Just as Wan Tengshan had expected, Yu Ci knew very well when to advance and when to retreat. He would never treat another's momentary forbearance as capital, and he understood one thing even more clearly:

Yet it did not head this way, instead converging directly upon the deepest part of what had once been the delusory realm.
