Chapter 2504 - The Awakening of the Insects, All Is Revitalized
People flowed through the city streets in a neverending stream.
The man in blue robes and Elder Weng stood there, just three feet apart.
Strangely, it was as if those around them couldn’t sense their existence; they treated them as if they weren’t even there.
“Most people in this world are mediocre. How many are truly capable of seeing through my identity?” Elder Weng shook his head.

“Come on, let’s leave the city. I’ll give you a chance to fight back.” The man in blue put his hands behind his back and gazed into the firmament. “Today just so happens to be the Awakening of the Insects, the day of new life. All we’re missing is a bout of spring thunder.”
He’d only just said this when dark clouds suddenly gathered beneath the clear blue skies, followed by the low rumble of thunder!
As the thunder boomed overhead, it brought with it a restless energy that enlived all living beings. Those tiny lives dormant beneath the ground all seemed to awaken.

Vibrant life force permeated the sky. The city’s willow leaves were new, vibrant green, and tender.
Elder Weng’s pupils constricted.
