"Hm?"
Inside a room, a black-haired man's expression shifted slightly, as if he had sensed something.
He was handsome, but the combination of his features carried a faint trace of sorrow.
He wore a white ancient-style robe with wide sleeves, a long sword hanging at his waist, and sat in a chair.
In front of him knelt seven or eight men and women on one knee.
These men and women all had distinctive appearances, differing in height, build, and stature.
An elderly man in the middle raised his head and asked, "Midnight General, has something happened?"
The man known as "Midnight" shook his head. "I felt as if I was being watched just now. It should be the Human Race tracking the traces I left behind."
"But they don't know that I left those traces deliberately. If they persist in their folly..."
Midnight did not continue. Instead, he looked at everyone before him. "You've done well. You didn't become obsessed with opening the Nameless Void like those other fools."
"What use is that sort of thing?"
"Anything that can descend through the Nameless Void is useless trash!"
"What we have to do is open a passage for His Majesty."
"Let His Majesty Qi Que descend into the Mortal World before the other Thrones!"
Everyone below nodded in agreement.
At that moment, a dark-skinned man with a simple, honest look, resembling a farmer, spoke.
"But, Midnight General, can we open a passage for His Majesty's descent with just the strength we have?"
"Besides, I heard this matter is already being handled by that Majesty among the Third Throne?"
Midnight glanced at him. "It's true that the Li You Gate we're using for our descent was provided by that Majesty."
"But do you think His Majesty Qi Que will trust him?"
"No.
