Chương 569: Price of the Eternal Crown

Though he'd spent epochs in the Firmament, Regretless had no knowledge of an existence named Shadow. But following Celestial Slaughter's words, that existence should stand as the true core of the Firmament, and the last barrier between Konrad and the eternal crown.

But for what reason would it deny him? After all, although according to Celestial Slaughter, he could never complete his final step, Konrad possessed Firmament Bridge, Physiques and Bloodline. There was nothing missing in the equation. That being the case, it wasn't Shadow that'd reject him, but Konrad that'd willingly forsake the crown.

"Why?"

Regretless couldn't help but ask. After all, all Konrad did led to this point.

"Naturally because he's unfilial. If he'd listen to his father's teachings, the crown would be his. Alas, he does not. Opponents like Konrad are fascinating. Always a step away from victory, but doomed to cut their own legs."
