Chapter 357: The Ones That Responsible?
At an unknown place, where only an endless white expanse stretched in every direction, an old man sat in deep meditation. However, his eyes slowly opened, and his expression frowned. He closed them again, trying to perceive something, but his frown only deepened.
"It’s coming from the First Heaven again... and this time, it’s much stronger. I’m even starting to lose control over a small part of that place. What is going on?"
He couldn’t comprehend the sudden disturbance, especially when he was so close to completing his goal. What the hell had happened? As someone of his status and strength, he couldn’t simply go there whenever he pleased.
"If not for the law of causality..." he sighed. He desperately wanted to see for himself what was happening, but the "assimilation" process had come to a halt due to this unexpected development.
Suddenly, a shadow appeared in front of him. It took the form of a burly man, with menacing red eyes glaring at the old man.
"Did you break the agreement? Did you act without my knowledge?" the shadow’s voice resounded, deep and terrifying, like a growling beast. Yet, the old man remained unfazed.
"What are you talking about? I would never do anything that would be detrimental to us. Don’t you have your own ’apostle’ in that place? Shouldn’t you have more knowledge of the situation than I do? As per the agreement, I have only attempted to influence that part of Heaven—nothing more," the old man replied calmly.
"My apostle reported that an unknown variable has appeared. He seems to be special—just like him. I have already inquired with the others, and none of them know anything about it. You are the last one I asked, and you still have no idea?" The shadow’s voice rose, laced with irritation.
"I am slowly losing control of that place, and I can’t even read its fate anymore! I can no longer see the present, the future, or even the past. It’s as if something is blocking my vision. Are you telling me that some kind of existence suddenly appeared and already has the ability to conceal itself from divine observation?" His voice boomed like thunder.
Despite the intensity, the old man remained calm and answered.
"I truly don’t know, and my answer remains the same. If it’s an unknown existence, then perhaps those rebellious bastards or even the Heavenly Demon are responsible for something beyond our awareness."
