Within the endless void between life and death, a faint golden light drifted silently through the darkness.
It had wandered for ten years, ten years without direction.
Ten years without rest. Inside the golden light was a shattered soul.
The soul of Xiao Chen. The former Celestial Monarch.
The Heavenly Pearl carried its master through the endless currents of the Void, searching for a vessel capable of bearing his existence.
But every time it found a suitable body, it would reject it. Some bodies were too weak,
Some lacked talent. Some would collapse the moment they came into contact with the Primordial Bloodline.
The Heavenly Pearl continued its search. Year after year.
Until one day
It stopped.
A faint crimson light appeared in the darkness, the Heavenly Pearl trembled for the first time in ten years, it had found something.
A bloodline.
Ancient.
Pure.
Noble.
Within the dying body of a mortal child flowed a trace of Phoenix Blood. Though incredibly thin, it carried a calming and balancing property capable of suppressing the violent nature of the Chaos Primordial God's Body.
As if sensing hope, the Heavenly Pearl released a soft glow, the shattered soul within slowly awakened.
Even in his unconscious state, Xiao Chen instinctively moved toward the source. The Void trembled. Countless fragments of broken stars flashed past.
The distance between worlds collapsed.
Then—
The Heavenly Pearl transformed into a streak of golden light and shot toward the Mortal Realm toward a dying prince.
Toward a destiny that had been rewritten.
Toward the beginning of a new era.
