"Ah!"
Outside the Time Realm Rift, the enormous purple giant-eyed monster let out a strange cry, as though some sharp weapon had stabbed it in pain.
Its eyeball spasmed violently, the entire thing unable to stop recoiling backward, gleaming with disbelief.
Sound could not travel through the starry sky.
Sui Yin did not, like the Medicine Ancestor, keep a life field spread at all times to preserve its own vitality.
Thus, the Devil Ancestor and the Medicine Ancestor could not hear the sudden strange cry from that purple giant eye.
But after merely seeing it "move about" once, then "move about" again, each movement so abrupt—
No matter how foolish they were, they should have sensed something.
"The River of Time has developed an anomaly..."
The Devil Ancestor and Medicine Ancestor had each long since split off a strand of consciousness to monitor the River of Time without cease.
With a little attention now, they could clearly sense that Sui Yin's abnormality must have stemmed from a backlash from the past into the future.
It had been hit!
As for what had hit it...
When they truly tried to investigate, the two Ancestors could only detect a somewhat familiar aura of Intent within that anomaly.
The rest was already difficult to discern, and Sui Yin was actually concealing it as well—whether because it feared losing face or not, the truth of the matter became entirely impossible to bring to the surface.
"Sui Yin, why are you acting like this?"
The Medicine Ancestor spoke in a deep voice. What it hated most was unforeseen complications.
Hua Changdeng deliberately delaying for an hour was already hard enough to accept. Now their ally Sui Yin had suddenly developed an illness while waiting, making one wonder whether it had harbored other intentions.
"A variable!"
