Above Chi Xingye, the oval glass dome, dozens of meters high, slowly opened like a cabin hatch, the glaring light faded, leaving only a night rich with stars, enveloping the entire underground palace.
Chi Xingye, half-conscious and half-awake, seemed to realize something.
She slowly opened her eyes and lifted her head to see a huge round moon directly above her, as if it were close enough to touch.
Her heart trembled.
The time for the blood sacrifice had come, hadn't it...
Tears fell from Chi Xingye's eyes.
To die like this—she couldn't help feeling regret and sorrow...
She had let down their world, failed to live up to the great hopes placed on her, and not only had she failed to safely bring back the Red Sun Ring, but its activation due to the blood sacrifice meant their world would soon perish... She would be a sinner!
