Bang... crackle and pop...
The windows and doors of the five-story residential building looked as if they had been hit hard, with shards of glass and wood falling down in a flurry.
In an instant, Li Hao and Chen Guanshan transformed into two streaks of light and rushed into it.
Only a loud shout remained, echoing nearby:
"An unforeseen event has occurred. No one else is allowed to enter without authorization. Maintain order and evacuate nearby people."
Then, a large group of uniformed sheriffs suddenly appeared on the streets that had seemed no different from any other day.
The nearby residents, alarmed, fled their homes.
Unlike in the past when such incidents would attract a large crowd of onlookers, now most people understand the importance of staying away from danger without needing anyone's advice.
A new and hopeful life has arrived, and no one wants to casually throw their life away in irrelevant conflicts.
Even in the residential buildings that were the "targets," some people staggered away, while many others, relying on their strength and physique, jumped straight out of the broken windows.
In an instant, a cacophony of noise and confusion arose.
In a relatively spacious room on the rooftop, Li Hao and his companion were watching warily as a group of people sat in a circle, slumped on the floor.
Their bodies glowed with an abnormal red light, as if they had been baked by scorching flames, their clothes were completely gone, and steam hissed from their heads.
Strangely, they did not die; they were just dazed, breathing rapidly, and their pupils were dilated.
"They were just frightened, and their vital signs are normal."
Chen Guanshan made his judgment in a low voice.
Li Hao casually tore off a corner of his shirt and threw it at the person whose body was covered in red. Before it even touched the other person's skin, the corner of the shirt burned to ashes.
"They're still alive... It seems the intense heat I felt just now wasn't an illusion. Ask them what happened."
"Shouldn't we pray beforehand?"
"It's just asking you to guide the questions, not asking you to invade their mental world."
A gentle spiritual force emanated from him. Chen Guanshan crouched down, looked at the person with a blank expression, and asked gently, "Could you describe what just happened?"
After a few breaths, Chen Guanshan asked in confusion:
"They were performing a ceremony to communicate with the stars...and then they saw the sun and people..."
He pointed to the very center where everyone was sitting, "And there is the one who presided over the ceremony and received the blessing of the stars."
Li Hao glanced sideways and saw a tiny, inconspicuous wisp of ash.
...
Through the ritual held by the "Creator," Meng Yi saw the four "Lords of the Stars" once again.
Perhaps it was the Creator's intention, but this time, the four were no longer terrifying and unfathomable extraterrestrial shadows in his perception, but he was able to see their full appearance.
First and foremost was a dazzling light that seemed to encompass countless starlight; it had no concrete form, it was just a mass of starlight.
This should be the true form of the "Lord of the Stars".
The second one was a bottomless abyss, which inexplicably reminded Meng Yi of a "black hole." Of course, it was just a resemblance; he couldn't say for sure what it was.
He seems to be able to contain all things and should be the "Lord of Procreation".
The third is a terrifying, shriveled "corpse," not a human, but a desolate, ruined, flesh-and-blood giant planet.
This should be "the withered master amidst thorns".
The fourth one is a wisp of golden dust, ethereal and magnificent, as if it contains infinite truths.
This should be the "God of Justice".
Of course, Meng Yi immediately came up with new names for these four people.
"Stars", "Dark Abyss", "Wilderness", "Golden Radiance".
I wonder if they will like it.
At this moment, in Meng Yi's perception, these four figures and a blazing sun were facing each other in the void, with an exceptionally vast torrent of information alternating back and forth.
