His gaze flicked briefly toward the core of the matrix before settling on the two white-robed men approaching, clearly alerted by his arrival.
"Mister Liang," one of them greeted with a respectful smile. "It's a pleasure to see you again."
Liang gave a faint nod. Then, without a word, he stepped into the void—and vanished, leaving behind only a ripple of spatial energy.
Dong Si watched the lingering distortion with a trace of awe. "What an extraordinary man," he murmured.
Beside him, Dong Chen stroked his beard, his tone contemplative. "Indeed. Without him, completing this matrix might have taken us centuries."
Dong Si exhaled softly. "Genius like that can't be taught. It simply appears, as if heaven-ordained."
