The Starry Sky Coffin seemed to have completed its final mission. The coffin lid let out a low, thunderous roar, as if pushed by an invisible hand, and with the same smooth fluidity as when it opened—yet even more urgent—it slammed shut with a boom, sealing perfectly tight!
Immediately afterward, the entire coffin erupted with one last burst of incomparably dazzling starlight, then, as though it had fulfilled the meaning of its existence, it dissolved into countless gorgeous motes of starlight drifting across the sky, like a swarm of fireflies on a summer night, slowly fading away before Gu Sheng's eyes, ultimately returning to nothingness, as if it had never appeared.
The whole process was unbelievably fast; from the moment Gu Sheng obtained the Compass to the coffin's dispersal, it took no more than two or three breaths.
