Just as Suiseiseki had said, the dream before them was completely blank.
There was no sky, no ground, nothing at all—only endless white.
"What do we do now?"
Suiseiseki looked curiously at Fang Zheng. She also wanted to see what this human was capable of, to solve a problem even they had been unable to resolve.
