How long has it been since Han Li met Lightmoon? Perhaps, several hundred millions of years ago? When he met her the first time, she was a shy child who couldn\'t look into the eyes of other people. But now, she made a name for herself an Era Empress.

Jin Rou didn\'t want to disturb her and just wanted to have a look at her current state. And he discovered that despite the numerous vitality stones piled up here, it wouldn\'t be long before Lightmoon pass away.

It was natural. After all, she already lived for so long now. Dying was the last thing to happen in life.

"Let\'s go." Jin Rou wanted to leave. However, before he managed to stand up, the eyes of the old woman lying on the large bed slowly opened. She turned her head with weakness but her eyes glowed when she saw that person, "Your Excellency..."

"Why did you force yourself to wake up?" Jin Rou\'s heart ached a bit. He thought that Han Li became emotionless. But when he looked at Lightmoon, he felt an indescribable pain inside. It felt like watching your child die slowly in front of you.

The palace master knew what to do and left the room. It wasn\'t her business of what the two would talk about.

"It\'s useless, as you already know with your great eyes Your Excellency." Lightmoon Ancestor shook his head, "I am really near at the death\'s door, and it\'s inevitable."

Jin Rou sighed. He had many means to extend Lightmoon\'s lifespan but knowing how she suffered, he refrained from suggesting. Moreover, the latter already accepted her fate.

"Evermoon Palace has stood tall because of your protection." Jin Rou smiled and said, "I am proud of you."

Lightmoon Ancestor carried the heavy responsibility of taking care of Evermoon Palace after her mother passed away. She was the one who did all the possible means to raise them and not ever be bullied by other sects.

In fact, if the palace came to push to shove a while ago, Lightmoon would surely force her awakening and protect them. Of course, under the risk of withering her lifespan more.

"I\'m just glad that I have been able to see you one last time before I rest for eternity." Lightmoon was emotional. Usually, she didn\'t even bat an eye while looking at her descendants but it was different when she look at Jin Rou.

Many hated this person for being cold-blooded. A man who kill without hesitation. He could even make the toughest call and be branded as devil.

But just how many knew what sacrifices he had to make for the betterment of the world? Especially the Nine Heavens, his origin. There were times that Han Li had to shed tears for sacrificing a lover, a dear friend, and those who he was closest with in the past. All for the sake of the damn world.

Most people only saw his actions, but never the reason behind these. Of course, Han Li didn\'t bother explaining. For him, it\'s not worth it to explain the reasons of his deeds. It\'s easier to be branded names.

"You have to rest. You can\'t stay up for any longer." Jin Rou said, "I just wanted to see you, too. And now that I fulfilled it, you can take it easy now."

"Your Excellency, are you going to fight that existence again?" Lightmoon Ancestor asked. Her voice was filled with worry.

"I have to." Jin Rou answered like he had no choice, "And this is the last time. So I\'m making sure that I\'m going to be the victor this time."

This battle had taken so much time of Mortalis and it\'s high time to settle it once and for all.

"I am as always impressed, Your Majesty." Lightmoon smiled, "Despite the grave setbacks, you still stand back up and challenge it again. No one in this world is as consisted as you."

"Because they don\'t have the resolve like mine." Jin Rou shook his head, "Resolve is a fuel to push one\'s peak to the limits."

Han Li had been trying to slay that god for trillions of years now. So no one could actually match his resolve and tenacity. After all, many already surrendered. There were also powerhouses that flew away to run for their lives.

"Right. And not just anyone can have a resolve like that." Lightmoon nodded, "Your Excellency, I have been keeping an item that I got from the True Word Era. It was something of a scroll that a mysterious person gave to me."

The True Word Era was created by Trueword Era Emperor. Since only one era emperor could be made per an era, it was dedicated to his name. It was many many years ago, no longer could be traced.

Lightmoon handed over the scroll and said, "That person said to give this to you if ever I see you again. I don\'t know the contents, so you can check it for yourself Your Excellency."

Jin Rou accepted the scroll and opened it. Then, many symbols floated above. It was unfamiliar to Lightmoon, but Jin Rou recognized this immediately since Han Li was very familiar with it.

"It seems I really have to make a trip to Western Emperor after dealing with the mess here." Jin Rou took a deep breath. The Western Emperor Region was the home of all top ranking era emperors.

As a matter of fact, if not Eastern Empress, the new Era Emperors\' destination would be the Western Emperor.

"What happened, Your Excellency?" Lightmoon could sense the urgency in Jin Rou\'s voice. It\'s not like she could be of any help, she just wanted to know.

"The person who gives this to you have predicted that I\'m going to meet you." Jin Rou could already connect the dots and said, "And the scroll\'s content said that a calamity will befall the Western Emperor and it might affect the nearby Northern Queen Region.

"A calamity?" Lightmoon understood it immediately and her expression changed for worse.
