"Intuition," this vague and ephemeral subjective feeling, is not something that can be overlooked here.
In the White Tower, Prophets, Observers, and Explorers of the Spirit Realm often gain premonitions of certain dangers through "intuition," with Iyeta, hailed as the strongest Prophet of the century, using "intuition" for predictions.
Beyond that, powerful Fire Holders occasionally receive such intuitions as well, and some scholars believe that this might be the result of some disturbance in the Spirit Realm resonating with the Soul by chance.
Though it’s not always correct, it’s worth taking seriously.
The stronger, stranger, and rarer the characteristic, the more seriously it should be taken.
The Black Fog is one such Fire Spark Characteristic.
Its functionalities are too numerous to count, so strange that it hardly seems like a Fire Spark, and so rare that not a second one could be found in the entire Great Book Library.
With the addition of the mysterious disappearances of the monsters, Herman somewhat believed it.
But he did not immediately agree to it; instead, he sought confirmation from the White Tower again.
At this moment, the White Tower was also deeply shocked.
Many were gathered in the Spirit Realm Hall, seeking traces of that peculiar anomaly in the Spirit Realm.
The sudden disappearance of the invading Spirit Realm Monster’s Spiritual Power Wave was unprecedented,
and the Master of White Tower, Meredith, as well as the Great Prophet Iyeta, were both present.
High Rank Prophets and top-tier Observers were frantically probing at the Spiritual Power Instruments.
Everyone was eager to find out the reason, hoping to gain a deeper understanding of the Spirit Realm.
Suddenly, someone had a wild idea, "Could it have stealthily entered the Material World without a sound?"
"Idiot, unless it has fallen into a dormant state, the Spiritual Power Wave cannot simply vanish from the eyes of the Big Eye."
The Big Eye is a miracle creation at the pinnacle of the White Tower, capable of detecting the slightest Spiritual Power Wave, a Divine Artifact the White Tower uses for observing the Spirit Realm, scanning the surroundings, and guarding against the depths of the Black Fog.
In theory, the Big Eye can sense the Spiritual Power Wave from the ends of the universe, beyond the stars.
Of course, that’s impossible in reality.
Any entity with Spiritual Energy will emit a Spiritual Power Wave, and countless waves mingling together resemble a boundless desert.
Within each grain of sand in this desert, even finer ripples are interwoven.
To distinguish them, specific positional data are required.
The greater the distance, the more data is needed.
But conversely, once locked onto, it won’t be easily lost.
When the Chaotic Monster charged towards them at accelerated speed, a set of such distinctive data was produced, making it different from other Spiritual Power Waves.
This provided a basis for differentiation.
The White Tower immediately took notice, specially analyzing this cluster of Spiritual Power Wave data, trying to "isolate" it.
And as the Chaotic Monster tried to penetrate the barriers of space, the White Tower had already pinpointed its location, closely monitoring its every move.
Just then, something unimaginable happened—the monster’s Spiritual Power Wave disappeared.
Even with one percent of the Big Eye’s power allocated, it couldn’t be found again.
"...Do you think it could have died?" Another person suggested.
"Impossible, its Spiritual Power Wave showed no signs of trouble; it just vanished abruptly. A monster of that strength cannot be killed instantly."
"Right, if there were a battle, there would certainly be a large-scale disturbance in the Spiritual Power Wave."
"Maybe it fell asleep while crossing the spatial barriers and entered a dormant state."
"Hah, you think the monster is as brainless as you? Able to fall asleep during vigorous activity?"
The person’s face turned red with anger, and he argued vehemently, "Nothing is impossible! Your view is too narrow!"
Arguments rose and fell in the hall, with everyone holding different opinions, each trying to persuade the others.
But no one succeeded.
In the center of the hall, several seasoned top-tier Observers were reporting to Meredith and Iyeta.
"Your Excellency, we re-analyzed the nearby Spiritual Power Waves, and after reintroducing the previously filtered-out noise, we’ve discovered a peculiar phenomenon."
A top-tier Observer presented a paper filled with blurry specks of light and tangled lines.
"Look here, there is a strange Spiritual Power Pulse, very brief and fleeting, as if something had exploded."
"Following this pulse, we found a faint Spiritual Power Wave moving at inconceivable speed—falling from the upper layers and vanishing the moment it passed through the Chaotic Monster."
Iyeta furrowed her eyebrows.
"What do you mean by this? Are you implying that this powerful Spirit Realm Monster was killed by something as insignificant as dust in a single strike?"
The top-tier Observer deeply bowed his head.
"Your Excellency, I dare not make such a claim, but this coincidence is too strange."
Iyeta’s tone became harsh, "You can’t explain things away as coincidence; whenever we face a crisis, a mysterious and powerful Spirit Realm being intervenes to help us? That’s a very dangerous idea. Haven’t you seen the research from the Divine Prayer Room? Gods are dead, the strange usurp their thrones, prayers are madness, and the response is a curse."
The top-tier Observers hastily apologized.
This was a taboo for Trolians bought with numerous painful lessons.
Many had once believed in the existence of gods, that perhaps behind the vast Black Fog, there hid a powerful Savior who would emerge and restore light to the world.
