Just before the five Great Emperors arrived, Chu Sheng's consciousness had entered the Primordial Grotto Heaven. The first thing he did was take out the core from the Ancestral Hall and attempt to bring it into contact with the Time Trace Hourglass.
As it turned out, Yao hadn't lied to him.
The moment the two made contact, the Time Trace Hourglass was successfully activated.
The solidified fragment of time within the hourglass dissolved into streams of light, which finally converged into the phantom image of "Gu Yuexi" standing before him.
Just now, Chu Sheng had only managed to ask her one question.
"Whoa... who are you?"
The figure replied, "My title is Shi Xi."
Before he could ask more, he sensed the arrival of the five Great Emperors in the outside world, forcing him to cut the conversation short and leave the grotto-heaven.
And if those Emperors had truly decided to attack him just now, this would have been his only trump card for escape.
