Five thousand years passed in the flick of a finger.
Over those five thousand years, the undercurrents of various laws that had stirred into turmoil because of Lin Tian's return to the Primordial World finally settled.
In particular, the Central Continent's restrictions against the Human Race of the Primordial East Continent gradually began to lift during those five thousand years.
Yet relations between the Primordial East Continent and the Central Continent became tense, with swords drawn and bows bent.
There was a reason for this.
First Qilin, the only Quasi-Saint among the primordial races, had claimed a territory belonging to the Qilin Clan within the Human Royal City on the Primordial East Continent.
Then, from this foothold belonging to the Qilin Clan, First Qilin declared war directly on the primordial races of the Central Continent!
He openly challenged Ancestral Dragon and Shi Feng.
First Qilin's declaration of war was blunt: Ancestral Dragon and Shi Feng had broken faith and betrayed him twice, a veteran who had worked tirelessly for the welfare of the Primordial Clans. They had allied with the Netherworld Ancestor of the Chaos Era and nearly dragged all the primordial races of Mount Buzhou on the Central Continent into eternal ruin.
When First Qilin issued this declaration of war,
