Rain.
In the night rain, a gate of light opened.
Gu Qingshan stepped out.
"Lady..."
He looked back. Sacrificial Dance Lady's shadow stood where it was, seeming to quietly sense something.
"This world seems to forbid the use of any Transcendence power," Shadow said.
"That's right. This is the World of Earth," Gu Qingshan replied.
A rope of light descended from the sky.
A Time Fishman was tied to the rope.
—The Time Clan.
It slid rapidly down the rope of light, finally stopping across from Gu Qingshan.
"Are you the one destroying time and space?"
The Time Fishman stared at him as it asked.
"Of course not," Gu Qingshan replied.
"The time and space you left behind were destroyed, affecting the stability of time and history," the Time Fishman said.
"I don't know what happened," Gu Qingshan replied.
"If you destroyed time and space, then you are the natural enemy of our clan," the Time Fishman said.
"It wasn't me, and I have no intention of making enemies of you," Gu Qingshan replied.
"—Whether they're liars or those who destroy time and space, we throw them into the Land of Stilled Time for eternal torment," the Time Fishman said.
Feeling the killing intent radiating from the other party, Gu Qingshan knew that if the World of Earth hadn't cut off all Transcendence powers, the other party would already have attacked.
He wore an earnest expression and said in a low voice, "I have no idea what happened."
"But you were the only one who appeared at that moment on the River of Time," the Time Fishman said.
Sacrificial Dance Lady's shadow whispered, "The Time Clan are all stubborn as mules. There's no reasoning with them. Unless you've stood on their side before, they won't change their minds."
