When the mark on Qin Huang's body vanished, in a pavilion within a Small World somewhere far away in the Grand Luo Heavenly Domain, another figure froze mid-motion at that exact same moment and stopped eating.
Had anyone been near this being, they would have discovered that in no more than a few blinks, its appearance and body changed several times. From a handsome, confident young man, to a refined and elegant middle-aged man with a mature air... then to an elderly figure, aloof and profound, as though he had seen through all things.
By the time it rose completely from the pavilion, it had transformed once more into a woman with black hair streaked with white and a seductive, voluptuous figure.
No one could have imagined that such a bizarre being was in fact the third strongest figure in the entire Grand Luo Heavenly Domain—the true body of the Innate God-Demon known as Wuming!
"Mirror" was a second-generation god, born in the era when Chi was on the verge of falling. That was already the late Ancient Era of the Ancient Cultivators, and he had been among the final batch of Innate Gods.
Yet though he appeared to be a one-character god, due to the era, he had failed to absorb sufficient innate divine power and had been born incomplete. This caused Mirror, who had originally possessed immense potential, to end up far inferior even to many two-character gods, or even four-character gods. The effects of the divine abilities he gained had likewise changed. Though they had not directly become weakened versions, they came with all manner of restrictions.
With such feeble strength, coupled with the sky-high hatred drawn by his identity as an Innate God, the fact that Mirror had survived the Ancient Era was itself a miracle.
