"You're going nowhere! Greatsky Mirror, take him!" A gigantic mirror appeared in the skies of Imperia, and within the mirror was a world and beyond. Even the stars seemed to be trapped within. This was Dao projecting its form in the real world.Azure Dragon couldn't believe this. "Tell me sooner next time, old man. If I'd known your founder would come, I'd never have been worried!"The founder of Magic Mountain was an Immortal who'd gone to the High Heavens. Zeus was a half Saint who might or might not be able to become a Saint. Perhaps he'd have to relinquish his body when his life came to an end and become a Saint with only his spirit intact.Zeus was nothing compared to Nox, let alone the founder of Magic Mountain. The mirror managed to lock onto the escaping Zeus and dragged him out of the ground. "Please, spare me! I swear I'll never enter Faeast ever again!"Zeus no longer looked like the leader of Olympians. In fact, he looked like a defeated scum."The Heavenly Dao spares
"No, Azure Dragon. The one who raised their level is Nox. We live by our actions, and our actions are born from our thoughts. Faeast never had a lack of heroes. It only survived so long because of the people's wish. The humiliation we suffered angered us, and we've been waiting for the day to come where we could unleash it."Nox gathered the people's hearts and united them under one banner. He is the true contributor of Faeast." Sealmaster approached Azure Dragon. What the founder did was elevate that iron will to the next level.This was the result of their accumulation. Nox gathered the hearts of the people, and only then could the patriarchs raise it to a higher level. Queenie thought it was a dream. She just got out of what might be certain death, and now she felt like she was remade.Not even Queenie realized she was a different woman now. She was a true cultivator. Once again, Faeast defeated a powerful enemy and destroyed them all. The nation's fate grew stronger. The people,
"What are you doing? If he gets here, none of us are getting out alive!" The cultivators gathered before her. Some still thought of her as the heir of the family, so they didn't speak to her harshly. Some did not care about that.These people only cared about themselves and their survival. They didn't care about her at all. Aphrodite's heart finally died. "I gave them everything and betrayed the love of my life, and what do I get? This family is beyond saving. There's no point helping them. They might be helping me live, but the price is Faeast's safety."I am its citizen as well." Aphrodite was ashen. She said nothing in the face of criticism. All she did was endure silently.Aphrodite wouldn't say a word, and the Mousses had lost news about their family head. Morale took a big hit, and it was every man for himself. Eventually, some failed to endure the pressure and started to run.The Domino effect ensued, and everyone followed. The rise of the family was never more important tha
The man was none other than Nox. At the very end, he was the one who came to Aphrodite's help. Nox pulled Aphrodite into his arms and flew back to the surface. Though the waves roared and crashed, Nox didn't let Aphrodite go.If Aphrodite were to die right now, she would die in peace. Nox took her back to the fortress and used his optical power to set up a barrier and imprisoned the Mousses."It's the God of Murder! We're doomed!" The Mousses were having a meltdown. They knew what they'd done to Nox before, and they would be shown no mercy.Nox put Aphrodite back into her wheelchair and pinned everyone down with the aura of the Sovereign. The Mousses knew how powerful Nox was. He killed so many legendary warriors and cultivators. Them alone couldn't win in a fight against him.The prisoners hastily came back and begged for forgiveness. They groveled and sniveled."After the battle at the Ocean of Death, your family set up a trap for Sariel and killed him. You murdered Aldric North
She didn't want to say anything now. Nox smiled at the silent response. "An easy death is mercy for you," Nox said solemnly. Then, he spoke to the Mousses."I know your family has suffered humiliation before. Five hundred years ago, your family had a lord among you. The Southcloud Lord. And your family still exists in Faeast despite the changing dynasties is all thanks to your loyalty to the nation. The Mousses have protected Southstate for many, many years."When the tyrant reigned, he worked with the foreigners and sold out the nation, disregarding the lives of its people. Your family defended Southstate with your lives and beat back the invaders. To an extent, your family protected the nation's land. You have contributed to the nation."However, the tyrant had a trap set up for you. Eventually, the Mystians invaded Southstate. They held the people of Southstate hostage, and left with no choice, your family had to relent. From that day onward, the guardian of Southstate became the
"Yeah. They've been a menace for a thousand years, especially in recent memory. They tried to work with foreign nations to colonize the people's land, and their ambition doesn't stop there. They want to split up Faeast. They want to destroy our nation and our people."And that's why you became their servants. You came back to slaughter your own people for survival." Nox's eyes were red with fury and sorrow. "Do you know why the Limerents allowed you to come back even though they knew you were up to something?"The Limerents are no saints. Their empire was created upon a tower of the dead. You'll never understand this. The Limerents hold the nation's fate because the people wanted them to. They're beholden to the will of the nation's fate, and they must work to fulfill that."Faeast accepts everything, just like how a mother should. Her children might be ungrateful bastards, but they're still a part of her. You know why I never wanted to take the throne? The emperor of Faeast is as r
"You're an embarrassment! An animal!"The Mousses knew Aphrodite had given her verdict, and they lost their only hope at life. They cursed her in hopes to kill her. That could work. Verbal abuse, when taken to an extent, could turn into a spell. Goldenwheel made it work. He turned his curses into a spell.Aphrodite was dying, and she could not endure the curses from her family, but surprisingly, she started breathing better. It could be a last hurrah before death claimed her. Curious, she looked at Nox. She wondered why no one had the guts to curse him.Nox was strong, yes, but that didn't stop anyone from cursing him behind his back. Then she saw the determination in his eyes, and Aphrodite got her answer. Nox didn't care what anyone thought about him. He knew what he did was right.Nox had no personal demons, and he was a chaser of the truth. To the Mousses and Mystia, he was an evil god of murder, but to Faeast, Nox was a righteous hero who deserved to be respected.Aphrodite f
The nation of Faeast was in mourning, lamenting the death of Lord Nox.Queenie Sanders sat on the beach of Riverton. She was in a bikini, revealing all her perfect curves, but her brows were furrowed as she stared at her phone."Mourning? In the morning? And the whole Internet does it? Who's the deceased? Why's everyone going so far for him?"Queenie stared at the screen for five minutes before she clicked on the headlines. She was met with a big title in red, but all of them talked of the same thing across different news outlets."Today, we mourn the death of a god of war. The day before, our Lord fell into the ambush of ten nations' warriors, and he was felled in the Ocean of Death."So great was the battle it drenched the ocean crimson. So terrible was the battle that corpses decorated the ocean's surface."Even though Lord Nox has fallen, he took down a million soldiers from the enemies' nations all by himself."Queenie's jaw dropped, her eyes still glued to the headlines.

With her life on the line, Queenie had no choice but to give it her all. She was Nox's woman, and she would not disgrace him, no until the very end. At that very moment, she gained perfect understanding of the techniques Dominic taught her and used the strongest one of them all.Even Zeus was stunned. "Origin Sword? Dammit, what kind of talent is this? Everyone he takes a liking to is no ordinary person! I'd kill you, but I need you to keep the Nine-State Lord in check!"Zeus gathered his lightning into a staff and crushed Queenie's techniques with a single swing. Then, Queenie learned how to burn her soul, but it was too late. The lightning had swum into her body, and her life essence was nearly dispersed. She was too weak to even burn her soul."Don't just stand there, old man! Do something!" Azure Dragon saw Sealmaster standing around in leisure, and it irked him.Sealmaster said, "I expected nothing less from his lover. This is one good side of cultivating the path of humanity.
"Fate bound us together, and yet she cut our bonds off herself. She did this to herself. She wanted to do good by her family, but look at what they're doing to her. She can't even die in peace. I think she wants me to put her out of her misery and see me one last time. She knows me just like I know her."She's prideful and stubborn. It's impossible to get her to admit her mistakes. Not like I care," said Nox.Dominic nodded. He understood that Aphrodite regretted her actions, but her pride would not allow her to apologize. "Putting that whole… thing aside, she has contributed to the nation, but it's a pity she's born with an iron tie to her family, and unlike your family, hers isn't kind to her."Besides, she still holds the Greenshades hostage. You must see her." Dominic sighed. The world could be cruel. These erstwhile lovers turned out to be enemies in the end."Yeah. You stay here. I need to end this with her." Nox nodded.At the same time, Zeus was going after Queenie. She ha
