Keyboard Immortal - Chapter 2976

Chapter 1489 The Last Kiss

“So it was you!” The God of Immortality chuckled self-deprecatingly. “I’ve always been on guard against Annihilation and Chaos, but I never expected to overlook you. Order was also killed by your schemes back then, wasn’t it? I should have known all this sooner.”

Cao Cao, the God of Guardians, remained calm: “What’s the point of saying all this now?”

“Indeed, it’s pointless. But we are allies after all. If you kill me, wouldn’t that be like inviting a wolf into the house? You should know what the original history of this world was like. When the Annihilation Immortal Ancestor takes advantage of the chaos to enter the capital, and Chaos and Mystery lurk in the shadows, how will you deal with them?”

Cao Cao smiled slightly: “That’s none of your concern.”

He then reached out, seemingly bridging the distance of time and space, and pressed his hand directly against He Jin’s chest.

The phantom of an ancient evergreen tree appeared on He Jin’s body, countless green wisps wrapping around his hands.

“Green? I also like to bring green to others.” Cao Cao smiled, pressing his palm forward three inches further.

The power of immortality and the power of guardianship collided and merged, emitting a deep, muffled thunderous sound.

Golden light surged into He Jin’s body like a tidal wave, frantically devouring the remaining verdant essence.

He Jin tried to resist, but his essence was shattered, making him powerless to resist the devouring power of a full-fledged True God.

He Jin gritted his teeth, his entire body radiating a vibrant green, and the enormous ancient tree phantom exploded. He knew he had been weakened by the national-protecting formation in the palace, and now, at his last gasp, he was no match for his opponent.

Therefore, he was willing to self-destruct his divine body in an attempt to achieve mutual destruction, while simultaneously protecting a verdant seed as it flew into the sky.

As long as the essence of longevity remained, he would eventually recover.

Unfortunately, Cao Cao suddenly shone with golden light, like the most solid city wall in the world, forcefully blocking the terrifying explosion.

The seed of the essence of longevity flew rapidly into the distance, when suddenly a giant hand descended from the sky.

It grabbed it, and in the next second, they were back outside the palace.

Cao Cao laughed at the green seed in his palm, “Have you forgotten what kind of true god I am?”

The Immortal God was filled with regret; his opponent possessed the strongest defense in the entire universe, making it extremely difficult to harm him.

Unfortunately, it was too late. The Immortal God’s remnant soul was instantly refined, and the green seed was swallowed by Cao Cao.

A satisfied expression appeared on his face: “The power of a true god, indeed delicious.”

…

Deep within the palace, in the former Empress Dowager’s palace, the Goddess of Pleasure and Desire opened her eyes the instant the Great Array of National Protection was activated.

Almost instantly, she appeared in the room of the young Emperor Liu Bian, seeing that half of his essence had been drained, and that he was already in a deep coma. Her beautiful face was filled with shock and anger: “Damn it!”

She was well aware of the feud between the Ten Attendants and the aristocratic elites, but she still needed the power of Zhang Rang and others, as well as the army they controlled, to counterbalance He Jin and his ilk. Therefore, she had not agreed to the ministers’ request to execute Zhang Rang and his group. Of course, she

also did not agree to Zhang Rang and his group’s request to execute He Jin.

She and He Jin were now natural allies. As long as the two of them remained stable, the entire Han Empire would be unable to cause any trouble, and the plans of various ambitious individuals would be doomed to fail.

Although Zhang Rang and his group were dissatisfied, they were powerless to resist her.

Some who had abandoned reproduction could only rely on her protection now. Did they really intend to confront a true god?

But reality slapped her hard.

She wasn’t unprepared for this national-protecting formation, but all her backup plans had been broken.

A true god was helping Zhang Rang and his group!

Almost instantly, a chill ran down her spine.

She no longer had time to consider which true god was behind it; she had to stop it all and regain control of the national-protecting formation. If

Zhang Rang and his group wanted to die, then she would sacrifice all their lives to the national-protecting formation. She would use this formation to suppress and kill the most threatening annihilation immortal ancestor.

However, as soon as she reached the core of the formation, her heart sank to the bottom.

There stood a mountain-like fat man—who else could it be but Dong Zhuo, the incarnation of annihilation!

“How did you get in!” The Goddess of Joy and Desire was utterly bewildered. She and the Goddess of Immortality, knowing this history, had always been wary of Dong Zhuo, specifically ordering his army to be stationed in Shanglin Garden, forbidding them from advancing an inch, and also sending subordinates to monitor him constantly.

Yet, he not only entered the capital but even infiltrated the palace without her knowledge!

“This is all thanks to Yuan Shao,” Dong Zhuo laughed, glancing at the palace beside him.

A dignified man emerged from within, none other than Yuan Shao, a man from a family that had held high office for four generations: “Greetings, Empress Dowager.”

“So it was your Yuan family colluding with him!” The Goddess of Joy and Desire suddenly understood. With the Yuan family’s protégés and former officials, secretly protecting Dong Zhuo’s entry into the capital wouldn’t be difficult. Add to that the traitors like Zhang Rang, and it’s no wonder Dong Zhuo was here.

“You should know the original historical trajectory of this timeline. Cooperating with him is like inviting a wolf into the house!”

This was what she couldn’t understand most. Everyone was wary of Dong Zhuo, so why wasn’t the Yuan family?

This Dong Zhuo, the incarnation of the Immortal Ancestor of Annihilation, wouldn’t make the same mistakes as the historical Dong Zhuo.

Once he controls the power in the capital, there will be no chance for Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and others to escape. They won’t fall for any honey traps, and the massive forces will crumble, leading to a period of warlordism.

Yuan Shao smiled slightly, a mixture of piety and madness on his face: “I worship the great God of Chaos and Mystery. Previously, everything in the capital was under your and the God of Longevity’s control. This situation is absolutely not what my true god wanted to see. Therefore, everything I’ve done is to offer as a tribute to the great God of Chaos and Mystery!”

“That troublemaker, Mili!” The Goddess of Pleasure and Desire gritted her teeth. In her view, Mili gained absolutely nothing from all this; she was simply trying to create chaos.

She was just cursing when she flew away. She wasn’t good at fighting; even in a one-on-one fight, she was no match for the Ancestor of Annihilation. Moreover, he was setting a trap for her here, with a divine messenger representing Mili beside him.

The only way now was to find Zu’an. He had an army and was the only person she could trust.

If they joined forces, there was still a chance to turn the tide.

She couldn’t help but regret turning against him too soon. Back then, she was smug and thought everything was under her control…

Unfortunately, she had no chance left. The Ancestor of Annihilation wouldn’t let her leave so easily.

The power of Annihilation quickly swept across the sky, annihilating everything. Left

with no other choice, she could only turn back to fight…

Meanwhile, Zu An arrived at the palace and discovered it had come alive. It was Zhang Rang and the others activating the Great Array of National Protection, grinding down the Eternal God.

The powerful array that enhanced the nation’s fortune, along with the aftershocks of the True God’s battle, made it impossible for him to approach. Being caught in the crossfire would mean certain death.

He acted decisively, not lingering around the palace, but going directly to the military camp and leading a portion of the Eight Schools of the Western Garden towards the palace.

Jian Shuo was originally the leader of the Eight Schools of the Western Garden, but this remnant of order was quickly eliminated by Empress He and He Jin.

His troops were divided among He Jin and several other captains, and due to Empress He and Lu Zhi’s prestige, Zu An also received a significant share.

He now controlled about a third of the Eight Schools of the Western Garden.

He alone could not interfere with the battle at the palace, but with the army’s support, things were completely different.

When he returned, the True God of Longevity had fled, and Zhang Rang and the others were nowhere to be found. He sensed the terrifying battle aura of the True God within the palace, a power that possessed both annihilation and the power of pleasure and desire.

Worried about the changes within the palace, he did not pursue the True God of Longevity, but instead led his troops into the palace.

The Great Array that Protects the Nation had ceased functioning; such an array could not be reactivated in the short term.

It seemed the True God of Annihilation had used Zhang Rang and his group to eliminate both the True God of Longevity and the trump card of the Great Array in the hands of the Goddess of Joy and Desire. With

Zu An’s arrival, the chaos in the palace gradually subsided, but his heart grew increasingly turbulent.

Suddenly, a powerful mournful cry erupted from afar, causing the heavens and earth to lose their color—a phenomenon only seen when a True God had fallen.

The terrifying battle fluctuations vanished, and a beam of light flew in from afar. Two other beams hesitated, seemingly wary of Zu An’s well-organized army, and ultimately did not pursue.

The beam of light landed before Zu An, who flew over and supported her. The Goddess of Joy and Desire was on the verge of death; her face had lost its usual allure, and even her entire form was beginning to flicker and fade, as if she might disappear at any moment.

After seeing Zu An clearly, a smile appeared on her face: “I was able to see you one last time before I fell; it seems fate has been kind to me.”

“Dong Zhuo did this?” Zu An was both angry and pitying. If she hadn’t caused all that trouble before, she wouldn’t be in such a passive position now.

“And your true god,” the God of Pleasure and Desire sighed, “they almost stole all my power, but you arrived just in time. They overlooked the most important thing.”

She suddenly smiled sweetly and kissed him directly.

The surrounding soldiers widened their eyes. The Empress Dowager kissing her own general and the current imperial uncle—what kind of thing was this?

Zu An couldn’t care less about that now, because he sensed the soul power of the first generation of true gods returning to his body, along with the original soul of the God of Pleasure and Desire!
