"An opportunity?" Li He asked in confusion.
Su Yuqing explained, "According to Federation records, the difficulty of a Liminal Space adjusts to the overall strength of those who enter it. It's like a trial awaiting warriors. If you can make it through, you'll earn the Abyss's recognition—or, you could say, its blessing."
"The blessing differs from person to person, but they all have one thing in common: they can greatly lessen the pressure the Abyssal Demonic Qi puts on you, helping warriors explore deeper into the Abyss."
Li He was shaken.
Lessen the Abyss's pressure?
For warriors bent on exploring the Abyss and pursuing greater martial prowess, this was practically a dream come true.
The deeper they went into the Abyss, the stronger the anomalous beasts became. Devouring them also provided more energy.
"How do we get out?" Li He asked.
"According to the records, a Liminal Space isn't a single room. It usually consists of five layers. Make it through all five, and you can leave."
"This Corridor we're in now is the second layer."
"To enter the third layer," Su Yuqing said with a smile, "we need to find a change within an unchanging space."
At her words, Li He silently circulated his qi and blood.
In the first room, his point of change had been the Dream-Eating Tapir on the television. Su Yuqing's had been Sun Jiaoyang, calling for help.
And in this second room...
An unremarkable Corridor, where the only change was their unexpected encounter.
Qi and blood gathered around Li He, ready to erupt at any moment.
A deathly silence settled over the air.
"Why aren't you making a move?" Su Yuqing asked.
"I'm not a murderer. I don't attack people without reason," Li He said calmly. "So I'm waiting for you to strike first.
