Magnolia Great Emperor had returned to the capital of the Magnolia Empire just the day before. What awaited him was a complete disaster. The whole country was riddled with armed conflict, on the verge of collapse. Before he could even make sense of the situation, the Abyss Realm launched a massive invasion...
In just one day, Magnolia Great Emperor had aged considerably. Facing the Empire's devastation, he was utterly exhausted. He had tried everything to quell the chaos, yet still couldn't stop the nation from crumbling at a terrifying pace.
He truly had done all he could, but no matter how hard he tried, it all seemed pale and meaningless.
He had been discussing how to handle the crisis with a group of trusted advisors in the great hall when the messenger's arrival made him feel as if he'd plunged into an icy abyss.
A man named Bai Yang had come to see him!
The name Bai Yang meant nothing to him, but the instant the messenger spoke the words God Slayer, Magnolia Great Emperor's heart sank to the bottom.
At that moment, he felt a despair unlike anything he'd ever known. Not even the Empire's collapse and the chaos engulfing the world had made him feel so hopeless.
Because that man was the God Slayer. He had personally witnessed him kill a tenth-tier divine spirit!
And now, that man had come...
There was no point in running, and Magnolia Great Emperor had nowhere to flee. All he could do was face him in despair.
He had still been clinging to a sliver of hope, but when he led his people outside the palace and saw Bai Yang with his own eyes, all hope vanished.
Even now, Magnolia Great Emperor could still vividly recall what had happened at the Tower
