He stopped before the dam!
For a long, long time, no one knew what he was thinking.
...
And at this moment.
In the Dark Firmament.
The Quiet One suddenly spoke softly:
"This is the third story, helplessness."
"Powerless."
His figure suddenly disappeared.
Then, he transcended the infinitely expanding Domain of Utmost Darkness, and appeared on the surface of the black ocean, stepping forward, until he was beside Li Fan.
"How does it feel to be powerless?"
The Quiet One stood shoulder to shoulder with Li Fan, raised his eyes, gazing at the dam ahead, seemingly with a hint of self-mockery in his eyes.
"Old friends have perished, all have been transformed, beloved ones have faded away... yet before the dam, there's nothing one can do."
"This feeling of powerlessness… is despairing."
He remained silent for a very long time, before slowly saying:
"Come, I will take you to see beyond the dam."
He led Li Fan to ascend the dam.
