The destruction was slow, as it seemed it was not a result of Rowan's action but the Realm shuddering in anticipation of a great change about to transpire.
A scream like a child in pain erupted from all around the Realm that could only be heard by creatures above a certain power level, and fear spread throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm, but the people here were hardy folk, Cultivators they were called, and they held back their fears by lifting high their weapons.
They believed in fighting against the heavens, a tenet passed from the first and only Supreme Ruler of this Realm, long after he had fallen. Sacred Lands opened their long sealed gates and countless Sects began to arm themselves, they did not know where the danger came from, but they all saw the skies turning dark and the suns vanishing in the sky.
"Stop him!"
The powerful figure with ten thousand swords cried out as a green web of lightning surrounded his weapons and an elaborate formation was created that began to drag the Essence from the entire Mountain and Sea Ruin to him, transforming all his swords into ten thousand extremely lifelike dragons with claws of lightning whose roars shook the heavens.
"Wait, stop your actions Ni Tian," The female figure's third eyes opened, "The path of Fate does not necessarily skew towards doom, but to an opportunity."
The figure that resembled a Budha regarded the woman as a large golden palm held back the dragons released by Ni Tian, "Are you sure about this Sparrow, our only opportunity to strike is dwindling away"
She looked flustered for a brief moment before she nodded her head, "We should be aiding this entity, not stand against him, the more of our people who survive this change, the greater the benefits would hold for the future. This I see."
Ni Tian surrounded by his dragons shook his head in disagreement, "No, it can not be risked, I say we stop them first, and then assess their actions to see if we can risk it."
Sparrow sighed, "I cannot interpret the full readings of Fate, but all it points towards is true freedom Ni Tian, not the barest minimum we have been scraping with for millions of years, whether this change comes by destruction or transformation, all it points towards, is freedom!"
The three figures seemed to communicate more intensely between themselves for a few moments more before they all unexpectedly turned around and escaped into the horizon, each of them opened special treasures and began collecting every living being into them, whether it was animals, plants, or people.
