The gray-gold light lasted only three breaths before vanishing, but within those three breaths, the tide of Spiritual Qi throughout the Divine Capital was forcibly reversed once.
Every cultivator circulating Spiritual Qi, regardless of realm, had the Spiritual Qi in their meridians stop for an instant.
The overturned teacup in the Heavenly Prison's Duty Room bounced off the table and fell to the floor, shattering into three pieces.
Fang Mo stood at the passage entrance in the deepest part of the Heavenly Prison, his right hand pressed against the wall.
The Prison Suppressor Patterns beneath the wall were scalding, so hot that his palm had reddened.
"Nian Nu'er, tell me clearly. What exactly came out of that coffin?"
Nian Nu'er did not answer immediately.
The Black Water in his Sea of Consciousness churned, but differently from before. It was not caused by fear, but resonance.
"This humble one needs to confirm something."

"The five God Kings corresponding to the Five Viscera Divine Treasures within you, my lord-did they share a common lord when they were alive?"
Fang Mo said nothing.
Nian Nu'er continued.
"Hui Chuanliu Desire governs Kidney Water, Fear Skeleton Dispersing Form governs Lung Metal, Ember Vein Burning Emotion governs Heart Fire, Sorrowful Mist Locking the Liver governs Liver Wood, and the one in Ji Block governs Spleen Earth. Add Reverse Tendons Defying the Norm in the Gallbladder Palace, Bone Listening Sound Swallowing in the ear, and Rigid Marrow, Steadfast Mind in the spine-each of these God Kings has their own duties, and none is subordinate to another."
"But in the legends of this humble one's era, there was an existence who stood above all God Kings."
Fang Mo pressed his fingers harder against the wall.
"This humble one remembers that name."
"Speak."
Nian Nu'er lowered her voice
