Anyone who could see the heavens above them, especially those close to it, heard and saw the crack in the sky. Even those by the sea witnessed the appearance of such a large fissure in the sky. Many mortals believed that it marked the end of the world.
The region of the sky where morning brilliance and a fissured region full of dazzling stars may be seen by the capital's residents. Extre fear filled the hearts of everybody who had witnessed the surrealism over their heads, involving mortals and other living beings.
There is a hidden panic within the city, and most residents are talking about it.
"Have you seen the sky?"
"Yes, it's like a broken mirror. You can see another world above!"
"Is that what is beyond the sky above? But how did the sky break?"
"The world is ending! The world is finally ending! We are all sinners! The gods no longer wanted to protect us!"
"There is still his majesty. He obviously saw the crack in the heavens but told us that it was nothing to worry about. Should we believe him?"
"Isn't he just a mortal like us? What can he know about the thoughts of the gods above?"
"Or maybe the humans had done so many wrongdoings that the world could no longer turn a blind eye to them."
"Forget about it since there is nothing to do anyway. It's better to spend more ti with your family and loved ones at this point."
"Actually, so hunters said they saw soone standing near the crack!"
"Really!? Did they know who it was?"
"They say they can't see their faces well, but they are sure that it is just one person—at least two or more."
"What do you think of their identities? Are they gods of sothing!?"
"Do gods even exist? The evil god in that weird tower, do you think one of those n is him?"
"Shss! You cannot ntion that being. Do you want to be unlucky?"
Naturally, the reports that the world is ending are more than just idle chatter. Since the fractures appeared, there have been nurous small-scale beast riots, as though that hole, or the one who made it whole, frightened every living thing on the planet.
In the Kingdom's Palace...
Wang Xingmo was standing on his castle's roof, observing the opening in the sky from a distance. It was large enough to be visible even in the capital, despite the fact that the fracture was ford just above the Anairam Trench. Even though it was still morning and the light was visible to all, it appeared as though a portion of the heavens had turned to night.
Wang Xingmo said, "Is that the world beyond this one?"
"Yes, it is called space. But if ordinary humans are incapable of breathing in that place, then they would just die if they went there. After all, there is no air in that place," Naless said.
Wang Xingmo was a bit stunned. "No air. So how can you guys explore that world beyond? A god doesn't need to breathe unless it's necessary, is it?"
"Yes. Because their qi, or life energy, would escape their body as they breathe," Naless said.
Naless unexpectedly walked up to Wang Xingmo and gave him a hug as he was staring at him. This ruler did what he pleased, and the expressionless man let it. He was aware that Xingmo was listening to his imaginary heartbeat or respiration.
"You do not have any heartbeat, just as I expected."
"It does when I have to fight with everything. Heartbeats and breathing help the aura circulate in the body, making it stronger and purer," Naless said.
Wang Xingmo closed his eyes and said, "I see."
"The divine one in the tower is not there. He might be one of the people that were seen near the hole," Naless said.
Wamg Xingmo said, "The other one might be the hidden god from the Mo Clan."
"If it's them, then it's possible to close the crack. But since they aren't closing it, that ans they knew who did it. It's not much of a question after all; there are one or two Venerables who can do such a thing," Naless said.
Wang Xingmo sighed. "As expected, it is that couple again."

anwhile, at the Mo Clan's Territory...
Once more, the trio of Heavenly Guardians, comprising Mu Zang, Lu Wangle, and Mo Xinyue, had assembled. They all appear to be in their twenties, or at least the sa generation as Ye Jieye and Lu Shang, but this ti they are playing cards together like retired old n.
"Damn lunatic! Stop peeking at my cards!" Mo Xinyue complained.
Mu Zang snorted and said, "Who told you I'm peeking? It's the Nightmare Beast who wants to look at your cards!"
"Haha~ you both combined can't even beat in card gas; what's the point of fighting for second place?" Lu Wangle said.
Mu Zang and Mo Xinyue glared at Lu Wangle and said, "Shut up!"
Hahaha~
Mo Xinyue surrendered. He can never win when playing card gas with two old bastards.
"No more playing! Let's just grab Lao Gu and play Mahjong this ti."
"You're good at Mahjong. That's why you want to play that ga. Play Chinese chess with then! I want to play that," Mu Zang said.
When they learned that Mu Zang desired to play chess, Lu Wangle and Mo Xinyue withdrew. It is not that the forr is a chess virtuoso or that they are incapable of playing the ga. It was entirely the contrary. Mu Zang is a terrible chess player.
A single chess ga with Mu Zang would take a full night if it was lengthy and half a day if it was short due to his short fuse and tendency to take back moves. They so do not really enjoy having chess gas with him.
These erstwhile old n began to settle down and enjoy their tea after teasing each other for a further round. In order to create tea, Mo Xuejing took a few spiritual tea leaves from the small world and dried them with so mint. For these elderly n who are nearing the end of their lives, this tea leaf is a great source of holy qi from the small world.
They used to only occasionally appreciate it because it was such a unique experience. But now that they were back to being young, they had forgotten about saving this tea and were simply enjoying it.
No matter how much they try to ignore it, the scene above their heads cannot be ignored. That scene of broken heavens was an amazing yet terrifying one.
Mu Zang mumbles, "A world beyond this world, ka."
"Well, that is sothing beyond our reach already. But the brats and our grandchildren may be able to reach it one day," Lu Wangle said as he also looked at the distant scenery with longing.
Mo Xinyue said, "Lord Chaos is not in his mansion. He might be one of the people seen near the crack."
"Is he planning to leave? But his current body is Xue'er's," Mu Zang said.
Lu Wangle said, "My spies told that they had seen the being co out of the Tower of God. He must be interested in the crack as well. Those two are gods, so they should be able to leave as they want."
"But they are there as if waiting. Just what is happening beyond that crack? I hope no monsters will co in instead," Mo Xinyue said in worry.
Mu Zang said, "Even if sothing cos in, those two should be able to do sothing about it. Ah, I miss my grandchildren."
"Did they say that Xiaxia is completely cured and has started growing? I wonder how much our little princess has grown," Lu Wangle said.
Mo Xinyue said, "Thankfully, there is Xiao Ye to help cure our Xiao Xia. When My Xue'er awakened his physique, it sounded so painful that I could even hear his bone cracking. Despite that, my boy never screams in pain. I wonder if I gave too little affection when Xue is just growing. But as an heir, that hardship is sothing he cannot ignore.
I'm still thankful that he is willing to accept our apologies."
"Your grandson is kind. It is just that before he hasn't found the people he can show his feelings openly. But now he would smile with that brat of mine," Mu Zang said.
Lu Wangle cried out and complained. "You guys are still okay. Xiao Ye is still ignoring !"
He was regarded by Mu Zang and Mo Xinyue as if they had no words. Sparring is this old man's technique of making friends. But Ye Jieye would quickly get beaten up every ti this old man asked for more ti with his wife since he wanted to spend more ti with her. Even worse, he repeats the sa action the next day since he does not learn.
"You... Are you a Masochist?" Mu Zang asked abruptly.
Spfft!!!
Mo Xinyue, who was drinking his tea, splurted whatever entered his mouth and coughed. Obviously, he choked when he heard Mu Zang's straight-ball question.
Hahaha~
"Maybe he really is! When Xiao Ye and his family are in the capital, he gets beaten at least once or twice a day."
"I'm not! I'm trying to bond with my grandson!" Lu Wangle said.
Mu Zang retorted, "That's not bonding. That is just you getting beat up by your grandson, who was pissed at you bothering the couple."

In the space above the world...
Seeing his husband bleed from the waist infuriated Mo Xuejing. Not only did Mo Xuejing astonish Ye Jieye with his presence, but the cloak guy was taken aback and retreated instantly.
Stunned, Ye Jieye calls, "A'Mo... Baby?" He imdiately changed his way of calling when he saw Juedi in Mo Xuejing's hand. There is only one person in the world who can wield such a natal weapon.
"Jing'er?!"
Mo Xuejing frowned when he saw how much Ye Jieye was bleeding. "What the hell are you doing?! Stop wasting your ti and heal the wound!"
"Okay." Ye Jieye instantly focused on his wife's orders and started healing his wound. He knew that the scent of his blood must have summoned his other half here.
Mo Xuejing saw the man in front of his eyes and instantly positioned protectively next to Ye Jieye. The hand holding Juedi trembled as soon as he glimpsed the man's figure and hidden face, which is an exact replica of his husband.
"Baby, I can explain."
"What is this? Isn't your soul supposed to be complete already? How can he have your appearance?" Mo Xuejing asked as he looked shocked.
Ye Jieye said, "Baby, that is not my soul fragnt. That's the World Eater's soul fragnt. A corrupted one."
"A corrupted soul fragnt. Why does this World Eater's appearance match yours? Is it because of your blood? He ate it?" Mo Xuejing asked.
Ye Jieye desired to inform his spouse about the man's existence as a Sentient Soul Fragnt of a World Eater and about his presence in the tower. Nonetheless, he decides to use his wife's misunderstanding of him as a valid justification.
"Maybe? But it also ate Roi's tail just now," Ye Jieye said, but he didn't notice the short silence from his wife. "Jing'er?"
"Talk later. How to defeat it?" Mo Xuejing asked as he held his scythe in a manner that's ready to attack anyti.
Ye Jieye said, "Baby, you just need to restrain it and leave the rest to ."
"Okay, I will try to stop its movents."
As they struck the cloak guy in tandem, Mo Xuejing shouted sothing that made the cloak man even more enraged. The man yelled again, but this ti the voice that erged from his lips was a howl from a monster rather than a human scream.
