“Please! Our partnership can still work. If I die, you will never be unsealed!

“Do you want to be trapped there forever?

“Are you worried that your power will be confined when you come out?

“You don’t need to be scared! He can only do that to me. Your power comes from ancient times, so he can’t do anything to you.

“He has been greatly weakened. If you come out, you can easily get rid of him!

“Do you still want to work with me?”

Lumi felt cornered. No matter what terms the three beasts had, it was ready to accept them, as long as they weren’t too unreasonable.

It really needed their help now!

Himmel Soan watched in silence.

Lumi was right. If the beasts came out, things would become more difficult for him.

Would they come out?

Definitely not!

“Lumi, we don’t believe you anymore.”

“You wanted to kill us from the beginning, which is why our partnership failed. How can we trust you?”

“If you become the law of nature, we’ll probably be the first ones you eliminate. Even if you don’t kill us, you’ll be hostile toward us. We’ll have to look over our shoulders all the time.”

Only then did the beasts realize how terrifying a conscious law of nature could be.

If they came out now, the law of nature would reject and punish them, but they could live once they hid behind the seal.

What if the law of nature was conscious?

Maybe it would destroy them at all costs.

The law of nature set the rules. It couldn’t be conscious because the rules wouldn’t be rules anymore.

Therefore, they wouldn’t accept Lumi’s request.

“No! Why?

“You have to trust me! I’m the only one who can break the seal for you. I’m the only one who can change the law of nature so that you can survive in this world!”

Lumi became hysterical.

It couldn’t understand it. The plan was perfect, but why did it turn out this way?

It was all because of one man.

Himmel Soan.

“Damn you!” Lumi turned to Himmel Soan, transferring all its rage toward him.

“Is that all you’ve got? In that case, you’d better disappear!”

Himmel Soan then wiped away Lumi’s mind before opening up the confined space. Keeping the territory to his own would cost him spiritual essence.

He would have taken care of Lumi if he had known Lumi was out of its means.

He only wanted to do a clean job.

After so many years, that was all Lumi could do. How disappointing!

However, it was more likely that Gina had destroyed Lumi’s other plans, forcing it into this state.

At that thought, Himmel Soan walked up to the black stone.

“Although there’s a seal, I think you know what’s happened out here.

“Lumi is dead. There’s no one to set you free.

“Since you’re ancient beasts, you shouldn’t show up in this world. Stay where you are. If anything goes wrong, I’ll eliminate you all!” Himmel Soan said indifferently.

…

“Master, Lumi is dead!” A figure dressed in black knelt on the ground, holding a lustreless stone.

If one looked closer, one could see “Lumi” carved into the stone.

It was Lumi’s life stone. It would give off light as long as Lumi was alive. When the life stone extinguished, Lumi would die, too.

“Lumi’s dead? Where?” The person on the throne didn’t react to Lumi’s death.

He only frowned and tried to remember who Lumi was.

The man on the ground cupped his hands and said timidly, “It used to be in the Dusk Soul Forest.”

The man sitting on the throne paused. He then smirked. “Did I say I needed your reminder?

“Didn’t you see I was thinking? Get him out of here! Don’t get my hall dirty!”

Immediately, a few more people emerged.

Two of them were the king’s guards, and they were here to take away the man.

The other one was an old man. He stumbled into the hall, leaning on a walking stick. Because of his arrival, the guards didn’t carry out the order right away.

“My king, these are only petty matters. There’s no need to get angry. We should think about Lumi’s death!” The old man coughed and waved at the guards, sending them away.

“Noi, you know what I’m like. I hate it when a subordinate acts on their own. I don’t need a servant to tell me what I should be thinking!

“That’s a humiliation!” Noi cleared his throat but didn’t reply to the king.

The Spirit King did this a lot. When a subordinate reminded him, he would take it as an insult.

If the servants didn’t say anything, the king would question their loyalty. Either way, the servants were guilty.

As a result, dozens of them lost their lives. Noi had to speak up to stop some of the incidents.

“My king, Lumi died so suddenly. It’s very strange.” Instead of replying to the Spirit King, Noi returned to the serious matter.

“We just lost one of the minor subjects. It can be replaced by some other minor subject!”

The Spirit King was still mad at what had happened earlier, but he listened to Noi.

Noi focused on the big picture, and the Spirit King valued his opinions. He didn’t understand why Noi would care about that petty creature.

Similar things had happened before. There was no need to make a fuss about it.

“It’s not the same. The law of nature didn’t cause Lumi’s death. It was something else!

“Who or what else could kill Lumi? That’s the strangest thing!

“If we send anyone there, we must investigate that place first, or they’ll fail like Lumi!” Noi analyzed the situation.
