After a long while, Xiao Tianyang said thoughtfully, "Then let's be more cautious and defend through offense."
He had his own standards for judgment.
A strong desire for battle was part of his personality, but it did not define all of him.
First, the rewards from the Heavenly Dao and the Abyss would appear at the continent's core.
And now, the continent's core was in their hands.
