"There will inevitably be a battle in the future!"
This was all but inevitable.
Li Qingyue understood perfectly well that once she reached the pinnacle of the world, she would inevitably draw the scrutiny and murderous interference of the Ancient Supremes and the Undying Heavenly Emperor.
The Forbidden Zone Supremes would never wish to see one Great Emperor after another emerge in the future, hindering them from devouring lives and lying dormant in pursuit of longevity.
