Li Yi looked at the emerald green apple tree on the mountaintop in the distance, hesitated briefly, but ultimately made a decision. He did not turn around to leave this secret realm but resolutely walked forward.
"If it really doesn't work out, use the cross-realm device to force open the cross-border gate and leave here. Although doing this might deplete the energy of the Seven-Colored Stone, at least it's a method."
He had this backup plan, which gave him the confidence to act.
Before the gate disappeared, Li Yi didn't forget to leave a message for Sun Fei outside the gate: "If I don't come back, you just return to the building via the original way. At least you can ensure you won't die. If you still want to leave this Dark World, then keep walking forward along the path."
He gave Sun Fei two choices, letting him make the decision himself.
He continued to walk a few more steps.
The gate behind him completely disappeared.
