The capital was set abuzz by Gui He's return, yet the instigator of it all was silent deep within his own consciousness.
Here, it was pitch black, save for two rivers of power endlessly surging and looping.
To the left was a crimson river, and to the right, a verdant river. Originally unconnected, the two became entwined due to Gui He's manipulation.
The crimson river extended countless tiny tributaries, piercing into the verdant river, stealing its waters to bolster itself.
And the verdant river, its waters drawn off, began to dwindle, showing signs of drying up.
Although Gui He did not know what effect the drying of the verdant river would have on himself, one thing was certain: it meant harm. With the demise of the verdant river, he would have to bear the cost of its extinction.
The two rivers represented the power of qi and blood learned from Lu Hong, and his own tortoise bloodline.
Cultivating based on one's bloodline was a reckless act that would ruin his future.
