Heavenly Star Sea Region!
Above one of the ten thousand miles of uninhabited islands.
Lin Heng and his group came here to test the Pangu Axe.
Lin Heng took out the Pangu Axe and gave it to Dijiang.
Dijiang, having received the Pangu Axe, looked up and gazed ahead.
He then channeled his energy and swung the Pangu Axe forward with a sudden burst of power.
A tremendous golden light burst forth from the tip of the axe.
A burst of golden light exploded into the sky, completely covering the sky over a 50,000-mile stretch of sea.
Then, the golden light that filled the sky rapidly contracted.
Finally, the golden light transformed into a golden axe mark, which slammed straight into the sea surface.
A deafening roar swept across tens of thousands of miles of sea.
Suddenly, the waves surged and the wind howled.
Even the sun in the sky hid behind the clouds.
The sea was shrouded in darkness.
Looking down from the air.
The sea surface struck by golden light.
You can see the seabed 10,000 meters below the surface clearly.
After his initial attack, Dijiang did not launch another attack.
He turned around and looked at Lin Heng and the others, then gave a wry smile.
This surprised Lin Heng and the others.
Could it be that even Dijiang couldn't freely use the Pangu Axe?
The next second!
Dijiang handed the Pangu Axe back to Lin Heng before saying:
"Even those at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm probably cannot use it at will."
"In my estimation, the Pangu Axe might be useful if used in a desperate last-ditch effort."
"But in a real battle, even I would be drained by it."
Dijiang's words surprised everyone.
The power of a strong person at the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm can only be described as terrifying.
If even someone at Dijiang's level can't use it at will.
What kind of powerful being was Pangu Axe prepared for?
Does it mean one needs to reach the level of Primordial Chaos to use it freely?
At this moment, Dijiang spoke again:
"After all, we only have four layers of the universe."
"Even if I were to reach the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm now, in terms of the intensity of cosmic energy..."
"It's not much better than its master."
"But if the master breaks through to the Eternal Ages Cosmic Origin Realm with the foundation of a fifth-layered universe world..."
"Perhaps it wouldn't be too difficult to use the Pangu Axe at will."
Dijiang's words were also agreed upon by his Good and Evil Doppelgangers and the other Twelve Ancestral Witches.
Perhaps this time it's the top-tier spiritual treasure Pangu Axe.
It was prepared precisely for powerful individuals like Lin Heng, Primordial Chaos, and Mu Chen.
Before the others could say anything more, they stopped talking.
Suddenly, a figure flew over at lightning speed.
I sensed the presence of that figure.
Lin Heng and the others were somewhat surprised.
Dijiang looked in the direction from which the streak of light was rapidly approaching and pondered:
"Why is Hermoz here?"
As Dijiang finished speaking...
The streak of light flashed and stopped dozens of meters in front of Lin Heng and the others.
After all, the two sides are not on friendly terms.
Hermoz was also afraid that if he flew directly towards Lin Heng...
Perhaps, for safety's sake, Dijiang will take direct action.
As he landed in mid-air, Hermoz looked at Lin Heng and smiled slightly, first expressing his goodwill.
Seeing this, Lin Heng asked curiously:
"You came to see me?"
Upon hearing this, Hermoz bowed apologetically and said:
"I've come here to apologize for the foolish things I did in the past."
Hermoz was referring, of course, to the matter of sending people to Nine Heavens to deal with Liu Ling'er.
However, for Lin Heng and the others, this was an incredibly strange event.
Hermoz actually took the initiative to apologize in person?
Given his personality, this would have happened in the past.
That's something he absolutely couldn't do, even if he were killed.
What's wrong with me today?
Even back in the Heavenly Star Sea Region.
Hermoz's mindset has indeed changed.
But now it seems that this change is far too drastic!
Hermoz seemed to understand the reason for Lin Heng and the others' astonishment.
He smiled slightly and explained:
"I have indeed caused you all a lot of trouble in the past."
"All I want now is your forgiveness."
"Everything is like a dream, a bubble, and has no real meaning."
"I'm tired of fighting these past years."
"Compared to a life filled with daily scheming and backstabbing."
"Right now, I just want to relax."
"I only feel guilty about what happened to your aunt."
"I hope that you can gain your understanding, Auntie."
If Hermoz's previous words only surprised Lin Heng somewhat...
His words just now aroused Lin Heng's suspicion.
Has Hermoz done fewer things against his conscience over the years?
Why is he so fixated on his own mother?
To say there wasn't something fishy going on here...
Lin Heng absolutely refused to believe it.
However, as the saying goes...
You can't hit someone who's smiling at you.
Hermoz came in such a humble manner.
He was even smiling as he apologized.
Of course, I still have to play along with him.
Lin Heng also wanted to see what this guy was really up to.
"Since Brother Hermoz has come..."
I think we should go back and talk about it then.
After all, this isn't the place to talk.
A group of people can't just stand in the air and chat like that, can they?
At Lin Heng's suggestion.
The group returned to the palace.
Regarding Hermoz's arrival.
Lin Heng also specially arranged for a table of fine wine and food to be prepared.
Although those who have reached their level of strength no longer need to eat to sustain their lives.
But without wine and food, the conversation just lacks a certain atmosphere, doesn't it?
At the dinner table, everyone toasted and exchanged drinks.
In no time at all.
The ten jars of fine wine were emptied.
While the people below went to get the wine, they took advantage of the moment.
Hermoz also spoke as if he were drunk.
"Brother Lin Heng, you don't know, but throughout the entire Four Seas, you are probably the only one who dares to speak so freely in front of our master."
"Every time we meet with our master, we do so with dread."
Lin Heng chuckled inwardly.
Hermoz initially wanted to apologize to his mother Liu Ling'er.
But after he sat down, he never mentioned it again.
So, was this guy's apology sincere?
It's probably just an excuse to get closer to me.
Now Lin Heng was completely certain.
Hermoz came to find him.
It's definitely not a matter of feeling guilty that's causing him to lose sleep and appetite.
However, in order to further investigate his intentions...
Lin Heng didn't expose him, but instead feigned drunkenness and asked with a smile:
" Primordial Chaos is a very kind person, why are you all so afraid of him?"
Hermoz raised the bowl of wine again, drank it all in one gulp, then shook his head and said:
"Brother Lin Heng, that's a privilege only you receive."
"To our master, even we disciples are dispensable."
"Back when I had just ascended to the Four Seas."
"Back then, the lord of the Western Celebratory Demon Sea angered my master with just one sentence."
As a result, not only was his cultivation completely destroyed.
"Even his soul was destroyed by his master."
"He ended up with his soul scattered and his spirit destroyed."
"They don't even have the chance to be reincarnated."
