Sword God in a World of Magic

What after that?

At that moment, Shang's thoughts began to turn more and more abstract.

He was trying to think of something, but all his thoughts somehow stopped making sense.

He was thinking of something, but he had no idea what he was thinking about.

It was just a weird and indiscernible mess.

Shang was just sitting there, not moving.

He was just thinking.

Wait, what was he thinking about?

He didn't remember.

'Can't be that important if I forgot,' Shang thought. 'Anyway, it's interesting to know what led me down to my current Path.'

'Killing the God, huh?'

'Sure, I can do that.'

'Then, I will get rid of the Abominations as long as it doesn't require me to sacrifice myself or something like that. And finally, I will find a way to become even more powerful.'

'I refuse to believe that becoming a God is the end.'

"You haven't answered my question yet," the Lightning Emperor suddenly said.

Shang was pulled out of his thoughts and returned to reality.

He had completely forgotten that he was sitting in front of the Lightning Emperor just now.

"What was the question?" Shang asked.

"Why do you want to become a God?" the Lightning Emperor asked.

Shang didn't immediately answer because he realized that he was now in a troublesome situation.

Earlier, he could have answered that question with no problems.

Because he wanted to become more powerful.

But now, Shang had remembered the original reason for wanting to become so powerful.
