?Xu Shan stepped within the Palace of the Divine Empress. Duan Mu's body followed behind him, floating lifelessly.

"Take care of him." He told one of the servants, sending the body flying to that person.

The servant thought that Duan Mu was already dead. But as he carried the young boy, he realised that the boy was still breathing. It was as if he was simply sleeping.

The Servants carefully carried the boy to one of the rooms, not wanting to offend this demon god who brought him here.

They laid Duan Mu on a comfortable bed and gently covered him with a warm blanket. None of them realised that the young boy was one of the strongest assassins that their Empress had personally gone to kill.

Xu Shan appeared in the depths of the city where the Divine Empress was guiding her men towards the completion of the Devouring Formation.

From what Xu Shan could see, most of the formation was almost completed. It was clear that the Divine Empress didn't want to delay it either.

"It looks like it'll finish within a few hours." Xu Shan said.

The Divine Empress was initially surprised as she heard the voice coming from behind her. It was especially the case since she hadn't even felt his presence.

Turning around, the Divine Empress saw Xu Shan standing there. "Since you're here, I suppose you already destroyed the Shadow Hall?"

"It's a bit wasteful to kill them as it was inevitable, but I doubt it would affect your breakthrough," Xu Shan answered. There were too many lives in this world. And even though the Shadow Hall leaders had high cultivation, just a few of them couldn't make much difference.

"I'm not blaming you. I would've done the same as well."

The Divine Empress didn't express her displeasure, even though Xu Shan had basically snatched her prey. She was wise enough to know what she had to say.

In response, Xu Shan smiled. It was the intelligent people like her that could survive long enough in this cruel world. He felt it was a good decision to leave her alive.

The Divine Empress shifted her attention back to the formation, with only a little amount of work left. Meanwhile, Xu Shan left the place, leaving her to work.

Xu Shan stood high in the sky, being able to see through most of the world. From that height, he saw many cities that were full of life. There were people going to work. There were Warriors who were patrolling the cities to protect the people.

There were even some people who were committing crimes in broad daylight. He was able to see many battles between the major clans of various cities, which led to many deaths.

Everyone was working towards their benefits. Clans were trying to gain more resources and influence. However, none realised how little time they had left. Even the strongest people in the Royal City had no clue as to what the Divine Empress was planning.

Even the people who were working on completing the formation didn't know what the formation was for. Xu Shan observed everything, as if saving the last memories of this world that was soon going to disappear.

He also noticed a few absences in the Royal City. The most prominent one was the Previous Emperor of this Dynasty, and the father of the Divine Empress. He wasn't in the city anymore.

It wasn't just him, but his younger daughter was also gone with the Maid.

Xu Shan didn't have to think hard about it to know what happened. It was the maid who showed him about the plans of the Divine Empress. So it made sense she knew what the fate of this world was.

"So she finally told others about it and decided to escape," Xu Shan muttered, feeling the spatial disturbance in the mansion that was assigned to them. Just from the spatial disturbance, he could track them. However, he didn't bother.

"It was a good decision on your part to not leak this information. Since you didn't become an obstruction in my path, I shall let you be free."

Xu Shan knew the maid wanted to save this destruction. While the Divine Empress' little sister wanted revenge from her sister. That's why they worked with him. However, when he switched sides, it became impossible for them to do anything.

Although he didn't react, he was slightly glad that they had left this world. He gave them an opportunity to escape, and they took it.

As for what kind of life they were going to have in the future, he didn't care. By letting them escape and avoid an inevitable death, he had already paid them back for their help.

After four hours passed, the formation was finally completed. In the distance, the sun had also started setting in this world, possibly being the last sunset that many here were going to see.

The Divine Empress stood on the balcony of her palace, looking at the sunset. She held a small crystal in her hand that was used to activate the formation. Moreover, all the Celestial Lotus seeds were also placed on their rightful places.

All that was left was for her to activate the formation and set the world down the path of destruction. fre ewebno vel.com

"Are you having second thoughts?" Xu Shan's voice fell in her ears. His voice was filled with slight amusement as he could see that the girl was slightly hesitant.

He found it slightly funny that the girl who was known as a cruel person was having second thoughts when her goal was right before her eyes.

"I've lived all my life in this world. This is where I was born. This is where I found my destiny, creating my Dynasty. This is where they became my citizens. And with my single decision, this will be the last day of the Divine Realm." The Divine Empress muttered.

Although she had prepared herself for a long time, telling herself that this was the only way for her to grow, but when the moment was here, she started hesitating.

Unlike Xu Shan who had lost most of his empathy for the cost of using the Book of Desires, she still had her emotions, no matter how much she had buried them.
