Demise, The End Of A Universe

"It's time…"

A gentle voice echoed around the space where the golden coffin lay ahead in the pagoda canopy.

She walked to it before finally opening the roof of the golden coffin. She raised her feet and kept one leg on it before shortly entering it, sitting on the coffin like she reclined on a sofa and kept her legs relaxed.

"That was fast…"

Her lips curled while still quivering, a wry smile appearing on her face.

"Nothing goes according to our wishes, does it…? Banding together and offering their Legacy Treasures to karmically target me? That's not supposed to happen until the final trial of the Candidacy, but there's still the third trial left and the final trial… and even if it does happen, it should be easy for me to defend against it… but-"

She giggled ever so lightly.

If she had never met the Divine Emperor of Death, would everything have gone smoothly?

Would she not be injured heavily by the Celestial Transcendent?
