Time flowed on, and a long while had passed since that battle.
As time advanced, the awakening of the Other Shore Beings drew near.
Meng Qi flickered and appeared directly outside the domain of the Ancient Fusang Tree. He saw the towering ancient tree, its two trunks supporting each other, its mulberry-like leaves seemingly bathed in golden fire.
