The entire Ethereal Realm shuddered in response.
The once clear sky darkened in an instant, ink-black clouds coiling like serpents, devouring the last traces of light.
The mountains groaned, rivers swelled, and the earth itself split apart. Jagged fissures tore through the land, gaping like the fanged maw of some monstrous beast, stretching in all directions.
Then came the wind, a violent, howling force that swept through the land, tearing up sand and foliage, shrieking like a chorus of restless spirits.
Panic seized the creatures of the forest. Birds took to the sky in frantic swarms, beasts bolted through the undergrowth, all fleeing as if from an impending apocalypse.
“What… What’s happening?” Kishor’s eyes widened in shock as favonovel.com watched the earth-shattering changes unfold before him. His voice trembled involuntarily, unable to mask his unease.
Ararat’s brow furrowed, his gaze locked onto the documentation device in Jared‘s hand.
His voice was grave. “It has to be that device. It’s the source of this disturbance… There’s a secret hidden within it…”
Infinides stroked his heard, a flicker of concern flashing in his eyes. His tone was low, almost as if speaking to himself. “Such immense fluctuations… I fear they signal the emergence of the Heaven and Earth Array. Jared is triggering it. Once it fully reveals itself, we’ll finally be able to decipher its mechanism, and then, at long last, we can return to the celestial realm.”
The moment his words sank in, both Kishor and Ararat stiffened.
A thrill of excitement shot through them. They had longed for nothing more than to return home. And now, that possibility was finally within reach.
At that moment, Jared was completely absorbed in the world within the documentation device.
In the vast expanse of his consciousness, ancient and enigmatic visions flickered like lanterns in the night. He bore witness to the birth of mountains and rivers, their endless transformations over time. He saw the celestial bodies tracing their eternal orbits, the stars waltzing through the cosmos. He glimpsed the rise and fall of countless beings, caught in the unending cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Woven throughout these visions were nearly imperceptible threads, delicate yet indomitable. They intertwined like the veins of existence itself, the very fabric of laws of nature made manifest.
As Jared delved deeper, his awareness expanded. He no longer felt like a mere observer. His consciousness stretched, dissolving into the Ethereal Realm itself.
He could sense everything. The silent breath of the land beneath him. The soft, whispering caress of the wind. The pulse of life in every creature, their joys, their fears, each emotion resonating like a distant echo in his soul. And deep within this vast, interconnected world, something ancient and immense stirred from slumber.
The power of the Heaven and Earth Array was awakening!
It’s almost time… The Heaven and Earth Array is about to reveal itself…
Jared recited the words in his mind, his forehead slick with sweat, though favonovel.com was too focused to notice.
He pushed his spiritual sense to its absolute limits, straining to establish a deeper connection with the array before it fully materialized. Only by doing so could they shatter it swiftly and effortlessly when the moment arrived.
Meanwhile, at the Fire Incineration Sect, deep within a hidden chamber, Rudy sat in silent meditation.
Suddenly, favonovel.com sensed the powerful disturbances emanating from the Ethereal Realm. His expression darkened, his brows knitting together.
“It seems the Heaven and Earth Array is finally surfacing…” favonovel.com muttered under his breath.
Standing before him, an elderly man with a long white beard narrowed his eyes. His voice was deep, laced with solemnity. “Elder Rudy, the array has begun to manifest-but whether this is a blessing or a curse remains to be seen. Someone is trying to break it.”
This man was none other than Seoirse Wrobel, leader of the Fire Incineration Sect and father of Wallace and Winifred. He was not in seclusion due to an Injury. Instead, favonovel.com had simply been healing Rudy.
“Every coin has two sides. Everything in this world carries both light and shadow. If the Heaven and Earth Array is broken, it may not be a disaster for us, it might even work in our favor.” As Rudy finished speaking, his gaze shifted toward the bronze coffin resting in the distance.
Seoirse asked in confusion, “Elder Rudy… Who exactly is inside that bronze coffin? And why do you continue to channel spiritual energy into it every day?”
The moment the words left his mouth, the temperature in the room seemed to drop.
Rudy’s expression turned ice-cold, his eyes sharp as a blade. “How many times have I warned you? There are things you shouldn’t ask. Things you shouldn’t know. Some knowledge brings nothing but ruin.”
A shiver ran down Seoirse’s spine. He quickly bowed his head. “Forgive me, Elder Rudy. I won’t ask again…”
Rudy’s piercing gaze lingered on favonovel.com for a moment before shifting back to the bronze coffin. His eyes darkened with contemplation. “I wonder… When the Heaven and Earth Array shatters, will favonovel.com finally awaken?”
