The Divine Sword from Ten Thousand Years Ago

Douluo Continent.

In the era belonging solely to the Child of Destiny, Huo Yuhao, a divine sword emanating a frigid aura fell from the heavens.

After drifting through the Cosmic Starry Sky for countless years, it finally landed at the very center of the Extreme North on Douluo Continent.

The lingering might of the divine sword's edge severed the invisible shackles and rules.

At the same time, it cut off the God Realm's control over the laws of Douluo Continent.

"Who? Who was it that dared to ruin my ten-thousand-year plan?"

In the God Realm, Divine King Tang San, who prided himself on being pure and upright, felt a measure of anger at having lost control over Douluo Continent.

"Wait, just now... I sensed the aura of a Super Divine Artifact. No, perhaps something even greater than a Super Divine Artifact fell upon Douluo Continent?"

"And it has no owner?"

Tang San fell into thought, and soon, the corners of his lips curled upward.

"Excellent. Whatever the reason, this Super Divine Artifact possesses such tremendous power from its lingering might alone."

"And it just so happened to land on Douluo Continent. Isn't this my opportunity?"

"As long as I obtain this Super Divine Artifact, even the Destruction Divine King, who has always hindered me, will behave himself."

Tang San silently made up his mind.

"It seems I must include this Super Divine Artifact in my ten-thousand-year plan."

"It is just a pity that I have lost control over Douluo Continent. Who knows what outcome that will bring?"

Without Tang San's control from above, Douluo Continent once again became an ownerless land, no longer the Tang Family's Back Garden.

As for what consequences this would bring, no one knew.

Meanwhile, in the Extreme North.

Snow Empress had failed in her attempt to form the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core. Gravely wounded, she came across a Hundred Thousand Year Snow Lotus.

It happened to give her a chance to rebuild into human form and cultivate anew.

But just as she made up her mind, the entire Extreme North began to tremble violently. The already freezing region suddenly dropped several more degrees.

No one was more familiar with changes in temperature than Snow Empress.

Following the anomaly all the way to its source, Snow Empress ultimately found the divine sword embedded in the very center of the Extreme North.

The divine sword emitted an aura so cold that even Snow Empress felt chilled, leaving her utterly astonished.

She tried taking a few steps closer and found that the divine sword did not harm her. On the contrary, the aura it gave off even eased her injuries considerably.

Snow Empress's eyes lit up.

"I never expected that failing to form the Yin-Yang Complementary Dual Soul Core would not only lead me to a Hundred Thousand Year Snow Lotus, but also allow me to encounter such a Divine Artifact."

"Isn't this my opportunity?"

Suddenly, Snow Empress thought of Ice Empress, whose Heavenly Tribulation was soon to arrive. She hurriedly called over her dear friend to share in the benefits of this Divine Artifact.

Yet strangely, neither Snow Empress nor Ice Empress could pull the divine sword out of the Extreme North.

Snow Empress wanted to use her full strength, but she was shocked to discover that if she pulled out the divine sword, the entire Extreme North might shatter.

The Ice and Snow Two Emperors gave up on the matter. They merely stood guard around the divine sword, hoping to delay the arrival of their deaths.

Until ten thousand years later.

The Silver Dragon King, who had been slumbering all this time, awoke.

"It's over. Everything is over!"

The group of ferocious beasts watched as the silver dragon crawled out of the earth and collectively dropped to their knees.

"Welcome, The Lord!"

"It is dead, but I am still alive!" the Silver Dragon King roared. "Despicable humans, are you going to drive us to extinction? Now that I have awakened, the day of their destruction has arrived as well!"

At the very front of the ferocious beast ranks, Emperor Beast Di Tian could not help saying:

"The Lord... humans have not driven us to extinction."

The Silver Dragon King: "...?"

"There were indeed signs of that ten thousand years ago, but the problems between humans and Spirit Beasts were completely resolved by Huo Yuhao, the Child of Destiny from ten thousand years ago," Di Tian explained in a low voice.

"We are now allies with humanity. Not only has the overall strength of Spirit Beasts not declined, it has even increased."

The Silver Dragon King: "..."

That was not what you said ten thousand years ago!

After closing her eyes and opening them again, she awoke to find that the world had changed.

"However, The Lord, you must be able to clearly sense the changes on Douluo Continent as well," Di Tian said cautiously. "According to legend, a Divine Artifact descended upon Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago."

"It is said that the energy brought by the arrival of this Divine Artifact completely changed Douluo Continent."

"According to the intelligence we possess, no human currently wields this Divine Artifact, nor has anyone ever witnessed it with their own eyes. But with The Lord's help, finding it should be effortless."

"Correct, and this is no rumor." The Silver Dragon King nodded. "The last time I awakened, I was roused by this very aura. By my judgment, this is likely no ordinary Divine Artifact, but... a Super Divine Artifact, or something above one."

"As long as we obtain this ownerless Super Divine Artifact, perhaps we can use it to storm the God Realm and reclaim the status of our Beast Race!"

"Isn't this our opportunity?"

"The Lord is wise!"

"To find this Super Divine Artifact smoothly, it seems I will have to blend into human society. To understand them, I must become human..."

As she spoke, the Silver Dragon King suddenly realized something was wrong.

"The Lord?" Di Tian and the other ferocious beasts looked puzzled.

The Silver Dragon King asked in confusion, "That's not right. With my First-Level Deity strength, why must I seal my cultivation and become human just to blend in with them?"

Di Tian and the others exchanged glances.

We are not even gods. Why are you asking us?

But The Lord must have profound reasons for doing this!

"Why would I have such a thought? How strange..."

The Silver Dragon King shook her head and discarded the plan she had just formed.

What a ridiculous idea!

In the Extreme North ten thousand years later, the divine sword everyone coveted melted.

Literally.

The once imposing divine sword gradually turned into a child of around four or five years old.

By coincidence, a red-haired woman who looked no older than thirty, dressed in a qipao, came upon the child abandoned in the Extreme North.

She was none other than the renowned Sky Phoenix Douluo Leng Yaozhu of this era.

"Who could be so heartless as to abandon a child in such a freezing place as the Extreme North?"

Seeing the child, Leng Yaozhu immediately stepped forward to check whether he had frozen to death.

To her surprise, she found that the child's body was remarkably warm. He did not feel cold at all.

"Phew, he's alive..." Leng Yaozhu let out a breath of relief, but then realized something was not quite right.

This was the core region of the Extreme North. Not to mention that the Extreme North was even colder than before.

This child had no Soul Power, yet he could remain in such a freezing place as the Extreme North?

"...I do not know who abandoned you, but it would not do to leave you here."

Leng Yaozhu touched the child's cheek. Maternal love rose within her, and she picked him up before slowly leaving the Extreme North.
