A Glimmer of Hope in an Ocean of Despair
Like a door to salvation being slammed in their face, the millions of cultivators felt their last hope vanish as the Yang-Sovereign stepped into the Yang Lotus. Many had the tiny glimmer of hope that the Yang-Sovereign would change his mind, realizing the madness of his plan, but his entry into the Lotus sealed their fate.
"We're doomed!"
"The Yang-Sovereign has betrayed us all!"
"I can't believe my death is going to be at the hands of a Sovereign! He should be protecting us, not destroying us!"
Millions of cries of anguish and despair rang out within the stadium, mixed with the cries of horror from those sucked up into the lotus, their bodies incinerated to nothingness. It was like a cacophony of anguish, composed by the vilest of creatures.
