Success and the unexpected-you never knew which would come first.
Lianshan Xin had undoubtedly succeeded, perfectly fulfilling his expectations. With his Dharma Form newly formed, he now felt he was the strongest Great Grandmaster in history, with a chance to contend for the strongest Dharma Form in history.
But on the Heavenly Queen's side, something unexpected had happened.
Time turned back an hour.
The Heavenly Queen had considered that she might be no match for Xie Guanhai. After all, he had eaten more salt than she had traveled roads. But she had her own trump cards. Over the years, she and Xie Tianxia had put no small amount of effort into dealing with him in private. Her understanding of Xie Guanhai far exceeded his imagination.
What the Heavenly Queen had not expected was that Xie Guanhai would throw his life away.
"Xie Guanhai, have you gone mad? You're actually burning your lifespan! How many years do you have left?"
When the Heavenly Queen saw Xie Guanhai's bloodshot eyes, a sign that his blood and vital energy were burning to their utmost, she went numb.
She was in her prime and could not bear to burn her lifespan to fight him, yet Xie Guanhai, whose days were numbered, was spending his life to fight her.
Xie Guanhai's voice was utterly calm. "Precisely because I have few years left, I must stake everything on one last attempt. Yan Shuang, if you're willing to cooperate, how about I become Imperial Preceptor and support you as Empress?"
The Heavenly Queen felt that Xie Guanhai really had gone mad.
But Xie Guanhai soon revealed another trump card.
"Yan Shuang, guess why I could leave the Divine Capital and journey here to Divine Dragon Island in spirit. Normally, I should be trapped in the Imperial Palace."
