As his laughter rippled through the air, the rose windows of the temple's vaulted dome began to shatter and fall away, and the statue of the goddess started to show cracks and claw marks.
He looked up, as if he could see the sky beyond the vaulted dome, where a huge candle floated, unmistakably the 'River God'.
Following the 'River God''s gaze deeper, a Sewer Space vaguely appeared before his eyes, with the scene of Bide the Twenty-Third and Mrs. Sally Byde presiding over the Serpentine Childbirth Ritual constantly changing.
Time seemed to become an extremely delicate scene.
Every ritual conducted by Bide the Twenty-Third, every ritual presided over by Mrs. Sally Byde was causing more and more cracks in the statue of the Cultivation Academy.
It was because of these cracks that a miraculous light appeared.
The source of the light was a Witch Monster in the Spirit Realm.
The end of the light was a mind embedded with Stone Treasure in the sewers.
