Chapter 354 is suicide

When he pushed the door open, Shen Cheng's attention was immediately attracted by a portrait hanging on the wall.

It's not just because it's a portrait of the Eternal Emperor, but also because when the door was opened, the painting's gaze actually looked over here.

A living painting!

Shen Cheng showed a surprised expression on his face.

"Isn't it awesome?"

Xiao Qingque chuckled, as if sharing a favorite toy: "This is the Eternal Emperor, which I drew myself."

The Eternal Emperor in the portrait stared at Shen Cheng, then sneered: "Is this the man you like? For such a weak and insignificant man, you actually gave up finding yourself?"

The Eternal Emperor's voice sounded more like one of disappointment than mockery; one could even hear the sound of gnashing of teeth.

Shen Cheng ignored the Eternal Emperor's contempt for him and looked at Xiao Qingque in confusion, waiting for her explanation.

Xiao Qingque brought Shen Cheng to the portrait and began to explain while admiring the expression in the portrait.

The legacy left by the Eternal Emperor is nothing but herself.

Her strength, her emotions, her ambitions and dreams, everything is contained in this painting.

As a reincarnated person, Xiao Qingque has recovered all her memories. Now she only needs to come into contact with this portrait, and she will be able to take back everything she owns and become a true eternal emperor.

However, the moment he came into contact with the portrait, Xiao Qingque shrank back.

After retrieving the inheritance, Xiao Qingque will transform into the Eternal Emperor.

Although her original memories and consciousness will not disappear, there is no doubt that they will be dominated by the emotions and preferences of the Eternal Emperor.

At that time, she would immediately cut off her relationship with Shen Cheng.

She is an emperor who is high above everyone else and a ruler standing at the top of the world. How can she maintain an intimate relationship with a man who is so much weaker than her?

Between finding himself and Shen Cheng, Xiao Qingque hesitated for a long time, and finally chose the latter.

After the Eternal Emperor in the portrait learned the reason why Xiao Qingque gave up contacting her, he almost jumped out of the painting and smashed her head.

She had thought of many possibilities of Xiao Qingque giving up on finding her, and had made sufficient plans for this, but she had never thought that Xiao Qingque would actually give up because of a man.

This made the Eternal Emperor extremely crazy. She used to be disdainful of any male, and the three pets she created were even female at first.

And the fact that her reincarnation would actually indulge in such a lowly emotion as love between a man and a woman was no less than grabbing her hair and slapping her hard in the face.

But this is just the Eternal Emperor's idea. For Xiao Qingque, becoming the Eternal Emperor certainly has benefits, but this benefit is not enough to make her change her personality, nor is it enough to make her cut off all her past interpersonal relationships.

Even if she didn't become the Eternal Emperor, she felt that her current life was wonderful and she felt very satisfied.

After all, she likes to slack off and has no lofty goals or dreams to achieve.

Shen Cheng only then realized that Xiao Qingque had given up on becoming the Eternal Emperor because of him. Of course he was touched, but he would not express any opinion on this and would only support Xiao Qingque's choice.

"You are still very young now, immersed in love, and regard feelings as more important than anything else."

The Eternal Emperor in the portrait said: "When you get older, or encounter danger and difficulties, you will know that love is not a meal, and love between men and women cannot solve any problems for you. Only powerful forces can guarantee that you will be satisfied and your future life will be smooth."

Shen Cheng also had to admit that what the Eternal Emperor said made sense, but it was not completely correct.

Everyone has their own aspirations and cannot be forced. Her path is suitable for everyone.

Xiao Qingque's reaction was much simpler. She opened her arms, hugged Shen Cheng's neck and kissed him, using this practical action as an answer.

"Stop it."

The Eternal Emperor in the portrait was extremely annoyed and warned loudly: "Don't use my appearance to do this kind of thing!!"

Xiao Qingque is now using the appearance of the Eternal Emperor, and she is the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor. The two are actually the same person.

In the eyes of the Eternal Emperor, it seemed like she was being intimate with a strange and weak man. How could she bear this?

However, Xiao Qingque ignored the Eternal Emperor's warning and kissed Shen Cheng very passionately, even moving back a little on purpose to let her see his tongue.

In the end, it was Shen Cheng who took the initiative to end it. Otherwise, according to Xiao Qingque's preferences, they might have started to have real sex in front of the portrait while kissing.

"You can't handle a kiss?"

Xiao Qingque looked up at the portrait and said with a grin, "We just did something even more outrageous downstairs. Didn't you hear anything?"

The Eternal Emperor in the portrait had a blank expression on his face and was indifferent to Xiao Qingque's words.

Of course she heard it, but she didn't expect Xiao Qingque to be so excessive in front of her.

She now regrets that she should have prepared a few more reincarnations. Otherwise, the one in front of her would grow crooked and there would be no backup to replace it.

Shen Cheng was afraid that if Xiao Qingque continued to provoke him, the Eternal Emperor in the portrait might jump out.

He changed the subject and asked Xiao Qingque, "What's going on with your power?"

Xiao Qingque transformed himself into the appearance of the Eternal Emperor. This is a special ability, not a simple change of appearance, otherwise Shen Cheng and the other two Blood Kings would not have failed to see it.

In addition, Xiao Qingque can actually turn the eternal blood into a red bird and fly thousands of miles to help him.

These abilities far exceed Xiao Qingque's own extraordinary powers.

Xiao Qingque explained: "I just told you, I took back a little bit of the inheritance, that is, I took back some power from the portrait, and I can also transform into the appearance of the Eternal Emperor. Otherwise, no one would believe me if I said I was the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor."

Shen Cheng looked up at the portrait: "Will she agree?"

"Hey, don't be fooled by her lively appearance now, she is essentially just a painting."

Xiao Qingque said indifferently: "Not to mention that I painted this picture myself, so she can't disobey my orders at all. I asked her to hand over some of her power, and she had no choice but to do it obediently."

If Xiao Qingque did not want to become the Eternal Emperor for the time being, then this painting should have disappeared long ago. Its existence is entirely dependent on the legacy of Xiao Qingque inside it.

The Eternal Emperor in the portrait did not comment on Xiao Qingque's words, and even hoped that Xiao Qingque would take away more power.

When she tastes the beauty of power, she will actively ask for more, and finally stop resisting to find herself again.

"After I regained some of my strength, I realized you were in danger, so I got a bird to help you."

Xiao Qingque reached out and touched Shen Cheng's chest muscles: "But my blood didn't stay in your body for long before it ran out. What's wrong with your body?"

Shen Cheng thought that the eternal blood was taken away by Xiao Qingque, but it turned out that he ran away. "I have other blood in my body. If the ratio of the two is unbalanced, my body will collapse."

He asked curiously, "Do you have a lot of Eternal Blood?"

Before, both Du Tianming and the other three blood kings said that the amount of eternal blood was fixed, and Shen Cheng believed them.

However, the amount of Eternal Blood that Xiao Qingque temporarily gave to Shen Cheng far exceeded his own amount, and also exceeded the amount calculated by Du Tianming and others.

"It's my own blood, of course I can have as much as I want."

Xiao Qingque chuckled: "But the amount of blood I left before I died was only that much, so of course those three little pets thought the amount was fixed."

There was a question that had been in Shen Cheng's mind for a long time. Now that he heard Xiao Qingque say this, he finally couldn't help but ask: "How did you die before? You definitely weren't defeated by Qin Hao and the others, right?"

Legend has it that the Eternal Emperor was defeated by three Blood Kings, who then divided and devoured her, seizing her power.

In order to prevent the servants from following suit, the three blood kings worked together to create the Source Blood Curse to prevent the servants from harming their masters.

In the past, Shen Cheng believed in this legend without a doubt, but later he gradually discovered something wrong.

After seeing how Xiao Qingque ordered Bai Jun and Qin Hao around, Shen Cheng realized that the rumors were false and Xiao Qingque was definitely not defeated by Qin Hao and his two companions.

Qin Hao couldn't help but kneel down when he saw Xiao Qingque. How could he look like someone who had ever defeated the Eternal Emperor?
"Defeat me? Haha, these three little guys have learned to flatter themselves."

Xiao Qingque laughed out loud.

Before her memory came back, she also believed the rumor.

After her memory came back, she didn't feel angry about it, but just felt a little funny.

After laughing, Xiao Qingque replied, "The person who can kill me has not yet been born in this world! I actually committed suicide."

"Suicide?"

Shen Cheng was stunned for a moment. He had considered many possibilities, but he never thought that the answer would be this!
With Shen Cheng's strength, there would be no psychological problems at all, let alone being the Eternal Emperor.

Therefore, it is difficult for Shen Cheng to imagine what reasons could make the Eternal Emperor choose to commit suicide.

Judging from the fact that the Eternal Emperor chose to reincarnate and leave a legacy, her suicide seemed more like a purposeful act than a simple suicide.

"That's right, it was suicide. You heard it right, and I didn't say it wrong. As for the reason..."

Xiao Qingque paused for a moment, then said in distress: "I don't know whether I should tell you or not, because knowing this will not do any good, but will make people feel anxious and uneasy."

"Haha, you also feel anxious?"

This sentence was not said by Shen Cheng, but by the portrait on the wall.

The Eternal Emperor in the portrait finally ended his silence and sneered, "You clearly know what will happen in the future, but you still refuse to take back your power because of a trivial matter like love between a man and a woman. Don't say you are the Eternal Emperor when you go out. I really can't afford to lose this person."

Xiao Qingque was not defeated by the words of the Eternal Emperor. He just spread his hands and said, "Even if I take back my power, I can't change the future. It's better not to mess around in the first place."

The Eternal Emperor snorted coldly: "A rotten tree cannot be carved. Your brain is broken."

Xiao Qingque chuckled, then looked at Shen Cheng.

Shen Cheng said: "Tell me, my psychological endurance is still very strong."

Now that things have come to this, if Xiao Qingque still keeps it to herself, Shen Cheng might have to use some means on her.

"Okay, I knew you wouldn't refuse."

Xiao Qingque pushed Shen Cheng with both hands and threw him onto the bed in the middle of the bedroom.

Then he climbed up and hugged him.

Seeing the two of them hugging each other so intimately, the Eternal Emperor in the portrait's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he was obviously a little stimulated.

Xiao Qingque has already started to tell Shen Cheng the reason why she committed suicide: "Do you know? There were actually many civilizations in this world, but they were all destroyed without exception."

Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows and subconsciously said a word: "Theory of the destruction of civilization cycle?"

Xiao Qingque looked at him in surprise: "How did you know this?"

Shen Cheng could only reiterate the theory of Black Agate, the great scholar among the demons.

Xiao Qingque had also experienced the incident where Black Agate tried to flood a city, but Shen Cheng did not tell her the details afterwards, so she naturally didn't know the whole story.

After listening to this, Xiao Qingque couldn't help but sigh: "This guy is amazing. He can actually see through the mist of history and see the truth. It's a pity that he is a demon. If he were in the Eternal Empire, I would definitely support his research."

Shen Cheng didn't expect Xiao Qingque to have such a high opinion of black agate. However, the research on black agate was ridiculed in the Dragon Domain. In the end, he was even deserted by his friends and relatives and had to surrender to the blasphemer.

It is really sad that a scholar who knows the truth ends up like this.

It was only after Shen Cheng followed the old professor Si Han to participate in the archaeological excavation of underground ruins and saw the records of a lost civilization that he realized how true the black agate research theory was.

"Since you already know it in advance, it will be much easier for me to explain it."

Xiao Qingque hugged Shen Cheng, and his tone was no longer as relaxed as before: "Actually, I... to be precise, I should be the Eternal Emperor, a person who survived from the previous civilization."

After he finished speaking, seeing that Shen Cheng had no reaction, Xiao Qingque looked up at him: "Aren't you surprised?"

Shen Cheng said honestly: "I know I will hear a lot of secrets today. If I make a fuss at the beginning, won't I be scared to death later?"

"How come you are so smart?"

Xiao Qingque touched his face with his hand and continued, "In the last civilization, it was no secret that civilizations would be destroyed periodically. Countless people were looking for the cause of the destruction, including the Eternal Emperor, of course."

Unfortunately, none of them found the answer. The last ray of light that descended from the sky destroyed all civilizations on the earth.

The Eternal Emperor is a survivor. When she wakes up from her slumber, the destroyed world is in a state of desolation.

She traveled all over the world and finally chose to settle in the Eternal Empire. Because of loneliness, she used her own flesh and blood to create three small pets, namely a white cat, a yellow dog, and a sable.

But as time went on, the three pets still failed to comfort the Eternal Emperor.

So she created many, many people based on the legend she had heard from somewhere and using her own extremely diluted blood as a sample.

This is where the Eternals come from.
