Opening his eyes slowly, Hao Ren found himself in unfamiliar territory.
He remembered what had just happened. He remembered his battle with the gigantic brain. He also remembered why he was seeing this vision—he knew for certain that it was just an illusion, and the source of the illusion was the gigantic brain.
He saw an ocean—crimson in colour, vast, and endless. There were no mountains, no land, no islands. Everywhere he turned he saw a blood-red ocean, undulating under the sky. The sky, which used to be pale and cloudy was dyed red. Hao Ren looked down at his feet, and still all he saw was the ocean... No, that was not actually where he stood, because he could not see his own feet. It was as if his eyes were all that was left of him. He had no idea what perspective he was viewing all of this from, because he could not even see his own shadow on the surface of the ocean.
