A slash mark suddenly appeared in front of Su Xiao. It tore open a spatial passage, gradually forming a door. Su Xiao stepped through, and the scene before him changed abruptly.
Above was a cloudless sky stretching for thousands of miles. Beneath his feet lay a flat crystal floor covered in mist that reached his ankles. A huge clock tower stood in the distance, its hands fixed at twelve. This building, certified by the Tree of the Void, represented the Astral World being in the "present," rather than invaded by "Outsider Existence" and suffering from phenomena such as time running backward.
Su Xiao stood in the mist. A hundred meters away, a figure sat on a simple stone throne atop a high platform. The figure was over five meters tall and wore a loose golden-white robe—the same clothing worn by the leaders of the Star Apostles in the historical scenes recorded by the "Black Maple Mother Tree."
At this moment, Su Xiao finally understood who the memorial wooden carvings in the room where the Supreme Being had once resided, on the top floor of the "Element Superconductor Tower" in the Arcane Eternal Star, represented. They were all former Star Apostles.
The Supreme Being reclined on the stone throne and looked down at Su Xiao, as if gazing at rare prey—or a delicacy on a plate.
