The roulette spun faster and faster.
In the end, the seven-colored halos blurred completely into a dazzling vortex of light and shadow.
Zong Shen stood at the center of the Ice Abyss, which had shattered like rubble, as a long-lost sense of anticipation and thrilling excitement surged up from the depths of his heart.

Its surface was covered in fine, cracked patterns, like a riverbed
