Li Haotian smiled faintly, forming a screen of light that enveloped the two of them.
"Since fate has brought us together, I'll bestow upon you a gift." As his words fell, Li Haotian pointed into the void with his finger, and a beam of light shot into Lin Chen's mind.
Gazing at the two silhouettes within the sphere, Li Haotian let out a long sigh: "Little one, soon the Earth will face a catastrophe. I hope you can help the Earth through this safely!"
As his words ended, Li Haotian's figure slowly shattered, dissolving into specks of golden light dispersing in the stone chamber.
The stone chamber resumed its tranquility, with only the two figures tightly entwined within the light screen.
As the light screen shattered, their intertwining came to an end.
Golden specks fell like delicate rain, and amidst the golden shower, two figures shot out.
One leading and one following, Lin Chen increased his speed to the limit, rushing towards the door.
