The Myriad Heavens and Myriad Domains were in the heat of intensive training, preparing for war.
This continued for a full two thousand years.
For mortals, two thousand years meant the births, aging, sickness, and deaths of dozens of generations, dynasties rising and falling, seas turning into mulberry fields.
For cultivators, two thousand years were merely an instant spent comprehending the Dao in seclusion, a fleeting moment of tempering before battle.
Yet these two thousand years were unlike those before.
Every day, Immortal Venerables gained insights into principles under Yuji True Immortal's tempering; every day, Mahayana Dao Venerables honed their fighting spirit on the brink of death; every day, Artifact Refiners' hammers and Alchemists' furnace fires never ceased.
The Nine Heavens and Ten Earths were led by First Yuji, with one cultivator in the True Immortal Realm.
That one person alone was the greatest source of confidence for the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Domains, the last hope of the myriad races. Such was a True Immortal's might: a thought could annihilate stars, a fit of wrath could burn heaven and earth, and one person's strength was enough to suppress an entire world.

In the Fusion of Treasures Realm-Bing Ling'er, Ji Kun, Dong Jun, Li Changsheng, Li Xianhuang, Zhao Guangzheng, Diana, Dongfang Lei, Yang Haoran, Six-Eared Immortal Venerable... there were thirteen beings in all.
Thirteen Fusion of Treasures Realm cultivators, each a supreme powerhouse, each possessing extraordinary opportunities
