"Then, what's even the point of this entire conversation?" Shang asked.
"If everything is hopeless to begin with, and all of existence is doomed to die to the Abominations either way, what point would any of my actions have?"
The Lightning Emperor looked with a complicated expression at Shang.
He realized that he had painted a very bleak picture. While he didn't think that everything would be hopeless and meaningless in that case, he could see that wanting an answer from Shang for such a hypothetical would be intellectually dishonest for judging his actual character.
In the end, the Lightning Emperor was kind of relieved by Shang's answers.
Shang was a very dark person with very dark desires, but he was still far better than King Sanctified Death.
Even more, even if Shang were… it didn't matter.
Maybe, he wasn't even the first…
