Quite a while.
A ripple finally appeared in the hollow eyes of Chen Lun.
'Even without the Ring Duke and without my father Chen Feng's schemes... could I, on my own, defeat the seven Old Gods?'
He had been pondering this question.
Although reluctant and ashamed, the answer was almost negative.
Chen Lun had already witnessed the terrifying existence of the Transcendent Sequence and understood its formidable power, which his Dual Divine Position and strength were entirely unmatched against.
The best outcome would be for him to choose to forgo all that makes him "human," to sacrifice himself, transcend the Sequence, and become an Old God of Sorrow and Joy...
But the most brutal reality was:
Even if so, it was still incredibly difficult to contend with the four Old Gods and three Foreign Gods. The fall of the King of Comedy back then was undoubtedly due to being besieged...
The Ring Duke had long anticipated this.
Sacrifice does not necessarily equate to redemption.
