As Future Light fractured, in that instant, a certain force of dimensional order that had endured throughout the entire dimension cracked apart with it.
It felt as though the whole dimension—past and present, future, infinite time, infinite space—had become a sheet of cracking ice, riddled with countless fine fissures.
Cracked, yet unbroken!
A strange aura seeped out in wisps and threads from those omnipresent cracks.
At that moment, regardless of strength, every sentient being beneath the heavens and upon the earth—from Immortality beings and Eternal Ones down to ordinary creatures, even the tiniest insects—so long as they possessed awareness, so long as they had a heart, could not help but feel that the world had changed.
Yet if asked what had changed, they could not say.
As for Future Light, already split into two halves, it transformed in an instant into two endless sources of energy.
Vast power surged wildly out from within them.
Only then did the gathered powerhouses abruptly realize that the four great experts who had fought heaven and earth and suppressed all heroes were merely a "box."
Their principles, their Dao, their origins—though wondrous and extraordinary—were not what the black hands hidden in the darkness of myriad ages sought.
What lay inside the box was their true goal.
As for what exactly was inside the box—
Even now, with the box torn apart and its contents revealed, the powerhouses could only sense that the world had changed. They had no idea what it was that had brought about that change.
That thing could not be seen, could not be heard, could not be imagined, and was beyond all comprehension!
Having harvested the fruits of victory, Dao Sovereign and Eldest Senior Brother each grasped one half of Future Light. Both of them underwent tremendous changes as well.
