"Then let’s set off now. There’s nothing left for us to do here," Ren said decisively.

The rest of the group nodded in agreement. They had wasted their time in this desolate place for far too long, and it was time to move forward.
As the seconds ticked by, a momentary silence enveloped them.
Suddenly, just a few paces from where they stood, a gleaming portal materialized, its ethereal glow illuminating the surrounding area.
Without allowing any further delay, they resolutely stepped forward, their bodies embraced by the portal’s ethereal light. With each passing moment, the familiar surroundings of their previous location faded behind them as they traversed the portal. It became a corridor of swirling colors.
As the last member of the group disappeared beyond the portal, a wave of energy rippled through its form. The portal began to waver and distort, like paper consumed by fire, until finally, with a soft sigh, it dispersed, leaving behind only a lingering echo of its existence.

Back in the ethereal realm of Spiritdrift, a somber scene unfolded within the once-thriving Heaven Peak City, now reduced to a desolate wasteland of ruins and devastation.
Amidst the shattered remains of the once majestic Heavenly Mist Palace, a mysterious figure emerged, their presence shrouded in an air of enigma and sadness.
The figure that materialized belonged to a young woman with striking features. Her flowing hair cascaded in a vivid shade of blue, complementing her porcelain complexion impeccably. Her eyes, a captivating azure hue, shimmered with an air of wisdom beyond her years.
As she stepped into view, a sublime breeze enveloped her, causing her ethereal, cerulean locks to sway gently, and her eyes to glimmer with an inner luminescence.
Adorned in an iridescent silk gown, the multiple hues of blue upon it glimmered reminiscent of a tranquil ocean’s surface. The fabric embraced her figure gracefully, delicately accentuating her feminine curves, while her slender neck and wrists were adorned with silver and moonstone jewelry, reflecting her otherworldly beauty.
Every movement she made emanated confidence and determination, as if she shouldered the burdens of the entire Spiritdrift realm within her heart. The desolated Heavenly Mist Palace seemed to stir in her presence, as if inspired by the faint glimmer of hope amidst the wreckage.
With unwavering resolve, she surveyed the dilapidated surroundings, her sapphire eyes resolute in their gaze.
She was none other than Yue Xin, the simple yet mysterious girl from the Heavenly Mist Palace.
"Hmm, it’s more or less the same. Nothing seems to have changed," she sighed, shaking her head in disappointment.
"These people... they’ve slaughtered everyone, from the Guardians of Light to the Heavenly Mist Palace. Most of the sects and factions were wiped out by them," she explained, her voice filled with a mix of anger and sorrow.
"In my previous life, they were responsible for the second downfall. And now, here we are again, facing a similar situation in this timeline," she muttered, a hint of resignation in her words.
Her gaze drifted towards the peak of the Heaven Ascension Mountain.
"Anytime now," she anticipated, her voice carrying a hint of excitement.
As if in response to her words, a resplendent burst of radiance erupted from the mountaintop, casting a brilliant light upon the desolate city. It was a fleeting moment of beauty amidst the darkness, and Yue Xin wasted no time. With a swift movement of her hand, she gracefully intercepted the radiant beam, its brilliance dissipating upon contact with her ethereal figure.
As quickly as the light had appeared, darkness engulfed the city once more, leaving no trace of the celestial display.
"In my previous life, Ling Tian obtained it and eventually became the Azure Dragon Sovereign," she recalled, a touch of nostalgia in her voice.
"But strangely, in this timeline, I haven’t heard any news about him," she commented, a sense of curiosity creeping in.
Yue Xin’s gaze turned inward briefly, contemplating the divergent paths this incarnation has taken.
In her previous life, Ling Tian was revered as a legendary figure, a true hero who single-handedly embarked on the colossal task of reconstructing the crumbling Cultivation World in the Spiritdrift world. With unwavering determination and unparalleled skills, she breathed new life into the shattered cultivation world, with the Azora Sword Sect emerging as the eminent force guiding this profound revitalization.
Through relentless perseverance, Ling Tian defied all odds and overcame insurmountable obstacles on his path towards growth. With an unyielding spirit, he transcended the limitations of mortal potential, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of power—the Void Transformation Realm. As he stood on the precipice of boundless existence, Ling Tian made the heart-rending decision to depart from the world he had fought so valiantly to restore, seeking new opportunities.
"Hmm, many things have taken a different turn. Like the appearance of Liang Yifei and the disappearance of the death domain," she noted, her tone thoughtful.
That’s right, not long after Liang ventured into the devil realm, one of the forbidden grounds, the death domain vanished completely.
The disappearance of the death domain not only sent ripples of unease throughout the hearts of the people but also left them in a state of profound confusion. It was a riddle that defied logic and reason, challenging the boundaries of their knowledge and understanding. Yet, before they could even fathom the implications of this enigma, a life-threatening event unfolded - The appearance of the Divine Spirit Palace and Heaven End Pavilion.
"With that thing in my possession, I now believe I am qualified to participate in the Heaven’s Will Battle," she declared, satisfaction seeping into her voice.
In her previous life, she hadn’t been given the opportunity to take part in such a momentous event. At that time, she was a mere cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm.
But this time, things would be different for her. She would seize the chance to rewrite her destiny. With determination glinting in her eyes, Yue Xin embraced the challenges and uncertainties that awaited her. This reincarnation was her ticket to greatness, and she wouldn’t let it slip away easily.
