A palace hall shrouded in a haze of multicolored light suddenly saw a streak of Flowing Light appear, then quickly gather and solidify into a human shape.
It finally became a Bald Crystal Being. "Fifty thousand years... The Ruins have finally opened. And the person who came has a Brain Domain Width of an astonishing 41, and even comprehended a domain while still an Apprentice. Such a genius is truly incredible. Let's see how he performs."
