It took Lu Yang a long while to calm his surging emotions.
To be honest, hearing Sky Soaring's voice, twisted with shock and fury, at the end had felt absolutely fantastic. All the frustration he had been bottling up seemed to have finally burst out.
"This isn't over yet!"
"Sky Soaring, was it? Just you wait. Once I reach Late Golden Core, the first place I'm going is the Netherworld. I'll remember this grudge for the rest of my life!"
Lu Yang cursed for quite a while longer before finally settling down and surveying his surroundings.
For Lu Yang, this was an exceedingly subtle experience. Heaven was chaos, earth was Void Darkness, and he alone stood in the center of this world.
The Hundred Lives Book slowly turned its pages.
This was the "standby state" before every restart of the Hundred Lives Book. Previously, it had flashed by in an instant, so he had never felt it too keenly.
Yet this time was clearly different. The duration of the "standby" state had been greatly extended. In Lu Yang's palm, that sliver of Gold Nature from Suo Huan glimmered faintly, gradually merging into the Hundred Lives Book. At last, lines of text appeared on the panel before him.
``` Settling the experiences of "Suo Huan."
As the Favored of Fortune of the "Huanxu Realm," you accepted a grave duty in a time of crisis and resisted the invasion from an unknown world. You swore to fulfill your mission.
You fought valiantly and devised countless schemes.
You grew swiftly, soon reaching the peak of cultivation in the "Huanxu Realm." Gathering the strength of all, you finally defeated the unknown invaders.
Proud and satisfied, you prepared to retire with your many beloved companions.
Then a True Lord descended.
The "Huanxu Realm" was destroyed.
