Yingmei felt that she was full of strength at this moment. She gripped the sword tightly in her hand, ready to make Lei Dianying succumb to the wishes of the people.
Lei Dianying's face was extremely serious. She had a premonition that after gaining the power of people's wishes, Yingmei would be an extremely terrifying opponent.
In a flash, Yingmei rushed towards Lei Dianying like a flash of lightning, her speed and strength surpassing her before. Her eyes flashed with determination and resoluteness, as if nothing could stop her from moving forward.
Every move of Yingmei was as fierce as a storm, making it impossible for her to fight back. She waved her hands quickly, drawing arcs, and rushed towards Lei Dianying with a sharp gust of wind.
Lei Dianying was overwhelmed by Yingmei's fierce attack. She blocked left and right, kept retreating, and could only take a defensive stance, trying her best to avoid Yingmei's attacks.
However, despite such an unfavorable situation, Lei Film did not give up and continued to try and look for opportunities to fight back.
The battle between the two has entered a white-hot stage, and the air is filled with a strong collision of elements.
Every attack and defense was made with determination and firmness.
As the battle continued, Lei Yingying's disadvantage became more and more obvious. Her strength was gradually exhausted, and every attack became extremely difficult.
Her movements became slower and slower, and each swing of the naginata seemed weaker.
She was so tired and out of breath that she couldn't effectively resist Yingmei's attack.
The thunder wheel behind him gradually dimmed.
Finally, Yingmei seized an opportunity and knocked Lei Diandian to the ground.
Yae Shinko swayed his divine posture and walked lightly to the front of Lei Dianying who was getting up, "You lose, Ying!"
Lei Dianying struggled to stand up and sighed, "Yeah, I lost."
"Do you see the power of the people's wishes? Those wishes transcend space and time. Even you, the ruler of Inazuma, cannot stifle them."
"Son of God, have you forgotten the disaster that happened over 500 years ago? Shin, Kitsaigumi, and Torachiyo all died here! The scars they brought to Inazuma are still burning. Therefore, I promise my subjects an eternal dream."
"Ying, you are still so stubborn. Moving forward will make us lose, but it will also make us gain. For hundreds of years, I have been losing and gaining. I have seen the brilliance of fireworks blooming, and I have also experienced the loneliness after the fireworks bloom. Don't refuse to gain because you are afraid of losing."
Ueno Chishu stepped forward and looked directly at Lei Dianying, "General, I know you have lost a lot of precious things for this country. But if you stay here, you will not see new hope, and there will be no new excitement."
Lei Dianying still said stubbornly: "What you call gorgeousness and splendor is nothing but fragile illusion!"
Yae Shinko had a headache and slapped his forehead, "You are really a piece of wood! Without wishes and changes, a country that only exists is just an empty shell. Even if it is destroyed, what will be left on the ground is eternal."
"Son of God, please take back your nonsense!" Lei Dianying's tone was full of dissatisfaction and anger.
"So, you still care about your country and your people, right? If so, why don't you listen to them? Ask them what they really want? Is it a stagnant life or a positive and upward journey?"
"It doesn't matter what they want. Only eternity is closest to the law of nature, and it will never be destroyed by the law of nature."
In fact, Lei Dianying’s idea cannot be considered wrong. There is justice in this world, and any country that poses a threat to the world will be destroyed by justice, without exception.
At that time, the level of technology in Kanreya had reached an unprecedented peak in human civilization, but they were not satisfied with that. They turned their attention to taboos and gods, and constantly trampled on the rules set by heaven. Therefore, heaven and the seven gods brought down judgment.
It is because of witnessing tragedies like Kanreya that Ray Film is so persistent in his eternal faith.
"General, let me tell you a story. Perhaps you will have a new understanding of eternity." Ueno Chiki said.
My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!
"Oh?" Lei Dianying raised his eyebrows, "Then go ahead."
"A long time ago, there was a very powerful country on the continent called Qing. After several generations of monarchs pioneered and innovated, the country reached its peak. In order to make the country prosperous forever, the monarch issued a decree to close the country to the outside world, stop all communication with the outside world, and stop developing all new technologies."
When Lei Dianying heard this, he couldn't help but say, "That country should be able to prosper for thousands of years."
Ueno Chiki shook his head and continued, "In fact, no. The country was destroyed in less than two hundred years because after it stopped developing, other countries in the world continued to develop. When this country was still indulging in the old dreams, foreign powers had already used guns to pry open the country's door. After that, it was a century-long history of humiliation."
Lei Yingdian immediately retorted, "I have you, Inazuma! I will protect the safety of this country."
"Are there not enough gods who died in the Kanreya War? Gods are powerful, but can they really protect the people forever? General, please take a good look at this world. We, Inazuma, have completely derailed the development of the world. Zhidong and Fontaine are already very developed industrial countries. If they want, they can destroy us, Inazuma, at any time!"
Ueno Chiki's clear voice echoed in the pure land of one mind.
At this moment, Lei Dianying could no longer remain indifferent. She really hadn't considered this. If what he said really happened, how should Inazuma face it?
At this moment, I am no longer the strong man who can cut through the narrow space of the Wuxiang Blade with one sword.
"I admit that what you said makes sense."
Yae Shinko smiled faintly, "Ah, you are really stubborn. You actually already have the answer in your heart, but you just don't want to admit it. After all, you are the god of Inazuma, how can you admit it so easily?"
"I, I don't think so." Lei Dianying immediately retorted, but her retort was a little lacking in confidence.
"How insincere! You must be happy to see me. After all, you have been staying in this shabby place for hundreds of years. Woohoo, so pitiful."
"Son of God, stop saying such childish things."
"In short, the Eye Hunting Order and the Closure Order are to be rescinded immediately, and your Eternal Justice is to be revised as well."
Lei Dianying nodded, "The Traveler defeated me, and I promise to abolish the Eye Hunting Order and the National Closure Order. As for the rest, we'll talk about it in the future."
Chapter 75 A new beginning
In the early morning of winter, the cold wind is as sharp as a knife, and the cold seems to pierce into people's bones.
However, this did not stop the enthusiasm in people's hearts.
In front of the gate of Yaedo, the queue was like a dragon, winding and stretching all the way to the end of Hanamizaka. People were waiting, waiting for the latest hot novel to be released, which was a chance for them to immerse themselves in another world.
There are probably two reasons for this situation. One is that light novels are one of the few forms of entertainment that ordinary people can afford. The other is that the novel "Night Shift Ward: The Threatened Deputy Head Nurse" is really too explosive.
Among the crowd, there was a pure and lovely blonde girl who was particularly eye-catching, and there was a flying creature next to her.
"Travelers, I always feel that people look at us strangely." Paimon noticed these strange looks and spoke.
"Of course, I'm a famous traveler." Yingmei put her hands on her hips, feeling very good about herself.
Paimon quickly shook his hands, "I don't think it's because of this."
"What else could it be? It can't be because I was waiting in line to buy the novel."
As they were talking, Yingmei lined up at the counter, waved her hand, and shouted, "Kuroda, give me a copy of "Night Shift Ward: The Coerced Deputy Head Nurse"!"
Kuroda was completely stunned. Many people came to him to buy novels, but she was the first one who shouted out the name of this novel so confidently, and she was a girl.
He quickly took out a novel wrapped in white paper from the back and handed it over.
"How much Mora?" Yingmei took out her purse and prepared to pay.
Kuroda waved his hand, "Traveler, with your special relationship with Qianshu, you don't have to pay?"
"Ah? What does this have to do with Qianshu?" Yingmei looked confused.
Only then did Kuroda realize that he had let the cat out of the bag. The author of "Night Shift Ward: The Threatened Deputy Head Nurse" was a toy merchant from Zhidong and had nothing to do with Chiki Ueno.
"Qianshu and I are very good friends, and you are his girlfriend." He explained hurriedly.
Yingmei's face suddenly turned red like a boiling kettle, and steam continued to come out of her head, "Hey, girlfriend."
Paimon looked at her silly look and felt that something was wrong. It was obvious that Yingmei had fallen in love with Ueno Chiki.
Ueno Chiki is a little poor, but he has a good personality and is good at taking care of people. Most importantly, he can cook!
Her cooking skills are far inferior to Xiangling's, but she is not as funny as Xiangling, always making some very strange ingredients for her and the Traveler to eat. When she was in Liyue, she and the Traveler ate the sticks of the hillbillies, the gel of the slimes, the fragments of the armor of the young dragon lizard...
Yingmei put the novel into her space backpack and left Yaedang with Paimon.
At this moment, a hurried voice suddenly came from the street, "Hurry to the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed Statue, there will be a duel in front of the emperor!"
"Duel in front of the emperor?" Yingmei couldn't help but feel a little curious, as she herself had participated in a duel in front of the emperor.
"Traveler, let's go and take a look together!" Paimon was also very curious and wanted to see the excitement.
........
On the wooden platform of the Thousand-armed and Hundred-eyed statue, a red-robed warrior looked at his opponent indifferently, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Not far away, Lei Dianying and Kujo Sara stood facing the wind. The duel in front of the emperor was solemn and sacred, but at this moment, both of them looked very impatient.
"Sara, this is the nth time he has initiated a duel in front of the emperor?" Lei Dianying asked somewhat depressed.
Kujo Sara replied helplessly, "This is the fifth time, General, why don't we change the rules of the duel in front of the emperor?"
"Let me think about this." Lei Dianying hesitated for a moment, but finally rejected Kujo Sara's suggestion. Because the duel in front of the emperor was also part of her eternal rules. If she changed this rule, wouldn't it prove that her eternal life was wrong?
The duel on the field ended quickly, and the red warrior defeated his opponent with just one sword.
Kujo Sara took a look, walked up to the stage, and announced loudly, "In this duel before the emperor, Uehito wins. The loser, Hiiragi Shinsuke, will be sentenced to death."
Youren nodded in satisfaction and put the katana back into his scabbard in a cool manner.
After the victory, he did not leave here, but shouted to General Lei Dian, "General, I formally challenge Ying Sijin, the commander of Tianling, to a duel in front of the emperor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the fire in Kujo Sara's eyes was about to burst out, "Youren, are you done yet? You have already initiated five duels in front of the emperor this month!"
"You are anxious! But don't be anxious yet." Youren picked his ears and felt very relaxed.
"Don't go too far, or I will challenge you to the Imperial Court!" Kujo Sara said angrily.
"Then you line up first. There are many people I want to duel with in front of me. I will let you know when it is your turn."
"Youren, what exactly does it take to satisfy you?"
“Satisfied?” The cynical Yu Ren immediately changed into a different person, and said seriously, “Then why don’t you ask Kanjo Bugyo Hiiragi Shinsuke to what extent he would be satisfied with the exploitation of the people?
This year, 80% of the grain was collected from farmers during the autumn harvest. Have you ever asked about this?
I came here to seek justice on behalf of the people, and now you ask me if I am satisfied?"
At this point, he raised his voice and said, "Then let me tell you, I will never be satisfied until justice is done!"
After hearing his words, the audience was excited and applauded. Previously, because Ueno Chiki had caused him not to participate in the duel in front of the emperor, he was ridiculed by the audience as a coward.
However, now the people regard him as a hero, and the people in the underworld call him "Inazuma Judge."
Uehito touched his head a little embarrassedly. It was Ueno Chiki's idea to constantly challenge high-ranking officials such as Tenryo Bugyo and Kanjo Bugyo to duels in front of the emperor. He was also the one who taught him to say these words.
Seeing this scene, Kujo Sara couldn't help but feel a little headache, "Youren, punishing the two magistrates should be decided by the general."
You Ren sneered, "The general has made up his mind? So the result is that Kujo Takayuki and Hiiragi Shinsuke will be imprisoned for life, and the rest of them will go back to reflect?"
"Well, the punishment is a bit light, but..."
"Don't mention buts. The general's kindness to the nobles is cruelty to the people," Youren interrupted her directly. "Since the two great magistrates can use the rules, why can't I use the rules? Is Inazuma the Inazuma of the nobles or the Inazuma of the people?"
Lei Dianying's face was frosty. Although she was a little far away from the two people, as a god, how could she not hear their conversation clearly?
Youren’s words touched her deeply.
