Aside from An Jing, when the anomaly first occurred, most people did not pay it much attention. Immortal music lingered through the hall as cups passed back and forth, and everyone enjoyed this rare feast in Huaixu Heaven.
Even Jin Yanhua had not quite reacted yet.

"Mmm... it really is delicious!"
You Ruhui picked up a peach and took a small bite, delight glinting in her eyes. This flat peach was indeed sweet in flavor and rich in essence, exceptionally beneficial for replenishing one's vital energy.

"Eat quickly, Ruhui."
He narrowed his eyes at the ever-thickening pillar of light. "Soon, soon..."
"The big one is coming."

The instant those words were spoken, everyone raised their heads and looked at the Dragon Gods in confusion. But soon, an ancient, vast dragon's roar—seemingly from before the dawn of time—sounded without warning from the depths of everyone's Divine Souls
