That night, Ren Kai activated his senses again. His lumen-white eyes glowed faintly, and the world shifted into layers:
• physical
• spiritual
• astral
• dimensional
He saw creatures walking between the layers—beings invisible to normal eyes. Some watched him from afar, terrified. Others approached with cautious curiosity.
But one entity… hovered above the sky.
A massive winged shadow, observing him like a predator sizing up prey.
Ren Kai opened his small hand.
The shadow immediately retreated.
Even the higher beings know.
This world is weaker than I thought.
