Emperor E Tian gradually awoke from his disoriented state.
Suddenly, his distorted human silhouette started to become clearer, and even his face gained some semblance of contour.
He looked at Lanling for quite a while and said, "How long has it been?"
Lanling replied, "It has been exactly twenty-nine thousand years since you disappeared."
"Twenty-nine thousand years, twenty-nine thousand years..." Emperor E Tian's voice seemed very emotional, but he soon calmed down.
Then he moved closer to Lanling, as if trying to see his face clearly.
This place is like a world of impressionist paintings; faces are inherently indistinct. But after spending enough time here, one naturally fills in the blanks.
"Your name is Lanling?" Emperor E Tian asked.
"Yes, Your Majesty," Lanling replied.
Emperor E Tian said, "No, now you are my Majesty."
Then Emperor E Tian asked, "Has the Sky Holy Palace been destroyed?"
Lanling replied, "Yes, it has been destroyed."
