The Underworld realm settled into stillness, all dust settled.
Thousand Eyes Great Saint lay amidst the ruins, covered in blood, most of the eyeballs on his body burst open. At a glance, it looked as though he was strewn with blood-filled pits, a scene of extreme desolation, devoid of any majesty befitting a Great Saint.
Fang Wang landed beside him, looking down and said, "This battle has ended with your defeat. However, you have made me realize the power of a Great Saint, and I admire your strength. It's just the path you have chosen, I do not agree with."
With difficulty, Thousand Eyes Great Saint managed a smile and said, "Once… I was like you, taking it upon myself to protect the common folk. But they abandoned me, Fang Wang, if one day, the place you protect faces an insurmountable catastrophe, they will abandon you as well…"
Fang Wang's gaze remained undisturbed as he replied softly, "I protect others simply because it's in my nature; I never expect others to protect me."
