Lou Feng fell silent.
He stared at him.
Dumbfounded.
Setting aside his preconceived notions and thinking through Ji Jue's question, the creation before his eyes seemed, perhaps, possibly, indeed...

But that fell under the domains of Ascension and Vortex, and the Ascension Lineage had never bothered with such matters. They could barely manage their own affairs, let alone anyone else's.
