Seeing Aiden fall silent, Liu Zhi smiled instead.
"Does it feel like there's no way forward? Like there's no territory left where you can conduct your experiments? Like your Underworld Ecosystem is being affected by other people's Underworld Ecosystems?"
From his vantage point, Liu Zhi could see Aiden's situation at a glance.
Aiden nodded repeatedly. That was exactly where he was stuck, and it was also why he hadn't moved with his family when they relocated. Instead, he had stayed behind at Bone Wind Academy.
