After Guiche defeated the Futu Sect’s forces, a mysterious being called the Observer of Time and Space seized Mobius’s avatar and promised to return within five years to fight Chen Zheng. Chen Zheng then identified the aura of another figure, who may be a Golden Crow, as the group continued investigating the Doro Demon Realm.
