The morning glow descended from the heavens, spilling over the ruins of Peerless City, enveloping this corner of the mortal world.
Within this radiance, the young Xu Qing stood motionless, as though time itself had frozen around him.

With each step he took, the land of Wanggu trembled.
The earth quaked, the heavens roiled—as if all of Wanggu had awakened in that instant, radiating a sense of welcome.
Not just Wanggu, but even Brilliant Heaven beneath it resonated in the same way!
It was as though… the figure emerging from the light had become the very source of Wanggu, the origin of Brilliant Heaven!
