At this moment, Jiang Chengye, who was pinned to the crack, was holding a quiet, dormant female corpse in his arms. In the final moment, the female corpse embraced Jiang Chengye, attempting to use her body to buffer the terrifying blade light for him.
No one knows how much of a role this played, but at this point, Jiang Chengye did indeed still have a faint glimmer of hope.
