Over the Eastern Capital, a viridian light grew ever more brilliant.

The Sakura people on the ground didn’t know what was happening.

They could only see that the tops of their heads had turned green.

A Sakura citizen pointed at the top of his companion’s head and asked doubtfully, "Hey, why is the top of your head so green?"

The companion froze for a moment, then roared in shame and anger, "Your head is the green one! Your whole family is green!"

Only after he finished cursing did he realize he had misunderstood.

Because the top of his head was indeed very green.

It wasn’t just him.

He snapped his head up to look around, only to discover in horror that the tops of everyone’s heads had turned green!

To be precise, it wasn’t that their heads had turned green, but that the entire sky over the Eastern Capital had become a deep, viridian hue!

That green radiance poured down from the sky, coating everything on the ground in a layer of dazzling green light!

"What’s going on? Why has the sky turned green?"

"I hate green! What the hell is this?"

"Look! It’s that Great Xia woman in the sky! The green light is coming from her!"

Someone in the crowd finally realized what was happening, pointing a hand toward Lin Yuehua high in the sky.

Everyone’s gazes instantly focused on Lin Yuehua.

And sure enough, the viridian light was indeed emanating from Lin Yuehua.

She stood in the air, her arms spread wide, unleashing the Law of Life with her full strength.

The green light grew brighter and more intense.

The ordinary Sakura people looked on with blank confusion, having no idea what this overwhelming green light signified.

But high above, the faces of the five Sakura Ancient God incarnations changed drastically. They instantly understood what Lin Yuehua was about to do!

Amaterasu’s expression darkened. "She’s going to self-destruct her Power!"

Mu Huaji’s smile vanished. "Is this woman insane?"

Lin Yuehua was only at the Emperor Realm Early Stage. She was no match for even one Sakura Ancient God, let alone five.

Therefore, she had chosen the simplest, most brutal method—self-destructing her Power!!!

Once her Power exploded, the entire Eastern Capital would be razed to the ground.

Even the Sakura Ancient Gods would be gravely injured, if not killed.

"Stop her!" Amaterasu commanded.

He was the first to act, a terrifying Power of Law surging from his body and crashing toward Lin Yuehua like a tidal wave.

That force continuously battered the expanding self-destruction energy Lin Yuehua was gathering.

The other four Sakura Ancient Gods didn’t dare to hesitate, channeling their own Power of Law at full strength.

Five streams of power pressed in from five directions, desperately trying to compress Lin Yuehua’s self-destruction energy.

The viridian light in the sky began to tremble violently.

Lin Yuehua gritted her teeth, desperately trying to maintain the expansion of her Power.

But the difference in strength was too great.

The Sakura Ancient Gods had lived for untold millennia; their foundations were far deeper than hers.

The stalemate lasted for more than ten minutes.

In the end, Lin Yuehua could not hold on.

PFFT!

She violently spat out a mouthful of blood, her face instantly turning as pale as paper.

She staggered back several steps, reaching out to support herself on a summoned great tree to barely remain standing.

The Law of Life began to crumble.

The expansion of her Power was completely suppressed, and it began to rapidly contract.

The self-destruction had failed.

Lin Yuehua glanced down at the giant mosquito corpse on the ground, a bitter smile touching her lips.

Her eyes were filled with regret.

’I couldn’t avenge that mosquito.’

As Lin Yuehua’s Power dissipated, the viridian light in the sky gradually faded.

For the Sakura people on the ground, the green light above their heads was finally gone.

The suffocating sense of helplessness also slowly vanished.

"Phew~ That was killing me!"

"It’s all that Great Xia woman’s fault!"

Suddenly, someone shouted in anger.

"Kill her!"

Immediately, the rest of the Sakura people began to chant along.

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

"Kill her!"

The Holy Emperor looked at the now-powerless Lin Yuehua and the barely-breathing Feng Wuji high in the sky, a savage and crazed smile suddenly spreading across his face.

"The Emperor Realm experts that Great Xia is so proud of are about to die here in our Sakura Empire!"

"How could you from Great Xia possibly withstand the supreme might of our Sakura Ancient Gods!"

"Just you wait! I will make the whole of Great Xia tremble and fall into endless fear!!"

...

「Over the Eastern Capital.」

Lin Yuehua was already powerless to fight.

The power of the five Ancient God incarnations was too great; she couldn’t even manage to self-destruct.

She lowered her head slightly, looking at the giant mosquito corpse on the ground.

The body lay there silently, completely still.

Lin Yuehua let out a bitter laugh. "Little mosquito, I’m sorry. I couldn’t avenge you."

She paused, then added, "But Feng Wuji and I will be joining you soon."

She turned around, gazing in the direction of Great Xia.

That was her home, the place she had protected with her life.

Slowly, she closed her eyes.

Awaiting death.

...

「Somewhere in Great Xia.」

The old director slowly stood up, looking in the direction of Sakura Country.

His face was grim.

The reason he had gone so far as to offend the Qin Family, the Xia Family, and the Xuanyuan Family to protect Chu Sheng was twofold.

First, Chu Sheng had indeed made immense contributions to Great Xia, and he could not stand by and watch a hero of Great Xia die like this.

Second, before Chu Sheng’s appearance, he had repeatedly used the Wheel of Destiny to calculate the future, and each time it showed Great Xia falling into dire straits.

It was only when Chu Sheng began to distinguish himself that he saw a glimmer of hope in the Wheel of Destiny.

But now, because of Chu Sheng, the Sakura Ancient Gods were about to rise.

Once they matured, their first target would undoubtedly be Great Xia!

At that time, Great Xia would be plunged into a state of eternal damnation.

After a long silence, the old director sighed slowly. "Could it be that my choice was truly wrong?"

He raised his hand, preparing to tear open Space to rescue Lin Yuehua and Feng Wuji.

No matter what, he couldn’t just watch two Emperor Realm experts die there.

But just as he was about to act, the Wheel of Destiny suddenly vibrated slightly.

The old director paused.

Then, he lowered his hand.

He sat back down in his wicker chair, a faint smile on his face.

"Interesting."

...

「Sakura Country’s National Treasury.」

The moment the ten million Evolution Points vanished, Chu Sheng lost consciousness.

Just like every time before, layers of a Golden Cocoon enveloped him.

This time, the Golden Cocoon was thicker than ever before.

It nearly filled the entire room.

The eleventh evolution had begun in full.

Chu Sheng had previously set up a function to accelerate his evolution.

The Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the Sakura Country’s national treasury began to disappear at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Treasures, spiritual plates... regardless of their quality, none could escape the needs of Chu Sheng’s evolution.

One, two, ten, a hundred...

Under the system’s effect, those precious Heavenly and Earthly Treasures rapidly decomposed, transforming into Energy that surged into the Golden Cocoon.

The light of the Golden Cocoon grew ever more brilliant.

When the last Spiritual Artifact was broken down and absorbed, the Sakura Country’s national treasury was completely empty.

All the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures had turned to dust, scattering in the wind.

The Golden Cocoon lay quietly in the center of the treasury, emitting a dazzling light.

Suddenly.

CRACK!

A golden crack appeared on the surface of the Golden Cocoon.

Immediately after, the crack began to spread across the entire Golden Cocoon.
