World-Ending Demon Emperor

Chapter 1636: 725: Meng Tuoluo's Shock, Power Surges!

Chapter 1636: Chapter 725: Meng Tuoluo’s Shock, Power Surges!

“Lanling achieved a great victory, the entire army of the Demon Lord was annihilated…” Prince You Ming repeated word for word once again.

Meng Tuoluo shuddered.

Then, she instinctively stopped breathing.

Immediately, everything before her eyes darkened, the world spun, as if she couldn’t stand on her own.

After the news of Lanling’s victory spread, everyone’s reactions were different.

Elder Mokan initially doubted it thoroughly, and after confirming it, he immediately spat blood and fainted.

Prince You Ming, after a brief shock, calmed down quickly, analyzed the gains and losses, and made corresponding actions.

The Little Rakshasa King was incomparably excited, because he felt his ideals were not destroyed.

Empress Ni Shang was so overjoyed that she collapsed to the ground, feeling like a survivor of a catastrophe, and she was the one least concerned about why Lanling won, only caring about her beloved husband.

Princess Sha Yan, in her frenzy, exhausted her last bit of energy.

As for Meng Tuoluo, she felt alternately hot and cold, the world spun around her, but she didn’t actually faint.

Her emotions were more complex, fear, dread, hatred, and some regret.

Who cared most about Lanling’s victory or defeat?

Only two people, one was the Little Rakshasa King, as it concerned his faith, the highest ideal he inherited.

And the other was Meng Tuoluo, because it was also about faith.

What did Meng Tuoluo believe in? She believed in herself, was confident that her choices were not wrong, and was willing to pay any price for it.

However, it seemed a voice kept telling her, your choice was wrong, your belief was wrong. Abandoning your fiancé and shifting your affections to Ji Mengbai was wrong. Later betraying Lanling and choosing the Motuo Empire was also wrong.

The most terrifying thing for a person is not death, but having everything from the past completely denied.

The Demon Lord’s forces, which were supposedly a hundred times that of Lanling, were still annihilated.

This means Lanling really is the destined World-Ending Demon Emperor, then… that means her choice, from the very beginning, was wrong.

The root of her tragedy doesn’t lie with others, not even this world, but herself.

Following that, Meng Tuoluo felt as if her head would explode, she wanted to faint with every pang, but held on each time.

This feeling was extremely agonizing, even unable to faint.

It was truly a pitiful persistence, inappropriate stubbornness.

After quite some time, Meng Tuoluo said, “Lanling… how did he win? Because he shouldn’t have won?”

Prince You Ming said, “A million Skeleton Legion emerged from the ground and decimated the two million strong Demon Lord’s army. And this million-strong Skeleton Legion was summoned by Lanling.”

Meng Tuoluo felt dizzy again, her limbs chilled to stiffness, further proving that theory.

The so-called World-Ending Demon Emperor wasn’t just a ploy by the Dragon Temple, perhaps not the useless descendant of the Dragon Emperor, perhaps… truly the Demon Emperor?

Meng Tuoluo said, “Where did this million-strong Skeleton Legion come from?”

Prince You Ming said, “I don’t know. Based on my speculation, it might have something to do with the Forbidden Army of the Ghost King Empire back then. Legend has it that when the Ghost King Empire fell, a million of their most loyal Forbidden Army vanished. As for why they could be summoned by Lanling, it’s unknown.”

Meng Tuoluo held her forehead, found a chair, and sat down.

Prince You Ming looked at her, sneered, “It’s still not too late to regret. Based on my understanding of that Crown Prince brother of mine. If he couldn’t tolerate you, he would have killed you already, not waited until you entered my door. So if you apologize to him now, assure him you won’t waver again, he would surely forgive you.”

Meng Tuoluo shivered…

Yes, can she still turn back?

What is the relationship between the Little Rakshasa King and Lanling? If the Little Rakshasa King forgives her, will Lanling forgive her?

Maybe he will!

Another choice lies before her, once she approaches the Little Rakshasa King for forgiveness, it’s a form of regret, a way back.

But holding firm, continuing to side with Prince You Ming, means not regretting, and walking down the path one chose without looking back.

Meng Tuoluo wavered slightly.

Because this might be her last chance, the last chance to reclaim her destiny?

So, if Meng Tuoluo decides to apologize to the Little Rakshasa King now, what would the outcome be?

The Little Rakshasa King would easily forgive her.

Not because he has no principles, but because Meng Tuoluo is an insignificant character; her only role is being a pawn for Princess Na Xue. That’s right, a pawn, not even a bridge between Princess Na Xue and the Little Rakshasa King.

And Lanling regards the Little Rakshasa King as his only confidant, with immense guilt towards him.

Once the Little Rakshasa King forgives Meng Tuoluo, then Lanling would, without hesitation, forgive her.

So, it’s really simple for Meng Tuoluo to win them back, just apologize to the Little Rakshasa King.

However, once she decides to apologize to the Little Rakshasa King, it means going back, a total negation of all her previous persistence.

It’s equivalent to telling herself that her previous choices were wrong, abandoning her fiancé was wrong, choosing Ji Mengbai was wrong, the tragedies she endured were deserved, stemming from her own character flaws.

It’s harder to make a person completely deny everything about themselves than to make them commit suicide!
