When you're needed, it's all "brothers and sisters of Soul Fusion." When you're not, it's a "holy severing"—suddenly, nobody knows you.
Such a masterful display of casting aside allies once they've served their purpose was truly a sight to behold. One could hardly resist badmouthing a supposedly mighty Celestial God for committing such a morally bankrupt act.
Westheid, however, didn't hold Emperor Qianlu in quite so much contempt. From Wan Qi, he had obtained firsthand, authentic intelligence about the Demons.
"The creation of a Celestial God's Shadow is due to a betrayal of one's original aspiration, a wavering of one's will."
The weight of this wisdom, spoken by the first Demon in history after ten thousand years, was self-evident.
If Emperor Qianlu had harbored deceitful intentions from the very beginning, then the filth he expelled would never have become Demons.
It was precisely because Emperor Qianlu felt guilty that the severance had to be so absolute.
