• Lian Zizhang recovered, and Bai Yujing entrusted a still-unconscious survivor to Chen Lin before leading the group toward the passage’s exit.

Chen Lin recovered from his injuries, received a drop of primal essence blood from the rescued dominator Wunie, and made preparations for the approaching Ascension Trial. As the secret realm grew more dangerous and the city grew tense, Lian Zizhang emerged from seclusion and asked Chen Lin to go somewhere with him.
