Chapter 1884: Leaving the world empty (III)
The spatial energy within the enormous formation rapidly intensified, becoming stronger and more chaotic until it finally stabilized, forming a massive, shimmering portal that pierced the sky. Less than a second later, figures began emerging steadily from within. The first to step forth were familiar faces to the Sky Sovereign: Magnus, Rylanor, the Thirteen Stars of Doomsday, and thousands upon thousands of warriors from the Scarlet Path who had already acquainted themselves with the Everlife Continent.
As soon as they emerged, their eyes widened in amazement as they beheld the awe-inspiring figure of the Primarch of Conquest Leviathan towering majestically above them. Although all of them knew that Cain had successfully defeated Divine Calamity, they had not witnessed the fight firsthand, nor had they seen this colossal, majestic form before.
The overwhelming presence of Leviathan filled their hearts with reverence and deep admiration, causing the scarlet flames within their eyes to blaze with greater intensity. Yet, they swiftly recalled their mission and responsibilities, instantly regaining their composure. With practiced efficiency, they rapidly mobilized, positioning themselves along the perimeter of the formation, preparing to guide and protect the incoming population.
Moments later, millions upon millions of beings from all six Sacred Races started crossing the colossal portal. Naturally, their eyes also instinctively focused on the gigantic silhouette of Leviathan. Its immense form could have easily inspired terror and panic under different circumstances, yet for the people of Aether, Leviathan was simply a divine manifestation of the Scarlet King, the deity they worshipped devoutly. Thus, its presence did not invoke fear, but rather provided reassurance and a profound sense of safety, calming their hearts as they moved forward into their new world.
Despite the incredible scale of the mass exodus, there was no panic or chaos. Instead, there was a remarkable orderliness and steady flow, with people following precise instructions from Scarlet Path cultivators. They calmly emerged from the portal, swiftly organized themselves, and then settled in orderly groups along the edges of the designated areas. Witnessing this impressive coordination and efficiency, the Sky Sovereign and the other Prima Deities standing nearby couldn’t help but look upon the unfolding scene with awe and admiration.
Guiding tens of thousands of people through a single teleportation array would already be considered extremely difficult, even for seasoned experts. However, what they witnessed here went far beyond mere tens of thousands; the Scarlet Path’s logistic masters seamlessly managed the smooth transportation and organization of tens of millions of people each passing minute. Such flawless execution of this intricate operation was staggering, particularly given that many of those transported were neither trained soldiers nor powerful cultivators, but ordinary citizens—individuals who usually panicked or froze when confronted with sudden and unfamiliar scenarios.
This clearly indicated that those responsible for managing the operation on Aether’s side possessed extraordinary organizational capabilities. Their coordination, discipline, and efficiency were so impressive that the billions of inhabitants from Aether had successfully completed their exodus in only fifteen short hours—a logistical feat unprecedented in scale and speed.
However, just as the exodus appeared to be nearing completion, a sudden and unexpected phenomenon occurred: a flood of Wave Beasts began emerging from within the portal. The teleportation formation possessed no inherent barrier against their entry, so as these beasts moved toward the portal on the other side, the formation’s gravitational pull drew them through as well.
Initially, this unexpected influx of Wave Beasts caused some concern among Scarlet Path cultivators stationed nearby. Although the beasts posed minimal threat to cultivators of their caliber, they still moved to swiftly eliminate them. However, before anyone could act, a commanding voice echoed clearly from above.
"Let them pass."
