Yan Shu patted Zhao Jun's shoulders with both hands and said with emotion: "I didn't expect you to be gone for another two years. Time waits for no one."

It cannot be said that I feel grief for the rabbit, I can only say that I feel the same way.

After all, they once possessed the greatest power and stood at the top of the world, but they could not escape the baptism of time and were inevitably filled with reluctance.

Some people may say that you have so much power, what else can you not be satisfied with?

But you have to know that the reason they have such great power is that they have fought their way out of the siege of thousands of troops. It is the result of their own efforts.

After having all this, naturally you don’t want to lose it.

pity.

Time is fair.

Even if you are an emperor, you cannot escape the passage of time.
