"Kekek…The Sithians are really getting restless." In an unknown place shrouded in darkness, a voice filled with madness resounded. It was difficult to guess whether it belonged to a man or a woman.
"Hehehe…the Blackthorn Empire is going to suffer greatly this ti," a woman spoke in a joking voice.
"Hahaha! When have they not…tch, trash, can't even defend the frontiers properly," another one spoke while laughing disdainfully.
"Tch! They are nothing but clowns. Let them jump; we have an even bigger problem at hand," this ti a confident voice of a man echoed in the darkness. The confident man stopped for a mont so that everyone's attention was on him, and then he spoke in a low voice.
"Our earlier estimates were wrong. The Darkness might arrive early." This ti his voice, although still filled with confidence, sounded a little solemn. If anyone from the Rising Sun Empire were here, they might have been able to identify the man behind the voice. Unfortunately, there was no one here.
"Didn't you say we have a couple of years to spare?" soone spoke in disbelief.
"No way."
"But we still have no clue about the next realm."
Various voices filled with frustration and shock echoed in the darkness.
"Silence!"
"Panicking is not going to change anything," a voice filled with majesty echoed, silencing everyone in the darkness.
"Open all the newly found dinsion gates to everyone. We need to quickly find a way to break through to the next realm."
The discussion, which was going to decide the future of the Human Domain, continued in the darkness.
anwhile, on the third floor of Green Li Inn.
Ruby sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, dressed in a black one-piece dress. Her chest heaved up and down as she ditated.
Suddenly, an unpleasant expression appeared on her face as if she was having a nightmare.
"Argh! Senior sister, save , please. I don't want to die."
Scenes filled with utter bloodshed and violence flashed through her head.
Broken limbs of the people she loved dearly, their faces filled with despair and a tinge of hope as they gazed at her.
Ruby shook her head to clear her mind, but the scenes continued to play, becoming even more bloody.
In the next instant.
An extrely beautiful mature woman's face appeared in her head. The woman was missing her limbs, and she looked at Mary with eyes filled with motherly love, she lovingly said, "Go, my child! Our bloodline can't die."
"Mother," Ruby unconsciously muttered, her heart feeling heavy as if soone had placed a huge boulder on it.
Ruby had forgotten how much ti had passed, but she could still feel the despair of her people as they were brutally killed.
Although painful, Ruby didn't want to forget these mories. The pain was like fuel that pushed her to go beyond her limits every day.
She gritted her teeth and continued to ditate.

"I will have to extend my stay again," David muttered while frowning. He had to act cautiously and find out what was the reason behind the strange feeling.
After thinking for a mont, he decided to go outside and gather information.
It couldn't be that he alone felt such a change; other people must have felt sothing as well.
While thinking, he headed out of his room, dressed in a white coat to match the natives' aesthetics and not stand out.
He also didn't plan on taking anyone else with him to avoid attracting attention.
David slowly walked through the streets of… ahem! He didn't know the na of the place.
Anyways, it was a small settlent situated at the borders of the Rising Sun Empire, but even then, the streets were wide and clean.
All the people he saw had content smiles on their faces. He was not able to find a single beggar on the street.
While marveling at the sight, David arrived near the market situated just beside the wall.
The market mainly targeted those who had just co into the empire or were leaving it, as most of the items sold in the stalls and shops were showpieces.
He barely saw anything of value.
"Cheaper than before, buy the red magma flower only for 20 spirit stones," a stall seller suddenly shouted loudly in order to attract David's attention.
David appeared young and wealthy as he was dressed in a white coat made of high-quality material.
Experienced rchants and shopkeepers were able to identify the expensive fabric.
As a result, the stall owner shouted, thinking David was a rich young man loaded with money. He might be able to earn a little extra.
David turned his head in the direction of the stall owner curiously.
After realizing that he had successfully grabbed David's attention, the stall owner rushed towards him and showed him a red fiery flower.
"Gentleman, these are fresh flowers picked from the volcano this morning. They can increase your physical strength by a huge margin," the stall seller said in an enticing voice, taking David to be at the Body Refining Realm.
David could instantly tell what the stall owner's intentions were, but he didn't care. Now that soone had approached him, he was going to milk all the information out of this guy.
"Sure, give five flowers," David nonchalantly said and threw a bag filled with spirit stones in his direction.
The stall owner hurriedly caught the bag and started counting. After confirming the amount, he smiled and started to pack David's flowers.
"Hey! Shopkeeper, have there been any rumors going around about the weird feeling…"
While the stall owner was packing the flowers, David asked in a low voice.
After hearing David's words, the shopkeeper stopped for a mont, and a puzzled expression appeared on his face, not understanding what David was talking about.
Seeing the stall owner's expression, David realized his mistake and reworded his question.
"I an, any strange occurrence that only happens in the morning," David asked, closely watching the stall owner's reaction.
"Ahh! Right."
"There is this one weird incident that happens every morning," the stall owner seed to rember sothing and spoke while looking at David.
