Unlike in the past, when Lin Ge recited the spell to summon Miliya (the portal) this time, Miliya appeared before him almost instantly, whereas the summoning would usually take about a minute.
Ever since the last time on Dragon Blood Island, when the Egg of Oshana taught Lin Ge the convenient and fast beacon teleportation method, Miliya had developed a sense of crisis.
In order to have Lin Ge use her more often than the beacon teleportation, she paid close attention, listening for the call from the void, rushing over the moment she heard Lin Ge's voice.
In the past, when there was nothing to do, she would typically fall into a deep slumber, with the summoning spell serving to awaken her.
Now, for Lin Ge, she sacrificed her sleep time to maintain a state of readiness to respond at any moment.
However, the situation was urgent at the moment, and Lin Ge didn't have time to think about why Miliya arrived so quickly.
