Yet Cheng Yu still failed to find any useful expression on the Beautiful General's face.
He was not disappointed, though. Finding nothing was preferable; he had no desire to create unnecessary work for himself. With that thought, Cheng Yu withdrew his gaze and looked toward the passage's exit. For a moment, he was lost in a daze.
He had long known there was a reason these giants held sway over the entire Small Heavens, but now that he saw their temporary headquarters, Cheng Yu still had to marvel. A giant truly deserved the name.
Beyond the passage's opening lay a stellar system. No, rather, he could still make out what had once been a stellar system.
Stars radiating light and heat was held aloft by crystalline tree roots at the center of an enormous palace built from gold and crystal.
The dazzling energy of Stars was drawn by crystalline branches into the entire palace. With the vision afforded by his dual gold ranks, Cheng Yu examined every detail of the palace, which could only be called a work of art. The open-air palace resembled a semicircular platform, suspended motionless at the center of the former stellar system.
Every inch proclaimed splendor and extravagance. Almost the entire palace was made of crystal and gold, with exquisite gems inlaid throughout.
Above the palace floated a translucent eyeball of equal size, as though no lurking scoundrel could escape its scrutiny.
Soldiers in matching uniforms also stood guard throughout the palace. They stood tall, powerfully built, with an extraordinary bearing.
Of course, none of that was what surprised Cheng Yu. What did surprise him somewhat was that every one of those soldiers was silver rank.
From time to time, a pillar of light appeared out of nowhere on the platform before the palace gates.
