Lin stood on the hotel balcony, gazing up at the sky.
Since morning, one flying craft after another had risen into the sky and left this world.
Just moments ago, a powerful fighter had shot upward and kicked open the firmament, revealing the shimmering images of more than fifty worlds in the void.
After surveying them, the fighter flew toward one of those worlds.
As time passed, more and more massive craft raced skyward, and more powerful fighters who could tear open the void appeared.
It seemed something momentous was happening.
Lin watched for a while, then lowered her gaze and began her morning exercises.
Gu Qingshan returned just then.
"I may have to head out for a while," he told her.
Lin slowly went through a set of punches and asked without turning around,
"Where are you going?"
"A friend of mine seems to be in a nearby world. I need to find him," Gu Qingshan said.
"A very close friend?"
"Mm."
"Zhang Yinghao or Ye Feili?"
"..."
Gu Qingshan suddenly remembered that she had once read his thoughts.
"Zhang Yinghao."
He decided to tell her what was going on.
Lin listened quietly, then murmured, "I see. He's being hunted down?"
Another powerful fighter shot into the sky, opened up hundreds of worlds with a single punch, and darted into them, vanishing from sight.
"So many people are racing to leave. They're probably all after the gods' reward," Gu Qingshan said, studying the scene in the sky.
"Gods? It's just the Abyss Magic Dragon. It's pulling all the strings from behind the scenes," Lin said scornfully.
After finishing her set of punches, she lowered her stance, turned, and said,
"I'm coming with you."
Gu Qingshan hesitated. "It'll probably be dangerous. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you."
