Awakening

"His expression was so peaceful when passing away..." Xiu'er had seen everything from the start up to this time. When he saw the dying old man, he couldn't help but remember his own grandfather on her mother's side.

That was the same expression when he passed away, filled with satisfaction.

Xiu'er brushed off this thought immediately. Now was not the time to think about this. He walked up to Jin Rou and said, "You defeated him."

"Yes, obviously." Jin Rou laughed, "However, it took me more effort than I anticipated."

This was true. Though Jin Rou didn't dare to underestimate his opponent, the fact remained that he took longer to kill the progenitor. Well, this wasn't surprising at all. Since progenitors and true gods were only one level below the zenith, it was understandable that they could put up a proper fight against zeniths.

Of course, if the progenitor fought with a stronger zenith, like Jin Rou's grandmother, the result would be better.
