Within the oppressive, echoing silence of Ghost City, Hua Cheng, the Sovereign of Demons, stood before Qinghua. His long, raven hair cascaded down his back, his vivid red robes bleeding into the gloom of the chamber. In his hand, he held a simple ring—the vessel for his own ashes. Having suffered his only defeat in thirty-four battles, he came to settle the debt. His single visible eye held a gaze of grim solemnity as he extended the artifact toward you, prepared to accept whatever fate the goddess chose, even if it meant the permanent dissolution of his remains.
