They sure know how to work me into the ground. Zhuo Fan complained with a quirky smile, glad things were going his way for a change and not at the whim of Heavenly Sovereign, despite the looming danger.

While before he was at anothers whim, the situation of now was an improvement to say the least, though not by much. Skirting around imminent death wasnt by any means enjoyable, but things were getting even more precarious with the latest development.

Soon, Heavenly Sovereign dropped by, playing the ever-insufferable know-it-all. Now, instead of something the enemy needed, he patted himself on the back at the genius move of covering the new Sovereigns emergence with his demonic path.

He then focused with a smile on his lips on the closely finished star path, smug his plan was bearing fruit.

The joy was short-lived, however, as just a couple days after finishing the star path, another prismatic event took the skies, and with it, Heavenly Sovereigns infuriatingly precise arrival.

Zhuo Fan handed over the star path after some short yet equally pointless talk about the fate of the world, looking at the upside of things. His side had two Sovereigns and the demonic path, needing just seven more paths to finish this and Heavenly Sovereign.

As Zhuo Fan neared the completion of the reincarnation path, he felt a resonance with the world around him. It was as if the very fabric of existence acknowledged his journey, and the spiritual energy responded in kind. The air hummed with anticipation, and the skies above broke out into a vast array of colors, triggering the prismatic event.

So youve done it again. I must say, little brother, youre outdoing even your past self. Barely another month has passed, and youve finished another path. Which one is it? Heavenly Sovereign spoke as he entered the cave like he owned the place.

Zhuo Fan took a moment to bask in the enlightenment. Feeling how every little piece of information clicked perfectly in his mind brought a thrill like no other. What made it even more valuable was that he did it all on his own. Alas, the moment faded quick with the sudden crash of reality on his mind, and Heavenly Sovereigns incessant nagging.

He opened his eyes and stated, Reincarnation path.

Heavenly Sovereign frowned. If not for killing everything you hold dear having the opposite effect of encouraging you, Id have done it already. Im quite certain that knowing they had a chance to survive is actually what spurs you on. But dont take my tolerance for kindness. Even if insight doesnt come when one wishes, you will do well to contemplate what Im lacking if you want the Sacred Domain to exist.

A little note for you to be aware of, the sea of blackness has now taken hold of half of the Sacred Domain. Soon, there wont be anywhere left to run off to. I must say, the irony is particularly cruel in this case, knowing that it was you who triggered it.

Heavenly Sovereigns laughter echoed in the cave, rattling it, as he vanished.

Well just see who laughs in the end. But I must say, this time it was too close for comfort. Any later completing the path and hed have found out. Zhuo Fan eased his breath.
