Some time passed, and the morning quickly gave way to noon.
Before long, the sun began its slow descent toward the horizon, casting a warm golden glow across the world.
Meanwhile, deep within the Yin Realm, Shadow lingered in the vast, silent space of black and white.
It stood motionless, its gaze fixed on the sky above.
There, stretching across the endless expanse, was the enormous chain.
Shadow stared at it for a long time.
"…"
For once, it wasn't thinking about how to become stronger or how to be more useful to its master.
Instead, it seemed lost in thought, its attention entirely focused on the mysterious chain hanging above the Yin Realm.
For some reason, it had been feeling increasingly uneasy whenever it looked at it.
At first, the feeling had been faint enough to ignore.
But as time passed, it had grown more noticeable.
The chain seemed to be getting stronger.
It was a subtle change, almost impossible to detect, but Shadow could feel it.
