"Lord Yi, Second Lord..."
Shaken, Lin Yuan murmured their names.
The scene just now had been so much like what he had witnessed the first time he returned to the Battle of the Heavenly Gate!
The same charge to the death, the same... journey with no return.
Yes, Lin Yuan knew full well that Lord Yi and the Second Lord would never return.
If they lost, that went without saying.

"Huh? Why's it stuttering? This projection's quality is awful! I want a refund!"
Curses rang out among the spectators on the Endless Sea.
Most low-ranking Transcendents could not understand what the scene before them
