Chapter 356: Take one step at a time

"The Blood King, haha, so majestic."

Xiao Qingque spoke in a cold tone, showing the original character of the Eternal Emperor to the fullest: "I will give you one last chance to confess. If you continue to hide it, there is no need for you to live."

As the creator of the three little animals, even if Xiao Qingque has not yet become a true eternal emperor, he can still control them at will and take their lives with just a thought.

Just now, Xiao Qingque did have the idea of ​​killing the three little pets to prevent future troubles, but was stopped by Shen Cheng.

Bai Jun and the other two are just three little pets in front of Xiao Qingque, but they are three real legends outside and are very useful.

Faced with Xiao Qingque's threat, Bai Jun and Qin Hao lay on the ground trembling.

As kings who have ruled the Eternal Empire for hundreds of years, their mentality would not be so bad, and they would not be afraid of death.

Mainly because of the long time they spent as pets, their awe of the Eternal Emperor has long been ingrained in their bones and will never change in their lifetime.

So the two of them didn't dare to hide it anymore and confessed the whole truth.

Before the Eternal Emperor committed suicide, he left some Eternal Blood for his three pets, which increased their strength to the legendary level and evolved them from pets into humans.

Because there was too much blood left, they were unable to absorb it all, and even retained some of it without using it.

The three of them had no idea how powerful the Eternal Emperor really was, so they naively thought that the Eternal Blood was all her power.

Relying on the power of legend, Bai Jun and the other two began to control the empire that had lost the Eternal Emperor. As their status changed and time passed, the mentality of the three pets gradually changed.

As the supreme ruler of the empire, he was the pet of the previous ruler. His origin was really too humble.

So the three of them began to modify history. First, they changed the identity of the pet to the servant of the Eternal Emperor. However, this was not enough, so they modified history again and created a rumor that the Eternal Emperor was defeated by the three blood kings and was divided and eaten.

This rumor spread widely and was even regarded as official history throughout the Eternal Empire, and the three men were therefore given the title of Blood Kings.

In order to prevent the Eternal Emperor from resurrecting, the three even joined forces to create the Source Blood Curse.

The purpose of the curse is not only to control the servants, but also to have a surveillance effect. Once the soul of the Eternal Emperor appears in the body of an Eternal with the Source Blood Curse, the three of them will be able to detect it and then nip the danger in the bud.

However, the emergence of the origin blood curse also caused the Eternal Empire to fall into a period of turmoil. A large number of Eternals were extremely opposed to this slavery curse, and some even stole the Eternal Blood and fled to the Human Federation.

"The Blood Curse does have other effects!"

Shen Cheng had long guessed that Bai Jun and the other two created the Blood Curse not only to enslave the Eternals, but also to prevent the Eternal Emperor from resurrecting.

However, Xiao Qingque was an Eternal created artificially by Du Tianming, and just like the natural Eternals, he did not have the curse of source blood at all.

Shen Cheng turned his head to look at Xiao Qingque, and asked him through telepathic communication: "You don't have the source blood curse, but I remember how you were affected by the curse before?"

He still remembered that at the beginning, Du Haijing was injured once, causing Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque to feel the threat of death brought by the source blood curse at the same time.

Xiao Qingque's voice rang out in Shen Cheng's mind: "That was because I thought I was really cursed, just like I thought I was your servant. My body received the wrong signal and automatically obeyed your orders."

Hearing this, Shen Cheng tried to give orders to Xiao Qingque as the master, but it really had no effect at all.

After regaining her memory, she stood at the top of all the Eternals. Only she could command others, and no one could command her.

Bai Jun and Qin Hao's story continues.

After the three of them suppressed all opponents, the Eternal Empire entered an era of rule by three kings. This era lasted for hundreds of years until the aftereffects of the Eternal Blood began to appear.

As the blood of the Eternal Emperor, the Eternal Blood naturally contains extremely powerful power, which can push the three little pets to the legendary realm.

However, while this blood is powerful, it also comes with some side effects, which is that it passively wants to return to the body of the Eternal Emperor and even produce an independent consciousness.

After absorbing too much Eternal Blood, ordinary Eternals will develop independent consciousness and compete with the absorber for control of the body. In the end, the two will devour each other and go crazy.

Shen Cheng also experienced this situation, but after he merged with Xiao Qingque, the independent consciousness generated by the eternal blood would return to the body of Xiao Qingque, the reincarnation of the emperor, and directly help Shen Cheng eliminate the sequelae.

Bai Jun and the other two were originally pets created by Xiao Qingque using his own flesh and blood, and they are highly compatible with the Eternal Blood.

Unfortunately, they were not eternal emperors after all. After hundreds of years, problems began to arise with the eternal blood in their bodies.

Although the sequelae can be temporarily suppressed with the power of legend, they cannot be eradicated, and sooner or later there will be a day when they can no longer be suppressed.

The three of them also experienced changes in their personalities due to the aftereffects, and finally parted ways, dividing the Eternal Empire into three.

In order to solve the sequelae, the three of them started to think about the Eternal Emperor's legacy.

They had been to this parallel world once when they were still pets. They knew that the Eternal Emperor left a house here, and they also knew that her inheritance after her suicide was left in it.

However, none of the three could find the exact location of this parallel world.

There is no need to talk about what happened afterwards. Bai Jun was the first to find the location, but was tricked by Du Tianming, resulting in him and Qin Hao being trapped here for twenty-one years.

After explaining the whole cause and effect, Bai Jun and Qin Hao lay on the ground trembling, waiting for Xiao Qingque's decision.

According to Xiao Qingque's plan, of course he would first crush to death these two little pets that had already developed rebellious hearts, and then return to reality to kill Jin Xing.

However, Shen Cheng said that the three little pets were still useful to him, so Xiao Qingque chose to spare their lives.

But the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped.

Bai Jun and Qin Hao were ordered by Xiao Qingque to give up all their rights and become Shen Cheng's servants. They needed to respect him as they respected the Eternal Emperor and obey all his orders. The duration was indefinite.

Moreover, their gender was also changed back by Xiao Qingque.

At first, all three pets were female, but when they turned into humans, they did not like their female identities, so they all turned into males.

Shen Cheng picked up three small pets for nothing, and his first order to Bai Jun and Qinghao was to ask them to lift the source blood curse.

However, Bai Jun and Qin Hao said that this curse was created by three people together, and it would take three people together to lift it, so this matter can only be accomplished after returning to reality.

After driving out the two dejected little pets, Shen Cheng asked Xiao Qingque what his next plans were.

According to the Eternal Emperor's plan, she will stay in this parallel world after her resurrection until the Lord of the Sky destroys civilization, and then she will go out again.

"You don't want me to stay here?"

Xiao Qingque thought Shen Cheng wanted her to stay, and her reaction was a bit intense: "There is nothing here, you might as well kill me instead of letting me stay."

Although she could laze around here to her heart's content, this crappy place had no internet, and she couldn't play cards or games. There was no one else but her. How was letting her stay here any different from being in jail?
"I didn't ask you to stay." Shen Cheng held Xiao Qingque's shoulders: "I was asking what your plans are for the future?"

"Just take it one step at a time, why think so much!"

Xiao Qingque looked like he was giving up. "Anyway, I can't solve the problem of civilization destruction, and I don't want to become an eternal emperor. So I might as well maintain the status quo and hide here when civilization is about to be destroyed."

Shen Cheng now somewhat understands the emotions of the Eternal Emperor in the portrait. Xiao Qingque has grown up completely crooked and has no ambition at all.

However, we cannot be too harsh on Xiao Qingque. Even Shen Cheng himself, after hearing about the existence of the Lord of the Sky and that civilization would be destroyed, he did not know what to do for a moment.

Xiao Qingque's approach of taking one step at a time may be the best option.

But there is good news. All threats to the Eternal Empire have been eliminated. From now on, Shen Cheng will not have to worry about obtaining the Eternal Blood.

Xiao Qingque generously said that he would give him as much as he wanted, and would even provide him with after-sales service to eliminate all the sequelae.

……

Ji Chan, Ning Qing and Du Tianming waited outside the gate for a whole day and night.

It was not until the next day that Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque walked out of the door.

Ji Chan, who was extremely bored, hurriedly pulled Ning Qing to kneel down, but was stopped by Xiao Qingque: "There is no need to do such a grand ceremony in the future, just something more ordinary will do."

She doesn't like being worshipped wherever she goes.

"Your Majesty is holy."

Ji Chan quickly flattered him. She didn't know the specific personality of this Eternal Emperor, but it would always be right to try to please him.

In front of the three people, Xiao Qingque returned to his original appearance and said, "I still prefer this look, and you don't reveal my identity to others."

Ji Chan said with a smile: "Don't worry, no one has ever been tighter-lipped than me."

Ning Qing looked at Xiao Qingque's face in a daze.

She still feels like she is dreaming about Xiao Qingque becoming the Eternal Emperor.

Especially when she remembered that she had actually had a threesome with the Eternal Emperor, she felt even more uncomfortable.

As for Shen Cheng who was following Xiao Qingque, both Ji Chan and Ning Qing were tactful enough not to ask what their current relationship was.

As for Du Tianming, when he saw Xiao Qingque return to his original appearance, a look of surprise finally appeared on his calm face.

Of course he knew Xiao Qingque, after all, this was the Eternal he created with his own hands.

However, his purpose in creating Xiao Qingque was just to deceive the three blood kings and let Du Haijing raise Xiao Qingque, hoping that Xiao Qingque could play some role in the future.

Apart from this, Du Tianming had no hope for Xiao Qingque and did not take her seriously in his heart.

However, he had never imagined that Xiao Qingque, whom he created with his own hands, would actually be the reincarnation of the Eternal Emperor. This was simply a huge joke played by God on him.

Such an important person appeared in his hands, but he was indifferent and missed a precious opportunity in vain.

Xiao Qingque looked at Du Tianming with cold eyes.

At first, she was very concerned about her origins and wanted to know whether Du Tianming was her father.

After knowing that Du Tianming created him just to deceive the three blood kings, his impression of him naturally plummeted.

Especially after reviving the memory of the Eternal Emperor, it became even more impossible for him to regard Du Tianming as his father.

Shen Cheng looked at Du Tianming and said, "The curse of the source blood will be lifted soon."

Du Tianming suppressed his stunned expression, pushed his glasses up on his nose, and finally spoke after remaining silent for a day and a night: "That's really good news."

Lifting the curse of the source blood was Du Tianming's original goal. Now that the goal has been achieved, he should be happy.

But there was no change in his tone or expression, making it hard to tell whether he was just being calm out of habit or simply unhappy.

"Let's go back."

Xiao Qingque no longer wanted to stay in this lifeless world.

Without waiting for Du Tianming to notify Lao Ruan, Xiao Qingque waved his hand, and everyone present felt their vision go dark, and their bodies entered a familiar feeling of weightlessness.

In the blink of an eye, everyone returned to reality, and two pets, the white cat and the sable, were brought out at the same time.

Lao Ruan, who had been standing by the lake waiting for a long time, saw this scene and showed an extremely surprised expression on his face, with his mouth open as if he wanted to say something.

However, after he looked at Du Tianming, he tactfully shut his mouth and said nothing.

Seeing everyone's surprised expressions, Xiao Qingque raised the corners of his mouth, feeling slightly proud.

This is an ability she obtained specifically from the portrait, which allows her to freely enter and exit that parallel world anytime and anywhere.

If you encounter danger in the future, just hide inside and everything will be fine.

"Let's go back to the Astrology Palace first."

Xiao Qingque gave instructions to Ji Chan and Ning Qing, and at the same time looked at Shen Cheng, asking for his opinion with his eyes.

Shen Cheng said: "Let me remove the curse of the source blood first."

Xiao Qingque nodded, then left with Ji Chan and Ning Qing. He didn't say a word to Du Tianming from beginning to end and completely ignored him.

Du Tianming also saw Xiao Qingque's rejection of him, so he certainly wouldn't try to establish a relationship with him and ask for trouble. In his opinion, it was also questionable whether Xiao Qingque, who had become the Eternal Emperor, could still maintain his original personality.

After Xiao Qingque and the other two left, Du Tianming took the initiative to speak to Shen Cheng: "I still have some things to do. I will talk to you about the Life Court later."

Shen Cheng nodded slowly and watched Du Tianming turn around and leave with Lao Ruan.

He had an urge to keep Du Tianming, because this guy was too dangerous. If he let him go, he would always have a feeling that he would continue to cause trouble.

However, Du Tianming contributed a lot to the Eternal Emperor's legacy, and he did not pose any threat to Shen Cheng. Shen Cheng could not forcibly imprison him just because he had a bad impression of him.
