The thunderous blast shook the factory building. The assistant could not help raising a hand to shield his face against the surging airwave crashing toward him.
His mind went blank. He did not know how long it took before everything settled. When he lowered his hand, the secret realm had already shattered. Liu Qigang stood dumbly in place, his entire worldview smashed to pieces, his face filled with the panic of seeing his path collapse.
Shi Tiexin strode toward the exit.
"Wait, wait, please wait!" The assistant did not know why he suddenly spoke up, but he simply could not control himself. He could not help chasing after him frantically.

Strive upwards, love life, and keep today's inspiration in your heart. One day, I will blaze a great undertaking worthy of people pouring their youth and dreams into it. When that time comes, come find me."
The assistant stood where he was, weeping and laughing.

Black Heaven.
Shi Tiexin's expression turned grave.
This Black Heaven was not something he could crush with
