"Giant Rat! You are the biggest giant rat in the Immortal World!"
"Your Majesty, spare my life!"
"Even if you devour me, I will turn into a resentful soul, waiting for the day you fall!"
...
At first, he would still listen to those voices in his heart.
As the number of immortals devoured increased, the Giant Rat Immortal's heart instinctively grew more indifferent. Towards the end, he simply stopped caring altogether.
Just before the Immortal World was utterly destroyed and the Path-obliterating Tide engulfed all things.
The Tao twisted into forms, and the Immortal Coffin descended from the sky.
The Giant Rat Immortal, with surviving True Immortals, hid within it.
What followed was an extremely lengthy period. So long that the Giant Rat Immortal's memory became somewhat blurred.
Inside the coffin, there was absolute darkness. Outside the Immortal Coffin was the world-destroying Path-obliterating Tide.
