"Done."
After Shen Wanning's voice fell, the sky over the entire Primordial Chaos Realm seemed to freeze.
That stillness differed from the oppressive sensation when Heaven's Will had acted before. It was a kind of... silence.
Like the final calm before a storm broke.
The enormous finger suspended above the Netherferry Ship shattered with a thunderous crash at that moment, while every Rule Chain upon the Netherferry Ship vanished without a trace in an instant.
Lin Tianwei hovered in midair, his face livid as he stared fixedly at the enormous face in the sky.
That face had now become utterly unfamiliar, transforming into the appearance of a woman!
An aura both familiar and alien emanated from that "Heaven's Will."
He tried every possible means of contacting Heaven's Will, only to find that it was gone...
It had not been blocked. Rather, that connection—that bond with the Primordial Heaven's Will which he had spent endless epochs forging—had snapped. Completely snapped.
An absurd feeling rose in his mind. This Heaven's Will seemed to have... changed hands!
The simplest explanation was possession!
Heaven's Will had been possessed! But what could possess Heaven's Will? A person? Or another Heaven's Will?
The other Primordial Chaos elders rushed to Lin Tianwei's side, every one of their expressions incomparably grim.
"First Elder, it seems... it seems our connection to Heaven's Will has been severed!"
Lin Tianwei remained silent. He found it difficult to accept this reality.
Heaven's Will was still the Heaven's Will of the Primordial Chaos Realm. But it was no longer their Heaven's Will. It was no longer under their control, no longer influenced by them.
Lin Tianwei felt as though the world were spinning around him. Every scheme had fallen through, and he could not accept it...
Slowly, he turned toward the Netherferry Ship.
