The Realm of Shadows was a dark, oppressive place where light barely penetrated. Zhao Yue felt at home, her powers resonating with the realm.
The Shadow King, a mysterious figure cloaked in darkness, regarded them with amusement. "Why would the Realm of Shadows join such a noble cause? Chaos is our nature."
Zhao Yue stepped forward, her tone defiant. "Chaos has its place, but the Shadow God seeks to erase even that. Will you let him destroy your dominion?"
The Shadow King chuckled. "You make a fair point. Still, I require proof of your commitment. Complete the Trial of Shadows, and I'll consider your request."
