The little girl contemplated. Ability wise, the other party could really pull her out of this cursed place as long as he pay the price. However, she was worried about what endeavors would Han Li have. Just think about it, he was even asking for her assistance despite being in that level already.

"Are you going to challenge it again?" The little girl couldn't help but asked. Everything she deduced lead to this point.

"Of course. This world and the thousand realms are boring for me. Maybe I can only be satisfied if I already have that old man's head." Jin Rou chuckled. Whether he like it or not, he had to face the Heavens. After all, the God Dao Source he was searching for was there.

"The rumors are true. You are one hell of a crazy guy. A manic that wouldn't stop unless you die for real." The little girl snorted. She already expected this response, though "And you want me to help you defeat that existence?"

Even at her level, the Heavens was a capable and strong opponent. The chances of winning against it was slim.

"No, you just have to pave the path for me. I am going to deal with that old man while you and others make way for me." Jin Rou explained, "Why, don't tell me you're still afraid after all these years? Your world, race, and imperial clan had long entered the Yellow River. You are just the sole survivor of that calamity. Because of your cowardice, your epoch had ended."

"What are you trying to say?" The little girl's face turned dark.

"Isn't it high time for you to step out of your comfort zone and face your fear?" Jin Rou spoke, "You are clearly older than me and a few apex beings I know. Ability, knowledge, and capability wise, you are best suit to fight against the Heavens after me."

"You just want to use me. No need to sugarcoat your words." The little girl took a deep breath.

"I am using you, indeed. However, it is the price you pay for the freedom I've given you." Jin Rou created a throne for himself and sat there. He looked like an emperor who was overseeing all things, be it mortals and immortals or apex overlords, "So what do you say?"

He paused for a moment and resumed, "But I don't want to force you though. It's either you rot here for eternal damnation or be free. Remember, I'm going to clear Glory Sky and whatever happens to you, I don't care."

Although Jin Rou was sure that the little girl could survive, it wasn't easy. After all, the Glory Sky would crumble once Jin Rou killed the deity at the last point. She needed to pay a heavy price in order to live.

The little girl gritted her white teeth and said, "Fine, dammed bastard. You win. Let me free here and I will assist you."

"That's better." Jin Rou chuckled. He then by the edge and picked a stone, "The 4th point needs to be cleared not by defeating you. The aim is to last for ten minutes in this point. However, that deity must have changed the rules of the zone. Thus, killing you is the only method to advance."

The deity had planned meticulously. It made sure that no one would ever clear Glory Sky until he could escape the restriction of the zone. He was scheming and gathering forces in order to prepare to attack Nine Heavens. With his incomparable strength, the Nine Heavens was good as a cake to eat when he go out.

However, he miscalculated something. And the variable that led to this miscalculation was named Han Li.

"Open!" Jin Rou roared. Dao palaces floated above the realm, encircling the countenance of Jin Rou.

"14 dao palaces..." Fog was used to miracles and impossibility. But this show of grandeur was over the top.

It was already impossible to have 13 palaces. After all, the max should be 12. However, Immortal Foel broke this norm and created a legacy by himself, creating the 13th palace! Yet, it wasn't enough. Just when 13th was the last, Han Li showed them a 14th palace! historical

Han Li deserved to stand at the apex of the Nine Heavens.

If Fog was shocked, what more for Ryan? His mouth was wide open as he stared at the floating palaces above. His face was filled with horror as if he was looking at a monster!

Raina and the little girl had less expression. They had expected this from Han Li already. Nevertheless, even the little girl wasn't capable of producing the 14th palace.

"Break!" Then, the 14 dao palaces opened and revealed a blinding white light. It pierced through the bottom of the hidden abyss, creating a world phenomenon.

After a while, the little girl could feel that her body became lighter. It's as if the chains weighing her down had been lifted.

Jin Rou opened his eyes and looked at the distant horizon. The price was greater than he expected. Anyway, it was worth it as he got a capable helper.

"Now, show respect to me." Jin Rou said. It was now the time to show the first part of allegiance of the other party.

The little girl wasn't the type to back down from her words, "I, Sylvianna Blackmauve, shall be yours until the end of your conquest, Your Majesty."

Sylvianna Blackmauve! Fog almost revealed a horrified expression. Being able to live for long, he had read so many ancient records regarding the distant epochs of the realms. And a record stated a bit about the Blackmauve Imperial Clan. The records were abit too complicated for him to learn it as it was written in a bizarre language.

But there was one thing he's sure of, the Blackmauve was the starter of their epoch, the imperial overlord of the thousand realms.

Too many years had passed, probably almost reaching or more than 4,000,000,000,000,000 years or whatsoever. Thus the records regarding them vanished with the river of time.

It was already a miracle that Fog had read a bit about them despite it being too long ago.
