Xiang Yu, Li Yao, and the Empress sat around a circular table.
The World Core had nestled itself atop the human Empress's head, playfully twirling her hair. It kept stealing glances at Xiang Yu, quickly averting its gaze whenever he looked in its direction. It even started whistling innocently, pretending it hadn't been staring.
Xiang Yu simply shook his head at this.
The Empress thought to herself that the World seemed aware of her existence. This didn't really surprise her, the World always knew everyone within it, no matter how they tried to conceal themselves.
This wasn't actually a special power of the World but rather an inherited trait from the Heavenly Dao, the source of all worlds. Or at least the naturally occurring ones.
She shifted her gaze toward Xiang Yu. The World appeared completely unaware of Xiang Yu's existence. From its earlier reactions, she could confirm that this little guy had never encountered Xiang Yu before. She found this quite strange.
