Duang——
The deep bell rings again.
A somewhat drowsy young man lifts his eyelids, lazily glances at the mountaintop, then frowns, his expression seeming somewhat hesitant, then rubs his belly.
"What's going on?"
"Ever since the bell started ringing yesterday, this cursed beast hasn't been still, constantly causing turmoil inside me. Surely I can't be having stomach troubles after reaching Core Formation?"
"Or is it urging something?"
Golden light shines brightly, illuminating the earth, the light from the Buddha Tower inspires reverence, and bathing under Buddha's presence should have been solemn, but instead, it feels somewhat chilling.
The young man lies on a thick tree branch looking towards the mountaintop, where the Buddha Tower in the Golden Light Longevity Temple flickers in and out of view, and since yesterday it hasn't stopped ringing; he has carefully counted the hours—it rings every three hours.
