Chapter 1256: Masters of the World
Gao Yang and his companions entered the Gates of Closure through the large crack. The colorful lights flooding out of the Gates had made it seem like they would be met with an otherworldly scenery and impossible treasures, but no, there was nothing on the other side.
Giving them no time to think, the Gates behind them closed.
The “inside” and the “outside” of the Gates were identical. Soon, the Gates became abstracted before reverting to the sketch of countless flowing lines of light. Then the light started contracting—or collapsing. In a matter of seconds, it morphed back into the Miracle Rune Circuit, hovering in the air with a soft golden glow.
During the process, they recovered their human form, too.
Gao Yang reached toward the Rune Circuit. Sensing him, it quickly flew into his grasp and stopped glowing.
With their only source of light extinguished, their surroundings dimmed. The space they found themselves in had no visible boundary or horizon to divide the sky and the ground.
Although there was no obvious source of light, though, weak particles of light seemed to exist in the space. It was thus dim, but not pitch dark. It was a muted, dull grey, like a still frame plucked out of the moment before the night descended.
They stayed silent for a long moment.
It was a curious feeling, as if there was some agreed-upon rule preventing them from speaking.
“Hey, hello? Anyone here?” Zhang Wei was the only exception. “We can talk!”
The moment he broke the silence, the others realized, Ah, that’s right. We can talk.
