Yu Sheng spent a great deal of effort trying to explain to Eileen that he hadn't "eaten" the enormous control mechanism, but had instead transformed it—the Boundary Bridge itself was an "extraneous object" that transcended reality, and could even be transferred and contained like a spirit...

Baili Qing silently watched everything from the side. It was difficult to read any emotion on her calm face, but there seemed to be a trace of relaxation in her eyes.

Above the ruins of the temple, the murky sky seemed to be disturbed by something. At some point, countless indistinct clusters of shadows had converged, then been stirred by an invisible force, forming a gigantic vortex of clouds. The vortex rapidly expanded, and at its center, a huge void seemed to have been torn open, connecting to a distant dimension.
