Within the Endless Territories.
A dimensional gateway was suddenly torn open in the empty void next to an enormous, blazing star. A white-robed youth and a silver-robed man stepped out from within it.
"We're back! Haha, we're back in the Endless Territories." Ninedust laughed jubilantly, "We travelled through the Great Dark for so long without seeing any other living creatures at all. We didn't even see any stars or chaosworlds. That sense of loneliness was truly stifling and oppressing. I can't help but shiver when I think about how those Eternal Emperors choose to spend a million years traversing the Great Dark enroute to another realmverse."
"Once we succeed in our Daomerges and gain eternal life, perhaps we might come to the same decision." Ji Ning smiled.
