"I am willing to follow you to the death..."
Seeing this scene, Gu Liyan clenched his fists, not knowing what to say. If he stood up now, he would be despised by everyone. He might even be hacked to death before he could enlighten them!
"Hahaha, since that's the case, those who wish to become superior beings and live as long as the heavens shall join us in the name of my Heavenly Mansion Apostles!" Cang Mu waved his hand, exuding domineering aura.
"I am willing to become an apostle of Tianfu!"
"I'd love to!"
...
Gu Liyan shook his head and sighed helplessly. He couldn't stop it; he couldn't stop it alone!
"The Holy Son of this generation is Gu Liyan!"

An Qianbai stared at the dazed Gu Liyan, her eyes instantly turning red. She sobbed but couldn't utter a word, and then tears streamed down her beautiful face.
"Xiao Bai... wait for me, wait for me!"
Seeing An Qianbai in that state, Gu Liyan felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He couldn't help but want to save her, even if it would make him an enemy of the world!
This is their promise, even unto death!
