"Blood God Pill, Blood God Pill, atop Snow God Mountain lies the Blood God Pill. The Blood God turns blood into a calamity lasting a thousand years; to dissolve the Blood God Pill, one needs a Blood Pill."
Only two breaths after Jiang Dali asked his question, the Monk Emperor's lingering remnant slowly sang a baffling nursery rhyme. Then, light began to shine from between his brows. The entire remnant rapidly cracked apart and gradually dissipated.
Everyone felt the world spin, their primordial spirit avatars being repelled from the Heart-Illuminating Mirror and returning to their bodies.
