"I see it, you step back a bit."
Ye Ling didn't seem surprised by the statue on the stone door moving, pulling Ye Qingyan aside.
Ye Qingyan looked at the moving statue on the stone door with disbelief and asked Ye Ling, "Aren't you shocked? The statue on the stone door moved!"
Ye Ling chuckled, "It's just an illusion caused by spatial distortion. The statues on both stone doors were crafted by the same person, and there's a connection between them. The two stone doors are reacting to each other."
"Reacting?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Ye Qingyan looked at the stone doors with curiosity. She noticed colorless spiritual energy flowing between the two stone doors, as if trying to connect them.
Ye Ling continued to explain, "The grooves on the stone doors just now were the mechanism to activate this magnetic field. As far as I can tell, the stone doors in this village are the cathode, and the stone door I brought is the anode. The two doors should be a pair."
Ye Qingyan asked curiously, "What kind of reaction will there be between them?"
"I don't know that, as I'm not the one who built these doors. But in a little while, we'll know what connection these two doors have."
"Oh..."
Ye Qingyan nodded as if she understood, her gaze falling on the statues on the two stone doors. Suddenly, her head felt a bit dizzy, and an inexplicable sleepiness washed over her.
"Wh-what's happening?"
Ye Qingyan blinked hard, resisting the sleepiness with her will. When she opened her eyes again and looked at the stone doors, she found that the statues on them had disappeared!
"Ye Ling, the statues are gone... Ye Ling?"
Ye Qingyan turned to speak to Ye Ling, only to find that Ye Ling had also disappeared. She was the only one left in the square!
"Is this an illusion?"
Ye Qingyan didn't believe Ye Ling had abandoned her and left alone. She quickly pinched her arm, but the real pain kept eroding her nerves!
"This isn't an illusion..."
Feeling the pain, Ye Qingyan broke out in a cold sweat. She quickly looked around for Ye Ling's trace.
"Ye Ling!"
Ye Qingyan called out, but in this desolate village, there was only her, so quiet it was chilling.
At this moment, two beams of golden light descended from the sky. Ye Qingyan quickly looked up and saw the sky transform into a galaxy. Two men stood on opposite sides of the galaxy, facing each other.
Although Ye Qingyan couldn't see the faces of the two men clearly, she could recognize the clothes they were wearing...
Those two men were the two kings carved on the stone doors!
"Wh-what is going on..."
Suddenly seeing the figures in the statues come to life, Ye Qingyan was utterly shocked. Before she could figure out what was happening, she suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, finding herself no longer in the desolate village but in the galaxy.
The two men began to fight. With a flick of their fingers, they shattered the starry river and distorted time and space. The vast power surging from their every move made it impossible for Ye Qingyan to imagine how powerful these two combatants were!
However, before she could finish watching the battle between the two great beings, the scene shifted again, and she found herself in a void, surrounded by darkness, with nothing else.
In this darkness, she could faintly hear the sound of explosions coming from a great distance, as if hundreds of thousands, even millions, of collisions were happening every second!
And every so often, galaxies would manifest around her. She could see that the two great beings from before were still fighting, but whenever they clashed, the newly formed galaxies would instantly be annihilated, and the surroundings would return to darkness.
"Did they fight away time and space?" Ye Qingyan whispered, utterly shocked. "What terrifying power?"
She dared not imagine how the world could exist with such beings alive.
Then, she felt a tearing sensation and a wave of dizziness.
Although the surroundings were still dark, she knew she must have reached the next stage.
As expected, two clusters of light appeared in the darkness. She could see the two heavily wounded great beings grappling with each other. However, unlike before, when they could destroy galaxies with a single move, this time the two great beings were like ordinary mortals fighting fiercely. They had no spiritual energy, only throwing punches and kicks, even resorting to choking!
"Did they run out of spiritual energy? What deep hatred do they have... to still be fighting to this extent?"
Ye Qingyan sighed, unable to fathom any reason that would make two supreme beings fight to such a degree without giving up.
But at this moment, a pair of eyes, larger than the sun, suddenly appeared in the darkness, staring intently at the two great beings grappling together, utterly terrifying!
Those eyes were so terrifying that their gaze didn't even fall on Ye Qingyan, yet she turned pale and her legs went weak from fear.
"Wh-what is that?"
Ye Qingyan shivered. She swore... she had never seen such terrifying eyes in her entire life!
Then, a hand larger than a galaxy reached out from the darkness, reaching for the two great beings who were grappling.
Seeing the giant hand, Ye Qingyan instinctively warned the two great beings, "Be careful!!!"
However, Ye Qingyan's words had no effect. The two great beings were seized by the hand and dragged into the darkness.
Those colossal eyes blinked twice and then disappeared.
After an unknown amount of time, galaxies reappeared around her, and Ye Qingyan's vision brightened again. But the two great beings who had been fighting had vanished.
Ye Qingyan stared blankly at the vast starry sky, murmuring, "What was it that I saw?"
"Qingyan?"
"Ye Qingyan!"
At this moment, Ye Qingyan faintly heard Ye Ling's voice. She suddenly woke up, realizing she was still standing in the village. The two stone doors stood in the square, their statues still in place.
And Ye Ling was beside her.
There was no change in her surroundings.
"Ye Ling? I'm back?" Ye Qingyan saw Ye Ling beside her, still unable to recover, still thinking about the scenes she had just witnessed.
Ye Ling asked with concern, "What happened to you? You suddenly fell asleep."
Ye Qingyan shook her slightly dizzy head and said, "I think I went to a strange place and saw many strange things. Didn't you experience those illusions?"
Ye Ling shook his head, "No... the magnetic field intensity surging within these two stone doors is not enough to affect my soul. Tell me, what did you see?"
Ye Qingyan didn't hide anything, describing all the scenes she had seen in that real illusion to Ye Ling in detail.
After listening to Ye Qingyan, Ye Ling said solemnly, "It seems the battle you witnessed was the battle between the two creator gods back then, and those eyes and the giant hand at the end should belong to the residual evil race."
Ye Qingyan asked curiously, "You know who they are?"
Ye Ling nodded slightly, "I have some understanding, but the matters involved are too vast, and I can't explain them clearly in a short time. It's best for you not to get involved in this matter for now."
With that, Ye Ling was about to put away the stone door, when he suddenly noticed a red rune mark on Ye Qingyan's wrist!
