nHan Li jumped down from a collapsed building.

nIn front of her, there were faint specks of light.

nThe murmurs beside her ears were whispering.

n“A teleportation array!” Han Li understood the meaning of the murmurs.

n“What is a teleportation array?!” She asked.

nThe murmurs whispered and unfolded a forbidden scene in front of Han Li’s eyes.

nA rolling rain of blood fell from the sky.

nThe enormous monster raised its head.

n“Charge!” It roared, “For the Nether River!”

nThe burning ghosts carried pieces of stone on their backs.

nThey built a large door in the barren field.

nGreen lights bloomed from the door.

nA new world appeared behind the door.

n“Go!” The monster shouted, “Go and erode this world! Go and pull it closer to the orbit of the mother of the Abyss!”

n“We will conquer it in the end!”

n“We will capture it in the end!”

nA boundless river appeared in the blood-red sky.

nHuge energy started to pull the world across the door.

nBit by bit, it started to be captured to the surface of the Abyss world.

nThen, countless monsters poured in in a frenzy.

nThe world was wailing and struggling, finally falling into the hands of the Abyss, becoming a paradise for demons, a world for ghosts and evil spirits.

nAnd that would also be the future of Han Li’s world.

n“So…” Han Li said, “The teleportation array is the instigator of the apocalypse?!”

nThe murmurs gave a denial answer.

nThe reason for the apocalypse was not because of the teleportation array.

nThe teleportation array was the result of the apocalypse, not the cause.

nThe real cause was that the world was too close to the Abyss!

nIt had already been captured by the energy of the Abyss.

nThe so-called apocalypse was the process of the world being captured by the Abyss.

nHan Li was disturbed. She could already understand what kind of terrifying enemy she and the world would be facing!

nThe terrifying world known as the Abyss had already devoured countless worlds over countless years.

nShe was clear that without reinforcements, it would be useless, no matter how much she struggled.

nSo…

n“I must become stronger as soon as possible to meet the requirements of the owner of the fog…” she thought.

nAlthough the owner of the fog might not have any good intentions.

nBut…

nIf she could get his involvement and help, she could at least fight for a chance of survival!

nSo, she had to find all the ingredients needed for the “Elixir of Ascension” first and then take it.

nIn this way, the owner of the bookstore might look up to her.

nThen…

nShe would offer him tribute.

nHe liked Flat Peaches and Cerulean Spirit Tea.

nSo, he might also like other spiritual objects.

nFor example, the most precious spiritual item in the National Security Organization of the United Nations, ‘Immortal Wine’ ,brewed from forty-eight most precious spiritual plants.

nOne bottle was worth two hundred thousand contribution points!

nAnd only demon hunters with the rank of major general were qualified to exchange for it!

n“I’ll work hard!” Han Li jumped up and rushed toward the teleportation array.

nThe ghosts and evil spirits that were guarding it crawled up from the ground, trying to stop her.

nBut…

nThe Spirit Blade in her hand exploded with tremendous psionic power.

nThe shadow of a Succubus appeared in her body, and the Scarlet Whip followed her like a shadow.

nThe ghosts and evil spirits were slashed apart by the Spirit Blade.

nThe evil spirits were swept up and torn apart by the whip.

nFinally, Han Li appeared in front of the teleportation array, and the murmurs beside her ears softly told her how to destroy it.

nHan Li waved the Spirit Blade and accurately found the hub of the teleportation array. It was a pentagram array formed by five gemstones.

nThe Spirit Blade was inserted into it, and the power of the wind surged out from it.

nA bright light rose from the pentagram.

nWith an explosion, the teleportation array in Linhai city was destroyed.

nFinally…

nLinhai city was safe.

nEven though it was only temporary!

n… … ..

nOne after another, the terracotta army stood in front of Liu Zhi.

nThere were already a hundred of them.

nLiu Zhi looked at them with excitement in his eyes.

nWith them, he was no longer afraid of assassination.

n“Your Highness…” a panda man came to Liu Zhi and knelt. “His Majesty is seriously ill. The Empress Dowager invites you to go immediately!”

nLiu Zhi stood up with a sorrowful expression.

nHe knew that the day had finally come.

nHis father was going to return to the temple.

nAnd he would become the new king of this country.

n“I know!” He said, “I will go there immediately!”

nHe understood that now, he still needed to hide his strength and bide his time.

nThus, he ordered the terracotta army in front of him, “All standby until I give a new order!”

n“Yes!” The terracotta army closed their eyes one after another and entered the standby state.

nUntil their master wakes them up again.

nAfter passing through layers of palaces, Liu Zhi walked into the center of power of the Xinghan dynasty, the emperor’s bedroom.

nAll the officials looked at him.

nThe crowd revealed a look of contempt as they looked at the crown prince.

nThey had already learned that after the crown prince was assassinated, he was scared out of his wits and spent the entire day in the heavily guarded palace. Relying on the protection of the panda guards. He didn’t even dare to show his face. Not to mention saying things such as ‘avenge the insult, conquer to the grasslands’ like before.

nThat was the emperor they needed.

nA weak, rash, and timid king.

nThis way, the marriage could continue, and everyone could live a wealthy and peaceful-minded life.

nAt the side of the Emperor’s dragon bed, the empress dowager of Xinghan sat beside him. Beside her was the Empress Dowager’s favorite son, Prince Liang, and her favorite daughter, who was also Liu Zhi’s mother-in-law, Guan Tao.

nThe Emperor on the dragon bed was already on his last breath.

nHis dragon energy was slowly disappearing from his body. He had finally returned to being an ordinary person.

n“Zhi’er!” The emperor called Liu Zhi’s name softly.

n“Father!” Liu Zhi knelt in front of his father’s bed.

nThe emperor struggled to sit up. He asked a eunuch to take the crown that he had prepared earlier and then personally put it on Liu Zhi.

n“Today, my son will be crowned!” The Emperor said.

nEveryone looked at the empress dowager.

n“Mother!” The emperor urged, “Zhi’er will be crowned today. Don’t you have anything to say?”

nThe Empress Dowager was expressionless.

nAt this moment, Guan Tao, who had been sitting beside her, said softly, “Mother, is a good thing that Zhi’er is crowned…”

n“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

nThe old empress dowager finally spoke, “Of course I’m happy that Zhi’er is crowned!”

nShe reached out her hand and gently tied the ribbon of the crown to Liu Zhi’s hat.

nThus, all the ministers knelt, “We congratulate the Crown Prince for being crowned!”

nIn Xinghan, the crowned prince and the crown prince who was not crowned were two different things.

nThe former meant coming of age and having the power to decide the government. It also meant the recognition and protection of the Black Dragon King and the deities in the temples.

nThe latter was a child who needed the guidance of the empress dowager and the great empress dowager.

nTherefore, although that was just a formality and a ceremony, it was extremely important!

n“My son!” The emperor held Liu Zhi’s hand and used all his strength. “Is inheriting the throne!”

nThe emperor of Xinghan was dead!

n… … … ..

nAfter lunch, Ling Pingan felt a little sleepy.

nHe didn’t want to move at all.

nLet alone write.

nHe felt like a lazy person who just wanted to lay down.

nBut then again, was there any problem with being lazy?

nHe thought about it and found that it was not an issue.

n“Anyway, the first 30,000 words are written!” He looked at the document on the screen. “It’s time for me to relax!”

nSo, he took out his phone and rushed into the canyon.

nThe carefree life of the bookstore owner was so simple and boring.
