He looked toward the Minghe Ancient Saint, who had already reached the end of his lifespan and fallen.
The Nether River became his Immortal Tomb, wishing to be buried alongside heaven and earth. Endless auspicious phenomena stretched across this world; for a time, all things grew wildly, and the Nether River became an eternal spectacle of this Immortal Domain.
