Just as Tepid Scholar wanted to keep ranting, the Sea of Worlds began to shake. Every world in the Sea of Worlds and the void in between the worlds was shaking. In fact, the whole space of the Sea of Worlds was shaking.
All the Dao Lords noticed that everything seemed to be shaking, but they couldn't be sure about what was happening because they too were shaking.
They didn't know if the world shaking was shaking them or whether their shaking was making the world shake. But they knew that they felt fear.
They didn't even know what was causing all of the shaking, but this didn't stop them from feeling heart-palpitating fear. Even though the source of their fear was unknown, they knew that it was coming and that they should be afraid of it.
No one was talking about what was happening. Everyone was looking up at the sky in expectation of what was about to happen. But they were also doing a lot of thinking.
