The supreme Qilin Emperor of this age was about to pass away!
No one knew when it began, but a piece of news started spreading through the vast universe.
Over the years, many had seen the invincible emperor of the age: in the Boundless Mountains on Gou Chen Ancient Star, on the Far Northern Icefield of Big Dipper Ancient Star, along the Myriad Races Ancient Road in the starry sky, and on the Gods' Battlefield from the Mythological Era...
Without question, those were all places where the Qilin Emperor had fought. More than twenty thousand years ago, the still-young emperor had swept through his enemies on those battlefields, spilling his blood in combat. With talent and will, he had carved out a clear, radiant world for himself.
Sadly, after more than twenty thousand years of change, the young man whose blue hair fell over his shoulders, whose Eternal Blue Gold Staff had cleaved across two worlds, was gone. In his place stood an old man in his twilight years, his withered body clad in loose imperial robes, long since bereft of his unrivaled valor and strength.
Many people saw two small figures, a boy and a girl, often following beside the old emperor. They were the Qilin Emperor's young son and daughter, inheritors of the supreme bloodline of an imperial Qilin.
Later, those two children vanished from the old emperor's side as well. It seemed that only his lonely silhouette remained between heaven and earth, often standing atop some mountain on some ancient star for months at a time.
Only then did many realize that, with the passage of time, the Qilin Emperor seemed to have no contemporaries left in this universe. Six or seven thousand years were enough for the vast majority of its living beings to pass through
