It's over!
It's all over!
Kannai Gongsi, filled with grief and indignation, looked at his despair, ready to welcome his death in this black mist.
After all, when facing such a perverted and destructive wind, once you're trapped within it, escape is practically out of the question…
And Kannai Gongsi absolutely didn't want to die here.
He still had countless strategies for the revitalization of Sakura in his heart, and he aspired to become the master of Sakura's reformation.
He hadn't accomplished his historically significant deeds yet, how could he possibly die like this?
Wasn't heaven playing a too big a joke on him!
What was most infuriating was that, at this very moment of facing death, he hadn't even managed to deal with the culprit who caused his demise…
Fundamentally, the reason he was so tragically laid out here had a lot to do with the supreme commander, this bastard.
If he hadn't confidently declared that his barrier could withstand the destructive wind, and that some teleportation gate could open before being eroded…
He would have chosen to use his master's abilities to desperately escape, and his chances of survival wouldn't have been small.
But things had reached this stage, and it was too late to say anything.
He could only pray that in his next life, he wouldn't encounter an idiot like the supreme commander…
However, after struggling for a long time with the certainty of death, Kannai Gongsi, to his confusion, realized that he didn't seem to feel any pain.
What was going on?
Logically speaking, the suffering brought by the destructive wind should have been extreme…
At the very least, he should have felt something.
How could it be that he was completely fine, like nothing had happened?
Could it be that his senses had been lost due to his excessive fear?
Kannai Gongsi's mind went blank, and after an unknown period, he finally opened his eyes in a daze.
It was only upon opening his eyes that he was astonished to find that the black mist that had enveloped them, as if about to consume everything, had completely disappeared without a trace…
Everything that had just happened felt like a dream, as if it had never existed!
Did I have a nightmare?
Shaking his head, Kannai Gongsi looked around but couldn't determine what had just happened.
However, what he could confirm was that his safety had been greatly assured…
Neither the black mist he had inhaled nor the aura clinging to him had caused him any harm.
In fact, after being cleansed by the black mist, he felt even refreshed…
But upon seeing the figure of the supreme commander still slumped by the command console, Kannai Gongsi understood that everything that had just happened was not a dream.
Thus, fueled by anger, he rushed forward and kicked the supreme commander:
"Get up! Stop lying on the ground pretending to be dead!"
"That black mist doesn't seem to be the destructive wind at all; our lives weren't threatened in the slightest!"
"The greatest threat is still those foreign races outside… Hurry up and get up to face the enemy!"
Although Kannai Gongsi hated this scoundrel to death in his heart, at this critical juncture, he still had to make him useful.
He had plenty of time in the future to settle scores, so why rush now?
The supreme commander had already completely given up hope and had no intention of paying attention to Kannai Gongsi, the emperor of Sakura.
After all, in his eyes, everything this scoundrel had said so far was just nonsense.
But after taking Kannai Gongsi's kick, he clearly felt pain, and the so-called destructive wind had brought no suffering at all.
Huh? What's going on? Wasn't I already surrounded by the destructive wind?
How am I still able to breathe here at this moment?
With his thoughts racing, the supreme commander tentatively raised his head and opened his eyes.
Then, he saw what Kannai Gongsi had seen upon opening his eyes…
Blue sky, clear water, green mountains, white clouds…
Everything was so beautiful, so exquisite, so kind and approachable.
It fully made the supreme commander realize what a wonderful thing it was to be alive.
Huh? Was that destructive wind just a joke?
The continuous roller-coaster experience was too thrilling, leaving the supreme commander a bit slow to react.
By the time he reacted, he realized what foolish things he had just done.
Instantly, the supreme commander's expression became awkward.
Good heavens, he had thought he was certainly going to die, and he hadn't been shy about making sarcastic remarks to Kannai Gongsi, who was struggling desperately.
But now, fate seemed to be playing a huge joke on them…
Not only were neither of them harmed, but they were also standing together safely.
Even just thinking about it, the supreme commander was almost exploding with embarrassment on the spot.
At that moment, he even wished he were dead…
Kannai Gongsi clearly sensed that the supreme commander's state was not right, and he could roughly guess what this scoundrel was thinking. Thus, he pretended to be magnanimous and smiled slightly:
"You don't really think I'd hold something like that against you, do you?"
"It was just a few mad ramblings before death; would I care about that?"
"If I were to haggle over such a thing, I wouldn't be worthy of being a ruler."
"Snap out of it! Continue to fulfill your duties!"
The supreme commander looked at Kannai Gongsi in astonishment, as if he had never known him.
In his perception, this nominal young emperor had never been an understanding person!
Now he was offering such favorable terms, it was simply outrageous.
It could only be said that this guy was enduring hardship to temporarily win people's hearts…
However, for his own future, he couldn't just reveal his hand. He might as well play along for now!
So, the supreme commander quickly put on a show of being overwhelmed with gratitude, tears streaming down his face, and vowed to Kannai Gongsi that he would work harder to correct his past mistakes.
As he spoke, the supreme commander walked towards the command console, intending to prove his intentions with actions.
But to his utter shock, the entire command console seemed to have been hacked; there was absolutely nothing on it…
If it weren't for this era of energy supply, he would have doubted if there was a power outage!
What the hell was going on!
