Chun Yue ventured, "What is our next move, Master?"
Ren Yuan's smile turned icy.
"We make the chaos greater."
He raised a hand, and space rippled as a portal tore open. Beyond it lay a swirling void—a place between realms, where the fabric of reality thinned.
"The God of Heaven's legacy isn't merely power," Ren Yuan murmured. "It's influence." His third eye flickered open briefly, galaxies swirling within its depths. "And what better time to wield it than when the world is already burning?"
Chun Yue's lips parted in realization. "You mean to—"
"Yun Lintian and Nian Shi will clash," Ren Yuan interrupted. "One fights for love, the other for dominion. But in their struggle, the balance will shatter. And when it does..."
His fingers curled into a fist.
"That is when the true game begins."
Without another word, Ren Yuan stepped through the portal. Chun Yue hesitated only a moment before following, her heart pounding with anticipation.
The stage was set.
