Building A stood like a silent tower in the heart of the city. Legend had it that this was where the original developer of Dreaming of the Azure Firmament was born: the programmer who opened a gateway to another world with a single line of code had completed the final compilation on the top floor of Building A. Ever since, countless dreamers had flocked here, hoping to be chosen by the "platform."
The dark tide of the Final Era's tribulation surged like a furious sea, crashing violently against the radiance shield formed by the Seventh Seal Star Chart. Every impact sent Lei Zhen's life wheel into a violent shudder, as if his soul were about to be ripped from his body. The "purifying" Buddhist chant from the System core grew more and more grating, like countless red-hot steel needles trying to burrow into his sea of consciousness and erase the last vestiges of his sense of self.
The sound wasn't loud, yet it somehow pierced through the deafening Buddhist chants and the roar of the laws. A fluffy Pomeranian appeared in the middle of the battlefield. Its coat was snow-white, save for a hint of golden brown on the tips of its ears and tail. Its eyes shone like obsidian, full of the fearless cleverness of a young calf. Without a trace of fear, it bared its teeth at the hundred-zhang-tall black statue, then turned and cheerfully wagged its tail at the star beast, as if to say, "Master, I'm here."
