Xingzhu City, the Wan family.

This splendid palace is spacious, luxurious, but deserted.

Temple of Heaven.

Today we have a special person here, an old man with white hair and beard, but full of energy.

"Old Patriarch. "The only attendant of the Temple of Heaven, the old servant, knelt respectfully and saluted.

"Lao Wang, you are still alive. The old patriarch said with a little embarrassment. "Ten thousand of our generation, now there are only you and me left. ”

"The villain still has to take care of Miss Qianyu, and the villain doesn't dare to die first. The old servant said with a calm face, what was in front of him was Wan Zuiyan, the patriarch of the Wan family, now I am afraid that he is nearly 100 years old, and many outsiders even think that this living ancestor has passed away... Now in Wanjia, he is the most senior person.

"I'm here in the Temple of Heaven, you should be able to guess what's going on, right?" Wan Zuiyan's eyes were a little solemn.

"Mademoiselle's physical condition is very poor. The old servant raised his head slightly, but said without giving way, "There is no way she can go out." ”

"There is a great cataclysm in the south of the empire. "Something is wrong with the Eternal Forest, where an endless sea of undead is pouring out, and a tenth of the entire southern realm is reduced to hell on earth in a day. ”

"Mademoiselle is unwell. The old servant's gaze was firmly fixed on Wan Zuiyan, extremely firm.

"You should know the prophecy of the Second Sage ten years ago, right?" Wan Zuiyan and the old servant looked at each other, and the tense atmosphere flowed between the two.

"The Second Sage is a great man, but he is not an astrologer, nor a prophet, nor a great prophet. The old servant's voice was unfazed. "The catastrophe he prophesied to end the world... Do you believe it? The previous Xingzhu Emperor believed it? He didn't believe it, otherwise he wouldn't have executed the Second Sage. ”

"I believe it. After being silent for a while, Wan Zuyan spit out two words, "You have been in this Heavenly Temple all these years, do you know what is happening in the outside world? The phenomenon of [gray forest] in various parts of the continent... Half a year ago, all the forces just watched the dark palace collapse of the Qin Gate..."

"So what?" said the old servant's gaze did not waver. "I don't believe in those prophecies, as for Qinmen... Their ancestors were great people, but they were already rotten from within, arrogant, incompetent, greedy ... These are the reasons for their demise. ”

"If I don't talk to you about this, I'll just ask a question. Wan Zuiyan's tone changed suddenly, like a high monarch looking down on his courtiers.

"The empire needs the power of a thousand feathers, and you don't agree. ”

The old servant burst out laughing, his wrinkled face almost twisted into a ball.

"The Emperor's orders?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then I don't agree that it works?"

"Nope. ”

"Then you go in. The old servant suddenly seemed to be much older, leaning against the fence, and looking at the back from afar with an indescribable loneliness.

Entering the Heavenly Palace, which was resplendent and splendid, but so empty that it made people's hearts uncomfortable for a while, Wan Zuiyan suddenly became a little nervous.

He is about to face one of the most powerful and uncontrollable people in the world.

"Who are you?" The little girl peeked her little head out of the pile of golden stones and looked curiously at the old man who came in.

"I am... I'll come..."Wan Zuiyan looked at the little girl's innocent eyes, and suddenly didn't know what to say, yes, this is his great-granddaughter... It's a pity that she doesn't know his grandfather...

"Do you need the strength of a thousand feathers?" the little girl looked at the old man for a moment, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

"Hmm. The old man nodded with some difficulty.

"Then take Chiba away... Isn't the meaning of Qianyu's existence here just waiting to be used one day?"

“... Yes......" Wan Zuyan smiled bitterly, his eyes gradually becoming firm.

"Can Chiba bring a toy?"

"Yes..."

The little girl happily took out a very ordinary-looking pebble from under the pile of stones, but on top of the pitch-black pebbles, there were dots of stars, as if it were a vast starry sky.

Although it is true that this stone is just an ordinary pebble.

"Qianyu, can I hold your hand?" Wan Zuiyan suddenly asked.

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and then the purest smile on her face.

"Yes, grandpa. ”

Star Bamboo City, Star Island.

It is difficult for people who have not been to Xingzhu City to imagine that there is an [island] suspended above Xingzhu City all the year round, which is about one-tenth of the size of Xingzhu City's [Xingchen Island], Xingchen Island is suspended in the sky of Xingzhu City at a height of thousands of meters, and it is constantly drifting, like an iceberg floating in the sea.

The only miracle in this world is the seat of the royal family of the Xingzhu Empire, although the Xingzhu Emperor holds court meetings every day, and when he meets the minister, he is really in the [Star Palace] in the center of Xingzhu City below, but this Xingchen Island is completely exclusive to the royal family, and only those who are eternally of royal blood are qualified to live on it... And on Star Island, the fairyland-like environment is also the proud capital of the royal family.

On Star Island, [Ancestral Ancestral Hall].

Here are enshrined dozens of emperors of the Xingzhu Empire for thousands of years, some of them are famous and have led the Xingzhu Empire to become stronger and stronger, and there are also individual emperors, who are even spurned by the ages. The purpose of their existence here is to warn future generations.

In the ancestral hall full of incense and candles, a man who looked very young was half-kneeling, and kowtowed respectfully to dozens of two people above the ancestral hall...

"Ancestors... Now our Star Bamboo Empire... Even the entire continent is about to fall into a great catastrophe, please take more shelter from our people..."This looks handsome and extraordinary, and the temperament is even more perfect is the current Star Bamboo Emperor... When the last Xingzhu Emperor died, his age was actually quite young, and in this world full of magic, there were not many ways to solve the problem of illness and longevity...

Therefore, every emperor retired or died at a very old age...

The previous Xingzhu Emperor died before he was sixty years old, and now this heir is a bit of a duck into battle, but it cannot be denied that the ability of this Xingzhu Emperor is beyond doubt, and he can manage the operation of the entire court meeting alone in less than three days after taking office.

"The Emperor. "A very beautiful woman wears a garment made of fur from an extremely rare mink beast.

"Concubine Wan, you're here. ”

"Emperor, you've been praying here for three hours... My father has already sent news that Miss Qianyu has embarked on the road to the south of the thousands. ”

The Xingzhu Emperor's originally serious face changed slightly. "I'm sorry for that kid... Hopefully she can give us hope. ”

"That is the only [end] left by the [gods] in the world. ”
