"Heavenly Wasteland..." Gu Li Sheng was in high spirits, just about to extend an olive branch.
Before he could finish, Little Girl respectfully said, "Senior Gu, after a month of contemplation, I have chosen to retire to Mountain Field, gather herbs in the mountains with Chi Immortal, and repay the Dao Ancestor for saving my life."
"If the Crown Prince needs anything, this junior is willing to give her all, but I will no longer set foot on the battlefield to charge into battle."
With that, she gently removed the suit of armor from her body, leaving only a thin long robe.
A faint weariness flashed through Little Girl's eyes. The towering spirit she had possessed that year was already gone. Having crossed eternal ages, she no longer wished to become that Great General of the Heavenly Wasteland who slaughtered countless beings.
Senior Gu was an Eternal Life Being. She had always known.
The Human Emperor had also sought the art of immortality. After allowing Chi Immortal to leave, the Human Emperor had wanted to establish the Human Dao Imperial Court and recreate the glorious splendor of the Tai Yi Ancient Immortal Court.
But the human race had shed too much blood. Heaven and Earth would not permit it, nor would the myriad Spirits.
The reckoning directed at human race pillars like them, who had slaughtered the Ten Thousand Clans, was meant to repay the karmic debts owed to Heaven and Earth and the Ten Thousand Clans. The Human Dao Imperial Court was also part of the reason. The foreign races did not know of this, nor did those at the bottom; it could not be recorded in immortal history.
Because the Human Emperor had failed utterly, without even the faintest sign of success.
In the distant sky.
Surprise flashed
