Snap! Chen Luo snapped his fingers, and a black flame danced at his fingertips. As it appeared, the shadows and darkness within the starskiff he sat in began to stir, as though they were boiling.
An inexplicable sense of panic spread rapidly like a plague. In mere moments, the Xianzhou people once again felt the heart-pounding terror of being stained by endless darkness.
What terrified them even more was that although their hearts were gripped by extreme fear, their bodies seemed completely beyond their control. They calmly continued doing their work, as if their bodies and souls had become reversed. A profound sense of dissonance quickly rose within them.
Their calm bodies and terrified souls seemed utterly incompatible, yet this phenomenon, which appeared to defy the rules of the world, had truly occurred.
The entire Xianzhou was like an intricately connected machine, everyone busy with their own tasks. Yet if one viewed the whole Xianzhou from the perspective of the soul, it now seemed like a chaotic dance of demons.
As that panic swept across the entire Xianzhou like a plague, every person was gripped by terror, and the black flame at Chen Luo's fingertips danced even more joyfully.
Snap!
The sound of another snap rang out, and the panic surging throughout the Xianzhou receded like the tide. After a brief daze, everyone continued with their work, as if that fear had merely been a fleeting illusion.
No one cared about those illusions. Surely the matters at hand were more important?
Silently and without anyone noticing, the entire Xianzhou seemed to have forgotten something important.
Had something unusual happened on the Xianzhou just now?
No, right?
Even records that had already described the darkness blotting out the sky, whether in written documents or electronic devices, were distorted into other records
