Lilith's staff, glinting with a chilling light like the fangs of a venomous snake, pierced deeply into Mu Yun's chest.
In that moment, time seemed to freeze, and the air was thick with a strong metallic scent that made it hard to breathe.
Mu Yun's pupils dilated in disbelief as he looked down at the staff protruding from his chest. A trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth, the bright red droplets stark against his pale skin.
At the same time, the Wu Wen on his chest erupted with blinding light, as if it had been activated like a circuit board.
This light was not the ordinary gold or white; it bore an eerie bluish hue, reminiscent of ghostly flames from the underworld, sending chills down one's spine.
"Reverse invasion using the Starry Marriage Contract! The Three Lifetimes of Memories of the priestess is..." Mu Yun strained to shout these words, each syllable seemingly squeezed out of him with his last breath.
However, before he could finish, his voice abruptly cut off, and his body slumped helplessly to the ground.
The staff had pierced through his heart, and blood gushed forth like a fountain, staining the ground and also coloring Xiao Meng's eyes red.
She stood there in shock, her mind blank, as if the entire world had collapsed in that instant.
"Mu Yun! No!!!" Xiao Meng's heart-wrenching cry echoed through the space, filled with endless sorrow and despair.
She rushed to Mu Yun's side, tightly embracing his gradually cooling body as tears streamed down her face like pearls spilled from a broken string.
At that moment, something strange happened.
Xiao Meng realized that her usual chattiness had vanished completely.
She no longer spoke with her characteristic "ya" interjections; instead, she fell into an unusual silence, as if she had lost her ability to speak altogether.
Meanwhile, the Time Sandglass began to change as well.
The fine sand at the bottom of the hourglass started to swirl as if drawn by some unseen force, forming a small vortex.
At the center of this vortex, an image gradually emerged—a "Escape Route Map" sketched with childish strokes, with crooked letters marking its corners: "To my future fiancée."
Xiao Meng recognized it at once; this was a piece drawn by Sunshine during their time at training camp.
She had once accidentally seen Sunshine's sketchbook filled with imaginative doodles, and this "Escape Route Map" was one of them.
"This is... what Sunshine left for me?" Xiao Meng murmured to herself, filled with confusion and uncertainty.
Why would Sunshine leave this drawing? Did he know she would be in danger?
A thought suddenly flashed through her mind: Could it be that Sunshine had foreseen everything?
As she carefully examined the drawing, she noticed some strange symbols marked on it—symbols she had never seen before but somehow felt familiar.
“Those symbols... could it be...” Xiao Meng's pupils suddenly dilated, a vague premonition surging within her.
At that moment, a violent tremor erupted from the Time-Space Rift, as if something was about to break free.
Gears spun wildly, emitting a piercing grinding sound, and the entire space began to shake violently.
“It’s coming!” A deep voice emerged from the Time-Space Rift, laced with an unmistakable excitement.
Xiao Meng abruptly lifted her head, gazing toward the Time-Space Rift.
“Who is it?” she whispered, her voice trembling slightly.
The light from the Time-Space Rift grew increasingly intense, and a massive figure gradually materialized...
“Long time no see, little princess.”
