The "Dao City" in the starry sky, the "Zuzhou" where cultivation first sprouted, the "Shencang Ancient Marsh" which is the origin of water in the vast universe, and the "Warhawk Void" which is a forbidden zone in the void. There is also the celestial realm hidden in the macrocosm, and the underworld hidden in the microcosm. The microscopic world of Earth... Under the microscope—the Buddha relic, the size of a bean, resembles a light red planet, surrounded by towering mountains and dried-up ancient riverbeds, desolate yet vast, a truly magnificent sight. Researchers observed this microscopic world with a sense of awe. Soon after, a shocking discovery was made. An ancient and strangely shaped bronze ship lay moored in the arid ocean of this pale red planet, covered in rust, its masts and sails still clearly visible, having been stranded there for who knows how many years. Turn up the magnification, and you'll see the ship littered with corpses, including skeletons of humans in armor, as well as phoenix and python remains, and a vast forest of tombstones on the deck. It is only 460 nanometers long, yet it is so magnificent and mysterious.
