After reading the Dragonfolk's records of Shen Yu, Qin Shuo sighed.
"Why did someone like him have to belong to the Demon Race...?"
There were few records of Shen Yu, but every one carried tremendous weight. A Great Sage who had attained the Dao through sheer power, he disregarded the karma of the Heavenly Dao and single-handedly suppressed three Sages of Humankind, forcibly reversing a situation in which humans had held the advantage over demons.

Nian seemed to notice that gaze as well and let out a roar in
