For a moment, Kai Syaoran could not understand what the emperor was going on about.
Kai Syaoran had sensed that he had been given nine hundred ninety-nine years till the heavenly annihilation. He did not know why the heavens had given him this time. He guessed that it was due to some rule that the heavens had to follow.
"I am pretty sure that I still have some time," said Kai Syaoran.
The emperor looked at him with a glint in his brown eyes.
"I am also sure that you have ten years to your annihilation." said the emperor.
The princess and the prince looked on in silence. They had come for a completely different reason but their father was now going off-topic. They were still shaken to find that Kai Syaoran had an impending heavenly annihilation in less than a century.
This meant that Kai Syaoran had only a decade to live. In the lower worlds, there was no way to survive heavenly annihilation.
