It must have been an extremely beautiful sight, but unfortunately I can't see it with my own eyes right now. It's a bit of a disappointment, but not a regret.
Of course, with the otherworldly realm above constantly crumbling into dust as a contrast, the difference between the radiant darkness that obscures the light and the void where nothing exists becomes apparent.
If the shattered realm is like a raw egg that has been smashed, its shell incredibly thin, with the colors and radiance within leaking out as the shell is mercilessly crushed, shimmering and then quickly assimilated into the colors of nothingness, then our world is like a hard-boiled egg with a transparent protective film on its exterior. This transparent film isolates the interior from the nothingness of the outside world, protecting its contents from easily leaking out.
However, I soon noticed something.
Not far away, a tiny hole appeared on this transparent protective film, and it was even continuing to grow!
The deep, dark colors, like a pack of beasts catching the scent of food, swarmed forward, tearing and devouring, trying to widen the gap in the protective membrane that was wriggling and trying to repair itself, so as to savor the long-awaited delicacy. This situation seemed to have been deadlocked for a long time, with both sides exhibiting a stalemate of back-and-forth.
However, after a long period of time, all of this will eventually come to an end.
Where will the delicate balance between the two go at that time?
That chilling answer vaguely surfaced in my mind for a second, but was quickly exhaled along with the stuffy breath I exhaled as I floated up.

Fortunately, my overall magical power was still higher, so I didn't end up like the Calabash Brothers trying to save their grandfather but failing and instead getting myself dragged down with them.
However, seeing that Shen Xue's clothes and long hair were soaked with sweat, her legs were weak, and her breathing was rapid, it was clear that she had lost most of her mobility.
Indeed, when I think back to the first time I was led by my mentor into the void, I was probably in a similarly wretched state.
But that was a long time ago.
Shaking my head, I first settled Shenxue by a nearby tree, letting her lie down against it. After she drank a few sips of water to catch her breath, I set up a circle of concealment and illusion spells around her to prevent her from being attacked by any monsters that might happen to come while I was away. Then I knocked on a few magic stones, opened the door, and hurried off to deliver a message.
Important things must be done first.
