As the ripples in the Illusory Sea Space completely subsided, Su Bai and Liu Meng found themselves standing within an utterly dark-blue void.
There was no sky, no earth, no concept of up, down, left, or right—only boundless, profound dark blue.
In this soul-oppressing void, the only adornments were the countless pale-blue points of light floating in every direction, at varying distances and heights.
These points of light varied in size, each emitting a faint yet pure blue glow that flickered unpredictably, as though following some unknown law.
They hovered silently, forming the only stars in this void and carrying an indescribable sense of order.
An intangible, formless mental pressure permeated the air, piercing straight into the depths of the soul.
Before Su Bai could carefully sense the spatial structure of this strange world, an emotionless synthetic mechanical voice rang out without warning throughout the dark-blue void, so clearly that it seemed to echo directly within their consciousness:

However, she did not seem to pay particular attention to the detail exposed by the mechanical voice—that the number was two—which had tacitly identified Su Bai
