Li Aozi carefully laid Land Loyd's head to rest, golden divine blood dripping down:
"Those willing to follow me, to march into the Void, shall use the blood of Lai Anding's offspring to inscribe a marking upon their bodies."
"Lai Anding will thus lock on to our traces, sending forces to hunt us down—but this is also our opportunity to weaken the enemy and strengthen ourselves."
"Secret blood can pierce through the Lai Anding Protocol, allowing no resurrection once we die in Zhou Yuan. This is no longer a mere game; each has only one life. This is war—a battle against the world to save it, and entering the conflict to defy the world."
"Should we fail to break Twilight Duke, let us accept death in foreign lands."
"Who among you will accompany me to the Abyss?"
Silence.
The Spiritual Warriors fell into a deathly quiet, neither whispering nor consulting amongst themselves, as if hearing nothing.
Silence.
