Kindling Calendar Year 158 of the 32nd Era, Kindling Human Civilization territory, Third Kindling Galaxy Cluster (formerly the Corpse Sovereign Clan Galaxy Cluster), Dragonspine Song Clan, Dragonspine Continent.
The afterglow of blood and fire from the Chaos Divine Continent had yet to fade from memory, yet a surging tide of celebration had already swept across the territory of the Kindling Civilization.
And at the heart of that tide stood the ancestral continent of the Dragonspine Song Clan, Dragonspine Continent, which had advanced to Level Nine long ago.
This magnificent continent, flowing with immortal divine light from end to end and resembling the brightest central gem upon the crown of the star sea, was especially bustling today—and especially solemn.
For today was the day bloodline and glory were formally crowned, a monument to civilization and power; the day the Dragonspine Dynasty rose anew from the flames and ascended into the fifth empire of the Kindling Human Civilization—the Heavenly Ruins Divine Court.
It was also the moment the Dragonspine Song Clan, with unquestionable momentum, ascended to the pinnacle of civilization and was crowned the fifth Heavenly Pillar Imperial Clan of the Kindling Human Civilization.
Beyond Dragonspine Continent lay a grand and resplendent sight.
Hundreds of millions of golden divine phoenixes and stellar dragons, formed from pure energy, intertwined and circled through the void. With each sweep of their wings, they scattered endless rainbows of light and dao rhythms, transforming the entire starfield into a sacred realm. Vast rune bands flickered like the breathing of the universe itself, every flash stirring resonances in the depths of the void.
Envoy fleets from the Kindling's four great empires, major immortal giants, interstellar conglomerates, ancient merchant associations, and immortal clans moved through the floating-continent shield-light constructed between reality and illusion like a galactic procession paying homage
