As the jade slip turned to fine dust, the light within the stone chamber seemed to dim slightly, and a faint air of sorrow and release lingered in the atmosphere. Qin Yuanfeng watched as the specks of spiritual light on the long blade in his hand dissipated, yet he felt not a shred of regret in his heart. He knew that while his decision was cruel, it was the responsible choice for the future of the entire Human Race.
The stone chamber returned to a dead silence, broken only by the heavy sound of Qin Yuanfeng's breathing. He slowly put away his long blade, swept his gaze across the chamber one last time, and prepared to leave after confirming nothing was missed. However, just as he turned around, a faint glimmer of light suddenly flashed in a corner of the chamber, catching his attention.
A thought stirred in Qin Yuanfeng's heart as he strode quickly toward the source of the light. In an unremarkable corner of the stone chamber, a seemingly ordinary stone wall faintly exuded a soft spiritual light. Reaching out to touch it gently, he found the surface of the wall as warm and smooth as jade, appearing entirely different from the surrounding stone.
