The swirling snowstorm and darkness gradually receded, stretching along the barren highland tundra.
In the distance, the mountains dissolved into hills, hills into basins, basins into plains, and then the abrupt edge of the world appeared.
Lu Li saw the end of the land appear as a straight gorge, a lit cigar resting in an ashtray resembling a mountain, with swirling clouds dispersing, revealing a suspended chandelier hanging over the world.
At this moment, a thick arm stretched from the other side of the invisible Spine of the World Mountains, grasping the rope hanging from the chandelier, gently tugging.
Click—
The lights dimmed and went out, and the world below was shrouded in darkness.
Only a ring remained hanging under the column opposite the chandelier.
Dark shadows swept around the world, then the creaking sound of a door opening echoed, with a beam of light piercing through the open doorway, revealing a broad back.
Bang.
