"Fan Zhen, it all should end now."

Bai Qingshuang's voice slowly emerged from the corridors of the Doomsday Sanctuary. Accompanying her were many of the Church's Seventh Tier experts. These individuals were the Seventh Tier members from the Church whom they had gradually encountered within the Doomsday Sanctuary. They had come for Bai Qingshuang, and they also had promises with Pope Fan Zhen.

Fortunately, they hadn't fought with Bai Qingshuang, which allowed Lu Luo to breathe a sigh of relief, and Bai Qingshuang herself as well. She knew that the actions she had taken previously were now having an effect. A large part of the reason these people hadn't made a move was Luo Dan's presence. Luo Dan hadn't attacked Bai Qingshuang, so even if other Seventh Tiers harbored such thoughts, they would hesitate due to Luo Dan. This was true even though they knew Bai Qingshuang was severely injured at the time. At this moment, they would not act rashly. No one knew Luo Dan's current stance, but at the very least, it could be confirmed that Luo Dan was not yet on the Pope's side. Therefore, the outcome between the Judgment Chief and the Pope remained unpredictable.

On the ground, when Bai Qingshuang appeared, Fan Zhen's fists tightened with excitement. Now, almost all of the Dawn Church's Seventh Tier experts were gathered in the First Ring. Today, only one of him and Bai Qingshuang could survive. No one knew who would ultimately be the one to live. Fan Zhen believed it would be him, but from the very beginning, Bai Qingshuang seemed to disregard Fan Zhen entirely. Her attitude was exceedingly arrogant. Fan Zhen didn't know the source of Bai Qingshuang's confidence, but he felt certain he could kill her today and end everything.

"Bai Qingshuang, I knew you would hide here."

Bai Qingshuang ignored Fan Zhen and walked directly towards the Dawn Disc. "I'm not hiding here. I came to find something that could change the Alliance."

Fan Zhen loathed this arrogant attitude, yet he also felt a faint sense of unease. "Although I don't know what your confidence stems from, such arrogance isn't befitting a mature Transcendent. Leave changing the Alliance to me. I will help you fulfill your last wish."

Fan Zhen pointed to Li Hongyun beside him. Without a word, Li Hongyun charged towards Bai Qingshuang. The battle erupted with sudden ferocity. Both sides knew about Bai Qingshuang's injuries; such grievous wounds couldn't possibly heal in such a short time. So, what they needed to do now was capitalize on Bai Qingshuang's severe injuries to completely resolve this dispute that had dragged on for nearly twenty years.

Holy Radiance gathered in Li Hongyun's hands. Unlike Fan Zhen, Li Hongyun had never, from start to finish, abandoned the power of Holy Radiance.

BANG!

The Holy Light Fist slammed into the solar flare protecting Bai Qingshuang, and her entire body trembled.

Lu Luo could see that she was clearly struggling.

A single Seventh Tier is already pushing the Judgment Chief this hard, huh...

After Bai Qingshuang blocked Li Hongyun's attack, Luo Dan and the other Seventh Tier members of the Church began to spread out, encircling the area. They didn't leave the battlefield; instead, they dispersed to surround the entire First Ring. This occurred without any communication, yet it was as if it had been prearranged. The meaning was clear: the Dawn Church did not need such conflict. This kind of internal strife would only continue to deplete the Dawn Church's potential.

The Fourth Ring had now completely broken away from the Wasteland Alliance's control, and their quality of life was continuously declining. This was not the Wasteland Alliance they desired. So today, there had to be a resolution between the two. These Seventh Tier experts might not be a match for the Judgment Chief or the Pope in a one-on-one fight, but preventing their escape was more than achievable. The two sides had to reach a conclusion today. They could accept whoever survived; they would recognize whoever's rule it was. However, only one person could be allowed to survive. This was what these Seventh Tier experts required.

While blocking her opponent, Bai Qingshuang glanced at the surrounding Seventh Tiers, then at Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu. "It seems there's no way to send you out. Lu Luo, if I fail, take this back to the Imperial."

Bai Qingshuang handed Lu Luo one of her own medals, which bore a distinct blade scar. The medal was strung on a cord, forming a simple necklace. Lu Luo didn't hesitate and took the medal.

It's made of ordinary material, nothing special about it.

It wasn't a legacy of will, nor an important token; it was just an ordinary item. Lu Luo looked at the medal and nodded. "If I have the chance, I'll certainly do it for you. But how can I find its owner?"

"Finding the Bai Family is enough. There's only one Bai Family in the Imperial worth remembering. But don't worry too much about this. Maybe I won't need your help! Hehe, take good care of Bai Yuetong."

"Certainly."

Bai Qingshuang gave a slight push, and a wave of air sent Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu to the side. Her entire demeanor changed. Turning to face Pope Fan Zhen, who was rushing towards her, she directly summoned the Truth Disc.

"Fan Zhen, you've never understood the true difference between us. I never considered you an enemy worthy of being my equal. My enemy has always been singular: the Dawn Disc. I am Truth. From the moment you stood against me, you were already guilty."

HUM!

The radiance of Truth illuminated the earth. The Truth Disc gradually ascended into the sky, positioning itself opposite the Dawn Disc at the center of the First Ring. Everyone watched the scene before them in utter shock. Although many held high positions, it was the first time most had seen a second disc. And this image of two opposing discs sent shivers down their spines!

Bai Qingshuang's figure floated at the center of the Truth Disc. Her eyes, which had remained closed, suddenly snapped open. "Sequence S-09—Judge! The Scales of a Just World. Your sins will reduce you to ashes."

Pope Fan Zhen, standing not far beneath her, disintegrated instantly under the brilliance of judgment. Li Hongyun, standing nearby, had no time to intervene. This time, Pope Fan Zhen's body disintegrated too quickly.

"Why? Impossible!"

"Your Holiness, the Pope!"

Fan Zhen stared at his disintegrating fingers in disbelief. He could feel that it wasn't just the power of the Judge disintegrating him, but also the residual Holy Radiance and life force within his own body. The Holy Radiance was continuously eroding his body, while his life force was being relentlessly sapped away.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Fan Zhen tried to speak, but he couldn't utter a sound. At this moment, he finally understood: the so-called Life Return was also one of the powers emanating from the Dawn Disc. There had never been a second path. Within the Dawn Church, all paths were merely traps set by the Dawn Disc. Even if one completely renounced Holy Radiance, they could not escape the Dawn Disc's grasp. Life Return was merely a hidden undercurrent beneath the Holy Radiance.

"So, this is how it is!"

BANG!

Fan Zhen's body exploded into fragments. The life within his flesh and blood was drained in the instant of his death.

Under the illumination of the Truth from the Scales of a Just World, many who bore sin began to suffer and knelt down. The Holy Radiance within them resisted the power of the Truth Disc. But as the brilliance of Truth grew stronger, some of those with grievous sins began to look towards the Dawn Disc, as if begging. They wanted to obtain the disc's power, to let the Sacred Radiance of Dawn save them. But what these people didn't know was that here, the most deeply sinful entity was the Dawn Disc itself! It was exiled because of sin, and it grew because of sin. Throughout a thousand years of history, the Dawn Disc had continuously released its sin. For a thousand years, there had been no oversight, and no one capable of overseeing it. If sin had a color, the Dawn Disc would have long been dyed black.

The Truth Disc itself existed to bring judgment upon the Dawn Disc. And the Judge Sequence, much like the Devourer threatened the Doomsday Disc, meant the Judge could also threaten the Dawn Disc.

"A thousand years ago, no one knew how to deal with you. But unintentionally, I conceived a method to make you disappear. Sin. Your sin is too grave. After a thousand years of accumulation, you are stained with the blood and lives of too many. Your actions are unforgivable. So, disappear, Dawn Disc!"

The glow of Truth burst forth again, and Bai Qingshuang's body completely merged into the radiance. In this moment, even something as powerful as the Dawn Disc felt the threat from Truth and Judgment. It grew agitated, truly agitated! When an artifact develops consciousness and does not wish to be destroyed, it will make very irrational moves. Or rather, for an artifact, self-preservation is the most basic rational action. Discovering that its own power was insufficient for self-protection, the Dawn Disc made a very dangerous move.

Extraction!

It was extracting all the Holy Radiance... All of it!

The first to be affected were the Seventh Tier experts standing within the First Ring. Their energy was pure Holy Radiance. Perhaps the specific types varied, but as members of the Dawn Church, Holy Radiance was their most potent energy. Within the Dawn Church, there was no reason not to cultivate Holy Radiance as one's primary energy. So, at the moment the Dawn Disc began extracting Holy Radiance, no one was spared. Even Qi Xinzhu, standing next to Lu Luo, was no exception!

"Lu Luo... I..."

Lu Luo grabbed Qi Xinzhu's hand. "What's happening?"

Actually, the illumination of the Light of Truth hadn't harmed Qi Xinzhu. Because Qi Xinzhu truly hadn't committed any evil deeds; even if she had, the kindness in her heart would have neutralized that power. As for himself, when the Judge's power shone upon him, he only received this prompt:

Sequence Chain A-00, the Unbeliever, makes you very superstitious; you believe yourself to be without sin. Therefore, you are without sin. Innocent state, immune to the Judge effect.

Logically, if the judgment couldn't harm them, they should have been fine. But what Lu Luo hadn't expected was that the real damage came from the Dawn's betrayal! Qi Xinzhu's Holy Radiance was also being drained away. Watching Qi Xinzhu kneel on the ground, her face contorted in agony, Lu Luo was momentarily at a loss.

Holy Radiance, the core energy of the entire Wasteland Alliance. The illumination of Holy Radiance began from the moment each person in the Wasteland Alliance was born. Even someone like Pope Fan Zhen, who had lived for 200 years, was no exception. This was even truer for Qi Xinzhu and other devout believers who had served the Dawn since childhood. The Holy Radiance continued to be drained from Qi Xinzhu's body, her expression growing more pained and distorted.

"Lu Luo... ah!"

Looking at Qi Xinzhu, who was nearly immobile, Lu Luo forced himself to calm down.

What to do? What to do? Give me a plan, quickly...

Energy is being drained, and vitality is being extracted along with it. If this continues, Qi Xinzhu will die. Most people here who rely on Holy Radiance will also die.

"I don't need an explanation, I need a solution!"

There is indeed a solution. Qi Xinzhu is currently having her Holy Radiance drained; this is a method of devouring absorption. However, you seem to have forgotten that you possess this method too!

Seeing the Observer's hint, Lu Luo's eyes suddenly hardened. He seldom used the Devourer on living beings; to be precise, he had never used it on a living being before. It wasn't that he couldn't use it, but he couldn't bring himself to cross that moral line in his heart. Lu Luo had always maintained this baseline because it was a human baseline. As a human being, one should adhere to certain fundamental moral principles. Besides, he had never displayed the Observer in front of so many "outsiders." A large number of the Church's top experts were standing here. Any Sequence he used would likely not escape their notice and perception.

If it were anyone else, Lu Luo would definitely choose to protect himself and not reveal his abilities at this time. But lying in front of him now was his wife, Qi Xinzhu! If he allowed Qi Xinzhu to continue having her Holy Radiance drained like this, even if she didn't die by the end of it, then she wouldn't be far from death either. After all, Qi Xinzhu was a devout follower, and the Holy Radiance within a devout follower's body was very pure. The purer it was, the greater the harm she would suffer at this moment. This was the last thing Lu Luo wanted to see; he had to do something.

Devourer! I'm counting on you this time.

Lu Luo wasn't sure if the Devourer could understand his words like the Observer could. However, in that inner sanctum of his mind, he had communicated with the Devourer once.

GURGLE! GURGLE!

Somewhat unsettling black Devourer tendrils stretched out in front of everyone. Although Lu Luo's sleeves hid these tendrils, the Seventh Tier Transcendents here, under certain circumstances, no longer needed eyes to perceive what was happening with Lu Luo. They all cast curious gazes toward the Devourer. The tendrils pierced Qi Xinzhu's skin and began to grow within her flesh and blood. Lu Luo knew he couldn't hold back out of sympathy. Holding back now would only harm Qi Xinzhu.

The Devourer tendrils began to spread along Qi Xinzhu's blood vessels, muscles, and internal organs, extending and growing in various parts of her body. Soon, they had permeated her entire system. It was time to act, but Lu Luo himself hesitated at this critical moment. Draining Qi Xinzhu's Holy Radiance was an action with unknown consequences for her. Neither Lu Luo nor the Observer could be certain that doing this now would ensure Qi Xinzhu's survival. If it failed, it would be tantamount to Lu Luo personally killing Qi Xinzhu.

"Xinzhu..."

At this point, Qi Xinzhu had long been unable to speak. But her consciousness hadn't faded. Seeing the hesitation on Lu Luo's face, she immediately endured the pain, shook her head at Lu Luo, and then nodded. The shake of her head meant it was alright; no matter what happened, Qi Xinzhu wouldn't blame him. The nod, however, urged Lu Luo to proceed, a sign of her absolute trust in him.

Lu Luo knew he couldn't delay any longer. A flicker of black light flashed in his eyes as the power of the Devourer Sequence began to take effect.

Don't hesitate any longer; time is running short.

"Heh, indeed there's nothing left to hesitate about. Devour the World Core!"

Qi Xinzhu's body shuddered violently. Her system, already at its limit, became even more tormented. The Devourer was now contending with the Dawn Disc's attractive force for power. The Dawn Disc was indeed formidable, but the Devourer's power was by no means weak. This was especially true given the Devourer's proximity and the enhancement from the Doomsday Disc.

Soon, the Holy Radiance within Qi Xinzhu's body began to reverse its flow, pouring into Lu Luo's Devourer tendrils. The struggle between the two forces contorted Qi Xinzhu's expression further in pain. Lu Luo knew he couldn't afford to be distracted, but he still reminded Qi Xinzhu, "If you're still conscious, use the Healer now."

If Qi Xinzhu could use the Healer at this time, she could better protect her physical condition. Qi Xinzhu, whose body was on the verge of collapse, heard Lu Luo's voice and struggled to lift her hands. Losing control of her body, she couldn't even bring her hands together. It was Lu Luo who intervened, helping Qi Xinzhu clasp her hands in a prayer-like gesture.

The Healer's radiance slowly intensified, greatly relieving the physical pressure on Qi Xinzhu. Moreover, the effects of the repeated physical enhancements Lu Luo had urged her to undergo were now fully evident. If it were an ordinary Transcendent who was very devoted to the Dawn Disc, they would have shattered long ago. But Qi Xinzhu was different. Although she was devout, the total amount of Holy Radiance in her body was only at the Fourth Tier level. Achieving a Constitution of 150 as a Fourth Tier Holy Radiance user was an incredibly difficult feat. Therefore, even under such dire circumstances, Qi Xinzhu relied on her robust constitution to withstand the damage from the Holy Radiance extraction.

"Heal. Holy Healing Technique." Qi Xinzhu could finally speak. The first ability she released was a rapid cast of the Holy Healing Technique. Of course, this Holy Healing Technique wasn't cast on herself but into the air. She needed to rapidly expend her Holy Radiance to lessen the damage received from the Dawn Disc.

The Devourer's extraction, the Healer's protection, and Qi Xinzhu's own release. Under this triple effect, Qi Xinzhu's condition finally stabilized. Now, as soon as any Holy Radiance appeared in her body, Lu Luo would devour it. Even if there were minor residual injuries from the extraction, the Healer would instantly mend them. With this give-and-take, Qi Xinzhu's life was finally saved.

"We succeeded."

The situation of the two was clearly observed by the other Transcendents. They had, after all, emerged from the Doomsday Sanctuary with Judgment Chief Bai Qingshuang and naturally attracted a great deal of attention. Perhaps some secrets of the Doomsday Sanctuary could be gleaned from Lu Luo and Qi Xinzhu. This was the thought of all the Seventh Tier experts. After witnessing how their actions effectively reduced the damage from Holy Radiance, these Seventh Tier individuals began to emulate them.

Experts who could reach the Seventh Tier were no ordinary individuals. And upon reaching this tier, their reservations about Holy Radiance would only deepen. Much like the Pope, the stronger they became, the more acutely they could feel the control Holy Radiance exerted over them. Thus, these Seventh Tier experts were not as devout towards the Dawn Disc as Qi Xinzhu. Although the damage they sustained was significant, it wasn't enough to be fatal in a short period. Especially after seeing Qi Xinzhu reduce damage by casting Holy Radiance into the air, they too began to do the same. For a time, these Seventh Tier experts all began unleashing their powerful techniques into the empty air. The entire First Ring, aside from the Light of Truth, was now filled with additional shimmering circles of Holy Radiance.

The Dawn Disc absorbed all this free-floating Holy Radiance, using it to resist the power of the Truth Disc. As for the loyalty of these Seventh Tier experts, the Dawn Disc couldn't care less. As long as it survived, wouldn't there be an endless supply of people? In this world, people were the least scarce resource.

The two discs clashed while others struggled under the glare of their light. The entire First Ring descended into chaos. Those guards who defended the Dawn Disc, owing to their profound piety and loyalty, had already been drained of all their Holy Radiance. Their bodies disintegrated, becoming pools of shattered flesh and blood. They had no Devourer from Lu Luo to help them, nor did they have the Healer to protect their bodies. Like Xinzhu, they had believed in the Holy Radiance all their lives. But it was precisely this faith that led to their deaths.

The light reached a stalemate for a time. The power erupting skyward was no longer an issue confined to a few rings. The Second Ring, the Third Ring, even the Fourth Ring, and beyond the walls—all could now see this towering pillar of light. Initially, those filled with reverence, who believed in the Holy Radiance, clasped their hands and prayed. But as the Dawn Disc accelerated its extraction of Holy Radiance, its range also expanded. More and more people were affected by this depletion. First the Second Ring, then the Third, followed by the Fourth Ring. Everyone who believed in the Dawn and wielded the Holy Radiance was now impacted by the Dawn Disc. Depending on their individual strength and depth of faith, some merely felt a twinge of pain. Others, however, knelt, wailing in agony, some even gruesomely disintegrating before the eyes of onlookers.

When a believer of the Holy Radiance died, the Holy Radiance within their body would rapidly coalesce, visibly forming a ball of light that then sped towards the center of the First Ring. This spectacle induced both terror and helplessness.

"Has the Holy Radiance abandoned us? Has the Dawn abandoned us?"

"I don't know."

"It's over. Everything is over."

"Quick, save people! Forget about Holy Radiance! The most important thing for a person is to rely on themselves!"

In the face of such a catastrophe, everyone reacted differently. Some despaired, others rallied. Those who despaired had their reasons; those who rallied also had their own motivations. There was no absolute right or wrong, but those who rallied were, at least, slightly more proactive. They were saving people, and they genuinely did save some.

After the Third Ring was affected, the populace of the Fourth Ring also began to descend into chaos. Han Shiyu, enduring her pain, instantly released two bursts of Holy Resurrection Light. Such an act could almost instantaneously deplete her Holy Radiance. She was a person of considerable combat experience; the moment she saw the beam of light, she had sensed something was amiss. Fortunately, her reaction was swift enough to avert a crisis. Otherwise, even as far away as the Fourth Ring, there would have been immense risk.

What's going on? This kind of energy drain... Is something wrong with the Dawn Disc? Then Qi Xinzhu... As a Believer of Light, Han Shiyu naturally understood how devastating this situation would be for a devout follower. She was able to respond because she was sufficiently distant in the Fourth Ring and reacted promptly. But Qi Xinzhu and Lu Luo were in the Inner Ring! If they experienced the same impact in the Inner Ring, Qi Xinzhu was very likely to... Please don't let anything happen!

Just as Han Shiyu was worried about Qi Xinzhu and the others, cries of agony echoed throughout the Church in the Fourth Ring. Although the faith of the people in the Fourth Ring was not as devout and steadfast as those in the Inner Ring—compounded by the earlier incident with Ludie and Qiao Xing's admonitions upon his return—they were, after all, practitioners of Holy Radiance. They still maintained a sufficient degree of reverence for the Dawn. In the process of being drained of Holy Radiance, this very reverence caused them additional harm. While not necessarily fatal, pain was unavoidable.

Meanwhile, in the depths of the church district, Qiao Xing, Noah, and Lu Xiaotian were sitting together, chatting. Lu Xiaotian looked at Qiao Xing, who appeared completely unbothered, her expression puzzled. "Aren't you the Archbishop of East Ring? How come when that thing drained Holy Radiance, you were completely fine?"

It wasn't surprising that Lu Xiaotian was puzzled; even Noah was quite bewildered. It was just that Noah had better composure and wouldn't ask such a personal question here.

Qiao Xing shook his head, pointed to his forehead, and said, "How do you know I'm completely fine? I'm in pain too, you know. Look, my forehead is sweating."

"You call this pain?"

"Why wouldn't it be? Serving the Dawn is a fundamental tenet for a Believer of Light. I've dedicated my entire life to the Dawn. Slacking off a bit at a time like this isn't too much to ask, is it?" Qiao Xing's expression was remarkably calm, as if the events unfolding in the Inner Ring had nothing to do with him.

"You were alert quite early. When did you realize there was a problem with Holy Radiance?"

Qiao Xing narrowed his eyes but didn't answer the question. However, his mind flashed to the image of the figure who had died by the river, and that sword. He had collected countless swords, and he had carefully used each one. There was only one exception—that one sword was the only one he had never touched. Fortunately, that sword now had a new owner.

"A problem with Holy Radiance? What problem could Holy Radiance have? Holy Radiance is the most luminous power. I am one with Holy Radiance..."

Lu Xiaotian stared at Qiao Xing with a look of utter exasperation. "Are you going to tell us or not?"

Although Qiao Xing enjoyed being sarcastic, if it really came to a fight, the Nightmare Demon did put considerable pressure on him. "Er, it was probably many, many years ago. Many years ago, I had already separated Holy Radiance from my own energy system. For that, I even created a system of swordsmanship different from the Church's to compensate."

Lu Xiaotian nodded. She had some understanding of what Qiao Xing was talking about. For instance, she had seen Lu Luo use that set of swordsmanship. It was called the Sword Heart Four Forms.

"You do have some foresight, knowing to distance yourself from Holy Radiance. But why can't you just speak normally? Will you die if you're not being sarcastic?"

"To be frank, yes, I probably would!"

Lu Xiaotian: ...

At this moment, Noah stood up, interrupting their conversation. "It seems there's a major problem in the Inner Ring now. We..." Noah paused, glancing at Qiao Xing with a look that clearly implied having this human among them was somewhat risky.

However, the Nightmare Demon was unconcerned. She had already come to terms with truly becoming human. Her understanding was quicker and stronger than Noah's. "Not so fast. Even if something drastic has happened, the Inner Ring still has many Seventh Tier experts. Even if our strength is considerable, facing an encirclement by Seventh Tiers would be a death sentence. Let's wait a bit longer and see what the Wasteland Alliance becomes."

"And if nothing changes?" Clearly, when it came to certain desires, like for the Dawn Disc, Noah's longing far exceeded the Nightmare Demon's. He had existed for over 400 years. Although much of that time wasn't spent in the Inner Ring, he had indeed experienced many of the Dawn Disc's erosions and temptations. So, his craving for the Dawn Disc was far greater than that of the Nightmare Demon, who was merely an eight-year-old child in comparison.

The Nightmare Demon glanced at Noah. Through their interactions and the gradual encroachment on the Fourth Ring's powers, she had sensed Noah's anxiety. This was something the Nightmare Demon was quite pleased to see. Haste makes waste. A child running too fast might fall, but they can get up easily. If an old man falls, however, getting up might not be so simple.

"Regardless of whether there's a change or not, I don't intend to make any further moves for now. The environment in the Fourth Ring is quite nice, don't you think?"

Exotic Species have lifespans, even mechanical ones. No one knew how long Noah's life would be. After more than 400 years, many had subconsciously overlooked Noah's age. But the Nightmare Demon, a fellow Eighth Order calamity, could clearly sense it. Noah was anxious. Perhaps he hadn't weakened yet, or perhaps he had begun to weaken and was hiding it. The Nightmare Demon couldn't be sure of these things. The only thing she could be certain of was that Noah was indeed anxious. He wanted to go to the Inner Ring. He wanted to obtain the Dawn Disc!

Would the Nightmare Demon agree? Of course, she would... If Noah could die in the Inner Ring, that would be fantastic.

"Mr. Noah, do you have any designs on the Inner Ring now? That powerful human in the Inner Ring is probably not easy to deal with. Even you might not be her match."

Noah looked at the giggling Lu Xiaotian, his mechanical face revealing nothing further. After pondering for a moment, he slowly nodded, making a very important and somewhat startling decision. "If it's not feasible, I will withdraw from the Fourth Ring."

"What?" Lu Xiaotian was shocked. Entering the human world, constructing a human body and consciousness—these were things Noah had prepared for many years. How could he just give up now?

Noah remained expressionless. "This world isn't just this Doomsday Halo. If I can't obtain the Halo's will, then I'd rather go see the outside world. Just like you—isn't your power derived from the Nether River?"

The sudden shift in Noah's attitude left the Nightmare Demon somewhat caught off guard.

"Impressive!"

"Likewise, likewise."

Qiao Xing, off to the side, was still watching the beams of light in the center of the Inner Ring, seemingly oblivious to their conversation. "Ah, I hope that kid and Xinzhu manage to stay safe."

But after he spoke, the Nightmare Demon interjected, "Hehehe, I somehow feel that they... might die?"
