Emperor Sui sat cross-legged in the void, surrounded by this infinite cluster of gray matter. His presence seemed to be suppressing the void, preventing a chaotic power from entering. The previous spears embedded in his body remained, along with the hole in his chest, but his expression was rosier than before.
He opened his eyes. "You're finally back."
"I am," Wu Hong said, nodding. "How is the situation?"
"Everything has been set up, and the timeline can operate at a basic level, except for the outer spatial membrane," Emperor Sui replied. "Space and Time Dao is not really my specialty, and without the others' help, I'm at my wit's end. Luckily, that little Qilin is giving me some help."
Wu Hong nodded. "How is the situation in the court? Any casualties?"
"The war casualties were only at a lower level. However, after I separated the timeline, the worlds near the edge were swallowed by the chaotic temporospatial energy from the Boundless Realm. I couldn't save them in time."
