True Sovereign's Edict, Late Ancient Period
While Chen Chu was in seclusion, the firmament, separated from the Human Race by countless dangerous areas, suddenly collapsed, unleashing a spatial storm that destroyed everything around it.
Amid the storm filled with a destructive aura, black flames spread, and a woman with long black hair, like a queen of fire, slowly emerged from the depths of the void.
The moment Shifei Tong stepped out from the deep space, the entire world shook violently, and an invisible shockwave swept outwards from her, covering hundreds of thousands of kilometers.
Wherever she passed, the clouds and mist dissipated, leaving only a blazing black sun hanging in the sky.
Shifei Tong looked back at the healing pitch-black void, her gaze icy: "You ran fast, but an ordinary void ancient artifact actually dared to obstruct this deputy lord of the hall. Seeking death."
With a thought, Shifei Tong's consciousness moved, causing the sky full of black flames to retract and disappear into the black solar emblem that appeared on her forehead. Instantly, the terrifying might that filled the world dissipated.
Just as Shifei Tong reined in her aura and prepared to continue heading towards the Human Race direction, her figure suddenly paused.
On her left wrist, the exquisite and ornate purple-black phoenix tail bracelet lit up with countless runes, emitting white light and coalescing into a projected image in the air.
In the image, a woman dressed in a luxurious divine robe of white with golden patterns appeared, her face stunningly beautiful. Her star-like eyes crossed time and space, landing on Shifei Tong.
"Sister?" Shifei Tong was somewhat surprised.
By the Starry Lakeside, Shifei Rou slowly said: "Feitong, what you see now is just a shadow of my presence. I have an important task for you."
"A star moment ago, the Void True Sovereign transmitted a divine edict. The ancestral land of the Human Race has appeared, and its coordinates coincide with the direction you are heading."
"Since you are closest to that location, His Majesty the Great Radiance has commanded you to go check the situation."
"After tens of thousands of years, how has the ancestral land developed? How far has the newly established civilization progressed?"
"In addition, a team composed of the Six Great Divine Domains has already set out. They carry the True Sovereign's edict and are preparing to bring the family land back to the divine realm."
As Shifei Rou spoke, her figure vanished, and the projection in the air transformed into an enormous map spanning thousands of kilometers.
In the center of the map were dozens of recorded civilizations, marked with red boundary lines indicating their strength range. As the map expanded towards the central area, it became sparser.
About one-tenth of the area was marked with warnings of dangerous zones, and at the map's outskirts, it became completely blurry, belonging to uncharted and unexplored territories.
Currently, Shifei Tong found herself in the southeast of the map, in the outer blurry zone, approximately one billion kilometers from the red dot indicating the coordinates.
The ancestral land of the Human Race, which had been lost for tens of thousands of years, had unexpectedly appeared in this vast world?
Looking at the immense map projected in the air, Shifei Tong was somewhat astonished, then recalled the Heirloom Token she had left behind, which also sensed that direction.
"Could it be that the one who activated my Heirloom Token is from the ancestral land? It’s even possible..." As she thought of this, excitement lit up in her eyes.
For thousands of years, the sisters had been searching for news of Chen Chu, but it was as if he didn't exist at all; not a single trace of his presence had been found.
This included the many ancient Human Race factions that had rejoined the expedition back to the Six Domains, none of which had any information about Chen Chu.
This had led many who emerged from the Lost World to doubt whether there was truly a person named Chen Chu, or if he was merely the projection of an unknown powerful being.
