A lost ancient civilization?
Yu Huatian's expression tightened.
This world bore similarities to the world of his previous life, yet it was not entirely the same.
The period before the Spring and Autumn and Warring States eras-the Zhou Dynasty and the ages before it-was known as antiquity.
More than three thousand years had passed since then.
Across the nations of the Divine Land, records concerning the history of antiquity were exceedingly scarce.

Yu Huatian nodded slightly.
The Xuanyuan Sword was the sword the Xuanyuan Yellow
