Sensing the dim, unfamiliar environment, Ye Fan whispered sharply, "Where is this?"
"This is a dreamscape I have created, young man. Surprising, isn't it?" a deep, muffled voice sounded. It was unmistakably the voice of the Cain Ancestor.
Ye Fan was stunned. To say he was surprised was an understatement. To think he would appear in a dream… it was almost unbelievable.
"Do not be afraid. I will not harm you," Cain said.
"Are you the Cain Ancestor?" Ye Fan asked, puzzled.
"Yes, I am Cain," the voice replied gravely.
"Why am I here?" Ye Fan asked at once.
"This is your dream, but you are too weak to sustain this world within it," Cain explained. "Therefore, my dream is hosting us instead. We are speaking within my dream."
"I chose to save you precisely because of Heather," he continued. "However, my help comes with a condition."
"What condition?" Ye Fan asked.
