Amid a dizzying whirl of profound mystery, Li Sandao felt his body rapidly growing and maturing.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself restored to his prime.
Two guards in gray robes stood before him, scanning his body with instruments inscribed with special runes.
While the two guards performed their scans, another man, apparently in charge of this area, approached and asked condescendingly:
"Advance operative Li Sandao, what is the purpose of your return?"
Li Sandao did not dare talk back to this superior. He explained his reasons for returning and the importance of the Storm Gang in exhaustive detail.
After listening, the supervisor nodded slightly. "Very good. Your reasons are sufficient."
Just then, the other two finished their inspection.
Once they confirmed there were no problems, Li Sandao changed into a gray-black robe and left the Reincarnation Hall.
Upon leaving the hall, the first thing he saw was a mysterious region shrouded in all manner of mist.
Neither the sky nor the sun was visible in this space.
Most of the structures within the mist were towers built from countless human skulls, creating an utterly sinister atmosphere.

It housed not only numerous vital installations, but also countless sacrificial offerings and boons from their great deity.
Without special runes and tokens, the bizarre traps and restrictions throughout this region could easily turn Li Sandao into soil for the planet.
Following the route in his memory to the letter, Li Sandao swiftly left the hall behind. After traveling for roughly half an hour, he ascended a bloody, grotesque pagoda tower.
