The world stretched vast and boundless.
Spiritual energy, concentrated to the utmost, condensed into pale Qing-colored clouds high in the sky.
Above those clouds of spiritual energy...
The River of Rules surged mightily, seemingly spanning heaven and earth.

The Godslayer Saber said, "I told you earlier
