And a special shout out to the creator of:

Would it be allegiance or death? 

It would be up to them. 

The master of the Broken Star Palace was already powerless to reverse their desperate situation. Before Xiu, he could not summon any courage at all. Even he did not have the courage to face Xiu. All of his strength had vanished as he stood trembling in place, as if he would faint in the next second. 

The pressure Xiu put on him was enough to suffocate an ordinary man to death. 

The members of the Broken Star Palace exchanged glances between themselves. 

Shen Yanxiao's words stepped firmly on the depths of their souls. 

When they first entered the Broken Star Palace, which one of them did not want to be a hero of the Radiance Continent? 

Which one did not want to make a contribution to the strength of mankind? 

However, after entering the Broken Star Palace, all they had to do every day was cultivate, completely isolated from the outside world, and occasionally left the Broken Star Palace to complete the tasks a.s.signed by the palace master. 

Striking the four countries and suppressing the rising forces. 

They could not remember how much blood of others had stained their hands. 

Everything was completely different from their remarkable entry into the Broken Star Palace. 

They had once questioned and felt remorse, but there were so many powerful people in the Broken Star Palace. They could no longer control their own lives and could only submit,until their conscience disappeared and became numb from the day by day cultivation. 

Their life had become mechanized, and their only goal was to constantly cultivate to a higher level. 

But when they reached a higher level, they no longer had any idea for what reason they were doing this in the end. 

Three years later, the Devil Race would reappear on the surface. This destructive news had woken up the hearts of those who had been numb for a long time. 

Was it not their original goal to defend the Radiance Continent against the invasion of external forces? 

A member of the Broken Star Palace slowly stepped out of the crowd. He had an old appearance and looked over sixty years old. Before the eyes of everyone, he stood in the middle of the two armies. 

"I am a sage of the Broken Star Palace. I have been in the Broken Star Palace for more than two thousand years, and have done a lot of bad things. I have sent people who are not strong enough to the laboratories and turned them into medicine dregs. I've always thought that since the Broken Star Palace now exists in this way, I should just follow this pattern. Shen Yanxiao, Lord of the Barren Land, I choose to surrender and pay allegiance to you. Perhaps you will think that I am greedy for life and afraid of death, and I’m living on just for the sake of remaining alive. But as you said, the confrontation with the Devil Race three years from now is the final test for me. My life has already been a sinful one. I don't seek a secure life. I just want to die on the battlefield against the Devil Race.” The old man spoke slowly, the pace of his speech changed from flat to basic, and his eyes were slightly red, filled with both remorse and shame for what he had done.

Shen Yanxiao quietly looked at the first person to come forward. From the other side's aura, she could feel that he had reached the peak of the second stage profession, and was only one step away from the realm of a Saint in his Profession. 

"I gave you the opportunity to choose; I will not think more about your reasons. Three years hence, whether the Radiance Continent falls into the hands of the Devil Race will depend on your performance. This land needs the protection of us human beings. I hope you will not shame your ident.i.ty as a strong person." Shen Yanxiao smiled and accepted his submission.
