As is well known, the cycle of a day in the Mortal World is achieved by the alternation of night and day: normally, the rise of the sun signifies the start of a day, and its setting heralds the arrival of night.
This cycle repeats, endlessly.
However, the Lord of Demon City, President Xuanyuan Wuji of the Xuanyuan Corporation, had realized that the intervals of a day in Nanyue Country had noticeably sped up, by at least five or six times.
Xuanyuan Wuji's gaze was fixed on the red sun over the mountains, yet his heart could not feel any warmth at all, only the deep chill that invaded his limbs and bones.
The sun, which once symbolized hope, had now become a presence that filled him with despair.
The Lord of Demon City, Xuanyuan Wuji of the Xuanyuan Corporation, staggered slightly as a wave of dizziness overcame him, seemingly unable to continue gazing at the ominous sun rising slowly from the west.
