Liu Zhengan's journey as a spy for the Demon World ended in utter failure.
In fact, from the moment he learned that the "Space-Time Rift" opened earlier than expected, he began to slide from paradise straight into the Bottomless Abyss; when he saw the look in the eyes of Big S and Little S, he suddenly realized and completely sank into drowning despair.
What the three Witch Kings said to him afterward, he barely remembered when he thought back later.
He had been defeated by piercing self-blame, remorse, and hatred. In the face of an unyielding disaster, his little schemes were nothing more than laughable insignificance.
When he fully awoke from the endless chaos of thoughts, Liu Zhengan found himself lying in a luxurious, soft classical bed. Dim light filtered through gauzy curtains, casting a dreamy, orange glow upon the canopies, creating a haze that was both alluring and ambiguous.
The time was unknown, and so was the place.
