Chapter 4573
Master Magaera had been severely wounded when he returned to the Floating Island. That
was why he had chosen not to travel to the Sealed Fiend Mountain, preferring to remain to
restore his powers.
"You're right," Empress Heidi said to Magaera, but her chest still throbbed anxiously.
At that point, a series of thunderous sounds erupted from the square, prompting many
officials to raise their heads and gaze upward.
’They're back!"
"It really is them.’
More than ten thousand Godly Region soldiers advanced at breakneck speed in the air.
They appeared to be completely exhausted, and their faces seemed woeful.
They had returned.
Empress Heidi was overcome with emotion when she saw the sight. However, when she
noticed that the Nine Heaven Emperor was not among the group, she realized something
was wrong.
’Your Majesty!"
Darryl and the soldiers from the Godly Region had finally arrived at the square. They all
bowed their heads and fell to their knees.

A split second later, Darryl bowed his head and addressed Empress Heidi solemnly. "The
fiend race had been put down on the Sealed Fiend Mountain. This is the Ancient Ancestor's
fairy soul, and that is the fine jade from Empress Nuwa's collection."
He passed the bloody crystal ball that contained the Ancient Ancestor's fairy soul and the
fine jade that Empress Nuwa's fairy soul had transformed into.
Empress Heidi looked at Darryl in shock as she took the items. "Where's the Emperor?"
Empress Heidi was a little taken aback by Darryl's appearance. After all, the fiend race had
kidnapped him and taken him away. However, the Nine Heaven Emperor was her primary
concern at the time and nothing else.
Master Magaera and the other officials stared intently at Darryl, waiting for a response.
Darryl sighed. "I hope you're prepared to hear what I'm about to say, Your Majesty. His
Majesty was killed alongside Archfiend Antigonus."
Darryl's expression was one of absolute disappointment.
Darryl had never cared much for the Nine Heaven Emperor. However, his sacrificial act of
sacrificing himself to take down Archfiend Antigonus was one worthy of respect.
What?
Everyone, including Master Magaera and Empress Heidi, felt their hearts drop to the
bottom of their stomachs. It was as if they had just gotten struck by thunder.
’You-"
Empress Heidi cast her red-rimmed eyes toward Darryl. She tried her best to control her
emotions as she asked, "What did you say? Please repeat that."
Empress Heidi was in complete denial. She refused to believe that the great ruler of the
Godly Region, her beloved Nine Heaven Emperor, was gone.
That was impossible.
Darryl exhaled out loud, grief clear on his face. "My deepest condolences, Your Majesty.
Archfiend Antigonus had also fallen, along with the Nine Heaven Emperor. I saw that
happen myself, along with the other soldiers here."
Empress Heidi's vision darkened. She trembled and swayed as if she was about to pass
out.
"Your Majesty!"
Master Magaera was quick enough to hold her up in time. He said, "Please take care of
yourself, Your Majesty. Grieve as much as you want to." Tears flowed down his face as well.
Empress Heidi did not say anything in response. She stared blankly at the Sealed Fiend
Mountain as tears poured down her cheeks.

'You promised me forever. Why did you abandon me?'
"Your Majesty..."
Empress Heidi could not take it any longer; she burst into tears.
At the same time, the other officials fell to their knees. Their grief was palpable; the entire
Imperial Sky Palace ached.
’Darryl Darby!"
Master Magaera snapped back to his senses. He sized Darryl up coldly." What happened?"
Master Magaera had never liked Darryl and thought nothing of his title as the Nine Heaven
Sage. His heart's overwhelming grief and pain pushed him to start interrogating Darryl.
Darryl took a deep breath before describing what had happened.
Master Magaera stopped short when he heard what had happened. He blinked blankly as
he tried and failed to return to his senses. He never guessed that the quest to take down
the fiend race had been filled with so many struggles.
More than that, Darryl had, like the Holy Sky Stone had predicted, been the key to
destroying the entire fiend race.
In other words, Darryl was the main person responsible for defeating the fiend race.
Master Magaera's expression hardened as his chest bubbled with resentment at the
thought. As the Nine Heaven Emperor's right-hand man, he should have been the one to
claim credit for the victory. Yet Darryl had swooped in and taken it from him, and he was
beyond resentful about it.
