Chapter 1491

Lin Yan suddenly closed his eyes.

He instinctively sensed something was wrong.

When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was not a human infant.

But a life with a slightly peculiar appearance.

"Indeed not simple."

Lin Yan muttered to himself.

He knew he was peering across endless ages, yet he had nearly been affected.

But this influence didn't seem to come from the infant—it was more like the influence of the entire world.

Humans seeing this thing would see a human infant; beastfolk would see only a beast infant; Abyss beings might see a demon insect.

Different lifeforms saw this thing and received different results.

Lin Yan continued to observe.

He saw this thing cry for a full hundred years, and perhaps realizing no one was paying attention, it began consuming the matter in its surroundings.

The very matter that had given birth to it.

There was no shortage of this matter.

With its appetite, it took several thousand years to consume nearly all of it.

After finishing the matter, it let out a burp and fell into deep sleep.

This sleep lasted for an unknown number of years.

Lin Yan spent several years observing the sleeping thing, seeking more information to better deal with it.

"Ying ying"

After Lin Yan observed it many times, the thing exhibited a situation different from what he had seen before.

On its face, for some reason, a trace of fear appeared; then it opened its eyes, cautiously surveyed its surroundings, found nothing unusual, rolled over, and fell asleep again.

Yet this entire sequence of movements and expressions had never appeared in Lin Yan's prior time-reversal observations.

"Sensed it?"

Lin Yan whispered.

It seemed this thing had sensed Lin Yan's surveillance.

It certainly lacked supreme-level power now, but perhaps infants are innately sensitive to danger, thus sensing Lin Yan's gaze.

If this continued long-term, who knew whether it might leave psychological trauma.
