Hundred Rivers Valley.
This was a small restricted zone. Small as it was, it was still as large as a Dao Realm, vast and expansive—a special world of its own. The blazing sun hung high overhead, and the air was searing.
Unlike those super restricted zones, small restricted zones like Hundred Rivers Valley did not restrict freedom. People could come and go as they pleased.
Several days ago, someone had discovered a stone wall in Hundred Rivers Valley, with scriptures written upon it. Each ancient character was a super universe, containing the ultimate truths. They had been left behind by a Super Creature.
Before long, someone had gained insight from them and undergone an astonishing transformation, drawing much closer to Quasi-Hegemon Level in an instant!
The discovery had nearly sent the Immortal Emperors on both sides into a frenzy!
There was no need to think twice. This was surely a fortuitous opportunity deliberately left behind by a great figure from the High-Level Heavenly Vault.
The ancient characters on the stone wall might have been left by a Hegemon!
Those were ancient characters left by a Hegemon! They contained Hegemon Grade truths. Even comprehending a single sliver—or gaining some inspiration from them—could very likely bring about a transformation.
The discovery made the Immortal Emperors on both sides want to seize the place, especially the Immortal Emperors of the Imperial Alliance, whose origins were considered more "humble."
All the emperors of the Imperial Alliance joined forces against the emperors of the High-Level Heavenly Vault. They drove out everyone from the High-Level Heavenly Vault in the vicinity, either suppressing them or forcing them to retreat, and temporarily took control of Hundred Rivers Valley.
Faced with the Imperial Alliance's superior numbers, the few powerful figures from the High-Level Heavenly Vault were furious, but helpless.
