"This array..." Su Ming'an crouched down, quickly recognized this array, and recalled the events of the previous cycle:
...
[After being dragged to a room by the Executioner Hui Bei, Su Ming'an recovered a bit of his vision. He looked around; this room... resembled Su Liujin's initial room. Oil paintings, carpet, floor-to-ceiling mirror.]
[A blood-red pattern was drawn on the carpet, resembling a sacrificial array, surrounded by incense and candles.]
[Su Ming'an, having lost too much blood, collapsed just as the sacrificial array on the carpet glowed a scarlet light.]
[He saw an endless ocean before him, witnessing Su Liujin standing amidst the sea.]
...
Last time, after my survival time hit zero, I was dragged into an array by the Executioner Hui Bei and then saw the Sea Emperor. The Emperor asked me, "Do you choose to go forward or backward," leading to the Sea Crossing Line and Guardian Shore Line.
