White Garment stood between heaven and earth.
A brilliant light shone in his eyes.
It was as though he were the ruler of heaven and earth.
The Ancient God's corpse slowly floated before him.
A voice crossed space and reached the ears of everyone from the Dragon Kingdom.
"Have you thought this through? Abandoning Immortal Ascension to trade your life for an immortal's body?"
"You haven't undergone the transformation, so you cannot truly merge with the Ancient God's body. The price of forcing the merger..."
"You will be rejected or even erased by the Ancient God's lingering consciousness."
It was Yue's voice.
The grief in his tone made everyone present frown.
White Garment was abandoning Immortal Ascension?
He was going to sacrifice himself?
Or... had he never intended to ascend to immortality in the first place?
Little White Tiger's eyes widened, countless questions filling his mind.
Becoming an immortal meant enjoying eternal life. Wouldn't that make it easier to protect the Dragon Kingdom?
"His heart holds nothing but the Dragon Kingdom. How could he abandon his countrymen and go to the immortal realm for his own desires?"
The leading figures all lowered their eyes, a flicker of anguish passing through them.
Elder Ji shook his head sorrowfully, tears welling in his aged eyes.
"Actually... White Garment told us the entire plan before attempting Immortal Ascension."
"If he could ascend successfully, all well and good. If becoming an immortal proved impossible... he would take the Western Divine Court down with him, leaving future generations a Dragon Kingdom free of threats."
"Now it seems..." Boss gazed at White Garment's imposing back with a pained expression and murmured, "He still deceived us. Young White Garment probably wanted to slaughter his way through the Divine Court even more."
Otherwise, there was no explaining why
