Dream Ring's expression shifted slightly. Watching as the giant ape's stone pillar came crashing down, facing a life-and-death crisis, she closed her eyes.
The stone pillar froze midair, a powerful gust sweeping past her face.
Dream Ring opened her eyes, only to see a stooped, diminutive old man in white robes standing before her, curiously sizing her up; then, he reached to her waist and pulled down a token.
"Heavenly Battle, Star 10086... Sky Battle Token? Little girl, how did you come by this item?"
The old man's spirit communicated with Dream Ring.
Dream Ring was clever as ice and snow. Instinctively, she sensed this old man might actually be the giant turtle, and her survival hung on this one chance. She recounted the events from these years in the Human World, concise yet thorough.
After hearing her, the old man's expression was complicated. With his Realm, it was easy for him to see she was not lying.
"The Divine Court has fallen? What year is it now?"
