After Liang Shi revealed the Human Clan’s method for becoming a Great Sage, the universe’s races repeatedly pursued power and resources, plunging the universe into escalating wars and decay. The Sovereign was gravely wounded while fighting more than a hundred Great Sages, and Yi Xuan appeared before him as the universe began to die.

• Yi Xuan buried Liang Shi outside the Azure Cloud Sect’s main hall and kept watch over the graveyard.

• Yi Xuan appeared before the Sovereign, who was surrounded by forty-six crystals and covered in festering sores.
