As they set out to find it, an ancient ship bearing the Qianxue Dynasty’s insignia arrived, and an old man challenged Nie Yun over his identity.

He rejected several recruitment offers and led Fu Anchao and the others to investigate a place sealed around the Pseudo-Origin Great Dao, only to find it occupied by the powerful Eternal Night Dynasty.

• The Eternal Night Dynasty welcomed Fu Anchao, Zitong Undestroyable, Duan Yi, and Nie Yun, but the guests overlooked Nie Yun during the banquet.
