Escape into the ocean?
What a joke!
Gu An did not know what Emperor Fiend was thinking, but he felt that once the human race of the Eight Dynasties Land was wiped out, the demons and monsters would be next to suffer.

Gu An chatted with Emperor Fiend on and off, but his gaze never left the Heaven-Mending Platform. He, too, was weighing whether to intervene.

On one mountain ridge, Lu Lingjun sat cross-legged atop a massive boulder.
