When Jiu Yue went against the current.
Outside the Linyuan Realm, the river of time surged endlessly.
Two indescribable figures stood amid the tides of the time river, their faces blurred, only their robes revealing their humanoid life form.
They had stood there for billions of years, silent like ancient sculptures, as if waiting for something.
Suddenly—
The time river violently churned, an unprecedented ripple spread from the heart of the river, the Primordial Gemstone turned into nothingness, even the trace of its existence erased.
And in the fractured temporal rift, a vague figure slowly emerged, like a ghost breaking free from the abyss, descending beside the figures.
"No. 7, welcome back."
One of the blurred figures slightly tilted their head, looking at No. 7 who had broken free from the time river, their voice seemed to come from countless overlapping spaces and times simultaneously.
"No. 3, it's been a long wait."
No. 7 relished the long-lost freedom.
