Uriel's senses were incredibly sharp. He immediately noticed that something was off about the Hongmeng Beings.
Following their gaze,
Uriel saw a towering figure standing in the Sea of Origin.
Uriel's pupils contracted sharply. He said in a low voice,
"So you're Ling Tian, the Hongmeng Lord of this era?"
Hearing Uriel's question,
Ling Tian made no attempt to answer. Instead, he looked at the space behind Uriel and sighed softly.
Before Ling Tian became the common master of Hongmeng,
Shen Ji Dao Ren had schemed against him at every turn to seize Hong Huang. He had been a bona fide villain.
Ling Tian hadn't expected Shen Ji Dao Ren to be willing to burn up his life for Hongmeng.
Such integrity truly earned Ling Tian's admiration.

An overwhelming emotion welled up in the hearts of the Hongmeng Beings, at last turning into a chorus of cries...
"Dao Venerable, please stand up for Hongmeng!"
"Dao Venerable,
