597: Peaceful and prosperous times

Clang!

The moment 100 million Imperial Power was consumed, the eastern emperor bell rang with a loud chime.

At the same time, the ethereal form of Sword Spirit Hui Yue immediately turned golden, as if a sand timer had been pressed, or a golden body activated.

Qin Yang, holding the eastern emperor bell, could clearly sense that time within the 'golden body' was rapidly rewinding.

This feeling was very strange.

It was like watching a movie played in reverse.

A character who had died was being resurrected as the timeline rewound.

Soon, cracks appeared on the golden body, which then shattered into golden dust.

Sword Spirit Hui Yue, clad in white gauze, was reborn amidst the golden glow.

At this moment, she was no longer a Sword Spirit, but a Bright Moon Elves with real flesh and blood.

As her strength returned to Level 180, Hui Yue's resurrection generated a considerable amount of pressure.

After all, it was the Aura released by a Peak Emperor-Ranked Professional, and Ye Qiuning, standing by, was directly thrown back by the pressure.

Fortunately, Qin Yang instantly flashed behind her and held her steadily in his arms.

"Your Majesty..."

Ye Qiuning's heart pounded, and the little deer within her began to run wild.

To be absurd... this was the first time she had close contact with the God Emperor since being conferred as Consort Ning.

There was no other way; the God Emperor was too busy.

And Ye Qiuning didn't know how to take the initiative.

For so long, she had been 'neglected' in the deep palace.

Chu Mengxuan was already pregnant with a divine child, yet she was still a virgin.

Suddenly being embraced by Qin Yang, she was immediately flustered, becoming helpless in his broad embrace.

Such intense emotional fluctuations were naturally sensed by Qin Yang, and he felt a bit of 'self-reproach' in his heart.

He had indeed neglected Ye Qiuning for too long.

Of course, this wasn't entirely his fault; primarily, Ye Qiuning's personality was too introverted, and given that Sword Immortals valued the clarity of their sword heart, her 'little thoughts' were not as numerous as He Zhiyi's, so she was naturally overlooked.

However, this close contact allowed Qin Yang to discover that Consort Ning also had her unique charm.

If Chu Mengxuan was a childhood sweetheart and He Zhiyi was a first love, then Ye Qiuning was the 'school beauty'.

This wasn't to say she was prettier than the previous two, but rather that she possessed a unique feeling.

Hardware-wise, there was nothing to say; Qin Yang's carefully selected faces and figures had no blind spots.

What truly attracted him was her quiet and amiable personality, which gave people a feeling of being close by, yet very distant.

Indeed, when Qin Yang was young, seeing the school beauty holding books and walking under ginkgo leaves, he felt this exact way.

Qin Yang gently pressed down on Ye Qiuning's shoulder, soothing her emotions while looking at the revived Hui Yue.

At this moment, Hui Yue was floating in the air, touching her face with a look of pleasant surprise.

"I can feel the warmth..."

"I've finally rebuilt my Physical Body!"

"This is wonderful!"

Qin Yang's eyes lit up.

Just from these few words, he knew that Hui Yue, who had been rewound 25 years, still remembered her past.

The eastern emperor bell's rewind did not rewind memories.

"God Emperor..."

Hui Yue looked at Qin Yang, her voice choked, unable to speak for a long time, only extending her hand forward.

Qin Yang nodded slightly, extended his hand towards her, and said, "Welcome back."

Hui Yue nodded heavily, flew directly in front of Qin Yang, clasped his hands with both of hers, and choked out, "God Emperor, Hui Yue will offer everything to you..."

At the same time, the Crescent Moon Elves below, like Hui Yue, cheered in unison.

"God Emperor, we are willing to offer everything to you!"

The cheers came like waves, one after another.

Nearly ten million Crescent Moon Elves witnessed the miracle with their own eyes.

Their long-dead Saintess Hui Yue had actually been resurrected again under the God Emperor's Divine Ability!

Amidst the thunderous shouts of worship, chants began to rise.

At this moment, a Professional bard composed an epic for the Elf World.

"Praise him, sing his praises!"

"His arrival made the barbaric orcs vanish into thin air."

"His arrival led the Dark Elves out of darkness."

"His arrival gave Saintess Hui Yue a new life!"

"Just like Saintess Hui Yue."

"His arrival gave Elf Civilization a new life!"

A beautiful melody soared above Moon Viewing City.

Qin Yang shook his head somewhat awkwardly, saying, "The melody is decent, but the lyrics are too shallow. Elven culture still has room for improvement..."

Of course, for the Elves, this poem truly expressed their feelings.

The Hundred Years' War ended, tribal conflicts resolved, and everything was developing in a good direction.

Qin Yang let out a long breath, his long-tense nerves finally relaxing.

The journey in the Elf World had come to a perfect end; he could rest for a while and prepare for the next challenge.

Thinking of this, Qin Yang sent a message to Lin Xiaoer: "Empress Dowager, dismiss the soldiers on the spot to rest well, but pay attention to discipline. Do not take a single thread from the locals, and certainly do not bully them."

...At night, Moon Viewing City was brightly lit and bustling with people.

Many Forest Elves stationed in the Twisted Forest also came to this city where the God Emperor had descended, joining the Crescent Moon Elves in a grand celebration.

In the air, the mellow aroma of elf fruit wine permeated, and the bards' songs floated to every corner of the city.

And among the singing and dancing Elves, there were not only Dark Elves but also many Human Expeditionary Force members mixed in.

This scene, if imagined in the past, would have been almost unbelievably absurd.

As the terror/elements of the Elf World, Dark Elves, once they appeared in crowded places, even dogs knew they were up to no good.

Now, however, they were lost in their dance steps, enjoying the brilliant lights that Dark City had never had.

As for those Human Expeditionary Force, it was even more exaggerated.

Elves saw humans as demons, and humans saw Elves as demons.

Before this, neither humans nor Elves could imagine a scene of Professionals and demons dancing together.

But this was the Plane Era.

In the future, even more 'demons' would be incorporated into the 'Great Divine State Nation' and become part of the 'All Heavens Great Unity' process.

Qin Yang stood on the dragon carriage, looking at the lights below, a sense of accomplishment welling up in his heart.

As an Emperor, he regarded the 'scroll' of peace and prosperity before him as his reward.

"I suppose I'm a good Emperor, then."

Qin Yang felt proud but also regretted having no one to share it with.

After all, only Emperors understood Emperors.

As Qin Yang was feeling regretful, a series of prompts suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Looking at the scene of peace and prosperity, you choose...]

[Benevolent Ruler]: Grant a general amnesty, pardon the Night Elves. Further strengthen the God Emperor's virtue and stabilize political power. (Imperial Power + 1 million)

[Profligate Ruler]: While there's singing and dancing outside, the imperial bedchamber should be filled with revelry every night! Consort Ning's package hasn't been opened yet! (Physique + 1000)

[Tyrant]: The mood is already here, why not kill ten thousand Night Elves to liven things up? Let these Elves see the consequences of defying Imperial Power! (Imperial Power + 1 million)

Qin Yang was slightly stunned, thinking, "It's been a while since I've seen my three old brothers, but..."

Qin Yang looked down, locating two beautiful figures in the dimly lit area, and smiled, "This time, I'll listen to Profligate Ruler."
