Ch 72: The Dead God Lives

"The God of Death."

"Oh, him?" Ye Tian said, a playful smile tugging at his lips.

"Yes. How do we summon him?"

Ye Tian's smile widened as he turned back to the vast expanse before them.

"He's already dead."

For a moment, Ye Zhao froze, his mind struggling to comprehend the words.

"Eh?"

The single syllable escaped his lips, carrying all the disbelief he felt.

Ye Zhao froze in disbelief while his undead heart sank trying to process Ye Tian's words.

"The God of Death… is dead?" he asked in a voice that was almost breaking from the absurdity of the statement.

"Then why the hell are we here? Why are we in the Starry Plains, in this godforsaken void?"

Frustration surged within him as his gaze sharpened, fixing on Ye Tian with a glare so cold and murderous that it could have turned the void itself into dead fish.

Ye Tian couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly as he felt the intensity of that glare.
