Popota suddenly halted, looking ahead with a suspicious gaze, “What’s going on? Why do I have this inexplicable sense of danger approaching from ahead?”
Although Popota’s strength had been forcibly elevated, it had nonetheless reached a certain level where his sense of imminent danger was even sharper than Sander’s.
Based on the information left by the Master of Depths, there should have been absolutely no problems with this passage.
So where was this sense of danger coming from?
Just as Popota was puzzled, he noticed a vast area of Space Collapse appearing ahead of them, and this collapse was racing towards their location at a speed visible to the naked eye.
“How is this possible?!” Popota exclaimed, shocked, for the Space Collapse was almost of an annihilating level!
Any creature caught within it would be utterly disintegrated, even their soul reduced to nothing but dregs!
Moreover, this Space Collapse was directly in front of the passage!
Popota was startled, panic evident on his face. They were so close to restoring the glory of the Baiyuan Clan, so why was this happening?
As the Space Collapse was about to strike, Popota stood unmoving.
Angel called out loudly, “Popota, what are you doing? Either turn back or change course! Why are you just standing there?!”
Popota’s eyes were filled with confusion, and at this moment, he fell into bewilderment. This was a case where strength did not match one’s state of mind. Had any third-level True Knowledge Wizard or major demon been there, they would have reacted immediately, instead of being caught helpless in this situation.
Angel ground his teeth and shouted, “Have you forgotten about reigniting the Baiyuan Clan’s fire? And, have you forgotten about your sister, Hua Que? Don’t you want to see her?”
Hua Que? Popota suddenly faltered.
Hearing Angel’s cry, Popota’s gaze slowly cleared from its chaos, “Hua Que… has been gone for a long time… why do you mention her?”
Angel: “I’ve met Hua Que, I know where she is!”
“You’re lying to me,” Popota’s gaze was steady, just coldly watching Angel.
As Angel glanced back at the rapidly approaching Space Collapse, he quickly said, “I know on Hua Que’s ninth birthday, you gave her a painting, which she kept in a heart-shaped pendant, and that pendant is on me! I’m bound and can’t show it to you right now, but you should know that what I’m saying is true! So, make a decision quickly. As long as you’re alive, there’s a chance you can see her!”
Angel’s words instantly unlocked the Memory Casket in Popota’s mind.
Indeed, he had given his sister a painting on her ninth birthday, and he knew she treasured the painting in her necklace with great care.
As Popota remembered, he could even recall his sister’s crisp laughter and her eyes curved like crescent moons.
How could Angel know these things?
Popota had indeed mentioned to Angel that he had a sister named Hua Que, but he had never divulged such depths, not these memories… After his sister disappeared, these memories he had buried deep inside, how did Angel know of them?
Could it be that Angel really met Hua Que?
As this thought struck Popota, he clenched his fist tightly.
“I hope you’re not deceiving me!” Popota didn’t immediately seek confirmation from Angel; the most important thing now was to escape the Space Collapse!
As Popota began to contemplate how to flee the present danger, some answers hidden within his chaotic thoughts gradually appeared before him.
The Master of Depths had left him many coordinates, which corresponded to different locations.
If the path they were taking was now blocked by collapsing space, then they should take another!
With this thought, a “Solar Eclipse” symbol appeared in front of Popota. It was the true name seal of the Master of Depths, and with the appearance of this symbol—
A new Spatial Passage opened before him.
At the same time, the Space Collapse was a mere stone’s throw away!
