Zhong Li waited as a 30,000-man Balak Kingdom legion surrounded his execution platform and set firewood alight to smoke him out. He unleashed Resonance of Rock, devastating the troops, while the Garrison Commander realized the ground was the danger and shouted for his soldiers to get off it.

At a night-market barbecue stall, Zhong Li revealed that Qiangwei was the living Space-Time Crystal created through Liang Bing’s research, leaving Qiangwei shaken by the news. Liang Bing accepted the connection and invited Qiangwei to eat, while Qiangwei remained unable to process what she had learned.

• Liang Bing tried skewers with Zhong Li, then asked him what gave life meaning, and Qiangwei arrived with her own answer about protecting those who believed in them.
