"Ah..." The bone dragon opened its mouth wide.

A blue glow shone on his sharp teeth.

"Dark God, we have no intention of destroying this lovely world. We live here too. What good would it do us to destroy it?"

"Even the immortals couldn't survive if the world were to perish, right? You see, there's absolutely no need for us to be enemies."

The God of Darkness stroked his chin. "Then tell me the truth, and I'll decide whether to 'betray' you based on the situation."

...

On the ground.

A figure emerged from the dazzling sunlight.

Once the blinding light dissipated, that classically handsome face became clearly visible.

Upon seeing the person's appearance, Li Aili's pupils suddenly contracted.

She had seen this face before... the portrait that Anyana had secretly hidden during the Holy Dragon era—the former Lord of Dawn, now the God of Light, Losanda.

The God of Light slowly raised his hand, pointing to the bone dragon 'devouring' in the sky. [Now we can talk calmly, right?]

Li Aili took a deep breath, piecing together fragmented clues from the past, and a terrifying guess surfaced in her mind.

"You always knew?"

"You've been waiting for this day?"

"Waiting for this moment?"

The light was perfectly calm.

Until the sun in the sky was swallowed by darkness.

The God of Darkness broke the covenant with the True God, descending upon the world in his true form, adding insult to injury to the already suffering world gate.

The eyes of light possess only divinity. [If I had told you this day sooner, would you have believed me?]

Li Aili took a deep breath. "If you hadn't destroyed his country, killed his parents, and turned him into an immortal, would things have come to this?"

The light glanced at the mortals with pity, saying, "There are many things you can only see clearly when you stand on a cloud."

And you, for the sake of ordinary love, gave up the opportunity to surpass us.

Li Aili: "!"
