Ever since Ye Wushuang started teaching the Divine Dragon Empress about Daoist magic, she had been cultivating continuously in his palace.
Because the Divine Dragon Empire was relatively stable, no one had interrupted the Empress’s cultivation.
But today, while the Empress was cultivating very seriously, a minister from the Divine Dragon Council suddenly came running in, looking panicked.
“Your Majesty, this is terrible! Our Divine Dragon Empire is about to fall!”
As soon as he said this, not only did the Divine Dragon Empress stop her cultivation, but everyone else, including the Imperial Clan Director Liu Ning, also stopped what they were doing and turned to look at this minister.
Seeing so many powerful experts at the Supreme Realm cultivating here, the minister felt an immense amount of pressure.
He thought that maybe he shouldn’t have disturbed these Supreme Realm experts while they were cultivating.
But when he thought about the enemy the Divine Dragon Empire was about to face, the minister couldn’t care less about that anymore.
“Your Majesty, something huge has happened! The four major forces, led by the Overlord Spear Sect, have joined together. They’re coming with several hundred million soldiers and over a hundred Supreme Realm experts to attack our Divine Dragon Empire!”
“Several hundred million soldiers? What exactly are the Overlord Spear Sect and the others trying to do?”
Facing this situation, before the Divine Dragon Empress could even speak, Imperial Clan Director Liu Ning instantly became furious.
Their Divine Dragon Empire was finally on the verge of becoming powerful. They had finally started to grasp the forces of law.
And at a time like this, someone actually wanted to destroy their Divine Dragon Empire.
For Liu Ning, this was absolutely a huge provocation.
And it was the last thing he ever wanted to see.
At that moment, Liu Ning wished he could just grab his Heaven-Overturning Seal and go into a huge battle against those four major forces.
But just as he was about to move, the ancestor, Liu Shan, pulled him back.
“Don’t be impulsive. You can’t solve this problem.”
Over a hundred Supreme Realm experts, and several hundred million outside soldiers. There was no way Liu Ning alone could stand against that kind of power.
Even if all of them here joined forces, they might not necessarily be able to resolve this crisis.
In their hearts, the only one who could solve this crisis was the Divine Dragon Empress.
After all, she had created one powerful Daoist magic after another, and one miracle after another.
So, they believed that this time, the Empress would definitely have a way to solve the crisis.
The Divine Dragon Empress was startled when she saw their hopeful gazes. Then, she looked over at Ye Wushuang.
The miracles she had created before were actually all Ye Wushuang’s doing.
Aside from cultivating to the Immortal King realm and mastering the Divine Dragon Transformation herself, she hadn’t really done much.
So, when the others looked to her for answers, she instinctively turned to ask Ye Wushuang.
But she quickly realized something was wrong. Her face flushed slightly, and she promptly straightened up and composed herself.
“Let me think about this. I’ll give you my answer later.”
After saying this, the Divine Dragon Empress closed her eyes, as if deep in thought.
But secretly, she was actually communicating silently with Ye Wushuang.
“It seems our Divine Dragon Empire is in grave danger this time. So… you should leave now.”
“Hmm?”
Ye Wushuang was just thinking about how he could guide the Divine Dragon Empress through this disaster.
He never expected that the first thing she would say was for him to leave. That really caught him off guard.
But he instantly understood what she meant.
She didn’t want him to die in this catastrophe, so she wanted him to get away first.
And after Ye Wushuang left, no matter how the Divine Dragon Empire fared in this disaster, it would have nothing to do with him anymore.
Regardless of the final outcome, at least Ye Wushuang would be able to save his own life.
Seeing his confusion, the Divine Dragon Empress spoke again.
“Your cultivation level isn’t high, but your speed is unmatched. If you want to escape, no one can stop you, and no one could even detect you. So, you should leave first.”
“Leave first… and what about you?”
“I am the emperor of the Divine Dragon Empire. I cannot abandon our people. So, I cannot leave.”
Even though the Divine Dragon Empress wanted Ye Wushuang to run, wanted him to survive,
She herself never once thought about fleeing. She hadn’t even considered the possibility of saving her own life.
Her thoughts were very simple. No matter what the final outcome of the battle was, she had to fight to the very end.
As long as Ye Wushuang could live on, she would have no regrets.
However, Ye Wushuang rejected her suggestion.
“No need. I’m not leaving.”
“Besides, I have a way to deal with this crisis.”
“You have a way? What way?”
The Divine Dragon Empress was very surprised by his claim.
She had also thought about this for a long time while talking to him.
But even after thinking it over for so long, she couldn’t come up with any way to turn the situation around.
She really couldn’t figure out what kind of solution Ye Wushuang could possibly have.
“The solution is actually very simple. You and I switch bodies, and then I’ll wipe them all out.”
“You’ll wipe them all out? How is that possible? No, it’s impossible.”
“Are you… are you thinking of switching bodies with me, and then going to die in my place?”
As she said these words, the Divine Dragon Empress began to tremble slightly.
Her heart was filled with anxiety, yet also a glimmer of anticipation. It was a very complex feeling.
If Ye Wushuang truly intended to die for her, there was no way she would ever let him do such a thing.
But at that moment, Ye Wushuang’s tone was very calm, betraying no emotion whatsoever.
“That’s not it at all. It’s simply that I am powerful enough right now. I’m confident I can destroy them.”
“Besides, if you feel uneasy, you can always switch our bodies back anytime.”
If Ye Wushuang had said he was going to sacrifice himself for her, the Divine Dragon Empress would never have agreed.
Only by truly going into battle, only by truly having a chance to survive, would she agree to the body swap.
And sure enough, after hearing those words, the Divine Dragon Empress hesitated.
“Really? Do you really have a way to deal with their several hundred million soldiers and over a hundred Supreme Realm experts?”
“Of course. Don’t forget, I’m someone who has mastered three types of laws.”
“Well… alright then.”
In the end, the Divine Dragon Empress wavered. She was convinced by Ye Wushuang.
So, without anyone noticing, she switched bodies with Ye Wushuang.
After the swap, Ye Wushuang opened his eyes and calmly said to everyone:
“I’ll go meet them and see just what gives them such confidence.”
After saying that, he sent a telepathic message to the Divine Dragon Human Emperor Seal.
“No matter what the Empress says, you are not allowed to switch our bodies back.”
