As the Master Law Sovereign departed, a faint sound of “pu pu pu” echoed in the air.
Following the direction of his departure, droplets of water fell from the sky, sparkling in the sunlight before dripping into the earth. Everyone knew this was the Master Law Sovereign's tears.
It was evident that this legendary sage could no longer control his emotions. Even in his swift flight, so many tears still fell…
The crowd exchanged glances, enveloped in a heavy silence.
No one tried to stop him. Nor did anyone think to do so.
“Why does he know the truth but still refuses to turn back?” Ji Mo said angrily. “Since he knows he was wrong and realizes that what happened back then was a misunderstanding, why doesn’t he turn back? Is personal desire really that important?”
“Didn’t he miss his brothers from back then? By not turning back, how can his brothers endure this!”
“Turn back? How can he turn back? What more can he do?” Gu Duxing replied coldly. “The enforcers, the heroes who once upheld the law across the world and were renowned throughout the Nine Heavens, have mostly perished because of him; he has completely destroyed the foundation of the enforcers. The entire Nine Heavens Continent will fall into a prolonged era of chaos because of his actions this time.”
“Over the years, the enforcers have indeed become somewhat corrupt due to the Master Law Sovereign's influence, but without the checks of the enforcers, this continent will be ten thousand times more chaotic than before, if not more.”
“Even if he realizes his mistakes now, it is already too late. The effects he has caused have become irreversible. Even if he were to change his mind at this moment, it would hold little significance and could even lead to greater and more profound disasters.”
Gu Duxing sighed deeply: “In fact, someone like the Master Law Sovereign, a once-in-a-lifetime hero and unparalleled sage, has his own thoughts. If he stubbornly continues down this path, perhaps it is the true repentance. If he suddenly repents at this moment and seeks atonement through death… then the entire world would indeed be finished.”
“What are you talking about? I don’t understand at all. Whatever, tell us what we should do next!” Rocky Luo said, completely confused. “Do we still need to fight to the death in the future?”
Chu Yang coughed and said, “Of course, the Master Law Sovereign was very clear just now. Knowing he was wrong is one thing, but he can no longer turn back, so the fight must continue. If he can kill us, he will definitely show no mercy; it will be the same in reverse! Thus, the road ahead remains treacherous, and blood will still flow. Everyone needs to keep striving!”
Ji Mo and Rocky Luo seemed somewhat understanding but still looked puzzled.
However, what they all shared was a sense of lament for the once-great hero, the legendary figure of the Nine Calamity, now reduced to such a state.
“Fortunately, it’s the Master Law Sovereign who has encountered such a thing. If it were me, I fear the only choice now would be to let myself be utterly annihilated and end it all…” Xie Danqiong said, relieved.
Upon hearing Xie Danqiong’s words, all the brothers recalled the Master Law Sovereign's experiences and couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of it happening to themselves…
They nodded in agreement.
Living on like this would genuinely be worse than death…
“We should return to Central Capital. Since a great battle is inevitable, let’s give it our all!” Chu Yang declared.
Mo Qingwu lifted Chu Yang, her small frame appearing so mismatched against his tall and robust body, yet she refused to let go, cradling him carefully.
The brothers walked away step by step, still unable to resist looking back.
The Master Law Sovereign’s helpless and sorrowful roar lingered in their ears.
Wuzhuo City walked at the back, standing in a daze for a long time before softly saying, “Fifth Melancholy, thank you!”
He recalled the sneak attack by the Master Law Sovereign against him. He had once harbored great hatred for that attack… but now he realized that without that sneak attack, suffering serious injuries, his current condition would probably not be much better than that of the Master Law Sovereign…
