Heavenly King Hall.
The main hall had been sealed off completely after the battle.
The Human Supreme Council—or rather, a private meeting of the Three Human Heavenly Kings—was in session.
At the head of the hall, First Heavenly King Xiao Qingtian leisurely polished a pearl.
His white robes were spotless, his long beard hung to his chest, and a kindly smile rested on his face.
But a hawk's sharp gleam flashed now and then in his seemingly clouded old eyes.
"So—"
A gentle woman's voice came from the left.
Second Heavenly King Freya sat there, her Emerald Green Dress as fresh as spring leaves. Thoughtful light shone in her jade-green eyes.
She held a steaming cup of Clear Tea, its fragrance mingling with the hall's aged wood scent.
"The Undead Demon God and the Succubus God really both fell?"
"Without a doubt."
Xiao Qingtian tossed the pearl into the air with a smile.
Light bloomed from it, and scenes appeared amid the shifting glow.
Boom—
The Undead Demon God self-destructed.
Boom—
The Succubus God self-destructed.
There were also scenes of the Demon Gods fighting, and most importantly, the conversation in which the Blood Demon God admitted he was the King Behind the Scenes.
It even showed Xiao Qingtian appearing and joining forces with the Blood Demon God against the Succubus God.
"This was her final 'gift.'"
Xiao Qingtian retrieved the Recording Pearl and rubbed its surface with his fingertips.
"It recorded the whole affair: how the Blood Demon God helped us trap and kill the Undead Demon God, how he used the God Devouring Scroll to ambush the Succubus God, and how he admitted to everything."
Su Baye slapped his armrest.
"Good! Now the Blood Demon God couldn't wash his name clean even if he jumped into the Nether River!"
