As an excellent weapon refining material, the Shade Stones caused fights among warriors every time they appeared in the Source World.
Even this time was no exception...
Although the Blood Sea Province was relatively desolate, it used to be a territory of the Bearing race.
When the Shade Stone appeared out of nowhere, dozens of warriors at the Other Shore Realm scrambled to get close to it–gathering in a circle surrounding it.
"In just two months, two Shade Stones have appeared in the Source World..."
"Who will take this Shade Stone?"
"Should we hand it over to the Ji Clan?"
Although Yellow Thearch had been killed and the Bearing race scarcely annihilated, the Evil God didn't kill the entire clan. The Ji Clan was left standing.
Suddenly, one of the warriors from the crowd started to tremble.
The other warriors were struck with fear as they watched him. The Evil God had once come to the Blood Sea Province to slaughter, and had occupied many people's bodies. Several warriors at the Other Shore Realm had been possessed by the Evil God, so they easily recognized what was happening.
In the blink of an eye, the warrior transformed into the looks of the Evil God.
"Hand it over to the Ji Clan?" The Evil God raised his eyebrows at the warrior who said it.
The warrior felt chills across his body as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. "N-no, of course, we'll hand it over to you..."
The Evil God snorted faintly and looked at the Shade Stone in deep thought.
He showed a confused look and stared at the warrior. The warrior's body shook continuously, and before he could even speak, his body turned into another Evil God.
"The Shade Stone is said to be used as a timer. It recently appeared so frequently. Does this mean that the chaotic era is nearing its end?" the Evil God asked threateningly.
"That should be the case..." the second Evil God replied.
"But the chaos has already undergone a drastic change. In what way will it come to an end?"
"No one can predict..."
"Let the master ask the Bird Masters. Maybe they know."
"Well, what I care about isn't the end of chaos. Since the Snake Spirit King wants to complete the downgrade, he must have considered the possible end of the chaos. What I'm curious about are the shadows I just saw."
"Haven't we talked about them last time?" one of the Evil Gods recalled. "The Shade Stone itself exists as a timer of the chaos. When it appears, it will cause a disorder in the time sequence. The shadows will then be seen," he added.
"I don't think so. If the time sequence is really out of order, the number of each of our shadows should be the same; but the number of each avatar's shadows and the master's shadows varied greatly. These shadows are probably other versions of ourselves!"
All the avatars of the Evil God were divided on their opinions of the shadows.
Some thought that it was just caused by the disorder in the time sequence, while others felt that there were really other 'versions' of themselves. These 'versions' were usually hidden within their bodies, and could only be observed when the time sequence was in disorder.
"So what if they were really other versions of ourselves? They have always existed with us in sync. Normally, we don't even notice them. They mean nothing..."
"As long as they exist, it means something..." one insisted.
The dilemma also troubled the real Evil God.
He leaned against the wall listening to the avatars' arguments. He also became confused about the shadows.
"Eh?"
This time, the real Evil God felt the excitement from the heart of an avatar. An avatar who was squatting on a corner of the square suddenly burst into laughter, causing the other avatars to look at him puzzledly.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Spit it out. What's so funny?"
"Anything you might want to tell us? Just say it..."
