Song Ciwan witnessed an utterly horrifying scene.
An insect—one that had been dead for an unknown number of years—was regenerating its flesh even after it had been carved away.
The shock of this moment was no less than what she'd felt when her Lifespan had broken through a cosmic cycle, when her spirit had soared into the ethereal void and she had witnessed giant insects roaming the endless Abyss.
'No, this is even more terrifying!'
A storm raged in Song Ciwan's heart. It wasn't until the gray-robed boy had finished carving a large ring from the insect corpse's tail that she finally wrestled her emotions under control.
Her earlier question, at least, had been answered—
'So, the insect corpse can actually regenerate!'
It was no wonder the gray-robed boy called the insect "Insect Food" and said that he and his people survived by eating it—that they were raised on it.
But that wasn't enough. Answering one question only gave rise to more.
