"Three years later......"
The former Recruitment Office, now in decline, with overgrown weeds in the courtyard and broken walls everywhere.
The former glory is long gone, leaving only desolation and ruin.
The stone path in the courtyard is covered with moss, and the once exquisite garden has become overgrown with weeds. The red paint on the walls has peeled off, revealing the weathered bricks and stones underneath. The windows are broken, the doors are shaky, as if telling the story of the glory of former days and the current desolation. The roof tiles are incomplete, allowing sunlight to shine through the cracks and illuminate the dusty ground.
The furniture inside the house is in a state of disrepair, with cobwebs interwoven in the corners. The laughter and joy of Former days seem to still echo in the ears, but they are no longer present. The decay is truly lamentable, as these ruins bear witness to the vicissitudes of time. Only the wild grass sways in the wind, seemingly silently mourning the past glory.
Under the reflection of the blood moon, the Cluster amaryllis blooms as brilliantly red as blood. They bloom in the dark night as if they were a crimson bridge between the earth and the sky. The petals are layered and soft like velvet, yet they exude a kind of toughness. The light of the blood moon spills onto the sea of flowers, giving off an eerie red glow.
Every flower seems to be endowed with life, gently swaying in the wind, as if whispering some secret. At the end of the flower sea is a dark void, which inevitably instills fear in people.
The air is filled with the fragrance of Cluster amaryllis, mixed with a bloody scent, creating an inexplicable sense of oppression.
At this moment, a gust of wind blows through, causing the flower sea to surge like a sea of blood, with petals falling like a blood rain.
This scene is like a poignant dream, beautiful yet frightening.
"Ziling! Ziling! The soul beckons to return..."
A cold moon hangs in the pitch-black sky. Suddenly, a piercing crow's cry breaks the silence, sending shivers down one's spine.
I saw a solitary blood crow standing on a branch, its whole body blood-red, with a pair of eyes on its forehead, resembling human eyes. Its feathers shimmered with an eerie light in the moonlight. In an instant, there came the sound of thunder from the horizon, as if the gods were roaring. The thunder grew louder and closer, as if it wanted to tear the whole world apart. Accompanying the approaching thunder, more and more blood crows flocked in.
In the midst of a desolate and dilapidated ruin, a tremendously large skeleton lay silently, emitting a chilling stench of decay. Suddenly, the blood crows let out terrified cries, as if they had glimpsed something extremely horrifying. The skeleton sat upright on the ground, with what appeared to be a chaotic and unformed state behind it, resembling a gigantic black hole. Within this black hole, time and space seemed to stand still, greedily devouring everything around it.
Its Unfathomable darkness seems to be able to swallow all light. In this place, time has lost its meaning, space has become distorted, and matter and energy are compressed to the limit.
The power of a black hole is unbelievable; anything that comes near it will be torn apart in an instant, disappearing without a trace. In a desperate struggle, the blood crow is mercilessly sucked into it, leaving behind darkness and silence.
However, at this moment, a mysterious and dazzling light shines out from the black hole, casting its reflection on the skeleton.
The radiance is like a mysterious energy, gradually permeating every tiny part of the skeleton. The originally cold and lifeless bones begin to tremble slightly, emitting a crisp cracking sound, as if speaking some ancient language.
The sound is both frightening and full of vitality. With the continuous penetration of the radiance, the skeleton gradually exudes a strange brilliance, as if it has been endowed with new life.
The connections between the bones start to move, and the once stiff joints become flexible and agile. The entire skeleton seems to be reassembling, forming a completely new form.
Its movements are becoming more and more fluid, no longer stiff as before, but exuding a lively spirit. In this magical transformation, the skeleton seems to have become a living being, awakening and preparing to show its true power.
With the continuous infusion of light, fresh red flesh gradually grows on the skeleton. Muscles slowly cover the bones, and blood vessels and nerves begin to reconnect. In the originally hollow eye sockets, a pair of eyes slowly open, revealing confusion and surprise.
As time passes, that mass of flesh grows and expands at an astonishing speed, and eventually, a complete and flawless person appears before our eyes.
His body is tall and powerful, with muscles that are sharply defined as if carved. Each muscle contains endless strength, as if cast from molten iron. He exudes a vibrant and energetic aura, causing people to take notice involuntarily.
As he slowly stands up, he stretches his new limbs, feeling the sense of power brought by this unfamiliar body. His movements are smooth and natural, without any sense of unfamiliarity, as if he has been familiar with this body for a very long time.
He takes a deep breath, then exhales slowly, his breathing becoming steady and powerful, like a long-dormant lion awakening. With each breath, his chest rises and falls slightly, displaying a powerful vitality.
The sound of the heartbeat is like the beating of war drums, strong and resounding throughout the space. Quietly gazing at everything around, the eyes reveal a sense of confusion and surprise, as if trying to recall the bits and pieces of the past, and as if getting to know this world, which has become somewhat stranger to him, once again. Suddenly, his gaze becomes firm, and he murmurs to himself, "I, Mei Ziling, have finally returned!" This sentence seems like an incantation, awakening the long-dormant memories and strength deep within his heart.
Mei Ziling was furious, his eyes wide open and his face flushed red as he faced the Recruitment Office and let out a long roar. Then, with a "thud," he fell to his knees, banging his head on the ground, and shouted hoarsely, "stepfather above! Ziling returns today and swears here to make the Third Prince pay a painful price! If I cannot kill this scoundrel, I, Mei Ziling, swear not to be human!"
Rewind three years, Mei Ziling was still a spirited young man.
One day, he accompanied stepmother Qin Yin to visit and enjoy the sights of Fortified city. Unexpectedly, in this bustling place, they encountered the unruly Third Prince Liu Zuishi. After catching sight of Qin Yin's stunning beauty, Liu Zuishi became infatuated and made inappropriate advances.
Mei Ziling Upon seeing this, I was filled with rage and fiercely reprimanded this ignorant fellow before throwing him into a foul-smelling dung pit. However, to my surprise, Liu Zuishi was narrow-minded and cruel, and in order to salvage his own reputation, he ruthlessly destroyed the mansion of a noble family. This deep-seated enmity has been etched into the heart of Mei Ziling, and I constantly yearn for revenge.
Mei Zilin's figure flashed and turned into a blood-red crow. As its wings flapped, a strong scent of blood filled the air as it swiftly flew towards a distant destination.
The purpose of this journey was none other than the Palace of Kings. The Palace of Kings was the residence of Emperor Xie's second son, a member of the Fu Sang royal family. Despite their esteemed status as the only royal family of a different surname in the divine kingdom of Fu Sang, the Palace of Kings had always been at odds with the Recruitment Office.
If it weren't for the fact that the Kings had dispatched a hundred thousand light armor troops from the Recruitment Office, how could they have encountered such a disastrous calamity?
"palace of kings……"
Mei Ziling His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's, and he exerted all his strength to suddenly throw a punch, accompanied by a deep rumbling sound, the heavy bronze door, weighing over a thousand pounds, was directly knocked down by him!
He roared, "Kings, come out! Otherwise, today I will raze your palace to the ground!"
At this moment, a majestic voice came from deep within the mansion: "Who dares to be so presumptuous, daring to intrude into the royal mansion without permission? Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster upon your family?" The tone of the voice was full of threat and disdain, however, Mei Ziling showed no fear at all. He sneered, "Kings, you have quite the air of authority! Haven't seen you in three years, have you already become the Crown Prince of the Southern Borders?" When Kings saw that the person was indeed Mei Ziling, his face instantly became very panicked, but he quickly regained his composure.
He forcefully put on a proud demeanor and loudly rebuked, "How dare you! You are just a servant of the Recruitment Office, what do you know about respecting hierarchy and proper etiquette? Even if you acknowledge Xie Xuan as your stepfather, it cannot change your lowly status!"
Mei Ziling couldn't help but feel a surge of anger upon hearing this. He detested the distinction of social hierarchy the most in his life! At this moment, his eyes revealed intense murderous intent, as if he wanted to tear the person in front of him into pieces.
The tightly clenched fists emitted powerful true energy, creating ripples in the air.
Suddenly, Mei Ziling exerted all their strength and fiercely struck towards kings' face. This unexpected turn of events left kings completely stunned, even forgetting to dodge, and could only watch as Mei Ziling's fist came at them.
At that moment, a loud noise was heard, and the mansion behind kings unexpectedly collapsed.
Mei Ziling smirked slightly and sneered, "Your Highness kings, if you don't want to lose something, I advise you to think carefully before speaking."
"Don't make things difficult for me because of a small matter. After all, the Southern Borders have not been established until now, and you're not even my only heir."
The king heard these words and nodded in agreement in his heart. He knew that Mei Ziling's words were true, so he lowered his tone and spoke softly: "Ziling, I also feel very sad about the destruction of the Recruitment Office.
Although my younger brother and I are not full siblings, we are still connected by blood. How could I harm him? This matter is too complicated to be settled easily, even for our father. I advise you to stop interfering in this affair. Some people are not to be trifled with. That's the rule of this world, and it can't be changed just because of your passionate emotions."
kingsYour Highness is so stubborn, it's truly regrettable! If I were to kill you today, wouldn't the world be short one royal? Rules may continue to exist, but a life is precious. Do you really think being royal means having two lives?
ZilingAh, I admit I have my own selfish motives, but the death of the Third Prince was truly unexpected. I have reported this matter to the Emperor, but have yet to receive a response.
Very well, since Your Highness is so sincere, I'm sure stepfather will be pleased in the afterlife. All that's lacking now is the head of the Third Prince. I hope Your Highness can write a memorial, which I will personally deliver to Fortified city to present to the ruler.
This...? Kings showed a look of embarrassment on his face. He secretly calculated in his heart: if he didn't write this memorial, Mei Ziling would definitely not let him off easily; but if he did write it, it would inevitably arouse suspicion that he was secretly colluding with Third Prince and plotting against his own brother.
After much hesitation, Kings ultimately chose to compromise. After Mei Ziling left, he immediately sent a secret letter to Third Prince.
However, he was completely unaware that his every word and action had long been seen through by Mei Ziling, and all of his movements were completely within the other party's sight.
