Ten Thousand Beasts City had once been a city ruled by the Dragon God. At its height, some curious souls had counted the races living within its walls. They eventually discovered that there were more than ten thousand. That was how Ten Thousand Beasts City had earned its name.
But a hundred years ago, after the war the human deities called the Dragon God War, the Dragon God had been defeated, and Ten Thousand Beasts City in the God Prohibition Great Forest had not escaped disaster either.
Now, Ten Thousand Beasts City was nothing but ruins. An army of more than five hundred thousand divine beasts was stationed amid the rubble. At a glance, it resembled an old man clinging to his last breath.
Dark clouds filled the sky. Rain seemed imminent, yet there was not the slightest sign of racing winds or flashing lightning. It was as though a great stone weighed upon everyone's heart.
"Have we lost after all?"
A young man hovered in midair, looking at the dark mass of troops outside Ten Thousand Beasts City. The army stretched beyond sight, resembling a vast black plain.
"Su Chen, you've already done everything you could."
The Silver Dragon King looked at Su Chen with a smile, so poignantly beautiful that she resembled pear blossoms drenched in rain, stirring pity in anyone who saw her.
More than a month had passed, but what Su Chen had been waiting for had never arrived. Now, the armies of Sea God Tang San, the God of Evil, the God of Destruction, the Goddess of Kindness, and the Goddess of Life occupied five separate directions, completely surrounding the divine beast army within the city.
"Yueyue, I'm sorry. I've only just brought you back to life, and now I've put you in danger again."
