After Ziwei became a Quasi-Sage, he led the Human Race’s great powers toward the East Sea, leaving them unsure whether he meant to fight the Dragon Clan. Their journey drew the attention of the Primordial World’s major powers and the scattered Demon Clan.

• Ziwei broke through to Quasi-Sage after the Human Race’s fortune surged, astonishing the great powers across the Primordial World.
