The Forsaken Emperor did not try to resist, since he sensed that this would not help at all. He had entered the lion's den and now, he was at their mercy. The world around him changed rapidly and soon, he found himself standing at the bottom of a ravine. He looked up and at the top, a lioness sat in her true form. She radiated majesty and endless power. She was the epitome of pride and grace. Her golden eyes gave off a calm light that seemed to be able to pass through all things, allowing her to comprehend heaven, earth, and hell.
The lioness just looked down at the emperor without saying a single word, and yet the emperor understood what had to be done next. The Forsaken Emperor explained that he needed to find the Continuum Beast who had taken something of his. He did not tell the lioness about the Heavenly Serpent, since this was a secret that could affect the fate of all his people.
