This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Lu Yin watched as the Evernight card slowly fell into his hand. "If my suspicions are true, then I hope to one day lead humanity to break past this false sky to see the true sky and the true universe.
"I hope that, one day, I can allow everyone to make their own rules and restore true freedom!"
There was a snap, and the sky opened. A dark line appeared, and it stretched out of sight of everyone who looked up.
This was the Hollow, and it had appeared without any reason at all. It broke the sky open and split the ground below, making it look like the universe had been split asunder.
Shan Gu, Sovereign Shao Yin, Xu Wuwei, and the other peak powerhouses all stared upwards in shock, none of them understanding what was happening. No enemy had attacked—in fact, there had been no attack at all. Despite that, space had just broken open.
More accurately, it was not a spatial tear. Rather, reality itself had been torn apart as far as anyone could see. This was not space or the void that had been split, but reality itself. The fabric of the universes that everyone understood to be all that existed had been cracked open.
On the floating island, Lu Yin was badly startled. He felt as though thunder had just exploded in his mind, and it caused his hands to tremble so badly that he nearly dropped the card in his hand.
He looked up; were the Aeternals attacking?
Everyone was blown away, and they all stared blankly at the sky.
The black crack looked like a massive mouth that spread across the entire universe, wanting to swallow everything.
At this moment, a flash of white light emerged from the dark crack. Was it a corner of the card?
Anywhere else, where people were not actively trying to attract cards, this detail might have been overlooked, but during the Shangsan Festival, everyone recognized the appearance of a card’s corner.
In the Hollow that split the universe, the corner of a card had appeared. The moment it appeared, the Evernight that Lu Yin was holding trembled, and then as he let out a gasp, it slipped away.
Lu Yin looked down to see that his new card had just escaped.
High up above, in the Hollow, the cards started to appear one after another. It looked like they were about to pop out into the visible universe.
Cards that had been hidden across the floating island started to appear and disappear, almost as though they were worshiping the card that had appeared in the Hollow.
Everyone who saw this felt confused. Why had a card appeared in the Hollow? It seemed as though it was trying to break away from something and was struggling to descend, but it also gave off the impression that it was accepting the worship of all the present cards.
No one could understand what was happening.
Only Shan Gu stared at the corner of the card that had appeared, and his eyes grew incredibly sharp, while he also became extremely excited. His entire body was trembling. It’s true! The legends are true! Those cards truly do exist!
There was not a single one of these cards in the Lost Clan’s possession, but Shan Gu had watched the Evernight appearance, and Shan Gu had also seen how the card that Xuan Qi should have been holding had disappeared without a trace.
It’s that kid! He’s the one who attracted that card.
Just when everyone thought that the card that had appeared in the Hollow would descend, it suddenly pulled back and disappeared. The Hollow that had opened up also started to slowly disappear. In the space of a single breath, it had already disappeared entirely, as though it had never even been there.
The universe returned to normal.
People glanced at each other in confusion, and then all of the peak powerhouses present turned to Shan Gu. Unless they were mistaken by what they had just seen, a card had appeared in the Hollow, and cards belonged to the Lost Clan. However, what in the world was that card?
The card clearly existed In the Hollow, which was beyond the understanding of even Sovereign Shao Yin and Xu Wuwei. Were there truly cards hidden in the Hollow?
Everyone wanted an explanation from the Lost Clan.
Even more importantly, who had drawn out that card?
Shan Gu abruptly took action, and he sealed off the central floating island. "Everyone, the Shangsan Festival is now over. Please return to your respective universes, and please forgive my Lost Clan for any lack of hospitality that we may have shown you."
As soon as the man finished speaking, people started flying out from the central floating island. All of them were foreigners who had participated in the Shangsan Festival.
Sovereign Shao Yin's eyes turned steely. "Senior Shan Gu, no Shangsan Festival has ever ended early. Is this related to the card that just appeared? May I ask about that ca-"
Shan Gu replied before the Sovereign had even finished speaking. "Sovereign Shao Yin, this concerns my Lost Clan’s internal affairs and is none of your concern. Please return!"
Sovereign Shao Yin's expression changed, as Shan Gu's attitude was clearly no longer friendly.
Xu Wuwei gave a slight smile. "It seems that your Lost Clan really does have cards beyond the Immemorial level, and there are also cards hidden in the Hollow. This is quite intriguing, haha."
He then left without voicing a single question.
Chen Le glanced at the central island before also taking his leave.
Right after that, Sage Jiang and Bureau Director Gan left, and Mu Ke also emerged from the floating island. Sovereign Shao Yin was unwilling to leave without learning anything, but Shan Zheng approached and gestured for the Sovereign to move away from the area. Sovereign Shao Yin had no choice but to leave with a sullen expression on his face.
In the end, only Xu Heng remained behind, and there was a frown on his face. "Where is my junior brother, Xuan Qi?"
All outsiders who had participated in the Shangsan Festival had been cast out of the central island, except for Lu Yin. Xu Wuwei had noticed this, but he had not cared. Chen Le had also noticed, but he was similarly unconcerned. Xu Heng alone had stayed back to ask about Xuan Qi.
Shan Zheng replied, "Grand Elder has taken care of things for him. Brother Heng, please head on back. You don’t need to worry, as nothing will happen to Xuan Qi."
Xu Heng took a deep breath. This was his first time attending a Shangsan Festival, and yet such a strange matter had occurred. He did not know who had drawn that card from the Hollow, and he also had no idea what would happen to Xuan Qi.
"My junior brother attracted a seven-star Immemorial card, which might create problems with your Lost Clan, but please don’t make things difficult for him. After all, he has met with Lord Xu himself and received his approval." Xu Heng gave a subtle warning before leaving. He wanted to catch up to Xu Wuwei and ask the older man to reach out to Lord Xu.
The importance that seven-star Immemorial cards held for the Lost Clan was self-evident. Xuan Qi alone had been kept behind, so he had to be in trouble.
No one other than Shan Gu had noticed that the Evernight card had disappeared, and this was also why Shan Gu had immediately sealed off the floating island. He did not want anyone to know that the card from the Hollow had frightened the Evernight card away and made it disappear from Xuan Qi’s hand.
At this moment, the only people remaining on the floating island were members of the Lost Clan and Lu Yin.
Lu Yin glanced around in a daze; where had his Immemorial card gone? It had vanished, disappeared completely, and the card from the Hollow had not fully appeared. What did that mean? Had Lu Yin failed to exchange his card?
He wanted to leave, but an unseen power stopped him.
"Xuan Qi, right?" Shan Gu stepped out and smiled at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin looked over, startled by the old man’s sudden appearance. There was no hesitation as Lu Yin offered a quick bow. "This junior is indeed Xuan Qi. I wonder who you might be, Senior?"
