Choosing to give up, in the end, brought even more rewards.
At this moment, Gan Tang floated gently down from midair, her expression complex as she gazed at the pile of ashes on the ground, her eyes filled with an inescapable disappointment.
She had witnessed with her own eyes the fall of a Big Executor, but the scene she longed for didn't appear.
Once a Big Executor fulfilled their obsession, they would die.
All their power would vanish into nothing, their body turning to flying ash, leaving nothing behind at all.
A thousand years of anticipation, that tiny bit of hope at the end, was lost right before her eyes, just like that.
She closed her eyes in pain; what people fear most isn't hardship, nor slim hope, but witnessing that last sliver of hope shatter with their own eyes.
It's gone, everything really is gone.
Steadying her emotions, she looked at Wen Yan, who was obviously also struggling, and reached out a hand, wanting to touch Wen Yan's head.
