Silence.
The world was shrouded in darkness.
Hong Yu forced his eyes open, finally seeing a sliver of light. His nose twitched, and a refreshing, soul-soothing fragrance wafted over him.
It was a scent blended from rich medicinal aromas and the fragrance of a hundred flowers.
"Wh-where is this? A-am I not dead?" Hong Yu struggled to keep his eyes open. After a moment of adjustment, he could finally make out his surroundings.
He was in a sea of flowers.
Colorful blossoms were everywhere: peonies, roses, hibiscus, and more...
Many flowers from different seasons, which should not have been blooming at the same time, vied for attention in a magnificent, splendid display.
"Where is this place?"
Hong Yu tried to turn his neck, but a sharp pain shot through it, forcing him to stop.
Suddenly, Hong Yu saw that from every single blooming flower in the endless sea, tiny, brilliant specks of light were drifting out and floating toward him.
It looked like pollen!
