As Tian Chen fainted, the Primordial Double Pupils gazing down upon all living things in the sky dissipated into the heavens.
Even so, every Soul Beast in the Star Dou Great Forest continued trembling uncontrollably. Some were so terrified that "water" and other unidentified substances leaked from their lower bodies!
The Ferocious Beasts in the Great Ferocious Land broke out in cold sweats as well. None of them understood why such turmoil had stirred within them just now.
Every one of them ranked among the strongest beings on the Douluo Continent, yet the moment they saw those eyes, they seemed to have been cast back into their most primitive forms. They were neither Soul Beasts nor Ferocious Beasts, merely a pack of wild animals trembling beneath an ancient divine might.
Di Tian's throat went dry, his voice hoarse. "Those... those eyes. What exactly were they? The Dragon God? Or... an existence even older than the Dragon God?"
The Snow Empress held her sword in one hand, which still trembled slightly. Those eyes had clearly carried no aggression, yet the instant she saw them, she had been unable to stop herself from shaking.
Just then, space split open.
Gu Yuena emerged, carrying Tian Chen in her arms.
At the sight of her, Di Tian immediately dropped to his knees.
"My lord, what exactly were those eyes? Why did they possess such overwhelming majesty? It was as though all living things were mere ants in their gaze."
Gu Yuena did not answer immediately. She lowered her eyes to the unconscious boy in her arms. His face was so pale it was almost translucent, and the purple-gold markings between his brows had yet to fade completely. Like a fissure that had not fully closed, they still released faint traces of residual spiritual fluctuations.
