The plague of mutations on the Demon Continent had plagued the world of cultivators for a long time, but it had finally been quelled. No more innocent cultivators or living beings would be harmed by Mutated Beasts.
The White-haired Old Man also showed a trace of relief. "Good child, you finally did the right thing. These Mutated Beasts were innocent to begin with; they were merely controlled by you. Now that they have somewhere to belong, it can be considered partial atonement for your mistakes."
Tian Wei fell silent for a moment before speaking. "This is only the beginning. Back then, for the sake of revenge, I spread the virus, causing countless living beings to mutate and killing many innocent people. These sins cannot be atoned for overnight."
"Once the matters here are dealt with, I will travel across the Demon Continent to treat the living beings harmed by the Mutated Beasts and restore the homes that were destroyed."
Lin Taichu nodded. "Your intentions are good. The disaster is severe throughout the Demon Continent, and people are indeed needed to provide aid. I can accompany you. Perhaps I can be of some help."
"Thank you." Tian Wei looked at Lin Taichu, the hatred in his eyes gone, replaced by a trace of gratitude.
"If not for you, I might have remained blinded by hatred and continued down the wrong path. In the end, I would have suffered the fate of exploding to death, never learning the truth about my mother."
"No need for thanks." Lin Taichu spoke calmly. "I came to the Demon Continent to quell the mutation disaster. Now that I know of the conspiracy from back then, I will naturally help you clear the Empress's name and eliminate Tian Jin."
The winds atop Supreme Peak gradually died down.
