Finally, Su Yu opened his eyes, awakening from his cultivation because he had felt a sudden and considerable decrease in the speed of his cultivation. Despite his efforts to reach the "Fifth-level Totem," he knew not how much time had passed without any effect, which led him to open his eyes and realize the energy here had thinned significantly. He stood up, noticed Ada still lost in a semi-transcendent state, and decided not to disturb her. Instead, he left the Instrument World alone, intending to use devices outside to refine some corpses into energy and then inject it back into this Instrument World.
Returning to the Giant Palace, Su Yu found that the crowned giant had vanished without a trace, leaving no clue as to where it might have gone, while Tezcatlipoca was tinkering with a half-destroyed device.
