After witnessing that unparalleled proposal, with the galaxy as the betrothal gift and worlds as the offering, the other members of the Abyss Seven Generals remained silent for a long time.
They had followed Su Chen from the bottom of Douluo Continent, fighting their way to the Divine Realm, then onward to overlook the myriad worlds.
They had long regarded Su Chen as their faith.
Now that they saw Su Chen had found his home, they felt both relieved and lost.
Their lord no longer needed generals like them.
So where did their futures lie?
Upon the Gobi.
At the heart of the grassland he had created with his own hands.
Su Chen summoned everyone.
"Today, I called you all here to announce something."
Su Chen sat upon a Throne woven from Ling Shuang's vines.
His gaze passed over Mo Qianye, Yan Wuji, Jiang Tieyi, Ye Linglong, and Ling Shuang in turn.
"From today onward, the Abyss Seven Generals are officially disbanded."
The moment those words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed drastically.
"My lord!"
Jiang Tieyi was the first to panic.
With a thud, he dropped to one knee.
In a deep, muffled voice, he shouted, "Did Tieyi do something wrong? Please don't drive me away! I can eat less from now on!"
"My lord, we swear to follow you unto death!"
Mo Qianye's voice remained cold, but his determination was immense.
Yan Wuji, Ye Linglong, and Ling Shuang all knelt as well.
Su Chen had pulled them out of the Abyss.
Without Su Chen, they did not know where else they could go.
"All of you, get up."
Su Chen's tone grew firmer.
They did not dare disobey and slowly rose.
Their faces were still filled with fear and unease.
Su Chen looked at them, sighed, and then smiled.
