it's too late......"

She paused, and said in a deeper and deeper voice, "Maybe it's too late, but I'm going to go after all." ”

Ji Chengche was stunned, he didn't expect that what he heard would be such an answer.

Xuanyuan Demon Lord stared at Ji Chengqing, she was waiting for his answer.

Ji Chengche looked at Xuanyuan Demon Lord's eyes, he believed that his grandmother had not deceived herself at least this time, she really planned to leave and go to the final destination of every Metaverse Sage.

Perhaps, this is the only thing she desires to do in her life, but fortunately it is not too late, but I hope it will be in time.

Ji Chengche couldn't help but think of Granny Shang, who met on the Northern Wilderness Ice Plain that year, and she was looking for the witch saint Tang Yu, who had been missing for many years. If it weren't for the chance to meet her, she would probably have broken into the Skyscraper Ice Falls desperately, even if she knew that there was death and no life.

Life is the same Qiu, death is the same hole.

From Xiang Yi, Concubine Yu, to Granny Shang, Tang Yu, and then to the grandmother in front of you, let you be the emperor and the peerless sage, you have seen thousands of prosperity in the world and tasted thousands of vicissitudes in the world, and in the end, the person who asks for it is only these six words.

The so-called thousands of miles of rivers and mountains through the ages, in the end, are just comments in the mouths of later generations.

Perhaps what they want most is nothing more than holding the hand of their son, nothing more than growing old with their son, but they can't ask for it.

Ji Cheng's mind was leisurely, and he didn't feel stupid.

"Have you thought about it?" asked the Demon Lord Xuanyuan.

Ji Chengche Huo Ran woke up and came back to his senses and said, "You really decided to let go of everything, including the dream of recovering the country of tens of thousands of demon clansmen and Great Qin who were scattered all over the Metaverse?"

"What if I can't let go, what if I don't let go? I just want to do something I love before I leave this world. ”

Xuanyuan Demon Lord shook his head and said, "As for the revival of tens of millions of clansmen and Great Qin, you will do better than me." ”

Ji Chengche didn't have the confidence of Xuanyuan Demon Lord, except for the Dragon Boat Festival, he hadn't even seen any other powerful figures of the current demon clan, if he wanted to make these unruly clan giants happy and sincere with just a piece of will from his grandmother, it would be too naïve.

Unexpectedly, Xuanyuan Demon Lord's next words surprised Ji Chengche even more-

"You're worried that Yu Tian will be disappointed when you take over the demon race, so you don't have to. Do you think that he will not know the thoughts I have put into you all these years? He took you all over the world and taught you how to govern the world and how to command the army, just to make you a peaceful and stable prince of the great Han Dynasty? You underestimate his mind-set pattern too much!"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord sneered, "Few people know that he is the driving force behind the battle of sealing demons. From the Ten Holy Wars of Taigu Mountain to Ji Tianquan's rise in the north, Xiang Yixing's rise in the south, until the defeat of the demon clan and the retreat of the southern wilderness, and the rule of Chu and Han across the mountains, all of them were planned by Yu Tianze!"

"So you hated him to the core?"

"Why should I hate him? Even without him, after thousands of years of rule, Great Qin would have been rotten internally, and it would be impossible to escape the fate of overthrowing the country. However, the post-war pattern planned by Yu Tian also retained the last bit of vitality for my demon clan in the Southern Wilderness. Otherwise, it could have ended even worse. ”

The Xuanyuan Demon Lord replied, "It's ridiculous that the picture of the prosperous world that he worked so hard to sketch backfired. Losing the threat of the demons, the two clans of immortals and witches began to fight again, and sooner or later there would be a battle. No matter which side wins, it is nothing more than a return to the old path of a thousand years ago, so what does Yu Tian want?"

Ji Chengche nodded silently, and had to admit that Xuanyuan Demon Monarch hit the nail on the head. It is precisely because of this that Mr. Big secretly created the Tianhe Alliance, hoping to realize the dream of universal harmony in another way, but this road is also full of thorns and long periods.

"So he put his expectations on you and Lin Yin, and he won't even object to you taking over the Demon Clan. He did this in the hope that you could open up a new path, otherwise there would be a battle in the Metaverse more than ten years later, and the tragedy would never be less than the Demon Sealing War twenty years ago!"

Xuanyuan Demon Monarch continued: "You are the prince of the Great Han, the bloodline descendant of the Demon Clan, and you have a deep relationship with the Great Chu, plus your relationship with the Dragon Clan and the Yu Clan, who don't you pick this burden to?!"

Ji Cheng smiled calmly, did not comment and refuted, and said, "I'm thinking, if my mother is still alive, what will she want me to do?"

He looked up at the moon, as if the jagged shadows on the moon were the dancing figures of his mother, distant and vague but clear and close in front of him.

With the dignity of the princess of the demon clan, she entered the Han Palace as a concubine, and forbearance taught Xiang Yi I to regret - her mother had already given her answer.

Ji Chengche gritted his teeth and said word for word: "I promise you!"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord smiled, she seemed to smile so comfortably and so relieved for the first time in decades.

She handed a large seal wrapped in black satin to Ji Chengqing's hand and said, "It's a pity that I can't give you a grand enthronement ceremony." ”

Ji Chengche took the heavy heirloom jade seal with both hands, and a particularly wonderful feeling was born in his heart.

This jade seal, my grandmother used it, my great-grandfather Xuanyuan Kunlun used it, and the ancestors of the Xuanyuan clan also used it to kill the world and decide the world.

Now, the power symbolized by this jade seal is not what it used to be, but it will not diminish its weight in the slightest.

Instead, it gets heavier.

This is a kind of inheritance, a kind of responsibility, and it is finally up to him to shoulder it today.

No matter what he thought before, how many surprises and contradictions, the moment he received the jade seal of the country, Ji Cheng's heart seemed to have experienced a magical nirvana.

He knelt down slowly, raised his hands to hold up the jade seal of the country, and said in a deep voice: "Clarity will live up to the trust!"

Xuanyuan Demon Lord turned his head away, not letting Ji Chengche see her eyes at the moment, and only said silently in his heart: "Lingxi, don't hate me." You and Cheng Che are both so sensible, but why were you born in the emperor's family? You are tired of walking this road, and I am also tired, I hope Cheng Che can walk better and more steadily than us, and open a way for my demon clan to live and live......"
