Darkness, an endless and boundless expanse of darkness.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared in the deepest part of the darkness.
At first, the light was weak and dim, feebly resisting the surrounding darkness.
However, it was not swallowed by the darkness, but rather, as time passed, it grew brighter and more dazzling.
An ancient stele abruptly emerged from the light, shining splendidly in all directions.
The next moment, Wang Chen opened his eyes!
"Cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently, in so much pain that he almost coughed up his lungs, gasping for air in large gulps.
Sweat covered his forehead.
Wang Chen felt an unprecedented weakness and fatigue, but his consciousness and memories simultaneously returned to his Sea of Consciousness.
His mind went from muddled to clear.
Wang Chen struggled to rise from the ground, looking around; the surroundings were familiar yet strange.
He remembered that he was in the world of the Questioning World Bell!
