Chapter 1113 We're Losing Our Minds Here

(MC POV)

So… I'm now floating through the void of space alongside everyone else that had been present inside the Grand Courtyard.

Quite a number of them were understandably panicking and flailing around while the other more experienced Practitioners were trying to protect themselves and those around them.

At least this confirmed that those guys were abnormal since almost everyone was also surprised by this turn of events. Heck, even the people from the countries of Mei and Han were panicking too.

"Wheee~ Papa! Floaty floaty!" Cai Hong giggled while swimming through the air.

"Master? What's going on?" Lian Li asked while floating upside down next to me.

"Well, space got shattered by those two so we all got sucked into a void in space."

"Isn't this a problem, Master?" Brendan pointed out while slowly spinning around.

I shrugged, "I already made it such that no one can die here so it's fine. Besides, it doesn't look like those two are stopping anytime soon."

As though on cue, Initiate Hei and Private Bai flew towards each other and clashed again, causing the space around them to distort once more.

It seems like the fight between them has turned personal with each party trying to prove that they were stronger than the other, neither of them even caring about their surroundings anymore.

Meanwhile, the other Sects were trying to calm their members and assuring everyone that things were under control.

I helped by relaying a message to everyone that they had nothing to worry about and surprisingly, that seemed to calm everyone from the countries of Beiyang and Sun.

Probably because they knew who I was and thus trusted my words easily.

Unfortunately, the people from the Mei and Han didn't trust me as easily and most of them were still floundering about in space.

Guiying then straightened herself, "Master Lin has already given His word that everyone is fine, does the fact that all of you are still living and breathing not a testament to that fact?! So why don't all of you stop embarrassing yourselves and trust His words?!"

Oh wow, Guiying can be scary when she's serious. I guess that's where her Monarch's authority comes from.

Her outburst seemed to have an effect as most of them calmed down afterwards, settling themselves as much as they could while floating in the void even as the two Practitioners continued to battle amongst themselves.

"Wouldn't it be a better idea to just change things back to normal, Aniue?" Tsuki asked.

I grinned, "Well, being able to adapt and change the battlefield is also part of a talent right? Besides, this is the perfect opportunity for everyone to see how a zero G battle looks like."

My disciples nodded at my words in understanding before turning to pay attention to the fight, all of them taking notes from the two fighters in front of us.

To be honest… The real reason why I have yet to change it back was because I got curious about these two Practitioners and what they were going to do. Obviously they weren't normal people to be able to use Techniques as advanced as this so I wanted to see what else they would do.

'Ara, ara? Can't Master just use Omniscience as always? Or is Master trying to keep things interesting again?'

Haha, most definitely the latter, Iris. You're learning~

'Ufufufu~ I have Master as my teacher, after all~'

Umu, umu, that's good. I'll give you some head pats later.

'Ara, ara? Master really does spoil me~ It might make the others jealous though, so perhaps Master should do it in a place that they can't see~ Ufufufu~'

Oh? At least she's aware of it. But that's just an excuse so that you can get me to pat you all you want without interruption, right?

'Ufufufu~ As expected of Master to see through my desires~ But is it really fine to let everyone stay here?'

Hmmm? What do you mean?

'Ara? Has Master not noticed? We were all sent to the Abyss, you know~'

What?

There was a sudden scream somewhere in the crowd which prompted a whole bunch of people to start screaming as well.

I turned around and looming over everyone else was a single giant eye staring down at everyone.

"What in the world is that?!"

"Monster! Monster!"

"Where are we?!"

What is happening?! I'm melting!! I'm… I'm meltwaauuughhh…"

"Blurarghh… Wuuarrgghhh!!"

What the hell is happening to them? That Great One isn't even doing anything and they're acting like they got hit by a curse or something.

'Ara, ara? That's the normal reaction when a mortal sees a cosmic being like them, Master. Their mortal minds are not able to comprehend what they are seeing and that's the result~ All of them are probably losing their sanity as we speak.'

Ah… I err… Forgot about that… I guess I should just reverse time or something and get everyone back to normal aga--

""Get lost!!""

Initiate Hei and Private Bai weren't even affected by the presence of the Great One and even launched an attack at the giant eye, somehow succeeding to blast it back a few metres.

What the hell? Does this mean they aren't mortals? Well that explains their skills I guess… But then who  the hell are they in that case?!

Iris proceeded to order the Great One to leave while I restored the sanity of everyone who was affected, including my disciples who have yet to ascend.

Elaria had started mumbling some really weird mathematical equations while Brendan started giggling for no reason.

Diao Chan was… Err… Well… She started moaning and stripping herself so I had to cover her up before I restored her sanity.

The other Practitioners weren't faring any better as they all did very weird things while affected by that Great One.

It was quite a bizarre sight to see old men flopping around like fish on dry land while some even started dancing around and singing some garbled tunes.

There were even a few who started laughing madly while stripping themselves naked to streak around the space, those I had to restrain and cloth them back to restore their dignity.

I also had to stop a number of them from self mutilation and even a few who started making out with each other without regards to gender.

So this is what happens when a mortal loses themselves in front of cosmic beings huh? Really, really crazy stuff.

Let's just forget that ever happened because it's honestly quite a traumatising sight… Thankfully Cai Hong was too busy having fun floating around to notice.

Initiate Hei and Private Bai continued their fight, completely ignoring the Great One after it backed off which really made me question who they really were.

That was when the two of them disengaged again before starting to gather energy around them.

The energy was a very familiar blue in colour…

"The Origin fragment in this World… It belongs to me!!" Private Bai roared, shooting out a beam of Origin energy from his blade.

"Not if I take you out first!" Initiate Hei shouted back, firing off a similar coloured beam from his palm.

Wait… What did they just say?

No bloody way…

Why are you guys even here?!!
