Ten years after the continent’s wars, Xiao Hen and Shia had become its strongest powerhouses, but Xiao Hen continued searching for a way to advance beyond the world.

The Power of Fate began to seethe within his soul, bringing him closer to sensing level ten as he set out to learn what made this place different.
