At this very moment, witnessed by countless gazes, the burning divine flame slowly extinguished. From the phantom of the Wordless Monument, a massive contour gradually rose, revealing its pure white color. Just at the moment of its birth, with the spontaneous support of Xiematai, it enveloped the entire city.
It was a White Fox.
Not the captivating charm of the Qingqiu Fox, nor the strangeness and variability of the Heart Moon Fox, but a sacred and solemn majesty.
Without a doubt, it took control of the Power that originally belonged to the Azure Dragon of the East, shedding the dragon's Divine Nature and, in turn, was endowed with the Sky's Command of a Ruler from Zwei.
Completely breaking free from the shadows of the past, it carved out a new path from a dead end.
Through self-sublimation and advancing by its own will, the Heart Moon Fox, having undergone Metamorphosis from its Divine Nature, broke through its former 'Demon' image. It reached a realm approaching divinity and assumed the central throne in Jun Tian!
The Heavenly White Fox!
The instant that almost tangible figure appeared, it signified that Ye Xueya's advancement faced no further obstructions, and her all-in gamble had brought about a staggering return.
It wasn't just her achievement of the Fourth Stage, but the opening of yet another path ahead, stepping onto a grand avenue akin to the Heaven Ladder.
In her hands, one of the four branches of the Sky's Command path within the Dongxia Genealogy was reconnected. According to Scholars' rough calculations, this act alone endowed her with as much as a 0.3% Correction Value, and the consequent chain reactions were innumerable.
The originally unbalanced four cardinal star domains, due to the loss of the dragon, would now welcome a new Miracle to take charge. A new variable was introduced into Sky's Command, and all prophecy-class Talents within the Dongxia Genealogy would gain a twenty percent increase from their original base.
And in the legends of Dongxia, the White Fox itself represented the most auspicious of omens. At this moment, the emergence of this Miracle, whether as cause or effect, would add yet another log to the nearly flourishing Fate of the Dongxia Genealogy.
Of course, whether this was just gilding the lily or a step further in the journey to great heights would depend on Ye Xueya's own Abilities in the Future.
Most intriguing of all was the Zwei aura reflected upon the Heavenly White Fox—without the consent of Xuan Niao, it would have been impossible to take the central throne in Jun Tian.
Beyond her natural Ruler's Fate, she had been granted the Ability to interfere with Sky's Command, which meant that at this moment, she had completely grasped the essence of the path of Sky's Command.
Round it up, and she was a budget version of Xuan Niao!
Any discerning eye would recognize she was the designated successor appointed by Xuan Niao. From now on, even without Ye Xueya asking, the Dongxia Genealogy would begin to crazily tilt resources in her favor, with a Future that held boundless possibilities.
Just by controlling Sky's Command, one would be qualified to vie for the Seat of the next King of Dongxia Genealogy.
Putting aside whether she'd succeed or not, regardless of who would ascend the throne, her Power would be immense, not to mention the political legacy left by Xuan Niao...
From this moment on, before the screen, countless of Ye Xueya's former adversaries could only offer a helpless smile, their expressions bitter.
In the many years of strife and competition, it was she who took the first step forward, leaving behind the pond of the new generation and officially stepping into the Domain of the Rulers...
Indignation, irritation, admiration, praise, jealousy, and even a sense of powerlessness.
The former rivals had become towering mountains, rising from the horizon, and no matter what, all the new generations pinned with hopes by various Genealogies and organizations had to respond.
From the moment of Ye Xueya's advancement, it was destined that a massive wave would surge through the Current Circumstances, the Border, and Hell.
And Ye Xueya's own feat at this moment was the perfect conclusion to the rookie competition.
Under the witness of everyone, the one who was once the first among the new generation of Dongxia, proudly opened her path from the gamble; what could be more fitting than this?
Such striking Transformation, that even the Iron Fist of a General paused for a moment, astonished and impressed by the performance of this junior from deep within Hell.
And this was the ultimate gentleness of a seasoned Predecessor.
"Why are there so many talented individuals in others' houses?"
He lamented with regret, and in his hands, the fist that had paused for a moment after letting Ye Xueya surpass the most dangerous instant, fell once more!
This time, with more peril and ferocity than ever before.
ONE HUNDRED THOUSANDFOLD AMERICA'S SPIRITUAL QUALITY TRANSFORMATION—
—DECLARATION OF THE ERA!
With just this one punch, he sought to crush Xiematai, completely sever the Resonance between this Hell and Ye Xueya, and utterly shatter her Fifth Stage path that had turned into an open highway!
"Don't be angry, Predecessor, the kid is still young."
The smiling elder stepped in front of him. "If there's anything, come at me."
Self-proclaimed as the one least adept in conflict within the Dongxia Genealogy, Xuan Niao raised his White Wolf Hook.
Acceding to the revolutionary Power in the Iron Fist, he swiped forward.
In an instant, the stars shifted positions, and within a hundred li, the entire Endless Sea once again collapsed downward, countless water vapors rising, turning into a downpour, cascading into the dark depths of Hell.
At the deepest reaches of Hell, a series of continuous booms erupted. It was indeterminate how many places were affected by the Power of this punch as the stars shifted, resulting in a cataclysm.
Just one punch nearly pushed the entirety of Xiematai into a deeper depth!
Down towards the deeper layers of Hell.
At this very moment, it was when Ye Xueya was at her weakest.
As she resonated with the atmosphere around Xiematai, an endless stream of Source Substance madly flowed between them, merging completely as she acquired supreme imperial power in this place.
Having crossed the most arduous threshold, the transformed Heavenly White Fox would enter a prolonged Deep Sleep, slowly overlaying its Stigma across the entire Xiematai until the day of ultimate accomplishment.
It had absolutely no capacity to resist any attacks from the outside world.
"Rise, for me!"
The roar of Kua Fu resounded from the deepest reaches of the Sea—at this very moment, he had appeared within the Current Circumstances, lunging a heavy fishing rod from his hand towards the Abyss through the surging waves.
The fishing rod, made of First Mountain copper worth a thousand Gold per gram, stretched an exaggerated sixteen kilometers long. With Kua Fu's swing, several golden runes lit up, Miracle Imprints covering it, lashing the air and leaving straight, residual scars in the sky.
Within the screams, a nearly imperceptible thread followed the Gold Hook as it was cast into the Abyss.
The spirit-communicating golden hook deftly wound around Xiematai, and then the thread tautened abruptly.
Underneath Kua Fu's feet, mountains crumbled.
His muscles swelled, their Power doubling, redoubling, then doubling again until it reached an awe-inspiring magnitude.
Merely breathing caused hurricanes and thunder to burst forth thousands of li away.
All the Phantoms of Long Bo Wei emerged behind him, sharing the burden of Kua Fu's immeasurably increasing Power—the convergence of all the Abyss Giants' strength.
It was a critical moment.
The plunging momentum beneath Xiematai was forcibly halted. Then, following Kua Fu's roar, the rod lifted, bent into an arc by the horrific weight.
And Xiematai, swirling within the Chaos of the Abyss, slowly began to drift in the direction of Dongxia.
Xuan Niao forcibly withstood the General's full-blown strike. Immediately, the White Emperor's Son's Miracle Imprint chased after it like a shadow. Three identical Miracle Imprints materialized with strikingly different visages, merging into one and replacing Xuan Niao at the forefront.
Without hesitation, Xuan Niao retreated, pulling a dazzling Gold Seal from his sleeve and tossing it behind into Xiematai.
The illusory Gold Seal, itself a substantial form of the Miracle Imprint, now unrestrained by Xuan Niao, unfolded abruptly above Xiematai's Sky Dome, casting its shadow over the city below.
A line of ancient seal script emerged instantly from above the Sky Dome, deeply Engraved into every inch of the city's land.
—He who commands the land, commands its lords!
In an instant, Xiematai underwent earth-shattering changes. When Xuan Niao personally stamped this mark upon Xiematai's Sky Dome, it essentially registered the place in the Source of the Dongxia Genealogy, thereby declaring its sovereignty.
The Dragon Vein sprawling over the entirety of Dongxia instantly bridged the distance, transforming into an endless shower of golden dew, watering every inch of the land, whereupon everything from text to architectural style underwent a Transformation.
In the end, a line of golden characters acknowledged by the Dongxia Genealogy rose slowly from above the city.
THE THIRD NEW BIANLIANG CITY
"Tch... What's with you people? After eating your fill, why turn on the cook?"
Under the pressing force of the Dragon Vein, a resigned sigh rose from a corner of the city.
In that moment, Xuan Niao's pupils lifted. As expected...
The Eye of Stars peered into a world vastly different from what normal eyes see—more correctly, a complex tangle of Fate's threads, entwined like chaotic yarn.
It was precisely this that allowed him to discern, with his own experience, that trace of void-like Fate hidden behind Ye Xueya after she gave him a hint, amidst the chaotic actions of countless threads.
Using the turmoil of the rookie competition, it had thoroughly concealed all its traces in darkness, unnoticed by anyone.
Simply perfect.
If it weren't for lending Ye Xueya a hand, perhaps it would not have revealed any clues.
But was this assistance truly given out of goodwill?
Regardless, he was unwilling to leave such a significant oversight lurking beneath his watch.
Following that, he saw a black strand rise from beneath the Ninth Land, flowing like ink, forming a black outline upon the Sky Dome.
That was a fleeting Phantom.
Even though it was but an instant, everyone saw clearly: within the shell of the Flying Bird, that crystalline brilliance forged of Gold and diamonds, Divine Nature coursing within it, cast the solemn silhouette of the great sun.
Like the very center of the world, when it appeared, everyone was momentarily bewildered as if the world itself revolved around it.
It represented the supreme authority, remnants of God, a pathway to the Natural Enemy, the source of Miracle, and the essence of all Power.
—God's Wedge!
In the face of this indescribably resplendent Miracle, everyone's breath paused for a moment.
Thereafter, they saw the ethereal Flying Bird that came from who knows where, spread its wings with God's Wedge in its clutches, instantly soaring a thousand li away, breaking through the double blockade of Xuan Niao and the General, and disappearing into the deepest reaches of Hell.
It slipped away.
