Or the long and endless darkness.

There is still that gorgeous palace in the darkness.

Yu Ling didn't know how he existed. He only knew that he had been here for a long, long time, so long that he had almost forgotten who he was. He watched the little boy in the palace gradually grow up and become a teenager. Sometimes,

He vaguely felt that he was this person.

Yu Ling still remembered that she didn't know which time she dreamed about this boy. At that time, he was forced by his master to practice swordsmanship. He was frozen to the point of coma in the cold wind and heavy snow, and became seriously ill with no one to take care of him.

Even the medicinal materials he worked hard to get were trampled to pieces, and finally he crawled back to his residence bit by bit.

Yu Ling was deeply impressed by the boy's indifferent and dead eyes, which should not belong to a child in the first place.

From the last time I dreamed of this boy to now, he seemed to have grown up from five or six years old to fourteen or fifteen years old, but his face was always blurred, making Yu Ling unable to see clearly.

Who is this child? Why do I keep dreaming about him?

These doubts have been swirling in Yu Ling's mind for a long time, but there is still no answer. It seems that he will always be in this dark and silent space, watching this boy's lifelong experience from birth to death.

At first, Yu Ling was very anxious. Since he had complete consciousness, why couldn't he wake up? Others would definitely be worried about his safety. But as time went by, all his emotions were worn away, and even who outside cared about him.

, he couldn’t even remember clearly.

It was as if his memory was being replaced bit by bit by this boy's memory.

He seems to have experienced something similar like this once? When was it?

Forget it, I can't remember it.

Yu Ling just stared silently at the young man practicing swordsmanship in the palace. The things he experienced were enough to make anyone feel chilly.

When he was ten years old, the boy recognized an older sister, who was a maid in this cold palace and was his only warmth. The girl would secretly send him delicious food, tell him some interesting stories, and stay with him.

As a child, she cared, comforted and cared about him, but one day the girl's hidden cakes were suddenly discovered. She was caught by the palace guards, beaten until she was half disabled, and hung in front of the prison door, dripping with blood.

In this place, I will never rest my eyes until death.

That day, the boy knelt in front of the prison door and cried all night until he was scolded by the guards to get out of the way.

Later, while the guards were changing shifts, he took down the girl's body and buried it in his small courtyard. However, everyone knew that it was him who did it. For this, his master beat him severely in front of everyone.

Only half a life left.

He spent half a year recuperating from his injuries, but during this half-year, the amount of training did not decrease, but instead increased.

It seemed that everyone was against him, and he was already covered in wounds.

If the heart gradually becomes cold and hard, it will no longer be able to tolerate any light.

When he was twelve years old, rumors spread in the palace that he was not even the illegitimate son of His Majesty the Emperor, but simply the long-dead bitch and an unknown bastard. Otherwise, how could he be like this?

The emperor was furious, and within a few days hundreds of maids in the palace were executed. The rumors stopped. However, the more violent the suppression, the more people believed him. From then on, in addition to indifference, the eyes surrounding the boy were filled with contempt and disgust.

At the age of fourteen, the boy had to leave the palace temporarily to avoid the limelight. His master threw him into a deserted place and ignored him. Although the emperor wanted to stop him, he finally agreed for some reason.

In the desolate Gobi Desert, he slept in piles of sand, fought with the vultures to eat carrion, and drank animal blood. Occasionally, he was lucky enough to encounter an oasis, which was the greatest happiness.

In the dark swamp forest, he was bitten by mosquitoes and venomous snakes countless times, and his life hung on the line several times. Finally, he narrowly found an antidote to the herb nearby and saved his life.

Among the mountains and cliffs, he lived with strange beasts like a savage, until finally a group of spiritual apes regarded him as a companion, hanging out together all day long in search of food. This was actually his happiest time.

Because he suddenly understood that sometimes the human heart is more sinister and terrifying than wild beasts.

He wandered in this sparsely populated area, saw a lot of scenery, and experienced a lot of things. When he returned to the palace from thousands of miles away three years later, no one knew this savage-like young man.

No one thought he could come back.

They thought he was still the good-for-nothing he once was, but in fact, the young man who had been tempered countless times between life and death had already become more ferocious and terrifying than a wild beast.

It's just that he learned how to survive from alien animals. Those insects that are still weak will always disguise themselves as the environment changes, and they will always appear gentle and harmless to outsiders.

As a result, he also changed a lot. He was no longer as indifferent as he was before. Instead, he restrained all his sharp fangs and appeared gentle, well-behaved and considerate. With his beast-like intuition, he understood the surroundings.

The human heart is so sensitive to changes that it seems that one can see through it at a glance, but no one can see through what is going on in his heart.

He is like a venomous snake that patiently lurks. Yes, those venomous snakes are silent and unobtrusive before they target their prey and are ready to attack. Once they appear, they are fatal with one blow. This is what he has learned from the experience of being bitten countless times.

.

When he was twenty years old, he had secretly cultivated a line of dead soldiers who only obeyed his orders, and quietly won over a group of courtiers who were optimistic about him. Through a carefully designed assassination case, he left behind a layer of

There are layers of clues, and finally the finger points directly at one of his royal brothers.

It was the boy who trampled his dignity to pieces when he was a child.

No one doubted that he was lying dying on the hospital bed. Although this incident was not enough to kill the emperor's brother, his reputation was completely ruined, and his status in the emperor's heart plummeted from then on.

After many years of secret planning, his revenge plan finally begins to slowly start. Those who stand in front of him and those who were his enemies will be shattered to pieces.

When the time came, the original Crown Prince was kidnapped by the enemy during the enemy's campaign. He leaked the news to a leader of the enemy camp. Of course, his hands and feet were naturally very clean and no one would trace him.

, the clue would only be broken off by an irrelevant person. This incident made the emperor furious, and he directly deposed the prince, but the new candidate could not be decided for a long time.

Just because among the more than ten outstanding princes, some never got ahead due to assassination cases, some died early in training, and some never had a chance to come back because of a scandal, there was no one who was satisfied for a while.

.

No, there are some who are satisfied, but due to his embarrassing background, it is almost impossible for the young prince to sit in this position.

As the boy gradually turned into a young man and made great achievements in foreign campaigns, the rebellion of the Blue Ridge tribe in Nanding spread over a large area of ​​the southwestern territory, and the repeated admonitions of some courtiers made His Majesty the Emperor gradually shaken.

Although he has no evidence, he knows that many things that cannot be told to others were done by his ruthless son. However, he does not care about this very much. As long as he has the ability to hold on to this position, he is as cold-hearted as a wolf.

Ruthless people are the most suitable.

However, an opportunity is still needed.

If this son who has risen strongly can achieve unparalleled achievements and do things that no one before him has been able to do, then the power of opposition should be reduced to the lowest point.

So he sent this young man who was gradually growing up to the Ice Territory and asked him to continue to expand the territory and cover the territory of Jiuxiang Ancient Kingdom to the land outside the closed territory.

However, once the young man left, he never came back.

Because, he was trapped in the dark abyss.
