Western Region, Great Desert.
Across the vast expanse of the desert, the scorching sun leaves traces of human shadows as they hurriedly pass by, a series of swift footprints.
"No—"
The echo of pain, once played atop the desert, soon disperses with the wind.
The source of the sound remains the figure of the hurried solitary traveler in the desert, an ordinary man donned in a star-patterned robe.
His appearance lacks specific features, but the bronze mirror in his hand is quite distinctive.
The bronze mirror reflects precisely the imagery of the Returning Consciousness Tomb in the Southern Region.
"Ruined."
Not knowing what he heard or thought of.
The man in the star-patterned robe puts away the bronze mirror, no longer watching, and steps forward more determinedly.
His speed is extraordinary.
Without deploying any spiritual techniques, the desert shrinks beneath his feet, and faintly from afar, starlight descends.
The man quickly traverses the desert.
