What did the first-stage experiment of the Heavenly Kingdom Plan in Qinggang represent?
That was hard to say.
But Mom had said long ago that there would be certain things especially interested in this experiment.
So Lu Xin was not surprised that some such things would appear nearby.
This experimental base was located at sea, more than ten kilometers from the coastline.
Because Qinggang was worried that some uncontrolled power might spill out during the experiment, the coastline had been carefully selected as well. The area surrounding it was wilderness, and there were no large wilderness settlements within a hundred-kilometer radius.
Even if there had been some small villages or markets, special troops had already been dispatched to drive them away and clear them out once the experiment site had been finalized.
Therefore, the entire area around the experimental site should have been clean and desolate.
Yet across this vast, empty wilderness, a woman was slowly walking beneath the Crimson Moon.
She was extremely tall and wore a long, gorgeous black dress.
The dress was covered in faint patterns that shifted beneath the light of the Crimson Moon, sometimes visible and sometimes hidden, constantly changing into different designs.
Mysterious and exquisite, she seemed to have been carried over by the wind.
Beneath the Crimson Moon overhead, her skin was a gloomy white. Her features were delicate, as if every proportion had been measured with a ruler. She possessed a beauty that was perfect in every way, yet she was born with an air of provocation, along with an aloof expression and cold gaze.
A black crown woven from thorns rested on her head. It seemed almost alive, occasionally tightening around her head.
Noble, elegant, and haughty.
She came from afar, like a Black-robed Empress walking across the wilderness.
