Then let them offer their loyalty!

Her tone was low, cool, and flat, yet it clearly pierced through the surrounding noise of the wind and reached their ears.

"Based on my understanding of my father."

"Once the seven days are up, given his vengeful nature and the fact that he has regained his full strength, he will definitely turn around and start hunting us down."

As she spoke, she examined her condition internally and said, "I fought my father today and was seriously injured. I definitely won't be able to recover for at least seven days."

"And the minor injuries you two just sustained, even if they heal, will hardly pose a threat to him."

At this point, she looked up, her eyes filled with vigilance, "So... we don't have much time left."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, the expressions on the faces of God King Yanhao and God King Lillard immediately became even more solemn.

Clearly, they knew that Princess Huiming was right.

The Flame King scratched his messy, fiery red hair in frustration, the flames on his body flickering with his emotions.

Lillard, however, took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his agitation, and then asked, "So what do we do next?"

He tentatively asked, "Since we can't fight against the tyrant, why don't we go and align ourselves with order, or... chaos?"

He paused for a moment before saying, "In the entire ancient continent, only the two of them can stand against the tyrant."

Upon hearing their conversation, Princess Huiming, who was usually quick-witted, inexplicably fell silent.

She neither objected nor nodded in agreement. She simply stood there quietly, lost in thought.

She remained silent for a full five minutes. Then, as if she had made a decision, her eyes became incredibly resolute.

She looked at the two of them, then spoke with an air of authority.

"Actually, there's another option..."

"Do you want to take a gamble?"

"A bet?" Upon hearing her words, Lillard and the Flame King frowned slightly, then looked at Huiming and asked, "What kind of bet?"

Hearing their words, Princess Huiming did not answer directly. Instead, she waved her hand, and the next second, a woman slowly walked out from the army of her followers.

The woman was stunningly beautiful, with an aloof and detached air about her, as if she were completely out of place in the world.

She wore a simple blue Taoist robe, and her long, jet-black hair was casually tied up with a single wooden hairpin, yet it exuded an indescribable Taoist charm.

What is most striking are her eyes. They are deep and captivating, as if countless stars within them revolve, rise and fall according to some mysterious trajectory.

It was...

The Stargazing God King.

Upon seeing the Stargazing God King, Lillard and Yan Hao frowned even more deeply, clearly guessing what the Radiant Princess intended to do.

Sure enough... at that moment, Princess Huiming's voice rang in their ears, "I bet... I will embark on the path to supreme power within seven days..."

Chapter 967 Radiant Fate: I Will Sacrifice Myself (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, both God-King Lillard and God-King Yanhao were visibly startled.

Clearly, even though the three had secretly formed an alliance, they were unaware of Princess Huiming's true strength.

However, this did not prevent the two battle-hardened high-ranking god-kings from sensing something unusual in Princess Huiming's actions just now.

Therefore, their gazes, without prior agreement, bypassed Princess Huiming and fell upon the Star Gazing God King beside her, who remained silent and ethereal.

The thoughtful look in Lillard's eyes deepened. After a moment, he broke the silence, asking in a low voice, "Radiant Fate, are you still preparing to embark on the supreme path of 'Destruction'?"

Clearly, he had guessed something.

As he expected, Princess Huiming shook her head slightly upon hearing his words, her dark eyes remaining completely calm.

"No."

Two words: decisive and efficient.

Princess Huiming paused for a moment, then looked deeply at Lillard and said, "It's mysterious."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, God-King Lillard and God-King Yanhao were visibly startled once again.

A mysterious path!?

If Princess Huiming said she wanted to retrace the path of destruction to the highest realm, King Lillard and King Yanhao might not be too surprised.

After all, the new generation of gods on the ancient continent might not know the secrets of that time, but these two, as high-level god-kings of the path of destruction, knew all too well what had happened back then.

Princess Huiming was a favored daughter of heaven who had once embarked on the path to the highest realm.

However, he was later forced by the Destruction Tyrant to abandon his cultivation level, and then he fell down.

Therefore, having already experienced success once, it shouldn't be a big problem for her to embark on the path of destruction again.

However, Princess Huiming said that she was about to embark on the supreme path of a mysterious route. That was a bit frightening.

After all, the mysterious path is one of the three lowest paths that no high-level god-king has ever taken to reach the supreme path!

Who knows if this path to the highest realm truly exists?

Therefore, entrusting their lives and fortunes to a path that has never been tested before, both King Lillard and King Yanhao inevitably felt somewhat apprehensive.

Thinking this, the always outspoken Yan Hao God King finally couldn't hold back any longer. His fiery eyes were fixed on Princess Huiming, and then he asked,

Why choose a secretive route?

"The path of destruction is the one you've already proven; why take the long way around?"

Princess Huiming remained expressionless upon hearing Yan Hao's question.

Today's shared struggle has proven that the two high-ranking god-kings are trustworthy people, so Princess Huiming didn't keep them in suspense.

She said calmly, "Because... I can no longer return to the supreme path of 'Destruction'."

She raised her hand, her slender fingers pointing to the Star Gazing God King standing beside her. Then she began to explain.

"Do you think that a tyrant, given his character, would leave behind a threat that could surpass him at any time?"

"He didn't kill me because I'm his daughter. Otherwise, he would never have shown any mercy."

Upon hearing this, Lillard and the Flame King fell silent. They knew better than anyone the tyrant's cruelty and paranoia.

Princess Huiming glanced at the two of them, then continued, "So, not long after I embarked on the path to the highest, the tyrant personally took action and suppressed me."

"He didn't kill me, but instead used a far more vicious method to strip me of all my cultivation and realm on the 'Path of Destruction.'"

Her voice remained cold, and her face showed little expression, as if she were recounting a past event that had nothing to do with her.

"Then, he split me in two."

Princess Huiming slowly moved her fingers from the Star Gazing God King to her own heart.

“One is the main body, which retains the integrity of the soul, but its realm has been destroyed, and it has to start all over again.” She was referring to the Star Gazing God King.

“The other one…” She paused, her gaze sweeping over the shocked faces of the two god-kings, “is me. A high-level god-king ‘puppet’ who bore part of his laws of destruction, was personally refined by him, and whose realm was permanently solidified.”

puppet!

These two words struck Lillard and Yan Hao like a thunderclap.

They stared at Princess Huiming with disbelief in their eyes.

Over the years, they had dealt with Princess Huiming countless times, but they had never imagined, and could never have imagined, that the living, breathing Princess Huiming, whom they even feared, was actually a puppet whose cultivation was locked!

This is simply the most absurd thing in the history of the ancient continent.

Princess Huiming took in the expressions of the two of them. A hint of sadness appeared on her exquisite and cold face, which was as exquisite as a creation of a god, but she quickly concealed it.

She concluded, "How can a puppet whose cultivation and realm have long been nailed down re-emerge on that severed path to the highest realm?"

The night wind howled, but the desolate slope was deathly silent.

Despite the shock of the two high-ranking god-kings, Princess Huiming paid no attention, speaking as if she were talking about someone else's affairs.

She began to speak.

"Of course... even so, over the years, I have never given up on finding a way to reunite the two souls and the two bodies."

Her voice pulled Lillard and Yan Hao back from their daze.

Then she said in a flat tone,

"Fortunately, I found it later."

She said, "The only way is to embark on the path to the highest."

Her gaze shifted between the Star Gazing God King and herself. "When one of me, whether the main body or the puppet, can reach that supreme realm, I will gain the power to reshape the rules and reverse cause and effect."

"By then, our torn souls will naturally be healed, and our separated bodies will truly be reunited."

At this point, Princess Huiming paused for a moment, and then said,

"It is because I found a way to restore my body that I have never given up my research on the path to the highest realm all these years."

"Although my foundation on the 'Path of Destruction' has been destroyed, and that path is completely blocked for me, I have been diligently researching the 'Mystic Path' all these years."

She looked at the two god-kings, her majestic eyes gleaming. "Perhaps because of my experience of once striving and embarking on the path to the supreme, I have gradually... come up with some ideas and thoughts."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's words, God-King Lillard and God-King Yanhao exchanged a glance.

After a moment, the more cautious King Lillard spoke first in a deep voice, "So... how confident are you?"

Princess Huiming did not answer the question directly.

Her deep eyes swept over the two of them, and she asked directly, "Let's not talk about how confident I am. I just want to ask, do we have any other options?"

At this point, she seemed to recall Lillard's earlier suggestion, so she paused for a moment before explaining,

"Now, the only ones who can stand up to the tyrant head-on are the Order of Heaven and the Chaos Witch."

"The order of the heavens goes without saying."

"Since he merged with the 'Heavenly Dao,' he himself has become part of the rules. This has rendered him devoid of any living emotion, leaving only cold calculation."

"Moreover... his path is also very special."

He always believed that, with the passage of time, the "Heavenly Dao" that had merged with him would gradually cover the entire ancient continent, allowing him to subtly and silently change the world, and even achieve supreme power.

"This has led him to be conservative and cautious in everything he does over the years. He doesn't like to get into conflicts with other parties."

"not to mention....."

At this point, Princess Huiming glanced at Lillard and Yan Hao, her face devoid of any emotion, "We are those who have betrayed the royal court."

“In his eyes, we are the ones who ‘disrupt the order.’ How could he possibly fight against the tyrant of destruction and start a war between the two paths for our sake?”

"It's already good enough that he didn't kick us when we were down and helped the destructive tyrant set things right."

Upon hearing this, the Divine King Yan Hao nodded involuntarily, clearly having a deep understanding of the way of doing things in the Heavenly Evolution of Order.

"As for the Witch of Chaos," Princess Radiant Fate's tone grew even colder.

"This whole thing was caused by her."

"That crazy woman who thrives on chaos. She wishes we and the royal court would fight to the death, causing rivers of blood to flow and turning the entire ancient continent upside down."

"Stopping this war is neither in her interest nor in line with her personality. Because it's not chaotic enough, not crazy enough!"

"Moreover... because she's been involved in too many schemes and tricks, she doesn't actually like to get involved herself."

"She might lend us a hand when we're at our wits' end and about to be defeated, allowing us to hold on a little longer and prolong the chaos."

"But... expecting her to stand in front of us and shield us from the wind and rain? That's practically a pipe dream."

Upon hearing Princess Huiming's analysis of the Witch of Chaos, King Lillard nodded with a furrowed brow. Clearly... this was also the image of the Witch of Chaos in his mind.

At this moment, Princess Huiming continued speaking.

"Since those two are clearly unreliable."

"So...we can only rely on ourselves."

At this point, Princess Huiming looked at the Star Gazing God King beside her and said,

"My true form is currently only at the mid-stage of the Guardian God King realm."

“But…” Princess Huiming paused for a moment.

“I can sacrifice this puppet body of mine and transfer all the laws of destruction and all the power I have accumulated over the years to her.”
