"Calm down, Rouxi!" Yuan shouted in a somewhat panicked voice as her overwhelming pressure descended on him like a mountain collapsing from above.
"I never gave you permission to use my name, you damn imposter!" Sun Rouxi snapped, her aura growing more violent and powerful.
’Seriously, what the hell is going on?!’ Yuan cried inwardly, completely bewildered and puzzled by the situation.
’Is this part of the trial?’ he couldn’t think of another reason why Sun Rouxi was acting like this.
"I will give you one last chance! Identify yourself! And tell me what you did to Tian Yang!" Sun Rouxi shouted as she retrieved her golden wheel, her entire being seeping with immense killing intent.
"..."
After a moment of silence, Yuan replied, "My name is Yuan. I may not be the Tian Yang you know, but I am definitely Tian Yang."
"What bullshit is that?!" she sneered, refusing to believe him.
This left him perplexed, as he couldn’t think of any other explanation that wouldn’t sound even more crazy.
Eventually, Yuan sighed and asked, "How can you tell that I am not Tian Yang?"
"Your soul," she calmly replied.
"I have never told anyone, but I had developed a technique that allows me to see another’s soul, and your soul is completely different from Tian Yang. No... It’s actually similar, but it’s too old to be Tian Yang."
"My soul, huh?" Yuan muttered.
"Then can you tell how old my soul is?" he then asked.
"I cannot, but I tell that it’s old. In fact, it’s much older than anything I have seen before. Just how old are you?"
"If we’re only talking about the age of my soul, which has experienced several reincarnations and multiple different eras... at least a few hundred million, I guess."
"Several hundred million years old?! There’s no way! I doubt this world is even that old!" she exclaimed.
Yuan shrugged, "I don’t know what else to tell you."
"..."
Sun Rouxi was speechless, but she eventually asked, "What happened to Tian Yang? Is he still alive?"
"Well..."
Yuan wasn’t sure how to explain further.
"Actually—"
Right as he opened his mouth, the entire building shook violently.
"What the...? An earthquake?" Sun Rouxi looked around. "No, that shouldn’t be possible. The entire continent is protected by formations that prevent these sorts of disturbances!"
Yuan spread his divine sense, but he couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
A few seconds later, the building... No, the entire world trembled again.
’Is this caused by an Eternal?’ Yuan wondered inwardly.
The shaking did not stop. In fact, it grew more frequent and violent.
Yuan turned to look at Sun Rouxi and said, "Let’s postpone this conversation for later. Right now, we need to—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Yuan’s vision blurred, and he found himself in a familiar place.
"What the...?"
