Chapter 1858 - Departure (4) (2/2)

“Thank you, Auntie.” Ji Song smiled in relief.

Bai Yan never noticed it before, but the girl’s smile actually looked pretty good after gaining some weight in recent days. If this continues, she’s bound to become quite the beauty in her own right.

“The two of you go play, I’ll be back soon.” Retracting her eyes, the demon queen started to head towards her father’s study room.

Study.

Rubbing his temple with a finger, Heavenly made a troubled expression due to what’s plaguing his mind.

Chee~

Looking up at the sound, the man felt annoyed since he ordered none to disturb him. However, his frown quickly relaxed at who it was. “Yan Yan, how come you are here?”

Stopping before her father: “Father, have you found a way to break the seal?”

Hearing her words, the monarch stumbled for a reply first before smiling bitterly. Then, shaking his head: “The great seal was created using my physical body as a price, removing is not a easy feat even for myself…. I’ve thought about it. If I break it then the other domains will certainly band together. By then, things will become chaotic.”

Once the domain war breaks out, the influence would extend to every corner of the worlds. Whether it be the human planes, the demon world, or the celestial world, all would be dragged into the fight. That’s why he created the seal in the first place. It’s to stop all the carnage and bloodbath.

“Father… So you’re not leaving with us?” Bai Yan got where this was headed and sounded tied, “You’ve been away from home for so long, everyone misses you so much.”

Covering the pain in his eyes by lowering them, the man shakes his head once more: “There’s no other option. Yan Yan, I will have to bother you to give them my message.”

In reality, he never actually thought about breaking the seal to begin with even if there were a way. He’s someone that willingly sacrificed himself for the wellbeing of all. Such a man would never put his own selfishness before the populous. That’s not within his character.
