"Did it fail again?" Yu Xuan asked calmly, glancing toward the shattered remnants of space stones scattered across the ground.
Yu Bo nodded, his expression heavy.
"Yes. There's some unknown force interfering with the formation. Every time I stabilize the final node, space collapses inward. I can't anchor the return gate at all."
A few more cracked stones lay nearby, evidence of repeated attempts.
At this point, failure was no longer surprising.
Their main objective had always been simple: establishing a return gate.
After regrouping with Ming Tianmei, they had spent nearly an entire day attempting to establish the return gate.
Even when Yu Bo used his personal space stones, lower in grade than those provided by Bing Xin, but the result was the same.
Total rejection.
"So there's really no other choice," Yu Xuan muttered, his gaze drifting toward the crimson horizon.
At least summoning still worked normally.
