Wei Yuan's Sea of Consciousness was seething; the dark energy that had accumulated over the years dissipated, strand by strand, neutralizing the malice from the world.
Yes, malice.
It was as if the entire Liao Domain had started to awaken, staring at this overconfident insect with eyes filled with hate, using more and more force to stop him, to strike him, to annihilate him.
Wei Yuan did not know how long he had been running, but at this moment there was no more light on the path ahead! The yellow qi of the Liao Domain had formed a storm, thoroughly extinguishing the last of Fang Hetong's Spiritual Fire.
In the Sea of Consciousness, the Jade Toad emerged, its eyes turning to pure black. No, not black but nothingness, a void that could swallow everything, including darkness.
Little by little, light began to appear again on the path ahead.
Wei Yuan had a sudden enlightenment— the light he saw was not truly there but was from a moment before it had gone out.
