"Well done, Emperor Shitian. I didn't expect you actually pulled it off." Full-time Expert walked up to Emperor Shitian, his tone a mix of admiration and complex emotions—a recognition of the plan's success, tinged with a slight regret about being a step behind in the grand scheme.
Emperor Shitian smiled slightly, the corners of his mouth turning upwards, clearly feeling proud, though he feigned modesty with a wave of his hand: "Hahaha, not at all, it was just serendipity, the Heavenly Mandate is with me. Actually, Master, your plan was indispensable too—defeating the Demon Lord and obtaining the Saint Fragments requires a powerful team. We'll undoubtedly have to continue collaborating in the future."
He paused, his eyes bright as he looked at Full-Time Expert: "Master, would you be willing to join me in saving this Great Thousand Worlds and sharing in this grand cause?"
The words were beautifully spoken, but the meaning was clear—it's "join me" to save the world, not "with me."
