"Since Asura said so, then I promise you that I will try my best to survive." Indra smiled, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind, bathed in the sunlight, the whole body was pure platinum.
For a moment, Ashura almost felt that the young man in front of him was the person he had been looking for.
"I have been wandering for years, and there are few things or people I care about."
The strong and tall ghost god ignored the weapons pointed at him and walked towards the Celestial Clan soldiers with murderous intent. At this moment, there was only one person in his eyes.
"We are so in tune with each other." Emperor Shitian smiled. "How did you know I felt the same way?"
"Don't come over! Stop! I told you to stop!" The Celestial Clan soldier held Indra hostage, and the blade cut his slender neck. Out of fear, his whole body was shaking.
The next moment, a thorn pierced his heart. The assassin was not Asura, but the person who should have been his captive. Unfortunately, he only had time to see Indra's dazzling golden smile before he lost his life forever.
"Alas, Asura, stop." These words came out of Indra's mouth and reached Asura's ears with incredible clarity. They really made him stop moving forward and killing.
Ashura looked at him, "Why?"
"I just thought about it. Humans and ghosts have different paths. You and I can't walk together after all." Emperor Shitian sighed with regret and raised his golden eyes again. "I wanted to participate in the game to understand the weaknesses of the ghost clan and report them to the celestial clan, but you have disappointed me so much!"
"What are you talking about?" Ashura clenched his fists and frowned. "Are you being controlled by something?"
"Not manipulated." Indra raised his hands, and the Celestial Clan soldiers instantly retreated. "Look. We're all Celestial Clan members, they won't kill each other against me."
"Then why are you…"
Emperor Shitian gave him a deep look, his eyes mocking, as if to say, "Hasn't my explanation been clear enough?"
"All your eyes are closed, you are lying, Indra." Asura said angrily.
"You are truly naive." Indra smiled softly and sadly, no longer looking at Asura, and said to the celestial beings, "Should we return home?"
The people in the heavens looked at each other, and finally someone reminded them. Then they surrounded Indra respectfully, not like an escort, but as if they were welcoming the coronation ceremony of a new king.
Ashura was the only one left there, with the hellish world surrounding him. He watched the holy figure walk away, feeling as if something very important was missing from his heart.
He could have killed all those soldiers along with Indra who betrayed him, but he didn't.
Ashura bowed his head and chanted, "There will be no warmth in the abyss, nor will there be light."
At the same time, the thousand-layer staircase of the heavenly realm has appeared. This place is different from the gloomy and terrifying ghost realm, and also different from the desolate and cruel human world.
Many of the Celestials who were passing by knelt down to greet Emperor Shitian, "Your Highness, you are finally back!"
"You've been missing for so long, the Shanfatian people are extremely worried."
"This year's altar still needs you, Prince, to preside over it. Fortunately, you returned in time."
"I heard that the prince sneaked into the abyss alone to gather intelligence and fought the demon god Ashura for three hundred rounds. I wonder if it's true?"
…
Faced with this series of passionate inquiries, Emperor Shitian's eyes were filled with indifference. "It's been a long battle indeed. Do you want to try it too?"
"How dare we attack you?"
Emperor Shitian chuckled, "Haha, I was just joking with you."
"The prince really loves to joke... just like the late king."
Not long after, someone came to report: "Your Highness, Master Shanfatian has summoned you for a conversation."
What is meant to come will eventually come.
"Please lead the way." Indra said.
