In that instant, Shenjing lost all sound.
Desolate, silent, even... silent extinction.
A quietness akin to death spread across the world.
And all eyes, all hopes, followed with the upward tilt of each Shenjing resident's head, and the gaze of countless pupils, focused on the Divine Beheading Platform.
Determination. Confidence.
Almost, to the point of faith.
So that when the blue-green Sword Lotus, suspended in the Heavenly Dome, the mountainous Spirit Stone core, truly burst forth with brilliance far beyond the stars, they didn't even immediately see it, nor feel fear.
—Go! Forbidden Army! You can definitely do it!
—The Town King is here, the Grand Governor and the Grandmaster are here, if these pillars of Da Chen act, then this An Jing... was this Heavenly Mandate the name? They will definitely be suppressed!
—Damn those government officials, aren't they usually so arrogant when they bully us? They can't be lacking when dealing with outsiders!
