As Han Wensheng's head exploded, the noisy words disappeared, and the nightmare ended...
At this scene, Lanshan immediately vomited it out. Because of the strong stimulation and days of anxiety, she gave birth prematurely...
But fortunately, the child was born smoothly and mother and child were safe.
This night many people came to the imperial court to welcome the birth of the princess.
Dongfang Ruo and his wife, Leng Ying and others were all present, and even Vivian and Chen Guang came to join in the fun.
The child's holographic projection was shown to the entire Twilight City's subjects, symbolizing the continuation of hope that diluted the gloom caused by Han Wensheng.
That night everyone put aside their work and celebrated the great monarch together, and the fun continued until the early morning of the next day.
At this time, there are less than twenty hours left before the time predicted by Han Wensheng.
Maybe no one remembers it, but Leng Hong never forgets it. After he heard the truth, he started a countdown, and the time jumped in front of his eyes minute by minute.
"The truth is always easier to hear than to accept..." Leng Hong muttered these words, and then gently kissed his wife and daughter on their foreheads.
Then he left the palace and came to the Hall of Valor, where the Nine Sages and the Raven Guard had been waiting for a long time.
"This is a divine scepter that only a great monarch deserves to possess, symbolizing supreme power. But today, I, Tridis, grant it to you. I hope you can feel the faith behind this power and swear an oath of loyalty!"
Leng Hong handed the divine scepter to Leng Xing.
Leng Xing returned on one knee. He accepted this gift from the king in front of all the kings of Tredis and solemnly swore an oath.
…
"Your Majesty, that bastard Han Wensheng is a lunatic. You don't have to worry at all?!" Leng Xing knew the meaning behind handing over the divine scepter. Leng Hong was planning for his death.
Leng Hong didn't say anything. He patted his brother on the shoulder and left the Hall of Valor alone.
…
When the sun rose on time, Lanshan woke up with a start. She didn't know that she had become a mother until she found that her belly was no longer so bloated and there was a small hand holding her finger.
Watching all this blankly, Lanshan cried with joy. She hugged her daughter and protected her gently, fearing that a little carelessness would hurt her baby.
After an unknown amount of time, a deep voice sounded.
"I also watched her last night for a long time."
Lanshan came to her senses after hearing this. She raised her head and saw Leng Hong leaning against the door and looking at her with a smile.
Sitting next to the bed, Leng Hong hugged his wife, and the two of them just looked at the little thing sleeping peacefully with its eyes closed.
"What's her name?" Lanshan asked, leaning into her husband's arms.
"Liya, these are the rules." Just like Cui Disi, Leng Hong could only choose to respect it.
Lanshan smiled slightly: "It sounds good too."
…
As time passed by, Leng Hong did not feel any discomfort, but he was not at peace inside.
He tried his best to deal with daily trivial matters as a monarch, from some difficult disputes to some gifts from common people. In the blink of an eye, the time came to 19:00 on January 26, 86 AD.
This coincided with the time predicted by Han Wensheng. Leng Hong was dining at this time. He froze for a moment when the time reached 19:00. Then when time continued to pass and entered 19:00:01, he
Breathing normally, the taste of food is still in your mouth, everything is as usual.
But this does not mean that Leng Hong has emerged from this shadow. On the contrary, he officially entered the torture from 19:00:01.
Han Wensheng's death has been informed by the coalition government, but the coalition government has not made any response to this. They have only cut off contact with the city-state of the sunset, and all attempted communication has been indifferently rejected.
If this situation was not accompanied by a curse from Han Wensheng, Leng Hong, who was once extremely proud, would never take it to heart.
However things are not that simple.
Thinking of the Turaya plan behind Han Wensheng and the various abnormal reactions of Lanshan in recent days, Leng Hong's heart was imprisoned in a cold cage. He could only wait alone for it all to end.
Leng Hong, who had never felt that time was so long and precious, did not stay with his family after dinner, but chose to sit alone on the throne, waiting for it all to end.
It is 20:59:01 on the night of January 26, 86 AD.
When the last minute started counting, Leng Hong was so nervous that she couldn't breathe.
There was no one in the main hall at this time, and the city-state was still quiet and peaceful under the dusk.
until……
When 21 o'clock arrived and the countdown ended, Leng Hong suddenly stood up from the throne. Then he looked at his hands blankly and tried to breathe a few more times. There was no problem, everything was normal.
Is all this... really Han Wensheng's lie?
But before Leng Hong's smile could come to his lips, an alarm sounded in the city.
Leng Hong was startled and hurriedly walked out of the hall, but his steps gradually became heavier. This heaviness was strange. It was not the weight caused by the pain, but the power gradually leaving Leng Hong's body.
His breathing also became rapid, and Leng Hong could even smell the rotten stench contained in his breath.
But he didn't feel any pain in any of his body's organs.
but……
When he weakly pushed open the door and saw the raging waves rushing into the city, his last breath left him.
His cloudy eyes could not clearly see the scene at the moment when the disaster struck, and Leng Hong, whose hair and beard was all white, fell outside the gate of the imperial court.
…
Time January 22, 1989
This was the first time Leng Hong saw Kui under the hood. This sudden Kui appeared without any warning and left behind a crumbling house on the streets of the city-state.
When Cuidisi led the army to surround the place, Kui appeared with a lantern.
"Great monarch, I have been waiting for you for a long time."
…
Time January 22, 1987
"The system has entered the first debugging, Turaya is ready to be restarted, and the final certificate authentication is completed"
Lanshan had lost the concept of time. When she regained consciousness, the first thing she felt was a hangover-like headache. Fortunately, she could barely hear some things clearly.
"The first debugging is completed, the first type of original embryo is successfully completed, and Turaya has been closed."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lanshan felt something leave her body. The feeling was very clear, and it was accompanied by some pain. This pain was caused by rawness.
"The second debugging has begun, Turaya is ready to restart, the genetic petri dish is ready, and full operation is underway."
Lanshan's brain was stimulated by the continuous words about Turaya, and she began to recall everything about Turaya.
Some include gene continuity experiments, original embryo culture of ancestral-like differentiated cells, etc...
There is also Han Wensheng’s visit, and the water...the boundless water...and the darkness that followed the coldness and covered the sky...
"Turaya has recognized the danger awareness data and has suspended its operation."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lanshan's memory was forcibly locked, and it felt like the light for moving forward was suddenly turned off.
