Beneath an island in the southern East China Sea of the New Dragon Kingdom, an Eight Trigrams formation that had lain dormant for ages quietly activated as the Earth's crust continued to shift. Time had worn the edges of the formation indistinct, but now it shimmered with a strange light. The Qian trigram began to flicker with a pure white, holy aura, like the rising sun, bringing endless hope and warmth. The Gen trigram gave off a faint haze of dark red, like the afterglow of dusk, mysterious and profound. The Zhen trigram burst with purple lightning, seemingly imbued with boundless power as it funneled energy toward the center of the formation...
As the energy gathered, the sacrificial platform at the center began to shine brilliantly. A hazy purple beam shot skyward from the platform, carrying an ancient, mysterious aura, as if it would break through the bounds of the atmosphere and connect with the stars.
