"Cough, cough—"
Inside the Fallen Fire Temple, the Acting God returned New Sun's body, but he himself dropped to his knees, coughing up blood violently.
Having forcibly controlled the not-yet-fully-formed New Sun, both his body and mind had borne an immense burden. He was gravely wounded, on the verge of death.
Kem, White Can, and the others hurried forward, intending to support him.
But the Acting God raised a hand to stop them. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he slowly rose to his feet, let out a deep breath, and smiled.
"I—succeeded!"
"I found—cough, cough—the future where New Sun descends—"
Even the intense pain could not suppress the joy in his heart.
Although the spatial source essence they had obtained this time was incomplete, even controlling just a fraction of it finally gave Fallen Fire Twilight the right to sit at the table.
He had made the right choice.
If he had chosen to attack Candlefire back then, he would have gained nothing. Even if Candlefire had been destroyed, Fallen Fire Twilight would still have stood no chance against The End.
But now, the situation was different.
Candlefire had obtained the power to contend against The End. The End's strength had also been weakened. Fallen Fire Twilight had finally taken its seat at the table and gained the right to claim a share.
How the future would end was still unknown!
Between gasps, the Acting God told the several subordinates present about what had happened earlier, including Fallen Fire Wang Dao.
Even Fallen Fire Wang Dao could not help muttering after hearing of the Acting God's actions, "Impressive—"
"Acting God, you truly are—" White Can's reverence was impossible to conceal.
As expected of the lord he followed. With such boldness, success was inevitable!
"But, Acting God—"
