But... just when everyone thought Princess Huiming would give in, she slowly straightened her body. Although her black python robe was torn, her spine remained ramrod straight.
She raised her head, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, and stared intently at the will in the sky with her cold eyes. Her voice was not loud, but it clearly resounded throughout the entire royal court.
“Father, I did say that.”
"If you want to kill her, step over my dead body!"
"This is my promise to her, and also my answer to you."
Upon hearing Princess Huiming's reply, Cloud Cat God-King, who was being controlled by a group of God-Kings, burst into tears. She struggled desperately to break free and run out to stand in front of Princess Huiming, but her mouth was tightly covered and she was suppressed.
The eyes of the group of god-kings were already red, and some of the more emotional goddess-kings even turned their faces away to secretly wipe away their tears.
Meanwhile, the royal court's high-ranking officials and the gods of destruction, who were all watching this great battle, remained completely silent.

at the same time.
Hundreds of kilometers outside the "Destroyed Royal Court," Qiu Tu, hiding in a valley, couldn't help but have a complicated expression.
After realizing that Princess Huiming would abandon Cloud Cat God King, he not only secretly switched Cloud Cat God King back, but also... left several special marks on the other God Kings.
The mark served no other purpose than to transmit the images they saw to Qiu Tu in real time. But it was enough for Qiu Tu to witness the great battle firsthand through their perspective.
To be honest, Qiu Tu was deeply shocked when he saw Princess Huiming defeated by the Tyrant of Destruction in one blow.
His shock stemmed not only from his genuine surprise that a God-King who had embarked on the path to supreme power was so much stronger than a High-Rank God-King, but also from... the choice made by the Radiant Princess.
Qiu Tu always believed that he was very good at judging people, and he had long ago established a personality model for Princess Huiming in his mind: a pure politician who was solely driven by self-interest.
But now, he has to admit that he may very well be... wrong.
Princess Huiming may appear to be a politician who prioritizes self-interest, but deep down she has her own principles.
This is why she made a choice at a crucial moment that was completely different from her usual approach.
Such people are actually quite rare. But a group of them always emerges during periods of great historical change. This is an extremely special quality.
This completely changed Qiu Tu's impression of Princess Huiming.
Furthermore, considering Princess Huiming's repeated attempts to win him and Zhao Ji over, including her advances, attempts to recruit them, and even promises...
A thought involuntarily formed in Qiu Tu's mind.
'Perhaps...she is a companion who can be nurtured and trusted.'
Thinking this, Qiu Tu fell silent.
Because he realized that discovering this now seemed rather pointless. Because... the companion he had his eye on seemed... about to die.
Thinking this, Qiu Tu couldn't help but wonder if there was any way to save Hui's life.
With Qiu Tu's sharp mind, two ideas came to him in an instant.
But each of these ideas comes at a significant cost. Not only would it disrupt his plans, it might even prematurely plunge him and Zhao Ji into danger.
This made Qiu Tu hesitate a little.
Moreover... besides the price he would have to pay, Qiu Tu hesitated about another thing: was the Radiant Princess really so powerless against the Tyrant of Destruction?
It should be noted that although Princess Huiming is a high-level God-King, she is known for her strategy and domestic affairs in the "Eternal Continent".
She knew the power of the Destruction Tyrant a thousand years ago, and then ruled the Destruction Court for a thousand years, enduring for a thousand years. Did she really not have any trump cards or backup plans to contend with the Destruction Tyrant?
Even if the incident happened suddenly and she didn't have time to use her trump cards, she shouldn't have lost so completely, right?
At that moment, just as Qiu Tu was thinking this...
Suddenly... the situation that threatened to destroy the royal court took a dramatic turn...
Faced with the unyielding attitude of Princess Huiming and the overwhelming will of the Tyrant of Destruction, rage had almost materialized, making the entire royal court seem to be ablaze...
"Good, good, good...you're such a good daughter."
The destructive tyrant's deep voice echoed through the heavens, each word carrying a devastating pressure that weighed heavily on the hearts of all the gods of destruction.
"You dare to defy me like this? Are you sure I wouldn't dare kill you?"
"Do you think that if I kill you, I won't be able to control the other high-level god-kings of the 'Destruction Path'? Or do you think that I'll be severely weakened, affecting the path struggle in the next era?"
As he spoke, the Destroyer Tyrant's voice took on a chilling tone, "But I must tell you... you underestimated me, and you overestimated yourself."
"The royal court can function without anyone!"
"If you're not willing to do it, there are plenty of people who are!"
"In the entire royal court, only I am irreplaceable!"
As they spoke, the sky above the entire Destroyer Kingdom suddenly darkened.
Endless destructive divine power surged forth from the depths of the royal court, converging above the nine heavens. It was no longer the giant hand of before, but a destructive nebula composed of pure laws of destruction.
Within the nebula, countless scenes of worlds being born and dying flashed by, with lightning swirling and black holes rising and falling, as if it were the prelude to the final judgment.
The mere aura emanating from that nebula caused swathes of space to collapse, and the chains of laws to snap like fragile strings.
Faced with that scene that seemed to be the end of the world, the souls of all the deities of destruction trembled incessantly, and boundless fear arose in their hearts.
'It's over. His Highness Huiming can't possibly survive.'
'The gap is too big; this is not even on the same level of power...'
Countless divine thoughts communicated in despair.
Some cunning god-kings are already preparing to leave, and then, after the fall of Radiant Life, pledge their loyalty to the Tyrant of Destruction. They are trying to gain as much benefit as possible from this great reshuffling of the "Court of Destruction."
Of course, while some chose the tyrant of destruction, others firmly chose the radiant princess...
Amidst the apocalyptic scene, a goddess-king resolutely soared into the sky, standing before the Radiant Princess. She spoke no words, but her resolute figure spoke volumes.
This action seemed to ignite something...
After a few seconds of silence, suddenly...
"Your Highness!"
"I am willing to die with Your Highness!"
Streams of light and countless figures flew out from every corner of the royal court, converging into a torrent of steel that resolutely stood in front of the Radiant Princess's broken body.
Among them were high-ranking officials, gods in charge of a department, and many young deities personally promoted by the Radiant Princess or moved by her personal charm.
They used their own bodies to form a fragile yet indestructible shield, firmly standing in front of Princess Huiming.
If you treat someone as a national hero, you will surely repay them as a national hero in return.
Even the team of God Kings who had always obeyed the orders of the Radiant Princess and bound the Cloud Cat God King no longer hindered him.
Cloud Cat God King transformed into a streak of silver light and rushed towards Radiant Life in the ruins, while the other God Kings followed without hesitation and stood in the "shield".
As more and more gods, disregarding their own lives, stood before her, a ripple finally appeared in the cold eyes of the Radiant Princess amidst the ruins.
She tried to speak, but a metallic taste filled her throat, so she could only bite her lip tightly.
High above, the Destruction Tyrant watched this scene of "united will" with rage slowly building within him.
He laughed in his anger.
"Good, good! All the loyal ministers, good generals, and subjects I've cultivated over the years have actually turned against me!"
His voice was chilling, as if it came from hell.
"Do you really believe that the law can't punish everyone, or do you think I wouldn't dare to kill someone?!"
"You must know that a commoner's anger might at most result in bloodshed within five steps. But an emperor's anger can lead to the deaths of millions!"
As he said this, the Destroyer Tyrant paused for a second.
"It seems that my thousand years of inactivity have truly made you all forget my methods!"
As the words of the Destruction Tyrant faded.
The next second, the destructive nebula hovering in the sky crashed down, about to crush Princess Huiming and all these disobedient ones into dust!
And then, at that very moment!
Suddenly, the "Destruction Royal Court" began to shake violently without warning.
At first, everyone thought it was because the Destroyer Tyrant's move was too powerful.
But it only took a moment for them to realize that something was wrong.
Because, the next second, accompanied by a crisp "buzz-crack-" sound.
A thick, black crack, as thick as a mountain range, appeared out of nowhere in the sky above the royal court.
Then, through the ever-spreading cracks, the outside world seeped in. It was an endless dark void, and within that void, countless dazzling points of light shone.
That is the glory of the gods!
Thousands upon thousands, densely packed, countless!
They gathered into an ocean of light, enveloping the entire "Court of Destruction" from all directions, like a giant net tightening around it.
One after another, incredibly powerful auras surged forth from the cracks like a flood bursting its banks, then converged into a single force and hurtled towards the Tyrant's Palace!
In that instant, a soft "Hmm?" came from the heavens above, emanating from the Destruction Tyrant.
The next second, the attack that was about to hit Princess Huiming was abruptly changed course by the Tyrant of Destruction!
A deafening "BOOM!" was heard!
The two powerful destructive forces collided, causing the entire Destruction Kingdom to shatter space and shift mountains and rivers!
Immediately afterwards, two distinctly different voices, like thunderclaps, exploded simultaneously above the shattered and destroyed royal court.
A voice, domineering and powerful, like thousands of thunderbolts exploding simultaneously in one's ears, shook all the gods, causing their blood and qi to surge.
Another voice, fiery and intense like a volcanic eruption, carried a scorching heat and fury that seemed to burn the entire world.
"Your Majesty, we know you are very strong and never hesitate to kill."
"But... what if we don't fight you, but instead destroy the 'Destruction Court' world at all costs?"
"As the ruler of this world, can you truly bear the cost of the destruction of the 'Royal Court' world?"
"Do you think it's worth it to trade our lives for the destruction of your path?"
As they spoke, two colossal projections of deities, towering to the heavens and standing tall, slowly coalesced above the "Destruction Court."
The projection on the left was tens of thousands of feet tall. It seemed to be made of flowing magma and inextinguishable flames. Crimson divine fire burned around it, turning half the sky crimson.
The projection on the right was enveloped in endless black lightning. A pair of eyes made of pure lightning coldly stared at Wang Tingshen.
It turned out to be... the second and fourth high-level god-kings of the Destruction Path: Yan Hao and Lillard.
Two high-ranking god-kings appeared at the most crucial moment.
At this point, the four high-level god-kings of the Destruction Path have all gathered.
Moreover, all three kings rebelled!
At that moment, the entire Destroyer Kingdom fell silent...
Whether it was the tyrant of destruction or the god-kings and gods who were watching this great war, they all fell silent.
No one expected that a minor questioning of the Radiant Princess by the Destruction Tyrant would lead to such a escalation of events.
This can no longer be summarized as a father and daughter falling out; it represents a complete break at the highest level of the entire "Destruction Faction."
This is a momentous event that could overturn the millennia-long格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or pattern) of the entire "Ancient Continent"!
Meanwhile, a hundred miles away, Qiu Tu, who was watching this great battle closely, suddenly became serious and revealed a "just as I thought" expression on his face!
In fact, Qiu Tu had noticed a strange detail when he was reviewing the information and data about Princess Huiming:
That is... In the beginning, when the Destruction Tyrant ruled the "Destruction Royal Court," the other high-ranking god-kings did not actually submit to him.
Both the Flame God King and the Lillard God King had rebelled or disobeyed the orders of the Destruction Tyrant. They even split off from the Destruction Royal Court.
However... when Princess Huiming became a high-ranking god-king and personally persuaded them, they quickly chose to submit and ultimately chose to merge their forces into the "Destruction Royal Court".
