“Lin Huang, you abandoned your post and brought down a calamity-class beast tide, causing the commander's legitimate son to die. Your crime is unforgivable. Your qi sea is to be stripped away, and you are to be executed at once!”
At the trial, watched by a vast crowd, the scion Li Tiancheng wore Lin Huang's own God-Slaying Medal as he looked down and pronounced the death sentence.
Lin Huang made no defense. As he hovered on the brink of death, the God of War Tombstone in his mind suddenly awakened, revealing the cruel truth:
Ten years later, both his legs would be crippled, and he would become a beggar in the slums, freezing to death in the bitter cold. Meanwhile, the Li family, rising step by step over his bones, would seize all the city's source stones and board an ark when the world-ending disaster struck, abandoning five million civilians to their fate!
To hell with protecting humanity! To hell with putting the greater good first!
“Didn't you say this source core was proof that I caused the beast tide?”
“Then today, I'll let you see with your own eyes what it means to have ten thousand beasts at your gates!”
In the next instant, Lin Huang crushed with his bare hands the rampaging divine core, reverse-charged by the tombstone. He overturned the entire courthouse and smashed through the city gates, vanishing into the distance amid towering flames and shrill alarms!
From then on, a barren, evil city of wrongful death stood on the wasteland.
You steal my achievements, I slaughter your entire family. You treat the outer city as ants, so I'll use ten thousand tombstones to forge your great families into ghost soldiers!
When the gods of the apocalypse opened their cold eyes, the powerful in the shelters finally prostrated themselves beneath the wasteland's demonic city, wailing and begging for mercy.
Lin Huang stood atop the countless tombstones, his long blade dripping with blood. “The tombstones I erect are for the dead alone.”
