People like this do not need to be grand; they might be so ordinary as to seem insignificant.

    Only during moments of pandemics, crises, and disasters do their figures emerge on the front lines.

    Tang Wen''s entire life was spent rebelling against the Order, yet the reason for his rebellion was not born out of narrow self-interest or personal freedom.

    Tang Xian had countless questions on his mind, such as how his father had survived, how he had endured the seven-day rule, and how he had ultimately found this place.

    But Tang Xian did not voice these questions.

    After becoming an Orderer, Tang Xian rationally prioritized fighting the Lord of Eden and collecting the Beast God''s inheritance. S~ea??h the N??elFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    He left Baichuan City in the hands of Akasi, Song Que, and others.

    Yet looking at Tang Wen, Tang Xian suddenly felt... that he should value certain things more. Baichuan City might be able to hold on for a while, but if he could return sooner, he could save more lives.

    Led by Tang Wen, Tang Xian and Tang Jing arrived at the center of the city.

    At the center was a plaza, and in the very middle of it stood a massive phoenix tree.

    Atop the phoenix tree rested a black phoenix-like entity.

    But this black phoenix possessed no signs of life; only its forehead emitted a dazzling red glow.

    A Soul Crystal from a catastrophe-level creature could sustain an entire Pyramid for many years.

    A Soul Crystal from an apocalypse-level creature could provide nearly unlimited energy.

    The city''s entire energy source came from the crystal formed by the black bird atop this giant phoenix tree.

    Tang Wen said:

    "Take it and leave this place."

    "The Soul Crystal?"

    "Yes, this is the inheritance of the Lost God. By consuming this Soul Crystal, you can wield the power of degeneration."

    Tang Wen had already figured everything out regarding the usage of the Lost God''s inheritance.

    "If we take this Soul Crystal, will the city survive?" Tang Xian asked.

    "It can hold out for a while. In the end, whether it can be preserved depends on whether you can save humanity."

    Tang Wen patted Tang Xian on the shoulder. His son had finally found him, arriving at another Beast God''s domain, though he tried to act aloof and rational, his eyes betrayed his pride.

    Tang Xian said:

    "Will you come back with me?"

    "My mission is complete. I can''t leave this place. If I do, I will die because of the seven-day rule. This city may still serve you in the future, so I will stay here to watch over it."

    Then, Tang Wen looked at Tang Jing.

    "You call me teacher, so does that mean you are a Child of Order?"

    "Yes," Tang Jing answered respectfully.

    "Are you Xi He?"

    Among the Eastern male figures were only Constantine, Xi He, and Tang Xian. Hence, Tang Wen instinctively thought this person was Xi He.

    Tang Jing scratched his head, looking slightly embarrassed, but still replied:

    "Actually, I''m Constantine… but the truth is that I am, like you, Prometheus. It''s a complicated story…"

    Tang Jing thought this explanation would be perplexing, but Tang Wen understood immediately.

    Back during the events surrounding the Sea God''s heart, Tang Wen had written in the steles left for Tang Xian of this very suspicion, and now it was merely confirmed.

    Tang Wen said:

    "You two kids really know how to act. Well then, the era belonging to me and A Yao has come to an end. Put a full stop to these damned conspiracies targeting humanity."

    "I''ll return again. I still have so many things I want to ask you... and things about Mom to tell you."

    Tang Xian did his best to appear casual.

    But Tang Wen could still discern from Tang Xian''s expression that Zhong Yao likely... wasn''t doing well.

    He turned his head away and said:

    "I will be here, waiting for you."
