"No, wait a moment, just for a moment..."
Huai Shi subconsciously reached out, trying to grasp something, but was then cruelly yanked away as if by invisible ropes. In an instant, he whisked past bustling streets and surging crowds, returning from amidst countless steel forests.
CRACK!
A crisp sound echoed.
In the cellar, the wooden husk suddenly cracked, a fissure appearing. A frustrated shout could be faintly heard from within.
Feeling heavy constraints, Huai Shi unconsciously struggled.
In that moment, he finally felt himself.
At the same time, the vast network of roots spread beneath the nine lands suddenly tremored, drawing an insignificant portion from the Sea of Life, a convergence of countless plants.
Thus, Huai Shi returned from the void.
