Immortal Dao Sect, Inheritance Hall.
Several years had passed. The giant Celestial Trace Crystal Stone situated atop the high platform still emanated a faint, fluorescent glow, day after day.
Amidst the interwoven fluctuations of illusion and reality, a vaguely coalescing human figure had become remarkably lifelike.
At some unknown moment, the seated figure abruptly opened its eyes. At first, they were empty and vacant, as if belonging to a blank shell devoid of a soul.
After a few breaths, the Celestial Trace Crystal Stone suddenly flared. The vacant eyes flickered, and then, a divine light burst forth from within them.
The figure rose, took a single step, and vanished from the Inheritance Hall.
The Celestial Trace Crystal Stone, with its faint fluorescent glow, slowly returned to its tranquil state.
The hall, which had stood for countless ages, also fell silent once more.
...
Demon City.
