Jiang Ning was suddenly reminded of the Demon King's words.
The Demon King had seen Jiang Ning's true colors, and he, too, had a dark side. That side of him radiated a demonic aura, which thrilled the Demon King so much that the demon chose to leave instead of hurting him.
The Demon King's taunting laugh rang in his ears. It was boisterous and boastful—the brazen laugh of a man who had unearthed a priceless treasure.
Is it because he is sure of his victory?
Jiang Ning's face clouded over at the thought of that.
Fear seized Jiang Ning as he watched the images on the water screen. It felt like the catastrophe had already become a reality.
Families falling apart, lost souls wandering aimlessly, children crying, people banished from their hometowns and dying on foreign land...
Jiang Ning shook his head vigorously.
“No, no, no. I can't let this happen, not over my dead body! I can't let this happen!” he swore.
His eyes reddened. Jiang Ning despised losing control of his emotions, but he could not help but get affected by the devastation shown in the images.
He had a high emotional capacity and was normally good at segregating others' feelings from his own, but even he could not stop the raw desolation from seeping into his bones.
“Is this what you want?” he bellowed.
There was no one else in his vicinity, so it looked like he was talking to himself. However, Jiang Ning was well aware that there was an omniscient presence, who was not only keeping tabs on him but also forcing tasks upon him.
He wanted to ignore the calling and shirk this responsibility, but it seemed predestined regardless of his disposition.
After a long while, the water screen dissipated and the Longevity Pond reverted to normal as if nothing had happened.
Jiang Ning remained standing in the same spot long afterward, his feet glued to the ground. Eventually, he took a deep breath and left without another word.
Returning to the Heavenly Palace was an emotionally draining experience for Jiang Hing. Not only was he awed by the liveliness of the realm, but he was also shaken to the core by the gruesome scenes shown on the water screen. He would hate to see the collapse of humanity come true.
