Disappointment was not built up once or twice.
Disappointment was piled up time and time again!
Su Bai saw Yuan Heng visiting the various ancient Kings again and again in order to defeat the Demon World.
Yet very few were willing to answer his call!
Of course, it was not that there were none.
That had still been an era of purity.
Su Bai also saw that several Kings had fought shoulder to shoulder with Yuan Heng.
But they all had one thing in common.
Those Kings were all very young.
Young by a King's standards—new Kings born within the past few eras.
For example...
The Demon-Slayer King!
The war lasted through long years, spanning tens of millions of years.
The Immortal Realm suffered grievous losses. Some Kings even perished, and not a single ray of victory could be seen.
After an unknown length of time, Yuan Heng, drenched in blood, came alone beneath the immortal tree.
"Where are... your subordinates?"
After healing his injuries, the Life Immortal King hesitated before asking.
"Dead."
Grief showed in Yuan Heng's eyes.
"All dead..."
"The kind that cannot be revived."
He murmured another addition.
The Life Immortal King opened her mouth, wanting to say something, yet stopping herself.
The two once more fell into a long silence.
After a long while, Yuan Heng closed his eyes. Taking a deep breath, he slowly said, "Thank you for helping me recover."
The Life Immortal King shook her head and smiled. "We are friends. Such a small matter is not worth mentioning."
After a moment of silence, Yuan Heng said, "Once this war is over, I will offer you a gift in thanks!"
"Mm." The Life Immortal King nodded in agreement.
"Senior Yuan Heng..."
Watching this scene, Su Bai spoke, seemingly wanting to ask something.
