Tianluo Continent, Northern Region, Northern Realm.
The Northern Realm was a remote corner of territory, occupying only a small part of the vast Northern Region. Yet even here, there was no single ruling power; instead, rival lords carved up the land among themselves.
In this Northern Realm, a single lower Earth Sovereign was enough to dominate an entire territory...
At that moment, in Great Luo Heaven, Great Luo Heaven.
Inside a magnificent palace, Liu Yu sat high upon a throne with a faint smile.
Beside the throne stood a petite little girl in a black dress, her features exquisitely delicate and adorable.
The little girl looked only eleven or twelve, and a trace of frustration and helplessness lurked in the depths of her golden eyes.
She had been cultivating at the bottom of the Great Luo Golden Pool, suppressing the Curse within her body, when she suddenly sensed a familiar presence of the same origin as herself. She had decided to come out and investigate, only to encounter this handsome man in splendid black-and-gold robes, who exuded an intangible pressure.
That pressure was not deliberately released. Rather, his own spiritual energy had reached a certain resonance with Heaven and Earth, producing this oppressive force.
"Don't be nervous. I mean you no harm."
"Senior, that's not..."
The little girl in black, Mandala, hurriedly offered an explanation, her pupils contracting, afraid that he might misunderstand.
Her knowledge was far from ordinary, and she understood how terrifying the man before her was. That intangible pressure from Heaven and Earth was something only a Heavenly Sovereign could possess...
Although their meeting had been "coincidental," Mandala vaguely sensed that the Heavenly Sovereign before her might have come looking for her...
At that thought, Mandala's petite body could not help trembling slightly, and her heart tightened.
