"Open the furnace!" Xu Ran shouted with firm resolve, his gaze blazing as he stared directly at the Ancient Tree of Light.
"Good!"
The Ancient Tree of Light let out a sound of admiration, as if it had awaited countless ages for this very moment.

The prison-suppressing giant claw that had been pursuing halted in mid-air, then slowly retracted into the massive black hole lair. Subsequently, the broken Heaven-Reaching Divine Sword, the collapsed Golden Divine Hall, and the wreckage of warships larger than stars... all the remnants of civilizations seemed to come alive in that instant!
