Suddenly, in the depths of the sky, the blood moon went out without a sound.
"The moon has vanished!"
"What happened? Has Eternal Night invaded so deeply that it's swallowed even the stars and moon here?"
Some of the True Immortals ascending from the surface cried out in alarm.
Even figures as powerful as the Holy Land Masters and the three Demon Saints changed expression slightly. One could only imagine the enormous waves surging through everyone else's hearts.
Down on the earth, it was still "daytime," when the bright moon shone strongest. People suddenly discovered that the entire night sky had become like an abyss, and a sense of suffocation gripped them.
The stars and moon had all vanished. This unprecedented darkness sparked tremendous panic throughout the Mortal World.
Even the immortals turned pale, certain suspicions forming in their minds.
By comparison, the Great Sages at the end of the Immortal Ascension Road remained calmer. Before arriving in this world, they had never seen actual stars or a bright moon. Losing them so abruptly merely meant returning to the environment they had always known.
"Could it be that-the world we see is entirely false? That there were never any stars filling the heavens, nor a bright moon hanging overhead?"
The pupils of the Return-to-Ruins Sacred Land's master contracted as he voiced this suspicion. Even someone of his exalted standing felt his thoughts thrown into turmoil. Could the living beings of the entire world
have been deceived?
It was hard not to let their thoughts wander. An aged voice had just spoken in the night sky about opening the blood moon to welcome the ascenders, and then the stars and moon had gone out.
The more they pondered it, the more their blood ran cold.
