Beyond the world.
Bai Suzhen transformed into the World Serpent, interpreting the principles of law.
Within the world.
Cihang Daoist held victory in her grasp.
Buddha Mother Zhunti pressed his palms together.
He was merely a projection. In this era of sweeping changes across myriad worlds, suffering some setbacks was perfectly normal.
