High in the sky was an ancient Summer Immortal. He had existed at the apex of Deep Earth and had walked his own path. He was a hero to Deep Earth, as he had led the cultivators from there to open up new horizons in Revered Ancient. He had crushed the Brilliant Heaven Godfolk, given rise to heavenly daos in Revered Ancient, and ensured that countless Deep Earth cultivators also had the chance to reach the apex.

For the purpose of protecting Deep Earth, of advancing the path of immortals, and of advancing the limits of the cultivation system, he and his companions had ventured out into the unfamiliar starry sky. They had sought enlightenment and destined opportunities. It had been a journey that lasted untold years. Now, one of them had returned.

Underneath that same sky was a new Summer Immortal. Though he could not quite compare to the Summer Immortals of the past, he had walked his own path, and was also a hero to humankind. After Ancient Emperor Dark Serenity left, he had killed gods, he had conquered other species, and he had waged war for the sake of keeping humankind safe. He had sacrificed everything for the sake of humans. To him, Deep Earth wasn’t important. The countless other species weren’t important. The only thing that mattered to him was humankind!

As of this moment, an old Summer Immortal and a new Summer Immortal locked eyes. When they did…

Heaven collapsed. Intense rumbling sounds echoed out as ripples filled the sky, making it look like undulated fish scales. They rippled so dramatically that spots started to appear. Then, accompanied by deafening booms, the spots shattered. The entire sky was affected. It almost looked as if a host of enormous devil’s trumpet flowers were blooming.[1]
