“Miss Ling Yan, are you hurt anywhere? Do you need me to take a look for you?” Elder Sky sighed and asked.

  Ling Yan shook her head, the childish voice landing with force: “Mother suffered so much in her life, how can I be weak when I’m Mother’s daughter?”


  Her sight never once left the flattened ruins when saying this. She’s proud like Bai Yan, that’s why she won’t allow herself to be treated as a weakling even in spirit.

  “Then we……” Ji Sky wanted to ask if she’s willing to go back with him then, but his words never made it out of those lips before the child formed a smirk.

  “I’m going to wait for Mother, and if she doesn’t come out then I won’t go.”


  She believes that her mother would always come back.

  If she came out and didn’t see her right away, Di Ling Yan was certain Bai Yan would be very worried.

  Seeing this, Ji Sky no longer said more about the topic. Sitting down right next to the child, his voice was loving and doting: “In that case I will stay here with you, we will both wait for them to come out.”
……

  On a vast stretch of grassland, Bai Yan weakly leans in with her back against a tree to rest, her red dress sticky and filthy from the bloody sweat incurred by the battle.

  “What just happened?” she asks her father that’s standing to one side.

  Just now after they dealt with the new wave of monsters, she felt a sudden sinking feeling from nowhere. At first the demon queen got very worried, but that sensation only lasted for a brief second before disappearing.

  “I don’t know.” Heavenly responds, his face equally as grim despite the mighty and heroic contour.

  Narrowing in her eyes, Bai Yan wipes some of the sweat from the forehead and got up to cautiously scan the world around themselves.

  They’ve been here for quite some time already. Despite knowing the time was warped compare to the outside world, it doesn’t change the fact that she’s starting to get very worried. What’s more, they’ve still yet to figure out an exit for this place. And then there’s her mother Bai Ning and her daughter Di Ling Yan waiting on the outside……

  “Father, we’ve been here for some time now, if this continues then Mother will definitely begin to worry for us. I believe some drastic measures must be taken if we are to ever leave this place.”


  Heavenly made quite the bitter smile, fully understanding what his daughter was implying. “You’ve seen it for yourself, there are no exits in sight. The area will also change and manipulate our sense of direction if we move. What’s your plan though?”


  “I felt a sinking sensation earlier during the end of the wave,” Bai Yan’s sight converged upon the supposed sky above their heads, “what’s your thought about me breaking apart this sky?”


  They couldn’t stay here any longer. These monsters are growing increasingly more powerful to the point where they too are feeling the strain. Perhaps the next wave would be too much for them resist anymore……

  “Breaking the sky?” Heavenly appears startled by the idea.

  Although he does not know how long the outside world had passed, but the guy knew enough that they’ve been in this ruin for years already based on the number of waves they fought thus far. And during this entire period, his thoughts were always on the ground, the floor, never once did he thought about breaking apart the sky and going that route. Would it work?
