[Child of Fortune] [Urban Cultivation] [Chosen One] [Fated Villain]
On a summer evening, the sea breeze raised ripples across the waves, and schools of fish played on the surface. One wave after another crashed onto the beach. A handsome young man sat cross-legged on a stone stool, utterly out of place among the people playing on the shore.
"Whew, ten years have passed. It's time to go back."
A faint halo surrounded the young man with every breath. Anyone looking closely would have noticed that the wind never stirred a single strand of his hair.
As he spoke, the young man slowly rose and walked into the dark forest, vanishing from sight.
Several days later,
Inside the Northern Desert Underworld King's Hall, the tables and chairs atop the dais were carved with the figures of Jiuying and Kunpeng. The furnishings on either side of the hall were carved with maps of Dongsheng Shenzhou, Nanzhan Buzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, and Beiju Luzhou.
Beyond those were the tables and chairs of the Eight Great Vajras, the Thirty-Six Heavenly Stars, and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends.
Once everyone had filed in and taken their places, they stood in orderly rows beside their seats. A young man slowly entered from outside the hall and walked up to the dais. He turned to face the crowd.
Everyone cried out in unison, "Greetings, Underworld King."
The young man waved a hand, signaling for them to take their seats.
"Everyone, five years ago I came here at my master's command to take charge of the Underworld King's Hall and lead you in battle across the Northern Desert. After hundreds of battles, large and small, our hall now reigns supreme here in the Northern Desert."
Write every book carefully, and do everything well today.
