Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Human, you are very kind." The voice of the Golden Sandshrew was deep and rich. "I don't tell you the whereabouts of the treasure because it is full of curses."

Liu Ruyan was stunned. "Curse?"

"Yes, that treasure was left by an evil wizard in ancient times. He sealed his soul in the treasure. Anyone who gets the treasure will be controlled by him and become his puppet."

Liu Ruyan was shocked, "Then... then isn't His Majesty in danger?"

"Yes, if he gets the treasure, it will bring disaster to the entire Ming Dynasty."

Liu Ruyan fell into deep thought. How could she stop Chu Ze?

Chu Ze's desire for the treasure became stronger and stronger. He thought about it day and night and couldn't sleep or eat. He even began to suspect that Liu Ruyan knew the whereabouts of the treasure and deliberately didn't tell him.

"Ruyan, tell me honestly, do you know where the treasure is?" Chu Ze's tone was cold, his eyes full of suspicion.

Liu Ruyan's heart trembled. She knew that if she told Chu Ze the truth, Chu Ze would definitely not believe it and would become even more suspicious of her.

"Your Majesty, I really don't know." Liu Ruyan lowered her head, not daring to look directly into Chu Ze's eyes.

Chu Ze sneered, "I don't believe it! You must be lying to me! Someone, lock her up!"

Liu Ruyan was imprisoned in the cold palace, and Chu Ze's love for her gradually dissipated along with his desire for the treasure.

He came to the place where the golden-armored sandalbone was imprisoned again, "Tell me! Where is the treasure! Otherwise I will kill you!"

The golden-armored sandalbeast still refused to speak. Chu Ze lost his patience, drew his sword, and stabbed the golden-armored sandalbeast.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan suddenly appeared and stood in front of the golden-armored sandalwood beast.

"Your Majesty, no!"

The sword pierced Liu Ruyan's body and blood gushed out.

Chu Ze was stunned. He looked at Liu Ruyan lying in a pool of blood, his eyes filled with shock and regret.

"Ruyan!"

Liu Ruyan smiled weakly, "Your Majesty...I...I just...don't want...Your Majesty...to be...cursed..."

After saying that, Liu Ruyan closed her eyes.

The golden-armored sandalbone looked at this scene, with a trace of sadness in its eyes. It growled, and its body suddenly burst into dazzling light...

After the dazzling light, the golden-armored sandalbeast disappeared, leaving behind a scale that shone with a strange luster. Chu Ze stood there blankly, still holding the bloody sword in his hand. Liu Ruyan's body lay at his feet, like a fallen rose, shocking.

Huge sorrow and regret surged into his heart like a tide. Chu Ze knelt on the ground, hugged Liu Ruyan's cold body tightly, and cried bitterly. He never thought that his greed for treasure would kill his most beloved woman.

"Ruyan... Ruyan... I was wrong... I was really wrong..." Chu Ze's voice was hoarse, tears blurred his vision. He held Liu Ruyan's hand tightly, as if he wanted to pull her back from the abyss of death.

However, it was too late. Liu Ruyan's body gradually turned cold, and her smile was forever frozen at that moment, full of tenderness and sadness.

Chu Ze's heart seemed to be hollowed out, empty, and filled with endless pain and despair. He held Liu Ruyan's body in his arms, calling her name over and over in the empty hall, like a lost child who had lost his only support.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Ze finally stopped crying. He slowly stood up, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent.

"I will let the whole world be buried with her!" Chu Ze's voice was low and hoarse, like a devil from hell.

He picked up the scale left by the golden-armored sandalbone and held it tightly in his hand. He knew that this scale must be related to the treasure. Chu Ze buried Liu Ruyan's body in the imperial mausoleum and ordered the whole country to mourn. He locked himself in the palace, refusing to eat or drink, and staying awake. Liu Ruyan's figure kept appearing in his mind.

Three days later, Chu Ze finally walked out of the palace. His face was pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.

"Pass on my decree. From today on, the Ming Dynasty will declare war on the whole world!"

Chu Ze's voice was cold and ruthless, echoing throughout the palace.

The court officials were all stunned. They didn't understand why the emperor suddenly made such a decision.

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" An old minister knelt down tremblingly. "Now the treasury is empty and the troops are insufficient. If we rashly start a war, I'm afraid it will..."

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!" Chu Ze interrupted the old minister coldly, "I want the whole world to be buried with Ruyan!"

Chu Ze's madness frightened the court officials. They knew that the current emperor was no longer the wise and powerful monarch he used to be.

However, no one dared to disobey Chu Ze's orders.

The cavalry of the Ming Dynasty traveled to every corner of the world. Chu Ze led the army in person, conquering cities and territories. He used blood and killing to commemorate his dead lover.

One year later, the flag of the Ming Dynasty was planted on the highest peak in the world. Chu Ze stood on the top of the mountain, looking down at the whole world, his eyes filled with endless sadness and emptiness.

He got everything he wanted, but lost what was most precious to him.

"Ruyan, I have avenged you..." Chu Ze murmured to himself, his voice full of fatigue and despair.

The scale in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, then turned into a stream of light and shot into Chu Ze's eyebrows.

Chu Ze's body began to change. His skin became as hard as steel, his eyes glowed red, and his strength became incomparably strong.

He became a truly invincible being.

However, his heart felt even emptier and more painful.

He gained power but lost his soul.

He became a zombie, a machine that knew only killing.

He conquered the world, but lost himself.

Just as Chu Ze stood at the top of the world, overlooking the mountains and rivers he had conquered, a mysterious man in a black cloak appeared behind him.

"You finally got the power you wanted," the mysterious man said in a low and hoarse voice, "Now, it's time to fulfill your promise."

Chu Ze turned around slowly, staring at the mysterious man with cold red eyes, "What promise?"

The mysterious man sneered, "Have you forgotten? You once promised me that you would exchange your soul for this power."

Some fragments suddenly flashed through Chu Ze's mind. He remembered that after Liu Ruyan's death, he had met this mysterious man on a dark night.

At that time, he was consumed by grief and despair, and he was willing to give up everything in exchange for the power of revenge.

"Now, it's your turn to pay your debt." The mysterious man stretched out his hand, and black mist poured out from his hand, enveloping Chu Ze. (End of this chapter)
