The Engine Is Complete

The familiar dizziness struck again, but this time around it was shorter than the time they entered the illusory world. Hao Ren simply felt everything before him turn black in a flash, and by the time he felt his feet touch solid ground again, he realized that he was surrounded by the silver platform.

The giant discs still floated before him, and Rheia was standing on his left-hand side while Lemendusa was in a corner not too far away. Vivian, on the other hand, was on his right, and she was staring at him with curious wide eyes as she checked on him.

Hao Ren's sudden opening of his eyes scared Vivian. "Whoa!"

She then waved it off. "I saw the discs grew dim but you two were not awake, so I came over to have a look."

Hao Ren held his head as he tried to clear his muddled mind. "Uh.... we stayed in the illusory world a bit longer."
