In the endless starry sky, far from the Ancient God World Cluster, lay another world cluster in some distant place.
The night sky was still.
The Solar Star and Taiyin Star hung eternally high in the heavens. Starlight glittered above, flickering now and then, as beautiful as ever. It seemed that every stretch of sky in the endless starry cosmos was much the same.
Beneath the radiance of the Solar Star, a medium thousand world known as the Wondrous Splendor Realm gleamed.
This was a world ruled by unknown deities.
The glory of the deities had shrouded this place for countless tens of thousands of years—so long that no living being knew when it had begun. They merely took it for granted that this was a land bathed in sacred light, that it had been so since the birth of the world, and that it would remain so for all eternity to come.
Within the world, countless living beings multiplied, dwelled, and fought, everything forever wearing the same dull, unchanging appearance.
Countless mortals and great demons flourished across the land, worshipping the deities. Countless City Gods, Land Gods, regional lords, and sovereigns each performed their duties, tending the deities' flocks for them.
Everything was in perfect order. Incense power, surging like a vast flood, passed through the World Wall and gathered in some distant, unknown place, forming immortal beings.
Everything had been utterly ordinary.
Until this day.
One day, a speck of five-colored light appeared in the sky above the Wondrous Splendor medium thousand world.
At first, that five-colored radiance was as tiny as a candle flame. Then it swiftly blotted out the sky and sun. Boundless spatial runes blossomed within it; heaven and earth trembled, rules shook, and all things fell into utter chaos, displaying an astonishing celestial phenomenon.
