Zi Wei had an inferiority complex deep down in his heart. It originated from the Beyond Heaven King, his mentor.
The Beyond Heaven King aimed to enhance the overall strength of the Eastern Divine Region. He then decided to teach the four young god emperors, Zi Wei, Kong Hui, Jiang Taiyu, and Yu Wuying.
At that time, the four of them had just assumed their positions from their predecessors and had not yet established their prestige. When they heard that the Beyond Heaven King wanted to teach them personally, they immediately accepted his offer without hesitation.
Among the four, Zi Wei was the most ambitious individual. He aimed to become someone like the Beyond Heaven King and stand above all. With his exceptional talent, Zi Wei quickly rose to become the most powerful god-emperor among them.
When everyone in the Divine Realm learned that he was studying under the Beyond Heaven King, many began flattering him. They would give him peerless treasures and beauties. It made Zi Wei feel like he was the most dazzling star in the sky.
That moment was the best time Zi Wei had ever experienced in his life.
Everything was going well for Zi Wei until that fateful day. The Beyond Heaven King believed there was nothing left for him to teach them. He stopped teaching them and let them continue on the profound path themselves.
Zi Wei couldn't accept this. He even broke into the Beyond Heaven King's residence to beg him to continue. However, the response he received was that his talent was limited, and there was nothing the Beyond Heaven King could do.
At that moment, Zi Wei immediately realized that the Beyond Heaven King didn't truly consider him as his disciple. Otherwise, he would certainly help him overcome the problem, just as he had done for others around him.
Zi Wei felt like a fool being used by the Beyond Heaven King to strengthen the Eastern Divine Region, something he couldn't care less about. Since then, a grudge formed in his heart, and he swore he would become stronger than the Beyond Heaven King one day.
Compared to Zi Wei, the other three were aware of the truth from the beginning. They knew they were not qualified to be the Beyond Heaven King's disciples. Therefore, they had no hope from the start. That was why they always considered themselves to be his half-disciples.
Later, the Primordial God Tribe's incident occurred, and Zi Wei finally saw the opportunity to overthrow the Beyond Heaven King. He didn't hesitate to betray his idol.
Zi Wei's betrayal enabled the Primordial God Tribe to strike a blow against the Beyond Heaven King and the Divine Realm's forces. The original stalemate situation immediately changed.
As a result, an increasing number of people began to pledge themselves to the Primordial God Tribe, causing the force of the Divine Realm to weaken.
Although Zi Wei wasn't the one who landed the final blow on the Beyond Heaven King, he undoubtedly changed the course of the battle.
Kong Hui was fully aware of the complexity in Zi Wei's heart and knew it would be difficult to persuade him. He just wanted to buy as much time as possible for the arrival of Yun Lintian.
Unexpectedly, Zi Wei showed no concern for his descendants and instead chose to directly burn his life force.
Zi Wei's laughter echoed through the starry sky. Even the people within the nearby stars could hear it.
"I am the strongest, but he actually told me that my talent is limited? Hahaha! What a joke!" Zi Wei laughed even more wildly. "What a pity! I didn't kill him with my own hands."
Zi Wei spoke to himself as if he were crazy. The grudges he held in his heart finally had a chance to vent today.
"Cough! Cough!" Jiang Taiyu coughed up a mouthful of blood as he regained his balance. He first looked for Yu Wuying and Kong Hui, and his expression immediately turned solemn.
The injury to Kong Hui was not light. His entire body was charred, and even his armor was shattered.
As for Yu Wuying, she was even more miserable. She had become completely covered in blood. Her breathing was extremely weak as if she could pass away at any moment.
Jiang Taiyu knew that he had no choice at this point. If he wanted to save everyone in this situation, he must also burn his life force.
"Don't…" Kong Hui's voice suddenly resounded in Jiang Taiyu's mind as if he had seen through his thoughts.
"They have arrived." Kong Hui said further.
At this moment, the white profound ark emerged from the void. On the deck, Yun Lintian and the others looked at the devastating scene in surprise.
"Heh. A wild dog at the end of its tether." Hongyue stared coldly at Zi Wei.
Yun Lintian glanced at Zi Wei before looking at Yu Wuying and the others. "I'll leave him to you."
After saying this, Yun Lintian's figure flashed and arrived beside Yu Wuying. He grabbed her wrist, and a thick green vine immediately shot out of his arm, enveloping her body.
Zi Wei's laughter finally ceased. He raised his head to look at Yun Lintian and then at Hongyue. "You have arrived. I have been waiting for all of you."
Hongyue raised her eyebrows slightly. "Have you prepared your own tombstone?"
"My tombstone?" Zi Wei revealed a crazed smile. "Of course. I have prepared a lot of tombstones. It should be enough for everyone in the Eastern Divine Region."
Hongyue frowned when she heard this. Her spiritual sense quickly expanded, and her expression changed immediately.
"Not good. He planned to destroy everything." Hongyue shouted. She transformed into a red light and charged toward Zi Wei.
"Too late! Hahaha! All of you shall accompany me to hell!" Zi Wei laughed hysterically. His body glowed violently, emitting countless sparks of thunder that filled the entire space.
Yun Yi and Jin Long immediately took action. They tacitly formed a massive barrier around the area to contain the expansion of the thunder sparks.
Yun Lintian noticed the scene and immediately understood Zi Wei's intention. He wanted to bury everything in the Eastern Divine Region with him.
"Qingqing, bring Senior Yu and her people away. Linlin, I'll leave Senior Kong to you." Yun Lintian said as his figure morphed into a shadow.
Yun Lintian reappeared next to Hongyue and grabbed her shoulder. "Sorry. I have to take back my words."
His aura suddenly erupted…
