192 A little invisible shadow 1 (1/2)

Though the spear with three prongs had vanished from Bone Spirit Town, the artificially implanted afternoon sky refused to quell.

Hence, the citizens of the continent were forced to usher themselves out of their beds, permitted to enjoy an extra half day of daylight as a reward.

Though this reward, nobody wanted!

Give our pitiful, well-deserved sleep back!

The farmers complained in their hearts, their minds flitting to their sore and nearly torn muscles and the work that awaited them in the fields.

Scholars groaned in their misery to have been deprived of their few hours of sleep, forced to study beyond a limit their minds could endure.

Practitioners rolled in their abodes as they howled towards the sky in objection, demanding for the expected compensation for ruining their precious nighttime.

Save for a glum Lu Jing Yi, the emperors and influential ministers of the continent struck a finger towards the artificial afternoon, the dissatisfied sighs of their concubines and wives prompting angered veins to erupt on their countenances.

Thus, almost everyone that stood in the Shattered Star Continent followed a single routine.

Straighten thy back and ignore the burning pain in the abdominal and pelvic muscles!

Stretch and relax the muscles and ligaments of the right arm, rolling back the sleeve to expose the flesh to the sky.

And with a deep breath that infused thy sincerity into the soul, unleash a powerful uppercut towards the sky with only the middle finger extended, a sorrowful cry to be expelled from thy lungs!

”Damned heavens, give my fu*king sleep back, right now!”

BOOM!

The sky quaked in anger at the unified disrespect, seriously debating to itself whether it was wise to dispatch a heavenly calamity onto every standing human on the continent.

The afternoon, cloudless sky quivered with slivers of lightning as it stamped its feet with anger, before capitulating with an uneasy sigh.

The fault wasn't even on its head, so why were the people complaining to it with such vigor and strength?

Not my fault, go stick your fingers to the real culprit!

The skies roared back towards the hundreds of billions of humans living on the Shattered Star Continent, the soundless howl causing numerous mountain peaks to be blasted from the rest of their bodies.

Horrifying gales struck the corners of the earth, and another portion of the earth's groundwater reserves were stolen as punishment.

As if to pummel the disrespectful mortals in the mortal world, the skies recalled the dissipating natural disasters that had been enhanced by the three-pronged spear's intervention, only to amplify it by a considerable magnitude.

”You roar at me, I roar at you!”

Thus, on this artificial day, numerous sects were toppled from their feet from a slew of earthquakes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, and fires.

Some were even submerged with tsunamis that had traversed hundreds of kilometers inland, simply to vent the sky's anger.

As lucky as it ever was, Bone Spirit Town no longer housed the calamitous object, the spear with three prongs.

Thus, the only mishap that the citizens experienced afterwards was a massive rise in temperature for the day, causing thousands of people to collapse onto the ground with a painful groan.

When the sun finally glanced from behind its horizon to begin its tedious and usually non-rewarding task, it couldn't help but gawk in confusion.

Why was the sky already so bright, when it was so early in the morning?

…and what the hell happened to the earth in a mere few hours?

As if sensing the ball of fire's confusion, the mortal denizens all prepared themselves to enact their prepared routine for a second time.

After a shiver and angry bellow, everyone sighed and returned to their daily lives.

Although, that daily life had to be repeated twice for that day.

After cruelly ditching the little raven and the small fox in a safe and secure area, the young girl fled to the Sanctum.

Reaching the haven of sky-blue crystal, An Fei collapsed to the ground to hug her knees, her teeth chattering in fright.

”Ah… ah… ah….”
