Chapter 783 47: That Day_2

The surrounding observers almost thought everything had ended.

But precisely because of this.

That intense unease, as if it could reach deep into one's soul, directly occupied the minds of all the observers.

The calm before the storm.

At this moment.

No other adjective could be more fitting.

What is he planning...?

In the eerie calm.

Chen Lusi remained still, but the Jade Seal in his hand, at some unknown point, had turned transparent, brimming with a rich golden glow within.

From a distance, it looked like glass, dazzlingly beautiful.

Like the most precious jewel in the world.

Moreover, it seemed to have expanded, as if it could no longer contain anything.

Overhead.

When that enormous shadow noticed that everything around had become calm, the Jade Seal in Chen Lusi's hand suddenly expanded like glass.

The wings, which seemed to cover the sky when spread, suddenly quivered.

Feathers fluttered down.

It spun around sharply, facing Chen Lusi.

But at the same time, Ying Zheng's calm yet indisputable voice echoed: "Stand down."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The enormous shadow seemed frozen, truly taking a step back.

"It's been a long time since I've seen that scene."

Accompanied by the trembling of the distant First Emperor's Mausoleum.

Ying Zheng looked at the gigantic shadow before him, his long hair flowing, raising his hand, eyes filled with dazzling golden light: "So, stand down."

The enormous shadow heard this and stepped back again.

But swiftly.

It became aware, suddenly flaring its wings, forcibly turning around, leaving Ying Zheng behind, disregarding him entirely, plunging towards Chen Lusi.

It no longer cared for any rules! Any consequences!

It was determined to forcefully descend to the human world!

Whoosh—

With a sound slicing through the air.

In just the blink of an eye, the next second, the observers saw… the enormous shadow overhead, appearing before Chen Lusi, its spread wings enveloping them as well.

Their pupils, visibly, shrank to a point.

...A god descending to the human world.

This thought just arose.

Immediately, they saw... Chen Lusi also opened his eyes.

As his clothes fluttered, his pupils reflected the enormous shadow looming over him, yet devoid of extra emotion, simply gripping the Jade Seal, simultaneously holding Tai'e tightly, beginning to swing it forward.

Ying Zheng had already lifted his hand, but upon seeing this, slowly lowered it again, just watching Chen Lusi, who at this moment was in some sense a Lord of the Yellow Springs, with a faint smile.

Tick-tock—

At the moment Chen Lusi swung the sword.

A sound like a pendulum swinging suddenly resonated.

Then.

The surrounding time seemed to freeze.

The observers could still think, yet couldn't move a single finger.

And in their astonished gazes.

Tick-tock—

A second pendulum-like sound echoed.

Immediately.

The colors in their sight began to fade, starting to converge towards Chen Lusi, or more accurately, starting to converge towards his right hand.

In an instant.

The world in their eyes was reduced to just black, white, and gray.

Everything in the world lost its color.

Tick-tock—

The third pendulum sound rang out.

The entire world, now only black, white, and gray, began collapsing and gathering towards where Chen Lusi stood.

From the farthest point visible.

Everything started converging towards where Chen Lusi was.

The sea, the sky, the clouds, the light.

Everything they could see... including the divine presence.

All disappeared.

Including Chen Lusi.

In their vision, only endless void, boundless blackness remained.

Everyone fell into chaotic darkness.

They looked at the surrounding darkness, trying hard to open their mouths, wanting to utter a sound, wanting to exclaim, yet utterly unable to do so.

Because when everything in sight disappeared, what vanished next was their voice, body heat, thoughts, and souls.

They held onto their last thought, frozen in place.

The world in their eyes, in this instant, seemed to have lost its life.

Returning to its primordial form.

Until… within the darkness, a hint of golden light slowly lit up.

That became the only light in the darkness.

And that, was the gold-stained pupils of Chen Lusi.

"You said, let there be light, so there can be light… then you can try to block this light."

Chen Lusi's voice arose, becoming the only sound in the darkness.

Then, he swung the Tai'e, which he had been charging with power.

His movement was not quick, even considered slow.

But as he swung the sword, golden light erupted abruptly, like a meteor cutting through chaotic darkness, a blade tearing through the night.

From Chen Lusi as the starting point, it exploded suddenly!

Instantly illuminating everyone's face.

Everyone suddenly snapped back to reality, thoughts returned.

Time resumed flowing.

Then they discovered, the world was still intact, not faded; the sky and sea, clouds and divine presence were all still in existence.

As if everything just now had been a mere illusion.

And what had indeed changed on the scene was only the Tai'e in Chen Lusi's grip... and that divine presence which forcefully descended.

Because Chen Lusi indeed swung the Tai'e.

And the forcibly descended divine presence, now had no trace of initial divinity on its face, instead, with Chen Lusi's sword swing, showed an extremely clear… expression of fear.

Fear?

"..."

The observers, who had just witnessed the world's return to primal form, stopped thinking upon observing this.
