Chapter 485: On the Harm of Dabi Fight to Children
Energy, and possibly
directly please her, then
leave enough in the consciousness
before kindness is established.
The only trouble now
is that this woman has
always remained silent,
never having made any
responses to anyone; even
her existence or non-existence
could not be confirmed by anyone.
So, in the end, what
method to use to awaken
that woman is the most
difficult problem facing everyone.
They thought for a long time,
basically trying all
methods they could think of,
even attempting to awaken
that girl by sacrificing life,
but still there was no response.
Now many people are
starting to slowly believe
that she may have truly
perished, or perhaps, has
long since left this collection of consciousness
and gone to a more vast place.
But for some absolute believers,
they still persevere.
Their queen is still there,
merely asleep, and they are
waiting for the queen to awaken from her slumber.
Wang Jing quietly watched
the stone statue of that girl,
as if speaking something to the statue,
but clearly, the sleeping stone had no reaction.
Behind her were several people
wearing gray robes, covering
their bodies tightly; they were
all Wang Jing’s most devout believers,
and the only living people here now.
“Master, what should we do now? We’ve been waiting here for a long time. If the Royal Maiden doesn’t wake up soon, we might be wiped out by those heretics outside. We only have a little combat power left, and we can’t contend with those heretical churches in terms of combat or logistics.”
“Moreover, the divine power in the church is still slowly increasing. We don’t have much time.” an old man said to Wang Jing in a hoarse voice.
Wang Jing did not turn around, but replied faintly, “She is here, just sleeping.”
“But the Royal Maiden has been sleeping for too long. We have waited for thousands of years, and she still shows no signs of waking up. Do you really think she can wake up?”
A young man finally couldn’t help but start asking Wang Jing his doubts.
Upon hearing this question, Wang Jing finally turned her head and faced the young Divine Officer.
“She will wake up, my child.
I can feel her presence, she is with us at all times.
This millennia of deep sleep may be just a blink of an eye for her.
It’s just that now, she is using sleep to recover from her injuries and gather enough energy to ensure she has enough strength to face all the forces in the current world when she awakens.” Wang Jing answered these believers’ questions with a very confident tone.
The believers did not refute further. After all, Wang Jing was now the strongest person here and the one they respected the most, so they believed every word she said.
But they also knew how critical their current situation was.
If the Royal Maiden did not wake up soon, they might really be slaughtered by the church.
Now, they could only hope to receive a response from the Royal Maiden, even just a trace, as long as it let them know the Royal Maiden was still here.
At this time, Wang Jing also began to close her eyes, gathering all her power to try and communicate with her queen.
This was also a tradition they had always maintained.
Every day, she would use all her strength to try and contact her queen’s consciousness. As long as she could get even a little response, that would be the reason for all of them to persevere.
Unfortunately, in all these thousands of years, she had never succeeded.
But this time, something seemed different.
She seemed to hear a very faint sound, which vanished in an instant, but she was certain she had not misheard.
Wang Jing suddenly opened her eyes and shouted to the people behind her, “Go! Lure those heretics here and sacrifice them to the Royal Maiden!”
The crowd did not hesitate and immediately moved to make sacrifices for their queen.
Wang Jing herself did not stand idly by. She immediately led some believers to another room—a room specifically used for storing supplies.
This room was not large, but it was filled with all sorts of strangely shaped items, all of which were specifically used for sacrifices to the Royal Maiden.
Wang Jing’s purpose in coming to this room was to see if there was anything that could be directly used for offerings.
In the corner of the room, a girl locked in a cage was trembling.
“Oh, there’s actually another heretic woman here. Not bad.” Wang Jing looked at the girl, a satisfied smile on her face.
This girl was a believer in the church, who got lost by chance and was captured by these believers to be sacrificed to their queen.
Wang Jing suddenly raised her hand, and the cage flew out on its own. The girl inside fell to the ground and kowtowed to Wang Jing, begging for mercy.
“The Royal Maiden will not awaken; she has already been destroyed by our church!” the woman said, kowtowing, delivering news that angered everyone.
But Wang Jing seemed unaffected, still with a faint smile on her face.
“Go tell your Pope that she is alive.”
Wang Jing squatted down, slowly stroking the girl’s head. “Spread this news as your reward for staying alive.”
The girl suddenly raised her head, a look of terror on her face. She knew that if this news got out, she would definitely be punished by the Pope, and might even be executed.
But the desire to live gave her a glimmer of hope, and she finally nodded to Wang Jing.
“Go, do your best to get this news to the church.”
Wang Jing let the girl go, her smile slowly fading.
She knew that once this girl returned, she would surely be punished by the church, but she didn’t care, because what she needed now was a medium to spread the news of her queen’s survival to the entire church.
Not long after Wang Jing left, the girl was captured by the church and subjected to extremely severe punishment.
However, the girl did not reveal any information about this secret, because she knew that if she did, it might bring greater disaster.
The church finally learned that the queen, who had slept for thousands of years, showed signs of awakening again.
This news also shocked the high-ranking officials of the church. They knew that if that queen truly awoke, then everything they had done might be in vain, and they might even face the fate of annihilation.
So the church immediately began to take measures to completely destroy the queen before she could awaken.
At this time, Wang Jing also came to another room, a room specifically for storing energy.
This room contained a huge amount of energy, which was what allowed them to persist here for so long.
But now, this energy was also slowly being consumed.
Wang Jing’s purpose in coming to this room was to see if there was any way to gather the energy in this room more quickly for sacrifice to the queen.
However, the energy in this room could not be used directly. It needed to be converted through a unique ritual to be absorbed by the queen.
And this ritual also required a considerable amount of time to complete.
Wang Jing could only wait patiently.
But she knew she had to speed up the ritual.
Because she had already heard footsteps from outside.
Those heretics had arrived.
“It seems there isn’t enough time, so there’s only one way that’s faster.” A strange smile appeared on Wang Jing’s face.
This method was to sacrifice life to obtain enough energy, and this energy could allow the queen to awaken.
Wang Jing walked out of the room and faced her believers.
“My children, the Royal Maiden is about to awaken, but she needs more energy. So what we need to do now is to use our lives to supply the energy needed for the Royal Maiden’s awakening.”
The believers also did not hesitate. They immediately knelt on one knee, their faces covered in fanatical smiles.
“We are willing to lay down our lives for the Queen!”
Then they began the sacrificial ritual.
One by one, they walked to the front of the energy room and, with a special dagger, pierced their own hearts fiercely.
Their blood began to flow out, forming a stream of blood, which then slowly poured into the energy room.
The energy in the room began to increase rapidly.
Wang Jing looked at these believers with a faint smile on her face.
She knew that these believers were the most devout and the most willing to dedicate everything for her.
After all the believers had finished their sacrifices, Wang Jing finally came to the front of the energy room.
She also took out her dagger and plunged it fiercely into her own chest.
She also began to dedicate her life to her queen.
And the energy began to surge towards the sleeping queen at a visible speed.
The sleeping stone statue of the queen also began to emit a faint glow.
This light was not very strong, but it brought an incomparable warmth to everyone.
And the sleeping stone statue of the queen began to crack slowly.
A woman walked out of the stone statue.
She was wearing a white dress, her face showing fatigue, but she still maintained that eternal beauty.
Her appearance shocked everyone.
The believers began to cheer wildly.
“Your Majesty, you have finally awakened!”
The queen then began to survey everything around her, finally resting her gaze on Wang Jing.
“You did very well.” The queen’s voice was not as imagined, but rather hoarse, as if she had been sleeping for too long.
A wry smile appeared on Wang Jing’s face. She knew her time was running out.
She slowly pulled the dagger from her hand, letting her blood flow onto the ground.
“Your Majesty, this place is now surrounded by heretics. You must leave here quickly.” Wang Jing’s face showed a trace of worry.
The queen said nothing, but reached out and gently stroked Wang Jing’s head.
“Your sacrifice is the most precious gift to me.” The queen’s voice was gentle.
A satisfied smile appeared on Wang Jing’s face. Finally, she let go of the last lingering obsession in her heart and slowly closed her eyes.
And her body slowly turned into a pool of blood, merging with the blood on the ground.
The queen watched all this without any expression, just watching quietly.
And her body began to emit an incomparably powerful energy fluctuation.
And this energy fluctuation began to spread outwards at a visible speed.
Those heretics who were rushing towards this place finally felt this powerful energy fluctuation.
Their faces turned pale.
“What is this?!” they exclaimed, fear on their faces.
But they could only steel themselves and rush towards this place.
And the queen finally set her sights on those intruders.
“You’re finally here? My people.” A cold smile appeared on the queen’s face.
And her body began to emit a powerful force, which began to spread towards the intruders at a visible speed.
The intruders had no power to resist and were instantly swallowed by this power.
The queen did not stop, her power began to spread to farther places.
She wanted everyone to know that she had awakened.
And she also wanted everyone to know that those who dared to challenge her authority would not have a good end.
Her power finally reached the ears of the church.
The Pope heard the news, fear appearing on his face.
He knew that all this was irreversible.
And that queen would become their greatest nightmare.
But they had no choice but to steel themselves and rush towards the queen’s direction.
They knew this was their only hope.
If they could destroy this queen, then they could achieve ultimate victory.
But they also knew this was impossible.
Because the queen’s power had grown to a level they could not imagine.
They could only head towards the queen with a sliver of hope.
They knew it was time for the decisive battle.
And after Wang Jing’s body completely disappeared, the queen slowly raised her head and looked into the distance.
A hint of confusion appeared in her eyes. She didn’t know if all this was real or a dream.
She also didn’t know what she should do next.
She only knew that her people were waiting for her.
And she had to do something.
Her body began to slowly rise, flying into the distance.
She wanted to see what this world had become.
And her departure plunged this place back into silence.
Only a pool of blood remained, shimmering with a strange light on the ground.
This was also their last evidence, proving that a fierce battle had taken place here.
And this battle would completely change the pattern of this world.
After the queen left, the bodies of the believers also began to disappear slowly. Their souls were absorbed by the queen.
This was their final destination.
And their lives would forever remain here, becoming the queen’s eternal power.
And her power would forever protect this land.
This land would forever belong to that queen.
And all this would become an eternal legend, passed down by word of mouth.
Everyone would know that the queen, who had slept for thousands of years, had finally awakened.
And she would lead her people to achieve ultimate victory.
And this story would be passed down forever.
