Chapter 2629. The World Moves Because of Her
As Exquisite stood in the arena, she looked more like a piece of machinery than a living being. Her expression was utterly placid, as if she could see through everything. Even sages and prophets wouldn’t be so calm and controlled.
“No matter how many times I see this, I’m always struck by both the power and the cruelty of the Very High Eye. They have managed to combine the sky with their body. They should be the real Sky people. But combining with the Sky makes them a part of the universal ruleset. Does the real Exquisite still exist?” Sky Palace Leader looked at Exquisite and sighed.
“Our alpha worried about that, too. That was why he insisted on interbreeding with another race to create an entirely new people It brought about very special changes for the Very High Eye. Our Very High Eyes might have weakened now that they are no longer perfectly aligned with the universal ruleset, but the changes did open the door for other, grander opportunities. It has more possibilities than the Very High Eye.” The woman paused and went on to say, “But anyway, we are part of the universe. There is no way for us to disconnect from it, no matter what we do. From that perspective, the path of the Very High is the correct one. They are the race that is closest to the weave that composes the universe.”
“Right or wrong, it doesn’t matter. We should just take the path we feel is right. Results are something only time can tell us,” Sky Palace Leader said with a shrug.
Han Sen was admiring Exquisite’s power. He watched her use this ability once before, but seeing it again was just as moving.
People weren’t perfect; everyone had their flaws. When Exquisite opened her Very High Eye, however, she no longer seemed like a mortal being with failings and frailties. It was as if she wasn’t even a person. She was like some art piece created by none other than God himself.
“Use all your strength, or else you won’t stand a chance,” Exquisite told Han Sen. Her words might have sounded cocky, but there was no cockiness in her tone. It was more like she was just speaking facts.
Han Sen smiled. He lifted his hand like a knife and used Fang to slash toward her.
The last time they fought, they had been using the water of a nearby pond. It was like a practice session for him, and Exquisite hadn’t used all her Very High power.
