Yao Mu originally didn't need so much dignity.
In the face of death, it's insignificant.
He had struggled through life-threatening difficulties to breakthrough to the realm of a Cosmic God, who wouldn't die until the universe itself was destroyed. How could he willingly fall?
As long as he was alive, he would give up everything.
"If everyone who loses expects me to let them go, how many people would I have to spare? Making mistakes comes with a price."
Chu Yuan was infinitely ruthless and tyrannically fierce.
He would not let Yao Mu off.
Having a Cosmic God submit and align seemed like it would strengthen the power of the Divine Martial Empire, but Chu Yuan knew better—the true source of the empire's strength was him.
By devouring him, his own power would become even greater.
"Ah, I begged you for mercy, and you still won't spare me?"
