It has been over a month since the incident with the Dark Dragon Emperor, and so far, there are approximately 83 million humans from the original world according to statistics. Before I left, I asked Yuanhui about the specific details, and at that time, there were at least 200 million people who were not targeted by the extermination order.

"Moreover, due to the interference of the Holy Temple Knights, we only managed to eliminate about 90% of the pseudo-humans, and many of them managed to escape in that chaotic world."

So, a total of 6.5 billion were reduced?

"Yes, thank you for telling me so much."

These horrifying and nauseating numbers, am I being too sensitive, or do I still have some kind of attachment to the pseudo-humans? Even though I have human thoughts and the compassion of a sage, why?!

On the night I left the Hall of Heroes, I wandered alone on the open sea.

"Why do I feel my heart lurching?"

I asked myself, perhaps I am just too scared!

Because my mother did nothing wrong, yet she might be one of the targets for extermination, and I feel no guilt whatsoever and can do nothing about it.

"It's time to sleep, Juxi!"

I extinguished the torch at the bow of the ship and spread a straw mat casually in the middle of the boat, letting it drift on the open sea.

Taking a few simple steps somehow made my state of mind feel more spacious.

"What a beautiful starry sky, I never expected to see such a sight in my lifetime, it's amazing!"

I couldn't help but be filled with deep emotion. In the land where agriculture was no longer possible, we survived on processed food synthesized from chemicals to meet the basic needs of humanity.

But now? I eat bread made from wheat, and I eat the freshest fish caught from the sea (sometimes there are also some deformed ones, probably unique species here).

Come to think of it, am I not also one of the people who can alleviate their suffering?

Well, I should think more about forgiving myself, and then it will feel like it's just the normal law of nature... nothing more.

These entanglements will probably continue for at least a short while, right?

Sanronika, Twilight Courtyard.

"Tatatata...!"

Eight people of different ages and genders sat around an octagonal table in the dimly lit room. They were gathered together engaged in some important discussion, each of their faces showing varying degrees of tension and worry.

"Hey, can I share my opinion about this meeting of the Eight Elders?"

In the dimly lit room, a young girl with a petite figure, gentle appearance, and curly orange hair raised her hand confidently to speak. Although she may only be around eleven or twelve years old, anyone who could occupy the position of the Eight Elders would not be an ordinary person.

"I'm serious. Even though the news of his return hasn't been confirmed, we should believe that it's possible rather than assuming it's not."

"That's right."

Another man with long hair immediately agreed, "Lord Satan's words shouldn't be taken lightly, and what Flame said also makes sense. If he really comes back, we must eliminate him from the start!"

Their words were filled with venom, revealing the significant threat the person posed to their positions.

The one who made the statement was the Dark Gold War God Satan... Edward!

"Please, trust me, we must put our hatred and conflicts aside. Otherwise, we will repeat the mistakes of our founding deities. Have all of you already forgotten about the Twilight Emperor's incident?"

...The venue fell silent for a moment, as everyone was aware of the truth deep in their hearts. Since the beginning of the Temple, there have only been four Twilight Emperors.

To create another Twilight Emperor would be immensely difficult in terms of cultivation and badge enhancement.

Only the Main God Satan himself could come close to the pinnacle of the Twilight Emperor realm.

In the end, the meeting could not avoid reaching a dead end.

"Everyone..."

No one paid attention to Edward...

"Fools, we still have a chance--!!"

Edward, seated at the top, frustratedly overturned the table and chairs. Couldn't these people understand human language?

Even the two guardians behind him were startled by his terrifying rage and sat down on the floor.

Troubles always seem to find me at the most inconvenient times, but some leaders expressed their opposition to this speech.

Especially the flamboyant blue-haired man sitting opposite Flame, the fourth prince of the Empire, Baron, was very dissatisfied with Flame's policies. So while Flame was making suggestions, he launched a verbal attack on her.

"Oh my, Flame, have you gone crazy from your peaceful days?"

"You idiot, what did you say?"

"I'm just talking about someone. Do you really have to compete with the Divine King to prove yourself? I don't know what benefit it brings us!"

The impolite fourth prince of the Empire, Coleman, left his seat without manners. After waving to the two guards he brought, he left the meeting room on his own.

"Hmph, do whatever you want, stinking face, get lost!"

Flame made a face at his departing back and turned her body away in discontent. Even her attendants couldn't persuade her.

"Ah, that guy still does whatever he wants. He just left without even saying goodbye."

The muscular uncle with a goatee sitting next to his chair yawned and smiled. Did he fall asleep with his head supported just now? His mouth was drooling while he seemed half asleep and half awake. He gave the impression that this meeting had nothing to do with him.

The Knight King Auzen from the Temple was also racking his brains to find a way to win over the heads of the Empire, especially the leader of the Warlocks, who was known as the Armament King. After all, Satan's punishment for him was just destroying his old body. Now he had regained a younger and more robust physique, so he obeyed Edward without question.

"Your Excellency Armament King, may I remind you that you are too calm. Aren't you worried that your territory will be invaded?"

"Oh?"

The man known as the Armament King slowly opened one eye, but that half-eye was shining with sharp light.

"Invaded? You can come and try..."

"Uh, I've said... I didn't mean to offend you!"

"Then stop talking nonsense. I'm leaving too. You all can continue discussing."

With that, he turned his back to everyone and waved his hand, as if patting his butt before walking away. In the end, only three people remained in the meeting room - Satan, the Knight King, and Flame.

The meeting had reached such a point, and the relationship between the eight leaders was not harmonious at all.

This made Edward, the proposer of the Great Angel Plan, anxious and frustrated.

"Well, let's end the joint meeting of the eight leaders here. Adjourn! Adjourn!"

Even Lord Scarlet Ro, the ruler of Flame, could not bear the awkward atmosphere and left with his people from the venue. Now only two stubborn old men were left in the meeting room.

"Boss, should we continue the meeting?"

"Continue the meeting... who are we going to conduct it with after everyone has left?!"

Edward overturned the table in anger. He left the door without leaving any patience and accidentally blew away the door as he went out, which startled Auzen.

The meeting, which had lasted for over an hour in the afternoon, ended in such a dispute. However, Auzen, who had always been Edward's henchman, only had a partial understanding of the Great Angel Plan. From the beginning, he had been working under Edward's command, which confused him a bit... What was going on?

Ignoring them for now, let's talk about the neighboring world of this vibrant world, which still coexists with a dead space.

Yes, what I see now under the lush green-rendered land is a hell facing death, buried beneath it. It is unbelievable that two years ago, I was living there, leading an ordinary high school life just like everyone else!

But now, everything has changed dramatically...

Under the silver and gold-threaded coat, a slightly pale and slender finger reached down and picked up a small wet stone from the grass.

I put it gently into my mouth, feeling the fresh and cool scent of the earth.

This novel sensation is a first for me. I happily realized that this is the ending I wanted.

"Huh?!"

Too boring, it's really too boring!

I'm thinking, should I experience life again? With my dear sister, Yukari?

Her alluring and beautiful figure, her sexy mature contours, and her delicate skin... But I'm daydreaming again.

I still don't know which way to go in this new world, is there a correct choice?

I got off the ship and arrived at the border of the capital city. Before coming here, my close friend Yuanhui told me that the air and green vegetation here are the best on the continent. Today, I saw that it is truly remarkable!

I impatiently docked the ship by the seaside and then calmly enjoyed the beautiful scenery here.

"It is indeed the most precious wealth to see the scenery obtained through long journeys, rather than relying on divine power."

The distant mountains and rivers, as well as the nearby rivers, are so... Almost missed the woman lying on the stone under the shade of the trees. She was dressed in a black cloth and long pants, which is no different from the typical dressing of ordinary women on the mainland. However, her mature and stable temperament is slightly different from that of ordinary girls.

I tried to keep a certain distance from the woman, but when we were less than a centimeter apart, the woman suddenly seemed to have sensed something and turned towards me!

"Sorry, I didn't mean to... huh?"

I was startled for a moment, but the girl, as if she hadn't seen me, didn't react at all.

What? She had one hand resting on the back of her head as if she was sleeping.

With courage from I-don't-know-where, I reached out to touch her face. Such a familiar side face, I feel like I've seen it somewhere.

"Hehehe..."

The girl's even breathing made me somewhat addicted, and suddenly drowsiness came over me too.

"...So tired, ah! I can't fall asleep!"

I relied on slapping my face to stay calm and sat down next to the stone, leaning against the woman's back. However, due to two days and two nights of drifting at sea, my drowsiness was getting stronger and stronger. Eventually, I fell asleep, supporting my face with my palm.

Just like this...this is enough!

The sun set in the west, welcoming the dusk. Here, every twenty-four hours pass by very slowly, so the warm moments also last longer.

In my dream, the old man with white beard appeared before me again.

"Odin...?"

Odin ignored me and emitted an increasingly intense aura of killing towards me!

With a silly smile, he grabbed my neck and proceeded to slap my face fiercely.

Hey hey hey, what's going on?

Before I could react, I vaguely saw a familiar face placed in front of me.

"Wake up quickly, or believe me, I will dig your eyes out!"
