"Soul River, you forced me to destroy a Small World I'd spent tens of thousands of years setting up. Sooner or later, I'll settle this debt." Zhou Tong gave the Small World, now returning to chaos, one last look, then casually wiped away every trace of himself.
Zhou Tong quickly left the area. Not long after he departed, a figure instantly appeared there.
