Sixty years ago, most of the Human Clan's high-ranking members sacrificed their lives for a fleeting hope.
However, sixteen people backed out of this sacrifice at the last moment.
The Fire Ape Venerable before us is one of those sixteen.
The main reason Lin Yan does not kill him is considering this fact.
Despite withdrawing from the sacrifice, he once went with the intent to offer himself.
Only later, realizing the endeavor was indeed futile and unwilling to waste his life, did he retreat.
Even upon leaving, he never exposed the Human Clan's high-ranking scheme.
He never used this to curry favor with the Divine Demon Clan, seeking an opportunity to become a god or demon.
"If you don't take action, I will probably leave tomorrow."
Lin Yan sighed and said, "But why do you seek death?"
He reached out and grasped the Night Illuminating Divine Sword, slowly drawing it.
The blade was sharp, reflecting a cold light.
