Upon the boundless Black Ocean, a plain Fourfold Platform stood silently.
Before Bai Zhi could study the little sapling before him any further, an extremely faint sense of dizziness washed over him, and he was forcibly pulled into a Blood Sea.
Then, a somewhat familiar voice came from beside him.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Bai Zhi: "..."
"...Have you recovered a little of your power?"
The corner of Bai Zhi's mouth twitched slightly as he turned to look at the Pink Haired Girl standing behind him.
He remembered clearly that she had possessed no ability to actively pull him into a dream before.
Just like the previous times he had come here, her outfit had not changed in the slightest. What stood out most was her generous bosom—truly, generosity could contain greatness.
Fortunately, her clothing resembled ancient attire. If it had been the modern button-up kind, he genuinely worried the buttons might fly off.
"No, I merely freed up a little of my power."
Shaking her head slightly, the Pink Haired Girl began to explain in detail.
"The Square Stone Platform is a Key Node resisting Hell's erosion of the Underworld. The Book of Life and Death, the World Contract, and most of my own power have only barely managed to maintain a balance together. Because of that, the power I can draw upon is quite limited. But after I planted the seed bestowed by Your Majesty and it began to grow, that sapling took on part of the pressure for me, allowing me to free up a little of my power."
"Is that so..."
Bai Zhi glanced toward the Stone Tablet and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Although there had not been any major changes outside, perhaps because she had freed up some of her power, this dreamscape had changed considerably.
