This time, the light was far more dazzling than during the previous reassembly. It was as if countless cubes were forming at once, their radiance converging into an incomparably brilliant beam. The beam reflected between every metal surface, instantly "illuminating" the entire world.
Mo Ling's vision blurred. Images of countless cubes fitting together flashed through his mind. When he came back to his senses, a new Building Block World had already formed. Li Luo still stood not far from him, but her eyes had once again filled with silvery-white light, divine radiance lingering around her body.

The seawater gently lapped against the cube-built shore. Foam brushed over the smooth metal surfaces of the cubes, and reflected light fell upon the thin layer of seawater, refracting into glittering specks like shattered diamonds.
Li Luo seemed to have assembled the reappearing cubes into an island. They were now standing at the island's edge, seawater washing against the shores of the cube island. Everything looked so "peaceful and serene."

"This... is that sea!"
Bitterness filled Mo Ling's mouth. It was a conditioned reflex etched into his memories.
Simply sensing this sea made that unforgettable bitter taste
