The Wangyue Rain Emperor fell directly to his knees, burying his head in his hands and sobbing bitterly. He faced a choice: gamble everything on that slim chance of becoming an Emperor, or concede defeat now, abandon his ambitions, and trade his path for a life of safety.
"Damn it all! I choose to fight!"
After a moment of agonizing struggle, the Wangyue Rain Emperor made a desperate decision. He would suppress Fang Qian! If he succeeded, it would bring his total of suppressed Quasi-Emperors to one hundred, significantly increasing his odds of attaining the Dao and becoming an Emperor himself. And if he succeeded in his ascension, he would no longer have to fear the Goateed Emperor coming for revenge. But if he failed, he would die—which was still better than stopping at the Quasi-Emperor stage and living with the regret forever.
