"Years ago, at my command, a large number of elite from the Human Clan died on the front lines."
"They were willing to heed my order and meet their demise because they believed we, the upper echelons of the Human Clan, could seek a path forward for humanity."
"But now, as the leader of the Human Clan, if I were to betray them and ally with you, how would I face those soldiers who perished on the front lines by my command in the next life beneath the Nine Springs?"
He raised his head and said, "Without the Emperor Clan, the Human Clan can live better! Destroy a Dragon Head City, and the Human Clan can build hundreds or thousands of new cities! If Shangguan Shang dies, there will be more Human Martial Saints in the future! But if we surrender today, the Human Clan has no path forward!"
"Then you can only die here."
