screening room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no spotlight, but the gazes of everyone present were the most scorching spotlight, firmly fixed on the two figures in the center of the space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingying's eyelashes trembled lightly like butterfly wings, then closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything around her—the scrutiny of capital, the speculation of peers—was instantly shut out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ci stood right beside her, able to clearly sense the rapid sedimentation of her aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a process of falling from the cool professionalism of the modern metropolis toward the ancient, primordial mysticism and compassion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was slow, yet unshakably firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn't wearing any of the complex shamanic attire described in the script, only a simple, elegant modern gown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, when she opened her eyes again, everyone present held their breath in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was no longer Su Qingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was Ling Xi, the last legendary great shaman of the Shang Dynasty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her spine suddenly straightened, those slender shoulder blades actually supporting a tottering world of faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An intangible sense of majesty and sanctity emanated from her as the center.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even breathing took on a sacrificial piety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the front row, the senior representative from Daylight Entertainment leaned forward slightly, the hand resting on his knee already unconsciously clenched into a fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The playful expressions on the faces of several investors completely vanished, replaced only by a focused attention that was firmly seized.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the power of a top-tier Best Actress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No external trappings were needed; she alone could support the soul of a character.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingying raised her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement was slow, her arm slender, her fingertips delicate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A simple, unremarkable drawing-a-bow posture in reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet at this moment, every person present, whether the director accustomed to grand scenes or the picky capital representatives,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>clearly \"saw\" a bow in their minds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A phantom longbow formed of moonlight and resentment, taking shape in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Lingxi Bow from the script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Using the blood of the shaman to draw upon the spirit of heaven and earth, to slay all demons in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Huai's brow unconsciously furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood better than anyone that what Su Qingying was performing now had long surpassed simple \"hatred.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the heart-wrenching pain of loving to the extreme, yet having to personally bury one's faith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her aura was Ling Xi herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pressure was all on Jiang Ci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How would he catch this \"arrow\"?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingying spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was cool, yet each word was scalding and painful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ye Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She called out this name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once believed you would protect both the human and demon realms, protect me, but look at what has become now—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her hand swept through the empty air, carrying endless disappointment and sorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Demonic energy corrodes the bones, you slaughter shamans indiscriminately, bring calamity upon living beings, even I have become an obstacle in your eyes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sentence heavier than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each sentence colder than the last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your promise to stay together was false, your original intention was also false, wasn't it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final accusation, its pitch suddenly rising high, like an ice spike piercing straight into the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's hearts clenched fiercely along with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Jiang Ci's turn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought he would defend himself, would roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he made no movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One second.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two seconds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as some people began to frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A roar suppressed to the extreme, inhuman in sound, violently erupted from the depths of Jiang Ci's throat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That sound was filled with beast-like pain and struggle, making many present uncontrollably shudder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body first curled violently inward, like a trapped beast with a chain tightening around its neck, every muscle trembling intensely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with an even more violent force, he fiercely straightened his spine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The veins on his face bulged one by one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes locked dead onto that resolute figure ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two completely different emotions tore violently across his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the woman he had loved for a lifetime, he roared with syllables that seemed torn apart:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ling Xi... it wasn't me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every word expended all the strength in his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The demonic energy... it controls me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I haven't forgotten... haven't forgotten to protect you, protect both realms...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body swayed violently, as if the next second he would be utterly devoured by that \"demonic energy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet his gaze, that last remaining shred of clarity, remained stubbornly fixed on Su Qingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out, wanting to touch her, yet his hand fell powerlessly halfway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, all the struggle transformed into a blood-weeping plea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe me...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I beg you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This \"I beg you\" sent shivers down the spines of everyone present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That wasn't a line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the final lament of a proud soul before falling into the abyss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a man, staking everything, making his final plea to his only light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Huai's fingers gripping the armrest tightened abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Zhang Mouyi's placid face, the lines were drawn taut, his fingers on the armrest unconsciously curling, knuckles protruding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Su Qingying, that Su Qingying who had completely transformed into Ling Xi,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>her body trembled with an almost imperceptible tremor because of Jiang Ci's earth-shattering performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She closed her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tear, without warning, slid from the corner of her tightly closed eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That tear was the last trace of warmth, and the most thorough severance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she opened her eyes again, all the compassion and piercing pain in her gaze had vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Qingying's movements changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She released the hand that was virtually holding the bowstring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The movement was light as a feather.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet heavy as Mount Tai, severing a thousand-year bond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her tone was terrifyingly calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Believe you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Every time I believed you, it brought calamity upon living beings!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This seal seals your demonic energy, and also seals all my foolish affection for you—\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She enunciated each word, like the most severe judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From now on, peace for both human and demon realms, you and I... will have no further connection!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment her words fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bang!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible, tremendous force seemed to strike Jiang Ci's chest violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His body jerked backward, his feet scraping silent marks on the ground, finally being heavily \"nailed\" onto that imagined Divine Tree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last shred of clarity he had desperately maintained in his eyes was utterly extinguished at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaving only endless, solidified shock and pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His soul was nailed to eternal darkness by this arrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The performance ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the vast screening room, silence reigned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one clapped, no one spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was immersed in that tragedy so devastating it stole their breath, unable to extricate themselves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the air, only the bone-deep chill brought by those words \"no further connection\" remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until an utterly emotionless instruction shattered this dead silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Mouyi still sat in his original spot, not moving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the two figures in the center still holding their final poses, he spoke coldly and firmly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Next scene.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A Li, beneath the giant
