Aksai slowly withdrew his gaze from the dark surface of the Void Water Pond.
For now, he decided not to think too deeply about how the Gu Poison King had obtained something this terrifying. There was no point wasting time guessing when he already possessed Arkaal's intact soul.
Once Arkaal was revived as a woodland fiend later, Aksai would eventually gain access to many of the old man's memories and knowledge. Naturally, that would include the secrets related to this place. This was no time or space to think about those questions.
"Haah… one problem at a time," Aksai muttered softly.
His eyes slowly moved across the dark pond again.
The Void Water remained completely still. Not a single ripple existed on its surface. It looked like a patch of endless night trapped inside the raised void stone platform.
The surrounding space felt strangely quiet here.
Even the sounds from the gu insect farm below seemed distant now.
Aksai narrowed his eyes slightly.
