    After the naming ceremony, Xiao Qian went to the west of the city alone. He stood before the ruins, not going in. Jiang Li stood in the middle of the ruins, his back to him, his gray hair fluttering in the wind. "You've come." "I've come." "Are you wearing a crown?" "Yes." Jiang Li turned around and looked at him. Something swirled in his gray eyes, like two long-rusted doors finally being pushed open a little. "Let me see." Xiao Qian walked over and stood in front of him. Jiang Li looked at the crown on his head for a long time. "It doesn't look good," Jiang Li said. Xiao Qian didn't speak. "But it suits you." Jiang Li's lips twitched, it was hard to tell if it was a smile or something else, "It doesn't look good, but it suits you. Because your face isn't the kind of face that wears pretty things. Your face is the face that has been tempered in the cold palace." He reached out, wanting to touch the tassels on the crown, but stopped halfway. "May I touch it?" Xiao Qian lowered his head, letting the tassels of the crown droop to Jiang Li's hand. Jiang Li's fingers trembled as he touched the tassels made of broken jade stones. "Thirteen years," he said hoarsely. "When she died, she told me to wait for you. She said a crowned person would come. That person would awaken the dragon vein, bring this city back to life, and ensure that those who died did not die in vain." His fingers tightened, gripping a string of tassels. "I've waited for you for thirteen years." Jiang Li released his grip, took a step back, and bowed deeply. Not kneeling, but a deep bow. Ninety degrees. "Jiang Li greets the Lord of the Great Xuan." Xiao Qian looked at his bent back, at his gray hair fluttering in the wind. "Rise." Jiang Li straightened up, his eyes red. But he didn't cry. Thirteen years of waiting had dried up all his tears. That night, the clouds above Meteor Dragon City split open. Not by the wind, not naturally dispersed, but by something forcefully opening them from within. Silvery moonlight poured down from the cracks, not sprinkled, but poured out—like someone had overturned a basin of water in the sky, the moonlight gushing out and flooding the dilapidated city, every street, every house, and every person's dream. Xiao Qian stood on the city wall, his hand pressed to his chest, the dragon scales burning. The ground beneath his feet trembled, not an earthquake, but a very slight tremor, like a heartbeat. Once, twice, three times. The earth was breathing. The dragon veins were breathing. He closed his eyes. He heard that sound. Not heard by his ears, but by his body. Very low, almost inaudible, only the vibration. Like a colossal beast that had slumbered for millennia, turning over deep, deep underground. The dragon was crying. But it didn't cry today. Because today, the person it had been waiting for had donned the crown. Xiao Qian opened his eyes, looking at the silvery moonlight overhead, a smile playing on his lips. "From this day forward, this city will be called Da Xuan." The moonlight suddenly shone brightly. The dragon scales burned his chest, but he didn't let go. "From this day forward, this dragon vein is mine." The moonlight shone brighter, brighter still, until the entire city was bathed in silvery-white light. The more than nine hundred people in the city awoke from their dreams at the same time. They didn't know what had happened, but they knew—something had changed. Not the city, but the land beneath their feet. It had come alive. In the distance, on the western horizon, a man stood atop a mountain, watching the silvery-white light in the direction of Meteor Dragon City. Li Tianxiao. His face was grim. Not from fear, but because what he had waited thirteen years for, what he dared not take, had been taken by a fourteen-year-old boy. "Da Xuan." He uttered these two words, his lips slowly spreading into an expression that was hard to decipher—a smile or anger. "Such arrogance." He turned and walked into the darkness. When Xiao Qian, the tenth name, returned to the City Lord's Mansion, it was almost dawn. A sliver of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon, and a bluish-gray light seeped through the holes in the window paper, falling on the floor in front of the bed. He wasn't asleep; he sat at the table, a booklet spread out before him—the *Great Xuan Foundation Establishment Record*, hastily compiled by Meng Bo'an overnight. Page 1: Zhang Liang. Page 2: Zhou Bo. Page 3: Bai Qi. Page 4: Chen Qi. Page 5: Meng Bo'an. Page 6: Liu San. Page 7: Niu Dazhuang. Page 8: Zhou Fu. Page 9: Zhao Tiezhu. Page 10: Blank. Two characters were written on it in brush: To be continued. Xiao Qian stared at those two characters for a long time. To be continued. The Great Xuan Foundation Establishment—ten people, only nine were filled. The tenth was blank. He knew who the tenth was—not one person, but many. Those who hadn't yet been summoned, those still on their way. Yue Fei, Zhang Sanfeng, Sun Wukong, Xiao He, Han Xin… and those he hadn't yet considered, but who were already on their way. He closed the booklet, placed it against his chest, pressed it against the dragon scales. "System." "Present." "Today, the Great Xuan was established." "Congratulations." "Aren't you going to do anything?" The system paused. "Daily blind box x1, distributed." Xiao Qian smiled. "Stingy." He closed his eyes. A light flashed in his mind—not the system's light, but another light, golden, warm, like the rising sun, like the light in the eyes of those kneeling before him, shouting "Great Xuan" with all their might. Xiao Qian fell asleep. He had a dream. In the dream, there were no dragons, no Blood Fiend Sect, no Great Yao Dynasty, no Cold Palace. In the dream, there was only one city, a very, very large city, ten thousand times larger than Meteor Dragon City. A flag fluttered on the city wall, embroidered with the single character—Xuan. Many people stood below the city; he recognized every single one of them. They stood there, looking up at him. He stood on the city wall, wearing a long black robe and a crown. The wind blew from all the heavens and myriad realms, billowing the cloak behind him. He opened his eyes—he was awake. Outside the window, dawn had broken. The City of Fallen Dragons welcomed its first rays of sunlight since its name was changed to Great Xuan. Let's start speculating! 1. The Tenth Name: On page ten of the Foundation Establishment Record, it says "To be continued." Who will be the tenth? Is it Yue Fei, Bai Qi, Zhang Sanfeng, or that monkey still perched on the roof beam, unable to even remember his own name? 2. Li Tianxiao's cold laugh: He said, "Such arrogance," not as mockery, but as apprehension. When news of Great Xuan's establishment reached the Blood Fiend Sect, he couldn't sit still. Not because Xiao Qian had become stronger, but because Xiao Qian had given this city a name. With a name, there are roots. With roots, there's no going back. 3. The Dragon Vein's Response: Moonlight poured in, the earth trembled, and the dragon vein fully awakened the moment Xiao Qian donned the crown. But its first act upon waking wasn't to kill for Xiao Qian, but—to cry. What was the dragon crying about? Was it joy, or sorrow? The person it was waiting for finally arrived. But was it really Xiao Qian it was waiting for?
