"Because of me," Ning Yue said softly, placing a hand over her heart. "I am the key, Big Brother Yun. Not a physical key, but a spiritual one. I was born from this place, from the Creator's soul and the World Tree."
"My connection to it is fundamental, intrinsic. When Nian Shi suppressed you, when he believed he had erased you, the last spark of your consciousness, your unwavering will to fight, cried out. And I heard it."
Her eyes glowed with a soft light. "I am the only one who can feel the true Land of Nowhere's presence within the shell. I am the only one who can bridge the gap between the facade and the reality."
"Your spirit, though bound, is still connected to this land through the Beyond Heaven King's Crown and your Profound Vein. I used my connection to create a... a reflection, a spiritual sanctuary within the true Land of Nowhere, and I pulled the core of your awareness into it."
