The progenitor of divination was named "Bu Lian." He was the Teacher of the Human Emperor, a sage of All-Under-Heaven, and the guide of the Human Race in ancient times.
Even several great eras later, a fragment of his consciousness remained deeply hidden within the fate of the Demon Race, clutching the Demon Race's destiny by the throat. It waited until Emperor Yuanxi of the Demon Race made his move before prying open that invisible hand.
Yet this final remnant thought sealed the gate and barred the world, forcibly delaying the opening of the Divine Firmament World and granting the Human Race sufficient time to prepare. Thus came this age of war preparations before Divine Firmament.
These years were certain to be recorded in history—and written of in great, emphatic strokes!
The last time there had been preparations for war on such a scale might date back to ancient times, to the war in which the Human Race joined hands with every side to overturn the Demon Race's Heavenly Court.
Throughout this "Pre-Divine Firmament Age," the Human Race, which had dominated The Present World for several great eras, was making comprehensive preparations for war, tapping its potential for war to the utmost.
Every major event that had occurred across the myriad heavens and worlds during this time could be said to have unfolded around this war that concerned the fate of all worlds.
And Jiang Wang, whose ties to divination ran deepest in The Present World, had received the progenitor of divination's aid when escaping the Demon Realm. When he ventured deep into the Lost Realm, he witnessed the end of divination.
What he now spread before Ji Jinglu with a single sword was precisely that "nothing at all" Yu Beidou had once shown him in the River of Fate!
