Chapter 130 The Empress Destroyed Your Country (56)

Sad? Not at all.

Heartbroken? Neither.

No one could stop him anymore, so he should be happy, right? As long as he waited a little longer, he would surely be able to get out, right?

System 168 had been drawing curse circles for decades. Watching Bai Tang grow old, it felt pleased.

So what if she was powerful? She still couldn’t escape the fate of mortal life, aging, sickness, and death.

This time, it decided not to pull Bai Tang into the next world, letting her die of old age in this one. It would return to the Space-Time Administration, recover, and then choose someone smarter, with a less robust soul, to bind and continue the task of reforming the blackened big boss.

System 168 had naive thoughts, but unfortunately, Bai Tang wouldn’t let it succeed.

Song Zhi and Atulu were together—Song Zhi had left a few years ago. Wen Yueqing had raised a young man several years younger than her, and that young man later shed tears for her. Ayimu, the beautiful girl, danced at Bai Tang’s birthday every year. Twenty years ago, this exotic and gorgeous girl died in battle, exchanging it for victory. Little General Shen Zhi, carrying her body, begged for a favor, and later, Little General Shen married a gentle southern girl…

Most people had a good ending, with someone to accompany them, someone to love them excessively. However, Bai Tang, throughout her life, had never been close to any man. She came cleanly and left cleanly.

Bai Tang timed it perfectly, and her maids dressed her with both dignity and kindness.

“Little system, still playing dead?”

This was a youthful voice, and System 168 was momentarily stunned.

“Weren’t you quite happy being an empress? Then stay here for the rest of your life.”

System 168 adamantly refused to give Bai Tang a younger body.

“Little system, are you really stupid or just truly foolish? Don’t forget that your life is still in my hands. Since you’re not obedient, I’ll destroy another third of your core data.” Bai Tang spoke casually.

Destroying this little system’s data was easy for her. She had to show the system a bit of authority—otherwise, it would never learn its lesson.

In an instant, a third of System 168’s core data was destroyed again. Bai Tang deliberately left some of its functions intact while destroying other less desirable ones.

“You—”

“Heh! Little system, to destroy one like you is a breeze, and if I so desire, destroying your entire Space-Time Administration wouldn’t be difficult either. Do you want to test my patience? Hurry to the next world! If you continue to be disobedient, the next data loss will be half, and you’ll become a completely useless system. Even the Space-Time Administration won’t be able to help you.”

Bai Tang kindly reminded this foolish system.

They say those who understand the situation are wise. Why couldn’t this little system figure things out?

“Don’t, I’ll take you to the next world, alright?” System 168 pleaded.

“Quickly,” Bai Tang urged.

A white light flashed. The founding empress of the Great Sheng Empire lost her breath. She departed with a radiant smile, as if she had fallen into a peaceful slumber.

The funeral bell tolled, the world turned somber, and the mournful sound lingered in the air.

Nie Suzhi faintly heard sorrowful voices everywhere, wrapping him in an impenetrable cocoon.

This sound, it seemed familiar… But back then, it didn’t seem so sincere.

The Empress must have passed away, right?

What if she had trapped him for decades? He was still alive and well, while she had aged and died. For the time to come, all he needed to do was wait.

Shouldn’t the iron cage have rusted by now? Why hasn’t it?

In the vast expanse of time, in this not-too-big, not-too-small corner of the world, he couldn’t see the sun, the moon, or the stars. He couldn’t feel the wind, nor could he see any greenery.

Unable to get out from inside, he could only wait for someone from the outside to come in.
