More than five hundred years after the fierce battle with Dao Ancestor Hongjun, enormous changes had taken place in the mortal realm.
Acting Heavenly Emperor Nine Li and acting Heavenly Sovereign Yinglong had decreed that the mortal realm be sealed off, blocking the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from reaching it. They had also used great divine abilities to stop the power of the stars contained in the sun, moon, and stars from shining down upon it. Every living being born there afterward became utterly ordinary. Even with immortal cultivation methods, they could not cultivate.
Over time, those methods became wastepaper and were discarded. The Human Race embarked on the same path as humanity on Blue Star, within the Beyond Heaven that Gungun had created-the great dao of science!
2022 CE, a certain month, a certain day.
The weather was clear today.
A young man who looked to be in his early twenties wandered aimlessly down the street, an ice pop in his mouth. He wore a white T-shirt and black casual trousers, with a silver necklace around his neck.
The young man's name was Xiong Ba. Naturally, this was an alias. He used one because his real name did not work particularly well in this world; he was afraid people would laugh if he said it.
"Clearance sale! Don't miss out as you pass by! Clearance sale..." Large loudspeakers stood outside the surrounding shops, repeating their advertisements and making the street quite lively.
"Hmm?" Suddenly, a road sign caught Gungun's eye.
Zoo.
Gungun blinked, thought for a moment, then followed the sign toward the zoo in this city called Sugar Mountain.
Gungun did not cover several meters with each step, much less use magic power to shift through space. He simply walked normally, like an ordinary person.
