Nine Mysteries gazed through the void and sighed at length. "The struggle to destroy the Dao was so perilous. Even my elder brother fell..."
Earlier, inside the pavilion, he had heard a voice calling itself [Dark Abyss] ask him to stay, filling Nine Mysteries with anticipation.
"Brother Dark Abyss..."
Lost in memories, Nine Mysteries murmured, momentarily at a loss for words.
As the Jianbing Divine Lord, he presided over war and slaughter. However gifted Meng Chuan might be, his disposition would never have allowed him to offer so much special treatment without first putting the young man through blood and fire.
But his elder brother had spoken, and naturally, he obeyed...
For a time, Nine Mysteries immersed himself in memories of his days with Brother Dark Abyss. As his emotions surged, wisps of mist gathered and dispersed before his eyes.
An enormous claw covered in barbs thrust out through the curling mist.
Then a majestic Black Tortoise appeared before his eyes.
"Brother Dark Abyss!"
Nine Mysteries' eyes lit up, but at the sight, they also involuntarily filled with tears.
Ah... my elder brother really did fall in the struggle to destroy the Dao.
Only a strand of his own will had survived, while his elder brother's body had been destroyed, leaving a remnant soul clinging to life.
"Yuanyuan, it's been a long time..."
Dark Abyss slowly descended, calling to Nine Mysteries affectionately, his own heart equally full of emotion.
Inside the quiet room in the Divine Lord's sanctuary.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on an old-fashioned meditation cushion, silently examining himself. He had no idea the old veteran had disappeared from his inner world, much less that he actually had someone backing him in this secret realm...
Even Zou Wu was not qualified to know about the relationship between Nine Mysteries
