Mingdou Academy occupied an immense expanse of land, its towering buildings arranged in an orderly pattern. The vast central square could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
The sun shone brightly in a gentle breeze that day, and the weather was perfect. Countless people stood there, waiting to witness a historic moment.
Among them were students and parents, as well as many powerful figures from the major factions.
Months earlier, Mingdou Academy had invited powerful figures from across the entire continent to attend its opening ceremony, with no formal invitation required.
All who came were guests, and many powerful figures had traveled thousands of miles just to join the festivities.
Everyone eagerly anticipated the ceremony about to begin.
Suddenly, a bang rang out in the sky, followed by a continuous series of explosions. Countless ceremonial cannons fired into the air one after another, their shells bursting high overhead into dazzling fireworks.
"Distinguished guests, dear students, welcome."
At last, as everyone waited, a sweet voice rang out simultaneously from the Sound Transmission Soul Tools positioned throughout the square.
"Today is a day worth remembering. The thousands of years of grievances and feuds between the Three Great Empires have become history. From this day onward, peace will become the prevailing melody of our continent."
As the hostess delivered her opening remarks, the square first fell briefly silent, then began to stir with mounting excitement.
"Mingdou Academy stands as a testament to the peace and friendship between the Three Great Empires. After so many days and nights of construction, its campus is finally complete."
The people from Tianhun and the Star Luo Empire present could not help feeling a little relieved at those words.
The pressure from the Sun Moon Empire was immense, so peace was a good thing, whatever else might happen.
