"All Realmlords MUST reach the 90th Wall! All Timelords MUST reach the 95th Wall! All Starlords MUST reach the FINAL WALL! Anything less—Your status as an Ascendant ends."
The indescribably familiar voice of the Ascendant Emperor echoed in the hearts, minds, and souls of each Ascendant once again like a divine reminder. The gains from acquiring a leaf had been set aside as their focus was incomparably concentrated on the walls and this second stage. Would possessing a Merit of Ascension matter if they could not maintain their positions as Ascendants?
"..." Yi Yun glanced at his Spatial Ring, hearing the reminder for the first time, and his heart started to pound. He was among the rare few that had decided to participate as a Dark Chosen to assist his original sect and allies, a choice he didn't regret after Qiao Shulin, Ming Yuling, Ye Zhi, and Duan Ru almost died several times without his assistance.
