Mountain Blossom lifted his exhausted head and let out a cry-
"Meow!"
His paw pointed at that leaf, his eyes wide.
Qi Lingwu froze, too.
Then he smiled, his usually cold, stern features softening with tender affection.
"I get to see her again." He reached up and stroked Mountain Blossom's head.
The next moment, he stood, his gaze turning resolute. "Mountain Blossom, hold on."
Mountain Blossom gritted his teeth, his fur bristling as he kept his superpower active, holding the loophole open.
Qi Lingwu's [King's Anchor] enveloped that leaf, acting upon the time in which it existed...
Leaving an anchor point!
Sheng An felt it!
She raised her head, the smile on her lips growing more pronounced. With her outstretched hand, she controlled the enormous Time Hand, rapidly turning the clock's hands. This time, she had a destination.
The Southwest underwent a tremendous transformation!
The magma at Four Small Mountains flowed back;
Flames abruptly appeared on the surrounding mountains, but at the same time, stumps and dry wood reappeared across the barren forests, and the smell of burning gradually filled the air;
All the newly built bases vanished, replaced by shelters scattered across the Southwest;
The skeletons exposed by wind and frost filled out again, stood up, then continued moving backward;
The things that had vanished between the third month of doomsday and the third year of doomsday were being restored, bit by bit;
Within the river of time, the Southwest-
Returned to its proper course!
Jiang Yu gaped, clutching Hao Jingye's sleeve. The light ahead was blinding, making it hard to see, yet the changes around them were all too clear.
"Wh-what's happening?!" Li Xin was just as stunned.
He opened his eyes to get a better look, but the light surrounding Sheng An was too dazzling.
