After all, he was their ancestor and their last hope.
"But as long as Qing Shan remains, all can be faced," Divine Blood Heavenly Monarch said calmly looking at the clanspeople,
Some were disgruntled, some angry, and others remained silent without a word.
He said calmly, "You can all choose your own fates, you may submit to Shi Ya if you wish, or if you're unwilling, you may choose death instead.
I respect either choice, but let me tell you one thing.
As long as Qing Shan is still here, there's always a chance for a fresh start."
After his words ended, the several Clan Elders beside him sighed softly as well.
The situation was dire, and they had no choice but to either die or abandon the struggle.
They could not allow their race to be destroyed on their watch.
"We greet our lord," the Clan Elders bowed first, turning to Shi Ya in greeting.
Watching the Clan Elders submit, the rest of the clanspeople also started kneeling one after another.
