In the darkness.
A Card was raised.
"Light, cleanse all."
Xu Xingke intoned the words.
The Card turned into brilliant light that swept in every direction.
Wherever the light passed, all dust and stains vanished, accompanied even by several faint screams.
Only when the entire room was spotless and gleaming-
did the light converge again from every direction, settling on the ceiling and forming a lotus of light that illuminated their surroundings.
The three looked around.
The place appeared to cover several hundred square meters.
Every wall was covered in clocks of varying sizes, their hands ticking away with clicks and clacks.
Xu Xingke clapped his hands.
All sound instantly vanished.
"It really is a Rest Room," Xu Xingke said.
"Teacher, do you know about these clocks?" Shen Ye asked.
"In each layer of the universe, the current time in the central city of the most powerful civilization's planet forms a clock, serving as that civilization's temporal marker in the universe."
"These clocks hang in the Rest Room so everyone can keep track of the time," Xu Xingke said.
"A bit like a hotel reception desk," Nangong Sirui said.
Xu Xingke walked up to a wall and pointed at a black clock.
Shen Ye and Nangong Sirui leaned closer to look and saw a line of small lettering engraved beneath it:
"Unfixed Layer, Death Planet, Yujing City."
The clock currently showed eleven fifty-six.
Then.
Shen Ye's phone alarm rang.
Eleven fifty-seven.
"It really is our time." Shen Ye found it quite interesting.
Following Xu Xingke's earlier clap, a massive Magic Array engraved with Runes slowly emerged on the floor.
The Magic Array gradually lit up, releasing gentle power.
"The power of the Dharma Realm's laws is more abundant in a higher universe. I suggest you both cultivate here."
Xu Xingke
