"So, there shouldn't be any more problems with this ascension passage now, right?"
As the many Dou Dis gathered here and looked up at the opening at the top of the heavens, recalling all the trouble from before, Xiao Yan could not help adding that extra question.
"Problems? What other problems could there be?"
The Yao Emperor, who had appeared at some point, said flatly, "The only issue might be that the distortion between the inner and outer spacetime will take some time to completely fade. But no matter what, it is indeed moving closer to the 'correct' time."
"The correct time?"
"Just like that fleeting glimpse you had when you became Dou Dis. There is no need to pay it too much mind."
The Yao Emperor shook his head, watching Yao Wan and Xun Er playfully fight as they flew above the clouds.
"That may be true, but wasn't that basically the same as saying nothing?"
Seeing familiar faces she had not met in a long while, Yao Wan darted and weaved to evade Xun Er's attacks while complaining.
"What nonsense are you spouting now?"
The Yao Emperor looked speechlessly at Yao Wan, who kept dodging Xun Er before eventually hiding beside Xiao Yan. She loved undermining him more than anyone.
"Forget it. I have more or less gotten used to it. Oh, right, someone in the clan has always been clamoring to go to the Great Thousand World with you. Will you consider taking her along?"
Watching Yao Wan circling around Xiao Yan and Xun Er, the Yao Emperor spoke before lightly sweeping his fingertip through the air. A Space Tunnel immediately opened.
A graceful green-blue figure rushed out from within, drawing everyone's attention.
"Huh? Qing Lin?"
"Miss! Please take me to the Great Thousand World with you!"
