When she opened her eyes again, she was still in the hospital basement. She saw a golden light streak across the room like a shooting star, crashing down on the mirror.

During this process, countless dark figures began to surround and intercept that figure.

The boundary between the two worlds has become blurred.

The golden light managed to break through the encirclement, and then the mirror began to collapse.

The shadowy figures that were wrapped around her were forced to retreat by an invisible force.

Beneath the mirror, He, a step behind, roars.

"Thief!"

With that roar, the meteor shot into Qin Tan's body.

At that moment, Qin Tan's head felt as if it had been struck by a heavy blow.

She covered her head and realized that everything around her was breaking.

There was no trace of a body, and the cultists had vanished.

"Qin Tan, Qin Tan..."

The distant shouts gradually calmed Qin Tan's mind.

She squinted and looked over. Under the basement lights, Qin Tan saw the faces of Lin Zhisui and the others.

Ye Jingjing was supporting her.

A warm white light enveloped Qin Tan's body, attempting to heal him.

"Qin Tan, where are you hurt?"

She heard Ye Jingjing's voice clearly, and with the other's help, Qin Tan stood up and shook her head.

"I'm not hurt."

Looking around, there were no shooting stars or shadows to be seen.

Qin Tan forced a smile at Ye Jingjing.

"But your complexion..."

Ye Jingjing hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't. If Qin Tan were given a mirror, she would see her own face as white as paper.

The lips, which should have been rosy, were completely devoid of color.

“I was just thinking about what happened here back then.”

"Just take a rest."

Qin Tan took a deep breath to calm herself down.

She avoided their gazes, her eyes unfocused on her own shadow.

She lied.

She's not without her problems.

Her mind was now a jumbled mess, like a 1-cubic-meter box suddenly filled with 2-cubic-meter objects.

The swelling and pain are unbearable, and it feels like it could explode at any moment.

But a voice inside her was telling her that her brain capacity was more than 2 cubic meters.

There are many more memories she hasn't been able to retrieve.

She tried to sort out those memories.

The scene of the car accident was at the center of that abyss invasion. Although I didn't die, my soul was swept away by the abyss energy and left my body.

This is why the outside world believed she had been in a coma for a year.

And the place her soul ultimately went was the true abyss.

In her existing memory, Qin Tan could not describe exactly what kind of place it was.

There was no light; darkness was ever-present.

The purpose of all living beings is to provide energy for the Lord of the Abyss.

The dark figures she had just seen, those that devoured human bodies to gain energy, were nothing more than food for the Lord of the Abyss.

He is the supreme being in the abyss.

All the strange things in the abyss must obey His command.

Qin Tan had also discovered some of the strange things that humans encounter today in the abyss.

But these are just the tip of the iceberg in the abyss.

She seems to have been to the deeper parts of the abyss.

That part of her memory hasn't returned yet, and she has no way of knowing the specifics.

The most valuable part of this existing memory is that it helped Qin Tan confirm a hypothesis.

Long ago, the Abyss was a world just like Earth.

Later, for reasons unknown, pollution appeared inside the abyss planet, infecting all species and turning them into monsters.

The planet is dead.

The Lord of the Abyss was born from the distorted will of the planet.

He became the ruler of all the strange things.

Then, dragging the entire abyss, He began His invasion of the rest of the worlds.

Blue Star is not the first.

In that endless abyss, Qin Tan discovered traces of numerous civilizations.

Even those beings called the bizarre are nothing more than the remnants of civilizations existing in the abyss.

They are "human beings".

A "human" who has lost his will and his body, leaving only a soul twisted by the abyss.

Their purpose is to become the minions of the abyss, constantly pushing it to erode the rest of the world.

However, now it is Blue Star that has been chosen by the Abyss.

The entire erosion process takes a certain amount of time.

Qin Tan roughly estimated that the fusion of the two worlds was now about halfway complete.

It's still possible to say that Earth and the Abyss are in a state of struggle.

However, as the abyss continues to erode the planet, Blue Star will be at a disadvantage, and at that time, even more powerful and bizarre creatures will descend upon Blue Star.

As for the Lord of the Abyss, that Him.

Once the abyss has completely finished its erosion, it will descend upon Earth as a true god, dragging the entire planet into the abyss's embrace and making it a part of it.

This truth is far too heavy to bear.

She needs to sort things out.

Her limited memories suggest that the dangers she encountered upon entering the abyss were unimaginable.

Escape, survival.

That is the main theme of this memory.

Various eerie images flashed through her memory. Those strange yet familiar memories brought Qin Tan not only the truth but also even greater pressure.

And...pollution.

If it were an ordinary person, getting so close to the energy of the abyss would definitely cause them to undergo a strange change.

But Qin Tan didn't.

Her body easily absorbed the abyssal energy, as if the two were inseparable.

This is not a good thing.

Qin Tan dragged his feet and walked up with the others.

"How is the situation now?"

She asked Lin Zhisui, her condition having improved considerably.
