Chapter 550 - 333 Continent, Descending from the Sky_2
Facing such a powerful being, the old man realized that all his plans, all his defenses, were futile, just like a child’s sandcastle unable to withstand the onslaught of the waves.
His eyes were filled with regret and helplessness, seemingly offering a silent apology to the world, and begging for a forgiveness he didn’t deserve.
But at this time, any remorse was too late; he could only wait for the unknown yet inevitable fate to come.
His thoughts were in chaos, numerous images flashing through his mind, including past glories and future despair.
No matter how influential he had once been behind the world’s mightiest nations, at this moment he felt more helpless than anyone else.
Knowing his life was nearing its end, and unwilling to relinquish his immense power and status to lie beneath the earth, he had opted for a greedy and perilous attempt in his impatience.
He had considered the conservative contact policy decided by the collective will of the nation, but such a method would take too long to bring any benefits.
His only hope was to receive an occasional reward from his master, Chen Yun, as he diligently served like a dog.
And even those rewards might not necessarily keep him alive.
He couldn’t wait, so he took a risky gamble.
Ultimately, greed brought its own cost.
