At least in this 43rd year of the new calendar, what she saw was an even more despairing darkness.
"We don't know."
This time, it was Xia Shuang who answered Qin Tan's question.
She took out Li Mingshu's identification and opened it.
The extraordinary ability covered the paper, and Qin Tan saw the intricate patterns gradually light up, with faint light and shadow gathering before his eyes.
