Mu Zhu looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin continued, "Caging them sounds awful, but at least it tells us that not everyone in your universe is dead. Maybe your universe wasn't rebooted after all, right?"
Mu Zhu's gaze fell on the stones again.
"We still have a chance to rescue them," Lu Yin said.
Mu Zhu gave a bitter smile. "Maybe."
Lu Yin changed the subject. "Of course, we can't rule out that the guy on the other side is trying to provoke us—or bait us into making a move. I don't want to fool myself. We can only see our enemy clearly if we face reality."

The other side had marked the coordinates directly. If they weren't mistaken, they pointed to Mr. Mu and the others' universe.

If Lu Yin and the others had found First Line of Heaven by ordinary means, they could have pinpointed the location of Mr. Mu's universe. But they had come here with Blood Tower's help and didn't even know where they were. Those coordinates could only serve as a reference.
