Time reverted to 9:59.
Inside the belly of the Dragon of the Vaulted Sky.
Shiyu Ling and the Colored Glaze Disaster had both departed, while the immobile giant dragon worshippers had vanished under the light.
The pure white narcissus flowers gradually faded, leaving the underground space utterly empty.
Only a lifeless body remained.
Gongsun Ce lay motionless in a pool of blood.
Click, click.
In the vast space devoid of any life, the sound of mechanical operations echoed.
The sound came from a door that led to the interior of a white tower aboveground.
The heavy iron door that Gongsun Ce and Shiyu Ling had transcended using their superpowers.
