Chapter 998: To Search.
Just as Tepid Scholar wanted to keep ranting, the Sea of Worlds began to shake. Every world in the Sea of Worlds and the void in between the worlds was shaking. In fact, the whole space of the Sea of Worlds was shaking.All the Dao Lords noticed that everything seemed to be shaking, but they couldn’t be sure about what was happening because they too were shaking.
They didn’t know if the world shaking was shaking them or whether their shaking was making the world shake. But they knew that they felt fear.
They didn’t even know what was causing all of the shaking, but this didn’t stop them from feeling heart-palpitating fear. Even though the source of their fear was unknown, they knew that it was coming and that they should be afraid of it.
No one was talking about what was happening. Everyone was looking up at the sky in expectation of what was about to happen. But they were also doing a lot of thinking.
One of the things they were thinking about was the possibility of the Sea of Worlds being destroyed because of what was trying to enter. As it stood, the chance of such a thing happening was high.
They didn’t know if it was possible for the Sea of Worlds to be destroyed. But if it was possible, now seemed like a good time for it to happen.
Just as they expected, something did come. It tore a hole in the fabric of the Sea of Worlds like a giant tearing off the roof of a toy house. Then it peered through the hole in the roof to look into the Sea of Worlds.
A giant eye suddenly appeared at the top of the Sea of Worlds. The eye seemed bigger than the Blessed Heaven World, which is the biggest world in the Sea of Worlds, so when the eye focused on the Sea of Worlds, it looked like a giant looking at a pebble.
The giant eye was also like a star. It was producing so much light that the entire Sea of Worlds was illuminated.
But strangely, for a star that powerful, most of the light of the eye was concentrated in the Sea of Worlds. Specifically, the light of the eye was concentrated at the spot where the dragon had just been.
Wherever the light of the eye passed, everything became translucent. Nothing could stop the light of the eye, so the world was forced to become a phantom or a hologram of itself.
After inspecting the spot where Loki used to be, the eye closed and left. The sudden source of light disappeared, and the Sea of Worlds was plunged into darkness again.
Only, that’s what seemed to have happened from their perspective. From the perspective of the eye, it never left.
The eye was still in the same spot in space. It was only looking at a different time of the same spot. So while the people of the Sea of Worlds at this point in time thought the eye was gone, a version of it in another time was still seeing the eye in the sky.
