Hu Qi found himself in a vast, boundless space.
Beneath his feet was soft, black earth, tinged with a hint of moisture.
All around him was a star-filled sky, as black as ink. It was vast and profound, like an endless bolt of black silk.
Amidst the darkness, a few faint points of light occasionally flickered and danced.
Not far away, a massive, deep-blue planet rotated slowly. Its familiar silhouette and color clearly identified it as Ocean Star.
It was as if he were standing on a celestial body without an atmosphere.
However, Hu Qi knew he hadn't traveled through space to arrive in the cosmos.
He was inside some kind of pocket dimension.
At that moment, his gaze was fixed straight ahead.
There, seated atop a massive boulder, was a figure.
The figure was pitch-black, as if cloaked in endless darkness, its features completely obscured. It was as if the figure itself was the personification of shadow.
