With a single stroke across the firmament, the brush drove back Dark One's gaze and summoned the God Path world back.
The God Path world had appeared. The vast, dark divine realm hung above the Nine Provinces, just like the immortal lands and sacred lands of ages past.
Within that God Path world, rolling black mist surged like a great tide. Amid the tide, it seemed as though the mighty roars of countless divine beings were ringing out.
There was Bifang's dying wail, echoing through the years.
There was Qiongqi's dying defiance, resounding through space and time.
There was the flesh and blood of giant dragons bursting apart, reflected in the illusory world!
The God Path Civilization had once given birth to countless astonishing giant beasts renowned throughout the ages, such as Qiongqi, Bifang, Feiyi, and others. But in the end, they had all perished.
Now, all that remained of the divine realm was the black mist—and not a trace of life.
On the Steps of Time deep within the mist-shrouded divine realm, the girl sat alone in a long black dress. There was no Dark Rose beside her, nor any Darkness Saint Fire.
Her tightly closed eyes slowly opened.
"I hear the Ten Spirits quietly awakening. I hear the Ten Medicines continuing to grow..."
She spoke in a low voice.
"I hear the damned returning once more..."
She suddenly rose to her feet.
Only now could one see that several thick black chains were fastened around her jade feet, piercing straight through her ankles. It was as though they had locked her to the Steps of Time!
At that moment.
In the Land of Darkness, before the Dark Throne.
"He made his move... He really made his move and summoned the God Path time and space back!"
