Cangqiong's mask had an androgynous look, and her frown was clearly visible. Fine threads of gold traced its edges, lending it an air of nobility.
"Daotian, you suddenly asked me to join you in opposing Yuanzhou. Do you still remember who you are? You're one of the Eight Heavenly Kings under Yuanzhou's rule." As expected, a few words weren't enough to bring Cangqiong over to my side.
"So what? Surely you don't intend to keep obeying an existence beyond the laws? Ultimately, it doesn't belong to any of the laws of the Three Thousand Dao Attainment Heavens. Those who aren't of our kind are bound to have different intentions." I smiled.
"Beyond the laws?" Cangqiong looked skeptical.
I casually summoned Spacetime Qinglian and motioned for Cangqiong to join me. She hesitated, but eventually climbed aboard after me.
"It exists outside the laws of the Three Thousand Great Daos. I don't know where it came from, but because its unique nature has no place in the Three Thousand Dao Attainment Heavens, no law can destroy it. That's why it has always been a special existence—until the birth of Hero's Blood, of course." A tiny drop of Hero's Blood appeared on my fingertip, constantly changing shape.

"God Xia? You mean the Sacred Lord of Creation?" I smiled.
"Exactly. Yuanzhou's appearance brought something beyond the laws. God Xia's appearance would inevitably bring tremendous change. Hero's Blood was born in response to his arrival!" Cangqiong
