Though Angelica did not really elaborate, Hao Ren could still guess the condition of the ancient sage.
First of all, the ancient sage was not a human, no doubt about it. And he was still alive, but in bad shape.
The ancient sage was the highest existence in Twilight Capital. Human beings living here regarded it as a god. During the early days of Twilight Capital, the ancient sage was still healthy and was indeed the supreme ruler of the city. But that situation did not remain for long. The ancient sage might have made some sacrifice when he established Twilight Capital. This sacrifice had drained his vitality and his ability to govern the city. According to Wendell, the ancient sage no longer had direct involvement in the governing affairs of the city 1,500 years ago and stopped contacting the outside world one thousand years ago. It was during that time that the Iron Throne was closed for the ordinary people.
