When Mu You opened his eyes again, he was back in his room, still looking utterly baffled.
Seriously, they had only ended a meeting. Why had Taurus made it feel like a final farewell...
And what exactly was above the high heavens?
Enemies? Demons? Disasters?
Taurus had spoken so vaguely, but it did not seem like she was deliberately being cryptic. It seemed more like she genuinely could not say it.
What could be so terrifying that one dared not even mention it...
It reminded Mu You of the Silent Reading Room, which recorded many histories that had to be kept strictly secret. He had entered that reading room himself, so he knew it really did conceal many unknown secrets.
Perhaps he could find information about "above the high heavens" there too?
However, he only had a chance to enter that place on the night of the full moon each month. His last visit had been two weeks ago, so he would have to wait at least another half month.
While Mu You was thinking about the Library, a television broadcast from downstairs suddenly caught his attention.
"Breaking news: according to our frontline correspondent, Dawnbreak City rose in the Blue Rock Desert of the Star Spirit World ten minutes ago, at precisely six o'clock local time. Its City Lord is Solomon, a well-known player from the Middle East. Let us turn to the report from the scene..."
Mu You hurried downstairs to look.
Photographs and footage taken on location were already appearing on the television alongside the commentary.
It was a boundless desert, its shifting sands taking on a distinctive mixture of blue and yellow beneath the morning light. Whirlwinds continually swept up the sand, racing and spinning through the desert like plumes of blue smoke rising from the ground.
