Divine Artifact, Sun-Chasing Divine Bow!

As for why Queen Mother of the West had lost her divine power, and why she had appeared in the mausoleum.

After Queen Mother of the West awakened, she recounted the cause and course of everything.

It turned out that ten thousand years ago, the world had not been called the Dark World.

In the words of their time, the entire world was called the Xiling Continent.

It signified a world filled with hope and spiritual energy.

The Xiling Continent was home to countless races. By absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, some members of every race gained extraordinary abilities.

Those with extraordinary abilities went by different names among the various races—cultivators, shamans, fairies, mages, transcenders, espers, and so on.

Some were born with immense strength, while others remained ordinary and mediocre their entire lives.

Some explored the path of cultivation and found methods suited to themselves, gradually making progress in their training.

Those who mastered the source of a certain power were called gods. For example, one who wielded lightning was called a Thunder God.

One who controlled wind was a Wind God.

There were Rain Gods, Mountain Gods, Water Gods, and so on.

Later, as more and more people attained the Dao, gods developed many different branches.

For instance, Earth Gods were further divided into Mountain Gods, Land Gods, Wood Gods, and more.

In that era of abundant spiritual energy and flourishing cultivation, countless branches emerged in order to distinguish the various gods, and many paths of cultivation were discovered as well.

And it was not limited to humans.

The four major races—the Human Clan, Nether Tribe, Demon Clan, and God Clan—produced many powerful gods.

The Xiling Continent entered the most prosperous age of the gods.
