116: Chapter 116 The Ice Plains are Solidified, and the Dao Heart is Forged Together

Bai Yunzhou stood on the Star-Gazing Platform, his Chaos Perception spreading out to take in the trends of the Spiritual Veins across all four directions of the Northern Territory as well as the movements at various outposts. His aura was calm and solid.

Although the spatial Seal of the Wanyin Ice Plain had been reinforced, it still required constant nourishment. Ling Shuang was stationed at the Ice Plain Branch, sending daily messages to report on the status of the Seal, and everything remained stable.

Holding the cultivation scrolls of the Body Hall Disciples, Zhou Zhiting slowly ascended the Star-Gazing Platform. Her fingertips condensed a faint power of battle blood, and her brows carried a touch of earnestness.

"Domain Protector, the sparring assessment between the Body Hall Disciples and the Yao Race youths has concluded. The Yao Race youths possess formidable physiques, but lack Moves and techniques, making them in need of specialized guidance."

Bai Yunzhou took the scrolls and flipped through them, a flash of warmth crossing his eyes. "Have the Body Hall Elders combine this with the Yao Race's Body Refining methods to compile a new Body Refining formula. Mutual learning and integration are the right path."

"Additionally, convey my order: every hall shall hold a cross-hall sparring session once a month. Pair the Sword Hall with the Array Hall, and have the Pill Hall assist the Talisman Hall, allowing the Disciples to learn collaborative combat."

Zhou Zhiting bowed to accept the order. As she turned to leave, she happened to run into Song Xinghe, who had come to report. The two exchanged nods, both painstakingly toiling for the Guardian Academy with one heart.

Holding the recent status scrolls of the five branch academies in his hands, Song Xinghe wore a solemn expression. "Domain Protector, a small amount of residual Power of Nothingness has been discovered in the famous mountains of the Western Territory, seemingly leftover qi drifting from the ice plain."

"The Disciples of the Western Territory Branch have already gone to clean it up, but the Power of Nothingness has eroded the Spiritual Veins, and the contaminated vegetation has all withered. Recovery will take some time."

Bai Yunzhou tapped the stone railing with his fingertips, and the chaos domain-protecting seal trembled slightly. "Send a message to the Western Territory Branch, have the Array Hall Disciples set up a purification Formation, and the Pill Hall Disciples refine vein-cleansing pills."

"I will personally head to the Western Territory later to nourish the eroded Spiritual Veins with the Power of Chaos. We must absolutely not allow the Power of Nothingness to remain in the Northern Territory and cause endless harm."

Half an hour later, Bai Yunzhou transformed into a cyan shadow, speeding out of Black Stone City and heading straight for the Western Territory. His Chaos Domain quietly unfolded around him, purifying the scattered remnants of nothingness along the way.

The Western Territory abounded with mountains and dense forests, and its Spiritual Qi was inherently rich. However, due to the erosion by the Power of Nothingness, the vegetation in several valleys had withered to a yellow, and the Spiritual Veins were sluggish, exuding an aura of deathly stillness.

The Disciples of the Western Territory Branch were surrounding the valley to set up a purification Formation. The Talisman Hall Disciples carved purification talismans, and the Array Hall Disciples channeled spiritual power into the Formation, yet because the Power of Nothingness was stubborn, the Formation yielded little effect.

Seeing Bai Yunzhou arrive, the branch head hurriedly stepped forward to bow. "Greetings, Domain Protector. This Disciple is incompetent and has long been unable to completely eradicate the Power of Nothingness."

Bai Yunzhou raised a hand to dismiss the courtesy and stepped into the valley. "It is not your fault. The Power of Nothingness specializes in devouring Spiritual Qi, making it difficult for ordinary Formations to eradicate. Leave it to me."

The Chaos Green Lotus Body all around him fully unfolded, and a cyan-gray halo of Chaos enveloped the entire valley. The Power of Chaos poured into the earth like a clear spring, nourishing the sluggish Spiritual Veins.

Under the Power of Chaos, the contaminated soil gradually regained its original color, the withered yellow vegetation sprouted new shoots once more, and the sluggish Spiritual Veins slowly flowed, recovering their vitality.

Under the enhancement of the Power of Chaos, the purification talismans and purification Formation greatly increased in power, and the residual Power of Nothingness was completely shredded, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated between heaven and earth.

Seeing this scene, the branch Disciples all wore expressions of admiration and bowed in salute. "The Domain Protector possesses boundless Divine Abilities, and we Disciples have been enlightened!"

Bai Yunzhou waved his hand and said in a deep voice, "Although the Power of Nothingness is vile, it can be restrained by the Power of Chaos and the Power of Dao Protection. You must remember that Dao Protection is not merely defending, but also protecting life."

"In the future, if you encounter the Power of Nothingness again, you can use the Power of Chaos as a guide, combined with the Dao Protection sword qi, to achieve twice the result with half the effort. You must never fight them head-on blindly."

He stayed in the Western Territory for three days, personally instructing the branch Disciples on the methods to purify the Power of Nothingness, and laid down several Chaos vein-protecting Formations to stabilize the trends of the Western Territory's Spiritual Veins before finally departing.

On his return journey, Bai Yunzhou stopped by Qingmang Mountain in Luo the Southern Territory. Supported by the Guardian Academy, the Yao Race had taken root and settled down in Qingmang Mountain. Nourished by Spiritual Veins, the clan was growing increasingly prosperous.

Old Ape Patriarch led the Yao Race youths to greet him at conservation... at the mountain pass, holding a spiritual orb condensed from the Spiritual Qi of Qingmang Mountain. "Domain Protector, this is the spiritual core of Qingmang Mountain. It can nourish Spiritual Veins as a modest expression of the Yao Race's sentiments."

Bai Yunzhou took the spiritual orb and condensed a wisps of the Power of Chaos from his fingertips, injecting it inside. "Integrated with the Power of Chaos, this orb can protect the Spiritual Veins of Qingmang Mountain for a hundred years. The Yao Race and the Northern Territory coexist, so there is no need to stand on ceremony."

He stayed at Qingmang Mountain for a day to check on the cultivation progress of the Yao Race youths. Seeing that the Yao Race teenagers had achieved success in their studies at the Guardian Academy and were as close as family with the human Disciples, he felt greatly gratified.

When he returned to Black Stone City, it happened to coincide with the Guardian Academy's monthly cross-hall sparring. On the Martial Arts Arena, Sword Hall Disciples paired with Array Hall Disciples were sparring and competing against Body Hall Disciples and Talisman Hall Disciples.

The Sword Hall Disciples had fierce sword Moves, and the Array Hall Disciples set up supporting Formations, combining offense and defense. The Body Hall Disciples had formidable physiques, and the Talisman Hall Disciples used talismans to aid the Formation, showing matchless ferocity.

By the edge of the Martial Arts Arena, the Elders of each hall sat upright and offered critiques, pointing out the shortcomings of the Disciples. Bai Yunzhou stood behind the crowd, looking at the figures of the youths striving forward with full of expectations in his eyes.

After the sparring ended, Bai Yunzhou stepped onto the martial arts stage and said loudly, "Cross-hall sparring emphasizes coordination. The path of Dao protection has never been a solitary journey for one person; only with one heart can one uphold the Dao."

He personally presented awards to the winning Disciple team. The prizes were Body Tempering Pills refined by the Pill Hall and Dao Protection Talismans drawn by the Talisman Hall, both of which were practical cultivation items.

The defeated Disciples were not discouraged either, and they all gathered around the Elders to ask for guidance. The Martial Arts Arena was permeated with an atmosphere of diligent study, good thinking, and mutual assistance.

Night fell. While Bai Yunzhou was organizing the cultivation texts of the Guardian Academy in his study, Su Wanqing arrived with a confidential report from the Intelligence Hall, her expression carrying a hint of abnormality.

"Domain Protector, investigations by the Intelligence Hall show that anomalies of the Power of Nothingness have appeared in several minor realms surrounding the Northern Territory, as if spatial passages are opening everywhere."

"Those minor realms are weak in strength and have already been mostly eroded by the Power of Nothingness. Many Cultivators have fled to the Northern Territory, requesting protection from the Guardian Alliance."

Bai Yunzhou took the confidential report, his brows slightly furrowed. "It seems that the spatial fluctuations of the Realm of Nothingness are not solely targeting the Northern Territory, but have affected the entire Star Domain. The ancient spatial Seals are all loosening."

"Send a message to Alliance Leader Tianxing to immediately convene the Alliance Council of Elders to discuss the matters of accepting Cultivators from the minor realms and reinforcing the surrounding minor realms. When the lips are gone, the teeth feel cold; we cannot afford not to guard against this."

Early the next morning, the Alliance Council of Elders of the Guardian Alliance was held in the Alliance Grand Hall of Black Stone City. Representatives from the seven core Sects, the four major Sects, and various branch academies gathered together to discuss important matters.

True Monarch Tianxing spoke first. "The surrounding minor realms have been invaded by the Power of Nothingness, leaving Cultivators displaced and heading to the Northern Territory for refuge. What do you all think should be done with them?"

Master Cangwu Zi pondered and said, "The Northern Territory has just experienced turmoil; although it has recovered, it still needs time to recuperate and rest. However, if we refuse to accept them, we might lose popular support, and once the minor realms are destroyed, the Northern Territory will directly face the sharp edge of the Void Clan."

Sword Sovereign Hanbing nodded in agreement. "Sect Head Cangwu's words are entirely correct. We can demarcate an area in the eastern part of the Northern Territory to resettle the refugee Cultivators, screen the talented ones to be incorporated into the Guardian Academy, and enroll the rest into the Guardian Army to guard the borders."

Bai Yunzhou took over the conversation. "What the two Seniors said is very good. I will add three points: First, to resettle the refugee Cultivators, we must send specialized personnel to manage them and teach them the method to purify the Power of Nothingness, preventing them from carrying residual nothingness qi."

"Second, form the Northern Territory Guardian Coalition, jointly composed of Guardian Academy Disciples, Alliance Cultivators, refugee Cultivators, and the Yao Race, to separately guard the spatial strategic points of the Northern Territory and the surrounding minor realms."

"Third, I will lead a team to head to the surrounding minor realms to investigate the status of the spatial passages, reinforce the Seals, and provide reinforcements to the minor realms that have not yet been destroyed, minimizing casualties to the greatest extent possible."

Everyone had no objections. This matter concerned the safety of the entire Star Domain, and as the only region currently capable of resisting the Power of Nothingness, the Northern Territory bore a responsibility it could not shirk.

After the meeting concluded, the Alliance took immediate action, carving out a place of habitation in the eastern part of the Northern Territory, and dispatched Pill Hall and Talisman Hall Disciples to the settlement points to purify the residual nothingness qi on the refugee Cultivators.

The Guardian Coalition was rapidly formed, with Zhou Zhiting serving as the commander-in-chief to integrate forces from all sides and drill day and night, preparing to set out at any time. Meanwhile, Ling Shuang continued to be stationed at the Ice Plain Branch to reinforce the core Seal of the Northern Territory.

Three days later, Bai Yunzhou led a hundred elite Disciples of the Guardian Academy, along with experts from the four major Sects such as Cangwu Qingfeng and Zixia Ling, transforming into a stream of light to reinforce the surrounding minor realms.

Their first stop was the Liuyun Domain, which was closest to the Northern Territory. The Liuyun Domain had already been mostly eroded by the Power of Nothingness; heaven and earth were shrouded in a hazy gray, Spiritual Veins were snapped, and cities were in ruins.

Only the main city of the Liuyun Domain was still holding out stubbornly. The city lord led the remaining Cultivators to set up a city-protecting grand Formation, but it was already at the end of its tether. The light of the grand Formation was dim and it could shatter at any moment.

Seeing Bai Yunzhou and his party arrive, the city lord of the Liuyun Domain felt as if he had seen a savior, and hurriedly opened the city gates to welcome them. "The Northern Territory Domain Protector has graced us with his presence, and everyone in the Liuyun Domain is endlessly grateful!"

Bai Yunzhou did not exchange many pleasantries and headed straight for the center of the city-protecting grand Formation. "City Lord, do not panic. First reinforce the city-protecting grand Formation, then clear out the Power of Nothingness within the domain, and finally Seal the spatial passage."

He raised his hand to deploy the chaos domain-protecting seal, injecting the Power of Chaos into the grand Formation. The light of the grand Formation instantly surged, and the originally dim runes lit up once more, resisting the erosion of the Power of Nothingness.

The hundred elite Disciples of the Guardian Academy split into several teams to clear out the Power of Nothingness across various parts of the Liuyun Domain, while Cangwu Qingfeng and Zixia Ling led Cultivators to repair the snapped Spiritual Veins.

As for Bai Yunzhou, he followed the city lord of the Liuyun Domain to the location of the Liuyun Domain's spatial passage—Falling Cloud Valley. The space within the valley was distorted and filled with gray fog; a spatial passage was opening at fifty percent capacity, and countless black figures of nothingness were drilling out from within.

The ancient Seal beside the passage had long since shattered, with only sporadic runes flickering, completely incapable of stopping the invasion of the Void Clan.

"Everyone, charge with me! First slay the black figures of nothingness, then re-establish the Seal!" With a low shout from Bai Yunzhou, the chaos green lotus sword was drawn from its sheath, and a cyan-gray sword qi slashed straight ahead.

The elite Disciples of the Guardian Academy were all seasoned veterans. Wielding their dao protection swords, their sword qi contained the Dao Protection Intent, allowing them to slaughter the black figures of nothingness as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Cangwu Qingfeng used Cangwu Sword Intent to set up a containment Formation, trapping the void shadow within it, while Zixia Ling used Zixia spiritual power to condense a purifying light barrier, annihilating the Power of Nothingness within the Formation.

In a short moment, the void shadows in Luoyun Valley were completely cleared out. Bai Yunzhou walked up to the spatial passageway, waved his hand, and several chaos xuanhuang seals along with ancient ice talismans flew out.

"Chaos as the foundation, xuanhuang as the Seal, ice souls to condense forms, Dao protection as a shield, heaven and earth sealed, nothingness isolated!"

Bai Yunzhou shouted loudly, his hand Seals shifting as the Power of Chaos, xuanhuang power, ice soul power, and Power of Dao Protection intertwined, merging into the chaos xuanhuang seals and ancient ice talismans.

Several forces transformed into a massive sealing light barrier, smashing heavily onto the spatial passageway. The opening degree of the passageway shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the gray fog gradually dissipated.

The Void Clan at the other end of the passageway let out a shrill screech, but they were ultimately unable to break through the Seal. In the end, the spatial passageway closed completely, firmly locked by the new Seal.

After the Seal was completed, Bai Yunzhou used the Power of Chaos to nourish the Spiritual Veins of Liuyun Domain and set up several Chaos vein-protecting Formations. Between heaven and earth in Liuyun Domain, a trace of vitality gradually recovered.

The Liuyun Domain city lord led all the remaining Cultivators to perform the rite of three kneelings and nine kowtows toward Bai Yunzhou and his group: "Lord Guardian Envoy has recreated Liuyun Domain. Everyone in Liuyun Domain is willing to permanently attach to the Northern Domain and await your commands!"

Bai Yunzhou raised his hand to help the city lord up: "Liuyun Domain and the Northern Domain coexist; there is no need for annexation. In the future, join the Guardian Alliance, establish the Liuyun Domain guardian detachment, and guard the Seal here."

He left behind twenty elite Disciples of the Guardian Academy to assist in the reconstruction of Liuyun Domain, teaching the Cultivators methods to purify the Power of Nothingness and reinforce the Seal, before leading the group toward the next minor domain.

Over the following months, Bai Yunzhou and his group traveled across dozens of surrounding minor domains, clearing away the Power of Nothingness, repairing Spiritual Veins, reinforcing spatial Seals, and providing reinforcements to the remaining Cultivators.

All minor domains that received reinforcements voluntarily joined the Guardian Alliance, forming guardian detachments to guard their respective spatial Seals, connecting with the Northern Domain into a single piece to jointly resist the Void Clan.

The scale of the Guardian Coalition also expanded continuously, growing from tens of thousands of people initially to hundreds of thousands. Cultivators, the Yao Race, and survivors from various minor domains worked with one heart, condensing into a powerful force of Dao protection.

On this day, Bai Yunzhou and his group arrived at the last minor domain—Canglan Domain. The spatial passageway of Canglan Domain was located at Canglan Mountain within the domain, and its opening degree had already reached eighty percent. A Void King sat guard beside the passageway, and its strength was comparable to the Early Stage Body Integration.

The Void King was shrouded in dense Power of Nothingness. Wherever it passed, space collapsed and Spiritual Veins were annihilated. The Cultivators of Canglan Domain had almost all been killed or injured, leaving only dozens of elites to desperately defend the foot of Canglan Mountain.

Seeing Bai Yunzhou and his group arrive, a glimmer of hope after despair flashed in the eyes of the Canglan Domain lord: "Lord Guardian Envoy, that Void King is too formidable, and we are simply no match for it. Canglan Domain... is afraid it cannot be protected."

Bai Yunzhou looked up toward Canglan Mountain, his Chaos Eye piercing through the gray fog to see the massive Void King and the spatial passageway that was about to fully open.

"Canglan Domain is the final barrier of the Northern Domain and must never be lost. Today, right here, we shall slay the Void King and completely Seal the passageway!"

The Chaos Green Lotus Body all around him fully unfolded, activating the Chaos immortal trait. His Chaos Domain spread out for a hundred miles, suppressing the surrounding Power of Nothingness.

"Fellow Daoist Cangwu, Fellow Daoist Zixia, lead the others to guard the foot of Canglan Mountain and prevent the void shadows from escaping. I will go meet that Void King!"

Before his voice faded, Bai Yunzhou transformed into a cyan shadow, shooting straight toward the peak of Canglan Mountain. The chaos green lotus sword and the guardian sword merged into one, condensing a hundred-zhang-long Chaos guardian sword Qi.

"Mere human Cultivator, you dare to block the path of my Void Clan? Today, I will turn you into nothingness!" The Void King let out a hoarse roar, raising its hand to strike out a massive void palm print.

Wherever the palm print passed, space completely collapsed, turning into a domain of nothingness with the momentum to destroy everything, slashing straight toward Bai Yunzhou.

Bai Yunzhou's eyes narrowed as he slashed out with his full strength using the Chaos guardian sword Qi. The sword Qi fused the Power of Chaos, xuanhuang power, Power of Dao Protection, and ancient Sword Intent, carrying the dual powers of protection and purification.

Boom! The sword Qi and the palm print collided, producing a heaven-shaking explosion. Canglan Mountain trembled violently, rocks tumbled down, and the gray fog roiled.

A crack was cleaved through the void palm print by the sword Qi, and the Void King was blasted back repeatedly, a trace of disbelief flashing in its eyes: "You can actually break through my Power of Nothingness?"

Bai Yunzhou did not answer. His figure was like lightning as he charged forward once again, slashing the Chaos guardian sword repeatedly. The sword Qi crisscrossed, completely enveloping the Void King's entire body.

The Void King roared continuously, the Power of Nothingness around its body surging wildly to condense into several void spears that shot toward Bai Yunzhou. Wherever the spears passed, space was swallowed up.

Bai Yunzhou expanded his Chaos Domain, fully activating the Law-suppressing trait. The speed of the void spears plummeted drastically, and their power dropped sharply. He sidestepped to dodge them, and his sword Qi thrust straight at the Void King's glabella.

The Void King raised its hand to condense a void shield, but it was easily pierced by the Chaos guardian sword Qi. The sword Qi stabbed into the Void King's glabella, and the Power of Chaos and Power of Dao Protection surged in frantically.

"No—!" The Void King let out a shrill screech, and its massive body, under the annihilation of the Power of Chaos and Power of Dao Protection, gradually turned into wisps of void Qi, dissipating between heaven and earth.

After slaying the Void King, Bai Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, though his aura had also withered somewhat. A Void King of the Body Integration Stage was indeed formidable; this battle had consumed more than half of his Power of Chaos.

Pulling himself together, he walked up to the spatial passageway, sacrificing all the remaining chaos xuanhuang seals and ancient ice talismans on his body, and burned a wisp of essential blood to urge the full power of the Chaos Green Lotus Body.

"With my blood, I summon the power of the Dao; with my soul, I forge the protective Seal. Infinite heaven and earth, all realms guard together; this Seal shall never be broken for eternity!"

Bai Yunzhou shouted loudly as his essential blood and the Power of Chaos merged into the Seal. A sealing light barrier, even more brilliant than before, emerged and smashed heavily onto the spatial passageway.

The passageway closed completely, and the sealing light barrier transformed into countless runes, merging into the rocks of Canglan Mountain and becoming one with it to form a natural Seal that would never be broken for eternity.

After finishing all this, Bai Yunzhou could no longer support himself. His figure flickered as he plummeted from the peak of Canglan Mountain, but fortunately Cangwu Qingfeng and Zixia Ling arrived in time to catch him.

"Lord Guardian Envoy!" The two cried out in alarm together, hurriedly channeling spiritual power to replenish Bai Yunzhou's consumption.

Bai Yunzhou slowly opened his eyes, waved his hand, and smiled weakly: "It's fine, just excessive consumption. Rest for a moment and I'll be fine. The Seal of Canglan Domain will never be broken for eternity."

The dozens of Canglan Domain Cultivators at the foot of Canglan Mountain, seeing Bai Yunzhou slay the Void King and Seal the spatial passageway, all wept tears of gratitude and performed the rite of three kneelings and nine kowtows toward the peak of Canglan Mountain.

Bai Yunzhou recuperated in Canglan Domain for several days. Once most of his strength had recovered, he led the group back to the Northern Domain. This expedition to reinforce the surrounding minor domains had lasted three months and ended in a complete victory.

Dozens of surrounding minor domains all joined the Guardian Alliance, connecting with the Northern Domain into a single piece to form a Dao-protecting barrier spanning across the Star Domain. Solid spatial Seals were set up in each domain, guarded separately by the Guardian Coalition.

When they returned to Black Stone City, the entire city was decorated with lanterns and colored streamers, and the commoners lined the streets to welcome them. The Disciples of the Guardian Academy held fresh flowers, shouting "Long live the Guardian Envoy!" with voices that shook the firmament.

True Monarch Tianxing, Sword Sovereign Hanbing, Zhou Zhiting, Ling Shuang, and others personally came out of the city to welcome them. Seeing Bai Yunzhou return safely, all of them wore joyful expressions.

"Yunzhou, you've worked hard. In this reinforcement mission, you not only protected the surrounding minor domains, but also united the power of the Myriad Realms to jointly resist the Void Clan. This achievement is earth-shattering and unprecedented!" True Monarch Tianxing laughed heartily.

Bai Yunzhou bowed and said: "This is the merit of everyone, not my effort alone. Without the Seniors of the Alliance, without the Disciples of the Guardian Academy, and without the concerted efforts of Cultivators from all domains, there would certainly be no victory today."

The celebration grand ceremony was grandly held in Black Stone City. Representatives of Cultivators from the Myriad Realms gathered to jointly witness the growth of the Guardian Alliance and the grand spectacle of the Myriad Realms united in protecting the Dao.

During the grand ceremony, True Monarch Tianxing solemnly declared: "Starting from today, the Guardian Alliance is officially renamed the 'Myriad Realms Guardian Alliance', with Bai Yunzhou as the Alliance Leader, presiding over all matters concerning Dao protection across the Myriad Realms!"

"Appointing True Monarch Tianxing, Sword Sovereign Hanbing, and Master Cangwu Zi as Deputy Alliance Leaders, and Zhou Zhiting and Ling Shuang as Guardian Grand Generals to command the Myriad Realms Guardian Coalition, jointly guarding the Star Domain and resisting the void!"

Tens of thousands of Cultivators cheered in unison, their voices spreading across the Myriad Realms. Bai Yunzhou took the official Seal of the Myriad Realms Guardian Alliance Leader, standing atop the high platform as his gaze swept across the crowd below, his eyes full of firmness.

"Fellow Daoists, today we have formed the Myriad Realms Guardian Alliance, not for power or profit, but to protect this Star Domain, protect hundreds of millions of living beings, and guard the Righteous Path in our hearts!"

"The threat of the Realm of Nothingness has not yet been completely eradicated, and the ancient spatial Seal still risks loosening. But I believe that as long as the Myriad Realms share one heart and the resolve for Dao protection remains undying, there is no hurdle we cannot cross!"

"The path of Dao protection is long and arduous, but by walking, we will reach the end; the resolve to guard the Dao is firm, and with an unwavering heart, we will succeed. With the Myriad Realms of one heart, let us jointly protect the Star Domain, unwavering for eternity!"

"With the Myriad Realms of one heart, let us jointly protect the Star Domain, unwavering for eternity!"

Tens of thousands of Cultivators echoed in unison, their voices shaking heaven and earth, transforming into a powerful Power of Dao Protection that lingered above the Myriad Realms.

The setting sun cast its light over the sky of Black Stone City, illuminating Bai Yunzhou atop the high platform, illuminating the people below united as one, and illuminating this Star Domain that remained resilient after enduring countless hardships.

The bell of the Guardian Academy resounded once more across the Myriad Realms, carrying the obsession of protection, the hope of Legacy, and the conviction of the Myriad Realms sharing one heart, echoing between heaven and earth.
