The Great Wine Sacrifice also gazed towards Outer Heaven, transmitting his voice:
"How much of your strength have you regained now?"
The Heavenly Eye Sage was silent for a moment before hoarsely replying:
"Thanks to the relatively intact giant emperor's body, about ten percent."
The Great Wine Sacrifice's eyes darkened slightly: "Then once you leave, you won't be coming back."
The Heavenly Eye Sage nodded gently: "I understand."
"But, they can hardly hold on any longer!"
"I hope my remnant soul can bring them a glimmer of hope."
"Even more, I hope that once I'm gone, the Source of All Evil can be completely resolved."
"So that all beings can wake from this age-old nightmare."
The Great Wine Sacrifice showed a hint of sorrow in his eyes, slowly closing them, and said:
"It's been hard on you."
"Having just ended a thousand-year battle, and now you must go there."
The Heavenly Eye Sage smiled contentedly: "Old man, since when did you become so sentimental."
