"I succeeded, the road to becoming an Immortal was just a step away. I only needed to walk upon it to become the first monster to achieve enlightenment and immortality in a millennium. However, the moment I set foot on that sacred path, I saw Purgatory."
A dim light gleamed in Golden Snake's eyes, and in that moment, Tianfu Nation turned into the Purgatory of the past. Wailing souls, the numbly battling crowd, and the disasters made of piled flesh and blood. They surrounded Zhou Li and Golden Snake, yet they could not move an inch.
Everything was too real, so real it seemed to be happening right in front of Zhou Li. Golden Snake looked at the human Purgatory, her words growing even more downhearted.
"This is the future I saw upon stepping onto the path of Immortality."
"At that moment, I understood that if I became Immortal, this future would be irreversible. Therefore, I gave up on immortality, I gave up proving the Dao for eternal life."
