“The Demon Lord is wicked and bloodthirsty, unworthy of ruling the Heavenly Realm!”
“Attack the Holy Land, slay the Demon Lord! Bring peace to all the realms!”
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
……
The sound of killing echoed through the Xuancang Holy Land.
This place was once the most sacred place for cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, but now it was in ruins with only broken walls and debris left.
Both sides of the cultivators were risking their lives, causing corpses to cover the Holy Land and blood to flow like a river.
However, what appeared outside was only the most superficial battlefield.
Inside the Zhengyang Temple, a young man dressed in black kneeled on one knee, holding a blood-stained black halberd.
The young man had an extraordinary temperament and handsome appearance, but he exuded a chilling killing intent, like a God of Death.
At this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, and he was bound by countless illusory chains. As time passed, his momentum became weaker and weaker, his death an obvious conclusion.
Even so, the hundreds of strong men surrounding him inside the temple did not dare to be careless.
Because the young man bound by chains was Jiang Zhige, the Holy Lord of Xuancang Holy land and the Great Emperor in charge of the Heavenly Realm.
……
“What’s going on?”
Feeling the commotion outside, Jiang Zhige was confused.
At the same time, a surge of memories flooded his mind.
“I’ve crossed over?!”
After experiencing the memories, Jiang Zhige quickly understood the situation and felt as if ten thousand grass-mud horses were galloping through his heart.
He had transmigrated to a fantasy novel he was reading and became the greatest villain of the heavens and all realms, the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige.
The novel mainly told the story of the protagonist Qu Yun rising from being a waste and encountering three female leads on his journey, ultimately defeating the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige.
The three female leads each had their own unique qualities and were not just decorations. They each had an indispensable role in helping Qu Yun confront the Demon Emperor. Unfortunately, due to the author’s fear of censorship, none of them had any substantial progress even when they arrived at the climax, the fight against the Demon Emperor.
At that time, many readers complained about this, and Jiang Zhige was one of them.
But that wasn’t the point now; the point was that he had traveled through time and become the Demon Emperor.
And, to top it off, his head was about to end up on the chopping block.
“What the hell is this, the beginning or the end?!”
Jiang Zhige was going crazy. If the Demon Emperor couldn’t escape his fate, then he was surely going to die without a doubt.
[Ding~ The Life Memory Editing System has been bound.]
Wait, what was that sound just now?
[Ding~ Your life is in danger. Please take action immediately.]
“Holy sh*t System!”
Jiang Zhige’s body trembled with excitement. This was indeed a standard benefit for transmigrators.
“However, the system seems to have a strange name…”
The current problem was how to use this Life Memory Editing System.
After carefully examining the system’s functions and thinking about the upcoming plot, Jiang Zhige quickly came up with a plan.
The Life Memory Editing System, as the name suggests, could rewrite the former Jiang Zhige’s memories. As long as the memories weren’t too outlandish, the edited memories could even become reality.
In the novel’s plot, Jiang Zhige was actually connected to all three female leads, but they eventually became enemies due to various reasons, and they ended up siding with the protagonist instead.
However, it was only with the help of the three female leads that the protagonist, Qu Yun, was able to survive and become successful. This was despite his cultivation only being early-stage Profound Realm.
Now, Jiang Zhige was able to edit his predecessor’s memories. If he could clear his name in the upcoming plot and even turn the three female leads to his side, Qu Yun alone wouldn’t be his match.
“Yes, that’s the plan!”
With no time to waste, Jiang Zhige didn’t have much time to think further.
…….
Inside the palace, as they saw Jiang Zhige’s life force getting weaker and weaker, many powerful beings gradually let down their guard down.
With his current power, it was impossible for Jiang Zhige to break free from his restraints.
“The despicable Demon Emperor finally gets what he deserves. It’s truly satisfying!”
“Today’s successful killing of the Demon Emperor is all thanks to Young Master Qu’s contribution.”
“Young Master Qu’s talent is exceptional, and his temperament is extraordinary. He will surely replace Jiang Zige as the emperor and take over the Heavenly Realm.”
Many powerful beings breathed a sigh of relief and praised Qu Yun one after another. They weren’t just speaking empty words; Qu Yun really had the potential to become the emperor and take over the Heavenly Realm from Jiang Zhige.
Qu Yun showed a humble expression and smiled, “You’re too kind. Even if I become the emperor in the future, I will still need the guidance of all the seniors here.”
Although he said that, a trace of pride and satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, the spiritual power chain that restrained Jiang Zhige suddenly shook and released a dazzling rainbow light.
“W-what’s going on?”
“Could it be that the Demon Emperor still has the power to resist and is getting ready to fight back before he dies?”
For a moment, everyone panicked. The person who was sealed was the Demon Emperor Jiang Zhige. This was no joking matter.
Qu Yun’s face also changed slightly. If Jiang Zhige escaped from his confinement, he would probably be the first one to suffer his revenge.
The Demon Emperor’s cultivation was sky-high, and even if Qu Yun used all his trump cards, he wouldn’t survive for more than three rounds.
“Don’t panic. Jiang Zhige has no strength to escape and will undoubtedly die within seven days. This is the miraculous effect of the Heaven-Binding Chains, which displays the lifetime memories of the target. I will display it in various places of the Heavenly Realm. As long as you’re a strong expert in the Profound Realm, you will have the opportunity to witness the Emperor’s memories.”
A clear and cold female voice came from the sky, making everyone calm down.
“Indeed, Empress Frostsong’s Heaven-Binding Chains are truly extraordinary.”
“Jiang Zhige is full of evil, but he is also a Great Emperor Realm expert. If we can gain something from his memories, it can indeed help us to better comprehend the Dao.”
“Having said that, this is probably the only thing that the Demon Emperor can do to benefit the Heavenly Realm in his lifetime.”
Everyone expressed their feelings and bowed to the sky.
The speaker was Empress Frostsong, Su Qingqiu, who controlled another realm. It was also her who controlled the Heaven-Binding Chains to lock Jiang Zhige.
“Hmph, Jiang Zhige has committed evil deeds his whole life, so what if we see his memories? They’re probably all about arson and murder.”
Just as everyone’s eyes were filled with enthusiasm, a voice filled with disgust suddenly sounded in the hall.
Everyone turned to look and found a stunning woman next to Qu Yun.
She was wearing a clean cyan dress, her skin was smooth, and her brows and eyes were like a phoenix’s. She was one of the female leads, Nangong Rou.
“It is rumored that Nangong Rou was once the Demon Emperor’s sister, but she found out that the Demon Emperor was deliberately approaching her. In the end, not only was her family’s treasure taken away, but her biological father was also killed by the Demon Emperor.”
“Killing the father and seizing the treasure, this hatred is irreconcilable. No wonder she hates the Demon Emperor so much.”
Everyone sighed. If they were in her shoes, they would also hate Jiang Zhige to the bone.
As they spoke, a layer of light and shadow slowly gathered above Jiang Zhige’s head.
After the light and shadow formed, it flew through the Zhengyang Temple and materialized in the sky above the Heavenly Realm, where it formed a large light screen.
At this moment, no matter where you were in the Heavenly Realm, you could see it clearly.
