I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch
Chapter 593 - 593: 561. Welcome back, Your Majesty!

"Woooom—!!"

At the moment the divine eyes opened, it was as if the sky dome itself awakened, golden divine energy instantly purifying the expanse of ten thousand miles.

The universe trembled!

Countless ancient runes danced joyfully in the endless divine ranks, as if streaks of golden mist descended from above and floated in the void.

It was the World Law celebrating, welcoming the supreme return.

At this moment.

The three beings who had come to pay their respects were—

Pillar Country· Fu Leshi

Pillar Country· Merchant Duke

Apocalypse Knight Commander· Texius.

At that instant, these three beings simultaneously bowed their heads, knelt on one knee, and their grand divine sounds merged into one deep chorus—

Like a great bell resonating through the cosmos, they boomed with solemn might: "We welcome Your Majesty's holy return!"

Disi gazed into the far reaches of the Star Realm, those vertical divine pupils like the narrow sacred White Abyss, vast and desolate.

In fact, she had already awakened earlier but had spent the past few days browsing through the memories of her ninth life...

Logically speaking, the ninth life should be the main body, and as an extension of the main body's will, she had always been nothing more than a struggling residual spirit, fundamentally incapable of accessing the memories of the ninth life.

Yet upon leaving the Sealed Land that day, the main body, for some unknown reason, had voluntarily transferred the memories relating to the ninth life to her.

In those memories...

It was all unbearable to witness!

Apart from sleeping, daydreaming, journaling, and gazing into the distance, it was filled with the daily interactions with that singular Believer.

Often in mid-conversation, their lips would meet in dialogue, whispering and grazing against each other's – absolutely absurd!

Shockingly wanton!

What's more, the main body even repeatedly thought of violating that sole Believer, wholly casting aside the precepts of the Dragon God's Law.

It was simply unforgivable.

However... What was unexpected for the eighth life was the sensation of a feeling known as happiness overflowing from the main body, brimming with joy.

Happiness, this word was foreign to the Dragon God.

From the moment of consciousness, the Pale Empress had been in pursuit of that elusive ultimate; the emotion of happiness seemed to have been a thing of the remote past.

Or perhaps... had she never experienced what happiness was?

Naturally, she couldn't understand the thoughts and the roots of the emotions of the main body.

Why could it feel so happy?

Therefore, in order to understand the main body's thoughts, she didn't immediately wake up these past few days, instead, she continuously revisited the ninth life's memories, trying to adopt the perspective of the ninth life and experience its emotional trajectory.

She had initially planned to complete the review in one day, but feeling once was not enough to understand, she browsed it three more times.

Eventually, when the Apocalypse Knight Commander sensed the disturbance in the temple and approached the area, she had no choice but to awaken.

A flurry of thoughts flashed through her mind, and Disi cast a glance at Texius, who kneeled at the audience steps.

Her indifferent gaze then swept over Fu Leshi and the Merchant Duke.

In a deep and profound divine sound, she inquired: "Where are Great Lord Huang Ye, Gu Yi, and Xia Hounian?"

Texius glanced at the two distant figures and, seeing their silence, he felt compelled to speak, saying respectfully,

"Your Majesty, an anomaly occurred at Qitian Sacred Mountain. Great Lord Huang Ye is currently guarding Holy Mountain Town. As for Pillar Country Gu Yi and Xia Hounian, they have perished..."

"Hmm?"

The eighth life never expected, after a slumber of ten thousand years, that two of the Four Pillars of the Empire would be gone?

She glanced down at the middle-aged man in the black and gold divine robe below the divine ranks.

The person should be the second leader to take over Gu Yi's position, the new leader of the Fourth Pillar.

After recalling carefully, the Eighth Life remembered that this person was called Business, and he had once been a disciple under Pillar Country Gu Yi.

Next, Texius briefly talked about the civil war within the Empire, as well as the reasons behind the fall of the two Pillar Countries.

While she listened, her divine gaze looked across the Star Realm to the other side, her will rising from the temple and penetrating the Eternal Flow Sea, sweeping over fifty-one major regions in search of that presumptuous believer.

Obviously, this method was like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Indeed, she could project her will to any corner of the Empire at any time, but to precisely locate a person was still impossible.

Unless that person was carrying one of her Divine Objects.

Or, if Xia Feng were to come within ten major regions of her, she could accurately sense him through the Pale Seal.

Currently, there was no reaction from the Pale Seal, suggesting that Xia Feng was not within the range of the first ten major regions.

Unfortunately, due to some reasons, she was temporarily unable to leave the Apocalypse Temple.

Finding Xia Feng would not be an easy task.

However, luckily, the Apocalypse Knights were her eyes, capable of extending the search range to the entire Empire through the Apocalypse Knights.

Amidst her contemplation, the Eighth Life cast her gaze upon all the Apocalypse Knights.

She should not have looked, for upon doing so, a figure too familiar to be mistaken caught her icy divine gaze.

...

Eternal Flow Sea Domain, Regions 18~19

Imperial Star Iron, Carriage 129.

Xia Feng sat by the window, observing the movements of the outside Apocalypse Knight.

Jing Jiu and Jin Jili appeared to have said something, then turned and flew back towards the previous carriage.

What was odd was that the other party suddenly halted mid-flight, looking up to the east with shock in his eyes.

What could possibly shock such a high-ranking Venerate Four figure? Xia Feng pondered in curiosity.

"Mr. Feng, I have a question."

At the same moment, Cha Naixue suddenly spoke, her voice clear.

"Hmm?" Feng Jianyi, who was always on alert and closely monitoring their surroundings, turned around, "Please ask."

"Comparing the Collapsed Stone Plate to one's life should not be a difficult choice. So why don't you hand over the Collapsed Stone Plate to the Empire?"

Cha Naixue's purple eyes were puzzled, "That way, you would gain wealth and honor, and your daughter wouldn't have to live a fugitive life with you, right?"

Feng Jianyi fell silent for a moment before nodding: "Logically speaking, indeed that's the case. As long as I hand it over to the Empire, no matter whether they want to destroy the Collapsed Stone Plate or use it to greatly advance Spirit Science, it would be beneficial for the Empire."

Hearing their conversation, Xia Feng also listened attentively.

"But what if I told you, if I once handed over the Collapsed Stone Plate to the Empire's higher-ups, it wouldn't take a few days for it to end up in the Evil Realm; would you believe it?"

"Mr. Feng means, there is treachery among the high-ranking officials of the Empire?"

"That's what you're saying, oh. I didn't say that." The middle-aged man smiled.

"If it's impossible to hand it over to the Empire, then what about destroying the Collapsed Stone Plate?" Cha Naixue asked again, "Having possession can lead to guilt, so how about destroying this Wall Jade?"

"First off, as a Spirit Scientist, this is the culmination of my life's work! Although achieved by chance, even I can't reproduce its success, but asking me to destroy it... is undoubtedly asking me to destroy my spiritual pillar! Do you understand? This is my spiritual pillar!!"

As he spoke, Feng Jianyi became more agitated.

However, he quickly calmed down again.

"Secondly, madam, do you really think that Wall Jade is just the Collapsed Stone Plate?"

Everyone understood his meaning; even if the success of the Collapsed Stone Plate can't be replicated, the Spirit Science talent and knowledge in Feng Jianyi's mind are concrete. After trying several million times, it's not guaranteed that another Collapsed Stone Plate won't be made.

Everyone, both the Empire and the Imaginary Court, wanted not just the Collapsed Stone Plate but also the person Feng Jianyi.

Xia Feng and Mu Qingtong exchanged glances, feeling it was not so simple.

Feng Jianyi still had not disclosed his real reason for choosing to forsake a life of luxury, opting instead to flee with his daughter and the stone plate.
