This forced dispatch left the Sunrise Gate thoroughly emptied, from top to bottom.
The faction's station was deserted, with only Li Xu arriving at the mountaintop.
From this vantage point, he noticed that not just the Sunrise Gate, but the entire Main God Space was eerily quiet. Under the distant system light pillar, the market that used to be bustling had fallen into dead silence, devoid of any human presence.
Approaching the altar at the very center of the market square made the solitude even more palpable.
It seemed as if Li Xu was the only person in such a vast space.
