World-Ending Demon Emperor-Chapter 1952 - 885: Overturning Na Xue! The Engagement!

Chapter 1952: Chapter 885: Overturning Na Xue! The Engagement!

Emperor Di Ming’s words tore away all the pretense!

Na Xue’s face twitched, and suddenly her eyes erupted with murderous intent!

If it had been anyone else, daring to directly expose her inner thoughts, daring to unmask her proud facade, they would have been shattered to pieces. So even now, towards Emperor Di Ming, she showed overwhelming murderous intent.

But soon, she gradually suppressed this murderous intent, her extraordinarily beautiful face flushed, and she took a long breath, saying: "Emperor Di Ming, you’re right, I refuse to be beneath others, I am ambitious. If it’s not a revival led by me, Na Xue, then I’d rather not have it at all. For this goal, I am willing to pay any price! My destiny can be controlled by no one but me, whether it be the Demon Emperor or the heavens. I want to ascend to that peak position, even if it’s only for one second, even if the next second sees me shattered and obliterated. In this way, my life will be worthwhile!"

Immediately, Emperor Di Ming also fell completely silent.

Na Xue said: "If you want to achieve the great revival of the Demon Race, if you think Lanling is a better choice, you can leave!"

Emperor Di Ming once again knelt down.

"Na Xue, I’ve said long ago, whatever Demon Race revival, whatever master of destiny, I don’t care," Emperor Di Ming sighed, "The only thing I care about is you... hoping you’re happy, hoping you achieve your wishes. The reason I tore away your mask is only to make you face the true self, rather than striving to stack masks and theories on yourself. This will drive you insane, it will lead to self-destruction!"

"Forget about the so-called master of destiny, forget about the so-called Demon Race revival, you, Na Xue, are fighting for yourself, fighting for your destiny, fighting for your ambition," Emperor Di Ming said, "There’s no need for any noble purpose, the so-called revival of Demon Race civilization, it’s good if it can be achieved, but it’s okay if not. Because it is at best just a byproduct of realizing ambition!"

Na Xue’s slender body trembled as she gazed at Emperor Di Ming.

Emperor Di Ming said, "I’ve had brief contact with Lanling, but I feel I’ve understood him quite well. At least in his heart, the revival of Demon Race civilization and some justice of darkness are complete nonsense. In his heart, there’s only one thought, to kill everyone in the Dragon Temple! So you should do the same; simplify your thoughts; it’s just about realizing your ambition, paying whatever price, using any means. Ideologies, ideals, they are all just to fool the world. The Witch Queen may have ideals, the Winged Tribe King may have ideals, even Di Nie has ideals, so they all become subjects. Lanling has no ideals, so he is a king. His ideal is to realize his desires, and all else that seems great is merely an accessory to his desires."

Na Xue quietly looked at Emperor Di Ming, and suddenly extended her arms, lightly tapping Emperor Di Ming on the shoulders: "Thank you, thank you for waking me from the dream, I was trapped in a spell!"

Emperor Di Ming said, "Since you’ve awakened, let’s retreat!"

"No, it won’t work..." Na Xue said, "It’s really not possible, once we retreat it will be difficult to destroy Lanling again, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Emperor Di Ming said, "You’d rather risk losing fifty thousand members of the Undead Warrior Group to wait for a chance to possibly eliminate Lanling and Di Nie, even if it’s a fleeting chance?"

"Yes!" Na Xue said, "Because I know clearly, if we allow Lanling to leave, the consequences are far worse than losing fifty thousand members of the Undead Legion!"

Emperor Di Ming looked at Na Xue, deeply sighing, no wonder he is only a subject.

Perhaps he could reveal Na Xue’s spell with words, could even convince her to change certain thoughts. But he can never change her will.

And Na Xue’s thoughts were just overturned, yet she still would not go with the flow, remaining firm in her own certain beliefs.

According to ordinary thought, Na Xue’s strategy and thinking were influenced by Emperor Di Ming’s persuasion, let alone a mere matter of retreating. However, Na Xue can change her ideology, but she won’t change her will.

It’s like some historical figures of great prestige, their faith and ideology keep changing, from republicanism to federalism, then to communism, and then socialism. The only unchanged is the will to conquer the world because the so-called ideology and faith are all tools.

Understanding this, Emperor Di Ming, though feeling the pain of heartless words, did not insist on making Na Xue retreat, for he also cannot be sure if his insistence is correct.

"Continue to besiege, do not retreat, wait for Lanling and Di Nie to appear again. At all costs, by any means, eliminate Lanling and Di Nie!" Na Xue said, "Because the Tiancha King can compromise but Lanling cannot, there’s no possibility of partnership!"

"Yes!" Emperor Di Ming said.

...

Na Xue is truly remarkable!

Even in such a nearly hopeless situation, she still holds firm to her beliefs and refuses to retreat!

Though unproven, in fact, her perseverance and siege are correct! Lanling and Di Nie are still here, they haven’t left.

However, many times, things do not shift because of her will.

After continuing to surround Yun E Royal City for five days, the Tiancha King decided not to persist, he wanted to retreat and stop supplying resources to Na Xue Legion!

Na Xue immediately exploded in anger, cursing fiercely in front of Emperor Di Ming: "A scoundrel unworthy to plot with!"

Then, Na Xue came to Tiancha King again, repeating her opinion that Lanling and Di Nie haven’t left, they are still in Yun E Royal City, only hidden through some unknown method.

She begged the Tiancha King to persist for another month and a half; if Lanling and Di Nie still don’t appear, Na Xue would retreat with the Tiancha King!

Then, Tiancha King’s gaze and tone turned exceedingly sinister: "Princess Na Xue, you are so sure Lanling and Di Nie are still within Yun E Royal City?"

"Yes!" Na Xue said, "I trust my intuition, trust my understanding of Lanling. I can guarantee Lanling and Di Nie are still within Yun E Royal City!"

Tiancha King said, "What if you’re wrong?"

"Impossible!" Na Xue said.

Tiancha King’s voice changed: "How about we make a pact? Within a month and a half, if Lanling and Di Nie don’t appear, you marry my son, Crown Prince Tiancha, how about it?"

At these words, Princess Na Xue’s face changed drastically.

It turns out the Tiancha King wasn’t genuinely planning to retreat, but rather waiting for her here.

Indeed, he is a character of utmost despicability, willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals!

Now, she somewhat understands why in the Southern Barbaric Lands even the Heavenly Demon Blood Oath can be used as toilet paper, because this is a country of true collapse of ritual and music, a collapse of faith, where the only beliefs are power and interest!

In such an environment where anything is done for the sake of goals, sticking to the spirit of a contract is not nobility but sheer stupidity!

Princess Na Xue closed her beautiful eyes, caught in struggle! Not the struggle of whether to agree, but the struggle of her own degeneration!

Tiancha King said, "I do not force the princess, Your Highness, if you want to persist, continue to persist. I am prepared to retreat. Even from a demonic ideology standpoint, I am willing to provide five more days of material supply!"

Na Xue’s heart smirked coldly; if the Tiancha King retreats, what is there for Na Xue to persist for?

The two families’ cooperation is needed to trap Lanling and Di Nie completely; with only Na Xue, it results in mutual destruction.

"I don’t believe Lanling and Di Nie are still here, but for the sake of marrying Princess Na Xue as a daughter-in-law, I am willing to pay this great price!" Tiancha King said, "Even if it costs astronomical sums, continuing to besiege an empty city for a month and a half. So long as you make a pact, a month and a half hence if Lanling and Di Nie do not appear, you marry my son, Crown Prince Tiancha, and my army of millions will accompany you to the end!"

Gradually, she became calm and slowly said, "Alright, it’s a deal!"
