Gu Tianyi's void-like eyes seemed to deepen, swirling with ancient secrets. "I cannot tell you. But know this—this person is the hidden enemy you are not yet aware of. And he is strong. Strong enough to stand equal to you, to Nian Shi, even to the Chasm itself."
Yun Lintian's mind raced. He had faced countless foes, but none matched that description. The Chasm was destruction incarnate. Nian Shi was a god who defied time. Who else could possibly stand on that level?
Gu Tianyi smiled faintly, as if reading his thoughts. "It's good that you're troubled. It means you haven't grown arrogant, even after obtaining the Seed of Time."
He waved a hand dismissively. "But there's no need to dwell on it. This enemy will reveal himself in due time."
Yun Lintian's gaze hardened. "And until then?"
"Until then," Gu Tianyi said, his voice turning solemn, "you will stay here."
Before Yun Lintian could react, the Overseer raised his hand—
And irresistible power descended.
