The Shadow King whispered, "He... he sensed it all and planned a rebellion. Finally, one day, he realized the time was ripe. He gathered everyone with royal bloodline and hosted an extravagant banquet, and on the day of revelry, he briefly suppressed the Will of the First-Sealed King, regained control of his body, and set it all ablaze."
The Night of Blood.
Gray knew what the Shadow King was talking about. At that moment, he understood the truth of the Night of Blood and grasped the real purpose of that frenzied violence.
"What a great sacrifice."
Gray's body trembled uncontrollably, resorting to violence, cutting all ties with the Devil, even if it would cause the Empire to collapse.
"The First Seat knew the royal secret very early and chose to pledge allegiance to the Devil, while I chose to pledge allegiance to the true King, collaborating with him to conspire this whole thing.
Unfortunately, the Night of Blood wasn't complete."
"Xilin survived."
