Bearing the vicissitudes of ages, shouldering a mission spanning ages, enduring the loneliness of ages...
That deep, mighty voice stirred Xiao Ying's soul, and shook the souls of countless people of the Pangu World!
Everyone could profoundly feel the will, state of mind, mission, responsibility, and... hot-blooded passion of Divine General Ji Geng and the Heaven-Piercing Divine Guards!
Through ages of waiting, their mission had never been forgotten, their blood had never cooled, their passion had never waned!
What strength of mind, perseverance, and resolve did that require?!
Throughout history and across the world, countless supreme beings had been unable to endure the torment of this "prison." Like moths flying into a flame, they had hurled themselves toward the heavens, wave after wave, seeking only a fleeting moment of splendor, a momentary bloom, seeking only the hazy, elusive Great Dao.
But the vast majority simply could not bear the loneliness or endure the torment!
What of the Heaven-Piercing Divine Guards?!
They had waited through ages, sealed through ages, willingly becoming clay-and-stone statues like Terracotta Warriors. They had imprisoned themselves in clay and stone, enduring the torment of time and endless solitude, waiting silently for the blood, passion, responsibility, and mission of those bygone days, all for a single moment of brilliance...
"But..."
Sorrow showed on Xiao Ying's face. He could not bear it, and his expression was torn.
Heaven-Slaying Enlightenment required painstaking precision and flawless preparations. It could never succeed through haste, nor through a reckless disregard for death. There was no room for luck!
Otherwise, how much stronger than Xiao Ying was Devil Emperor Chi You? Would the struggle to achieve Heaven-Slaying Enlightenment have continued to this day?
In Xiao Ying's view, he had done everything possible with the current preparations. They were sufficient, but still not perfect! Even
