"Now, do I have the right to negotiate terms with you?"
Han Zhan hadn't forgotten their initial agreement.
He had proven himself.
Now it was Dawn Number One's turn.
"Certainly."
After speaking, Dawn Number One lifted his black hood once more.
An aged face was revealed before Han Zhan.
Han Zhan's pupils shrank when he saw it, instinctively taking two steps back.
Nothing else.
Because the person before him looked exactly like the old man he had previously seen on the small boat on the River of Eternal Darkness!
"Who are you, exactly?" Han Zhan asked in a composed tone.
"As you see, I am Dawn Number One." The old man opposite paused momentarily, a trace of a smile appearing on his face, "Of course, you may also call me Cosmic Will."
"Former Cosmic Will," he added.
Dawn Number One was indeed Cosmic Will.
Han Zhan could never have anticipated this.
"Then the reason you let me enter the River of Eternal Darkness was..."
"For self-rescue."
Dawn Number One admitted frankly.
