"No… don't… be scared." Xu Lan was aware that a violent surge was on the brink of making its assault. Even the void was starting to tremble.
He did not know where that force came from. In what seemed like the last glimmer of life's light, he pulled Bai Wu into his arms.
"Don't be scared. Don't be scared. Papa's here…" Midway through the sentence, Xu Lan fainted, but his arms hugged Bai Wu tightly till the very end.
Despite Bai Wu's assistance, Xu Lan was still unable to withstand the pressure brought on by the void.
Then came a loud rumble, and the entirety of the void's composite force collided together, creating a monstrous impact. Bai Wu opened his eyes, and apart from the darkly-scorched Xu Lan, everything around him was an endless brightness that extended seemingly everywhere.
"Papa!" Bai Wu let out a shout and subsequently fainted.
