In the dark, lightless void, a great entity composed of blood and flesh opened its indescribable, crimson eyes and quietly gazed at Xue Jing.
In that instant, Xue Jing stopped thinking.
In the Superstring dimension, where the concept of time does not exist, Xue Jing was not aware of how long he had been there or what had happened.
He only knew that in the next moment he felt, a notification sounded in his consciousness.
"[&#...%... Divine Absorption complete]"
Coming to, Xue Jing found himself back from the dark, lightless void, still in a world made of steel and metal, under a lead-colored sky where the Sky Cone was slowly but firmly descending toward his student.
In his mind, the impression of the great entity he had just seen was extremely vague, with only the image of the crimson eye relatively clear.
"..." Shaking his head, Xue Jing steadied himself.
"Was that... was that a necessary step during the activation of 'True Red,' or was it an accident?"
He looked thoughtful.
