Chapter 5762: A Bet?
Eventually, the figure chose inaction and didnât move from his expanse.
Li Qiye smirked and said: âBetting on this, I see.â
âDid you say something, Young Noble?â Lingâer looked up at him, confused.
âNothing, I saw someone, thatâs all.â He responded.
âThe-thereâs someone else here?â This scared her and made her look left and right, only to see no one. The coffin before them didnât help either.
âTheyâre gone.â He smiled.
âDid you see a ghost?â Lingâer didnât know that within a split second, two lords had just calculated many things while fixing gazes.
He smiled and gently patted her head: âWhere are you going to find ghosts? Plus, people are scarier than ghosts anyway.â
âPeople are scarier?â She was surprised to hear this.
Meanwhile, the star circled the coffin repeatedly, seemingly excited. It tapped on the coffin, telling Li Qiye that something amazing was inside.
The cloud stared at the star with contempt, not wanting to be associated with this fellow.
Li Qiye answered with a smile: âNow you think the trip was worth it?â
Of course, there was a distinct difference between the two - the woman in the coffin had a circular seal on her chest. Lingâer only had hers visible when activated by Li Qiyeâs primordial light.
The womanâs seal was pulsing and surprisingly, it had an identical star to Li Qiyeâs as well. His star saw this and became excited, releasing bright light.
The coffinâs star also had a distinct difference - a rune woven mysteriously into the shape of a cross was on top of its center. The rune appeared older than time itself - staring at it meant witnessing the moment of creation itself - the primordial chaos.
When one looked too long, they would find themselves witnessing their own life - from the moment of birth as a crying infant entering the world to the present.
Gazing longer could give them glimpses of the future - achieving greatness or remaining anonymous until death...
This rune wasnât embedded with the star. Upon closer inspection, it was merely placed on top of the star and the woman.
It released starry particles onto the star, causing it to become resplendent inside the hallowed center of the seal. Was this star made from the accumulation of these particles across the eras?
Li Qiyeâs star gazed excitedly at the rune and pointed at it, telling Li Qiye that this was it.
The cloud no longer had a look of disdain. It also became excited and ran around, telling Li Qiye about the runeâs extraordinary nature.
Li Qiye himself paid careful attention to the runeâs inscrutable mysteries. This was beyond the comprehension of any being in the world, Li Qiye included.
They spanned from the primordial chaos and encompassed all the epochs to the present. All existences and derivations could be found within.
âHmm...â Li Qiye focused for a while before concluding: âIt is still missing something, incomplete.â
At this moment, his star started revolving around the rune.
