Chapter 251: Go Out and See the Damage!

A brief silence, as if time had halted, was shattered by the roar of collapsing buildings…

Chunhu: Again fantasizing—that her child hadn't died, that she could still live freely on the earth, that Chang'e had never appeared, that she had exacted revenge upon Chang'e…

"So—did you kill Chang'e?"

Hecatia, ever impulsive and unfiltered, was the first to ask the golden-haired deity emerging from the Guanghan Palace, drenched in blood—cutting straight to the point, with no hesitation.

"No."

Coming back to herself at that voice, Chunhu spoke.

Hecatia nodded, unsurprised—after all, Chang'e had consumed the Penglai herb, even if only a half-finished version; even her friend, who wielded the power of purification, could not have slain her outright in such a short time.

Yet the spark in Chunhu's eyes, the lightness of her smile, the exquisitely perfect features radiating an expression more noble and ethereal than before, the indescribable gentle radiance—she was utterly different from the woman she had been.

These changes intertwined, elevating her charm to a level even the Lunar Sages could not bear to look upon, as if reborn.

This alone proved Chang'e's fate would not be good.

"I merely made her die again and again, endlessly trapped in an inescapable cycle—never reaching true death…"

The demons did not yet understand what had happened, but Bayi Yonglin, another Penglai being, subtly shifted her gaze and sighed quietly.

She knew—this was the cruelest fate for a Penglai being; Chang'e now likely suffered more than death.

She would be killed the instant she revived, repeating the process countless times until Chunhu's hatred faded—or until Chang'e, as an imperfect creation, perished utterly within the endless cycle.

Making Chang'e feel the same pain she had felt? That was no empty words.

"Let us negotiate peace…"

Between the Hell Goddess Hecatia before her and the vengeful immortal Chunhu behind, Yueyuejian fell silent for a long while, then spoke without expression—her gaze and demeanor unnervingly calm.

Though called "negotiation," the outcome was already clear; this phrasing merely granted the Lunar people their final shred of dignity.

Undeniably, the Lunar Capital had lost this round. Further struggle would be not only pointless but grotesque.

Yet the object of her focus was not the useless demons who had been carried throughout the battle, nor the two goddesses equal to her—her gaze was fixed solely on the human who still chatted idly with the Realm demon on the ground.

Moduoluo opened the door to provide support, Bayi Yonglin applied hard crowd control and debuffs, Jia Ji engaged the frontline, and finally Hecatia and Chunhu finished off the low-health Yueyuejian—that was their adrenaline-pumping combo.

It wasn't so much that he possessed extraordinary intelligence as that he had unparalleled quick wit and luck.

"What's wrong? What's wrong... If you're not convinced, go outside and see the damage!"

Sensing the strange glances of everyone following Yueyuejian's gaze, Jia Ji, pale-faced yet agitated, defended himself.

He would never admit he'd landed several critical hits to achieve this result—luck was part of strength; if you're upset, don't play.

"I can hand Chang'e over to you."

When the leader of the Lunar Capital spoke, even the most arrogant Lunar people had no choice but to bow their heads and reluctantly surrender Chang'e's fate—they no longer had the strength to protect this goddess who had existed for millennia.

This one? Useless. (referring to Chang'e)

Meeting Yueyuejian's gaze, Jia Ji understood they still had last-resort self-destruct measures—the "Planck Bomb," the "Antimatter Self-Detonation Array"—and simply nodded.

Hecatia and Chunhu targeted the Lunar Capital solely because of Chang'e; now that Chang'e's issue was resolved, with no further conflict of interest, they had no reason to oppose peace.

The other demons, too, had come to understand their own insignificance and weakness—had it not been for a few exceptional players, ninety-nine percent of them would have been blown to ash by Mianyue Fengji's fan.

The remaining great demons would have been slaughtered one by one by Yueyuejian alone.

Even weakened by war, the Lunar Capital was still beyond the demons' reach—whether territory or power, the demons on earth should return to earth.

They had no voice here.

Afterwards, under Jia Ji's mediation, the Lunar Capital and the demons reached peace—Chunhu would no longer invade the Lunar Capital, and a world where only Hecatia remained unharmed was achieved!

"I can do nothing…"

Yiji drew her sword, gazing around in helpless confusion. Raised as the Lunar Princess, she had always sailed smoothly, her pride higher than any other Lunar person—but now, her sword had not even felled the previous demons, nor could she protect the Lunar Capital beneath her feet.

Fengji sighed, ruffling the hair of her stubborn younger sister. She, too, had never felt this way—but strangely, a quiet excitement stirred within her, thrilled by this unknown sensation.

—Chang'e? Should've been erased long ago.

For years, the Lunar Capital fought Chunhu in Chang'e's name, like a constant apostle invasion—each time, it was only her ability to connect mountain and sea that got them there in time. Purely a tool.

Now, at last, she was freed.

……

Jia Ji, barely holding on to his last breath, had brokered the century's greatest peace.

His head tilted, breath and heartbeat gradually fading.

The vast battle aura and the power capable of challenging gods had vanished.

"Jia Ji!!"

"What happened to you?!"

"Jia Ji!"

The voices beside him—frightened, anxious demon girls—grew louder, the pressure in his hands increasing, a faint sting.

But he could no longer respond. Before closing his eyes, he saw only a pair of Guizise eyes, trembling as if on the verge of tears.

"Jia Ji!"

Amid Bayun Zi's frantic cries, exhausted Jia Ji closed his eyes and sank into sleep.

"Wa, Jia Ji, don't die—"
