Induction and Breaking the Game

Seeing Natsume leave.

A High Priest Yama hidden in the sewage below swiftly followed after him.

He quickly caught up to Natsume.

"Good lad!"

"You're already this powerful just after breaking through. The Law of Time truly is extraordinary..."

He had known for a long time

that the Otsutsuki Royal Family had been slaughtering the Yellow Spring Remnants and secretly gathering [Yellow Spring Pure Water].

But he had never imagined that the purified water they had collected was meant for [King Zhenruo] to break
