Unknown Bright Universe, unnamed star system.
Insect Nest.
Gu Jue didn't know how long he had been there, because Azure Dragon had run out of energy, and White Tiger was also out of power; they had both entered a hibernation state.
There were no constants like stars or planets to help him keep track of time here, and he had to be on guard against the constantly respawning Insect Beasts and Insectoids.
He didn't know how many had respawned.
Another woman approached Gu Jue, with an ordinary appearance—a very common kind of pretty woman.
"Actually, we are all very curious as to why you were thrown here. But we all acknowledge that you are indeed very strong," said the pretty woman, a deep admiration and longing in her eyes.
Gu Jue was sitting on a broken slate, holding a dagger, carving something on a palm-sized stone slate.
The woman asked curiously, "What are you drawing?"
"My wife."
