With this step, Chen Cuo shifted his form and emerged from the Natural Grand Formation. He found his bearings and was about to head off when, the instant he left the formation, his whole body lurched and he fell!
"Hm?"
Chen Cuo landed on a hilltop. His feet sank deep into the earth, and cracks spread outward.
A crushing force bore down on Chen Cuo. He drew a deep breath and flicked his sleeve, sending out a ball of light that he caught in his hand. The force kept driving him deeper into the ground!
Wrapped in the light was a Talisman that shifted ceaselessly.
"Before I leave, I really do need to make some arrangements. Otherwise, the trouble it causes could be endless..."
The scene around Chen Cuo had warped slightly, giving off ripples. In the Netherworld, it was linked to the Grand Formation, answering it across the distance. It seemed that a single push of his will would bring the two together!
Time Authority!
"This Divine Spirit Talisman came from that Human King's consort. She's deeply mysterious. Though she's a deity, she hardly ever displays any Divine Abilities, and she clearly knows a great deal. When she spoke to me, her tone made it sound as though we knew each other, but I don't remember her. The power of time may be involved."
