157: Chapter 157 She saw him as the seed money for her comeback.

The dark and gloomy moments gradually faded away, and the dawn's radiance spread across the entire land.

"Why?"

On the bed, the disheveled Gu Qingge did not believe that the White Empress had no hidden schemes or plots, and that she had merely acted out of a moment of lust, using her youthful body as bait to entrap him.

Looking at the White Empress beside him, who was currently putting on her scattered robes one by one, beneath the beautiful and alluring scene, she exuded an air of peerless elegance, her beautiful face as sweet as honey-glass.

She did not directly explain the deeper meaning, simply gifting Gu Qingge a single sentence in return.

"The Xiaoxiang Rebellion, the Consort plots against the world."

In an instant, following some inexplicable reaction, a dark red golden pattern suddenly appeared on the White Empress's smooth, white forehead.

Under this change, her entire delicate body was set off, appearing even more enchantingly evil and chaotic!

"The Xiaoxiang Rebellion, the Consort plots against the world?" Gu Qingge pondered for a long time, but ultimately could not grasp its meaning.

However, this indulgence actually allowed him to gain some unexpected benefits.

It indirectly caused the Devilish Qi within his body to become more abundant.

"Are we still going to look for the moon spirit treasure pill?" Gu Qingge asked.

In reality, there was no need to even ask this question.

Because he clearly knew that even though this moon spirit treasure pill was tempting, it did not have much use for the White Empress.

Her true form was very likely already in a state of potential transformation.

It only needed a fortuitous Opportunity to realize this.

"Of course we'll look for it, why wouldn't we?"

The White Empress's attitude did not change significantly; it was clear that Gu Qingge's question had not been answered.

This also caused a flash of wary premonition to cross Gu Qingge's mind.

This woman clearly had an ulterior motive; she was plotting and scheming to take everything.

He could not provoke her any further.

If there was a chance...

Gu Qingge calculated in his heart, but his face remained completely calm.

However, even so, his thoughts were directly exposed by the White Empress.

"Do you want to ditch me? Hmm? Yes or no?"

As she smoothed her brows, there was not a trace of anger in the corners of the White Empress's eyes.

But it gave Gu Qingge a powerful, terrifying sense of oppression, as if he were facing a deep abyss or towering waves.

It couldn't help but make him ask in his heart, where on earth did this woman pop out from?

Gu Qingge had always been quick-witted; when the White Empress was hunting those Vicious Beasts earlier, he had been closely monitoring the direction and changes of the battlefield.

Ever since the Demon Flood Dragon King mentioned coming out from "there," he realized that things were not simple!

It was impossible, and absolutely certain, that the White Empress was not just a Soul Transformation Stage Yao Beast.

She hid many secrets on her person.

And that fragment of the Soul-Shattering Ancient Jade was exactly what could prove his hypothesis was completely correct.

After all, what kind of ordinary Yao Beast would know the origin of such an obviously extraordinary item?

It indirectly indicated that this item had either been possessed by her before, or it was something she desperately craved.

And he, from beginning to end, had been played in circles by her!

"In all matters, one's own strength is paramount; one must not be bullied, nor must one abandon things."

"If one is as weak as a mayfly or an ant, then no matter how many plans are made, all can turn into betrayal."

Gu Qingge explained earnestly.

"Oh! So you want me to... hee hee!"

The White Empress's beautiful eyes turned slightly, appearing as if she wanted to pounce yet held back; her intoxicating charm exuded a ripe, elegant aura that was truly thought-provoking.

Hearing this, Gu Qingge was stunned for a moment.

What is going on?

I meant that you need to take a long-term view.

Strengthen yourself, only then can you do whatever you want.

Why obsess over me?

Suddenly, just as the two were harboring their own schemes and dealing with each other insincerely, a colorful radiance illuminated the entire sky.

This also caused the situation to change once again!

"What's going on? Could a secret treasure have appeared?" Gu Qingge gazed at that bright radiance and muttered deeply.

However, the expression on the face of the White Empress beside him was exceptionally ugly.

"Run!" The White Empress, without a word, grabbed Gu Qingge's hand and fled directly in the direction away from the colorful radiance.

Her speed was as fast as the wind and quick as lightning, as if she were using all the strength of her life, wanting to escape that abyssal swamp as soon as possible.

It was not until the White Empress had taken Gu Qingge an unknown distance away, and confirmed they were in a safe zone, that she finally stopped.

"What on earth is going on?"

At this moment, although Gu Qingge did not yet understand the matter itself, he indirectly understood that the bright radiance was very likely to pose a threat to them.

"That is the light emitted when the Underworld Burial Flower blooms."

When she saw Gu Qingge's look of complete ignorance, she finally sighed and revealed the origins of the Underworld Burial Flower one by one.

"This Underworld Burial Flower is extraordinary. Legend has it that it originated from a brilliance condensed in the mouth of the Flower-Faced Underworld God from the ancient era before she fell."

"Whenever it blooms again, the soul of the Flower-Faced Underworld God will descend upon the world, absorbing the surrounding Spiritual Qi, Nether Evil Qi, and even devouring those who carry spiritual power."

"All of this is in preparation for her resurrection plan."

"Could it be that even Gods can fall?" Gu Qingge asked.

"That is, of course, certain. Otherwise, how could there be the War of Gods and Demons in this world, and how could this boundless territory, the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, have been created?"

When mentioning the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, a hint of emotion emerged in the depths of the White Empress's eyes.

The Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons, the holder of the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body, and to have entered so coincidentally before the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons opened.

If all the coincidences in this world pile up together, then it is no longer called a coincidence, but rather fate.

And this fate happened to be encountered by her, the White Empress.

Originally, the reason she chose to take Gu Qingge was not out of consideration for lust.

Although she had to admit that the visual impact and physical impact he gave her were both high-intensity, stacked auxiliary benefits.

However, the main reason was, on one hand, out of interest in the Heavenly Demon Emperor Body.

On the other hand, it was to use him to stir up the changes in the wind and clouds within the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons.

And what she plotted was far more immeasurable than the Underworld Burial Flower blooming beneath the sky.

Eternal life?

Resurrection?

Hmph!

Only the weak will die; what the strong plot and strive for is the long, forward-marching path of Immortal Ascension.

When the song of triumph is played, ten thousand miles of glory will be revealed, and the trend of the world will all be within a single thought.

The White Empress thought to herself.

As for the world of cultivation?

They are nothing but mere frogs at the bottom of a well.

Currently, the boundaries of heaven and earth have not opened, and the various realms each form their own barriers, which is why the prosperous age of the Three Thousand Provinces was created.

But once the barriers of the various realms are broken, the situation will change again and again!

However, although the current White Empress possessed infinite grand ambitions, what she lacked was the seed money for her comeback.

And the heavens were still very favorable to her, this peerless Yao Immortal who was stepping onto the path of Immortal Ascension once again, slaughtering gods, demons, immortals, and Buddhas!

At her most destitute moment, it gave her a hope.

Gu Qingge was the foundation she viewed as her desperate comeback.

It was precisely because of this that she was so impatient to sacrifice herself, to firmly grasp him in her hands.

Furthermore, she had used the Eye of Breaking Delusion to carefully examine Gu Qingge.

According to the predetermined trajectory, he was not the type of person to be heartless and unrighteous.

People, after all, are always controlled by their seven emotions and six desires.

How could she easily miss such an easy-to-conquer territory?
