"You can go without worry! This universe will remain as it always was."
"I will not interfere too much with its existence."
Hun Xiu made his promise.
He would not remain in this universe.
His goal was the Myriad Worlds.
This universe?
What did he need to change? There was simply nothing that needed changing.
As for treating this universe kindly?
Did he need to treat it kindly? He had no need to do so at all.
What was this universe like?
It would remain as it was.
He would not make any changes!...
"Alright!"
Li Luo and Zhou Yuan could not help but feel relieved upon hearing Hun Xiu's words.
If...
Hun Xiu was willing to treat this universe kindly!
Then so what if they died?
Death was not frightening! Yet they were filled with immense unwillingness!
As the guardian gods of this universe...
They lacked the strength to protect it! They were sinners!...
"Then off you go!"
Hun Xiu waved his hand.
At that moment, Li Luo and Zhou Yuan's bodies turned into specks of light and dissipated.
As the guardian gods of this universe...
They had completely fallen.
Not even this universe could protect them.
At that moment, the universe let out a mournful cry.
The deaths of Zhou Yuan and Li Luo meant that it had completely lost its guardians.
It had lost its useful puppets.
Hun Xiu watched the specks of light left behind by Li Luo and Zhou Yuan vanish, muttering, "Why bother?"
"Why bother?"
"You could clearly have lived if you submitted to me. Why choose death?"
"Being puppets of the Heavenly Dao and being my puppets..."
"Either way, you become puppets."
"Is there any difference?"
As he watched the last speck of light in the universe completely disappear...
Hun Xiu understood.
