Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

At that moment, the whole world fell silent.

The golden character "石" (stone) shone brightly in the sky, as if proclaiming something to the heavens and earth.

In those distant ancient times, this character once represented supreme glory.

That was Heaven and Earth's reward to the seven Stone Clan Immortal Kings.

Seven immortal kings led the Stone Clan soldiers to defend the Imperial Pass with their flesh and blood for three thousand years.

Their achievements, forged with their lives, moved heaven and earth.

Thus, the character "stone" was recognized by heaven and earth, becoming the highest honor for a clan.

However, history is always written by the victors.

In order to consolidate their rule, the immortals of immortality distorted the truth and twisted this glory into sin.

They erased the Stone Clan's achievements and turned the Guardians into sinners.

The sword mark between Qin Yuan's brows was still trembling slightly, releasing wisps of sword intent.

This sword mark has an extraordinary origin; it was left by the Tongtian Sect Leader himself to protect Qin Yuan.

Even if only a trace of sword intent is revealed, it is enough to change the color of heaven and earth.

This sword mark from Qingping is not something that just anyone can withstand.

Even the lofty Celestial King, the mighty Celestial Emperor, and even the will of the Perfect World would have to give way before this sword mark.

Yue'e stared at the earth-shattering scene before her, unable to recover for a long time.

Qin Yuan's words kept echoing in her mind.

Has the history of the Shi tribe really been altered as he claims?

Just then, deep within the celestial palace thousands of miles away, a weak consciousness suddenly awoke.

For some reason, the remnant immortal was left with only a wisp of his will, sleeping in the deepest part of the immortal palace.

At that moment, he felt that familiar bloodline fluctuation and was instantly filled with fear.

The remnant immortal's consciousness wandered within the immortal palace.

"This...this is the bloodline fluctuation of the Stone Clan! Could it be that the Seven Kings of the Borderlands have returned?"

The thought of this possibility made the remnant immortal's consciousness tremble.

If it weren't for someone's help back then, he would have died in that purge long ago.

But he quickly calmed down.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. The Imperial Pass is already sealed off; even the Seven Kings of the Borderlands could not break through and return."

"If it were truly them returning, given what I've done, I would probably have been reduced to ashes by now."

Thinking this way, the remnant immortal felt a little more at ease.

But then he thought of another possibility.

"Could it be... that a new genius has emerged among the Stone Clan, triggering a bloodline resonance?"

This idea greatly angered the Remnant Immortal.

They went to great lengths to suppress the Stone Clan into a clan of sinful blood, and now their descendants have emerged who can cause strange phenomena in the heavens and earth!

"Damn it! Those damned descendants of the Stone Clan, how dare they defy the will of Heaven!"

"They should be burdened with sins for generations to come, yet they are still able to cause such strange phenomena!"

The remnant immortal began to feel increasingly uneasy.

Despite being suppressed for countless years, the Stone Clan still manages to produce such exceptionally talented individuals.

This made him marvel at the tenacious vitality of this ethnic group.

However, he dared not act rashly and completely eradicate the Stone Clan.

Even though those seven Immortal Kings who guarded the Imperial Pass have been dead for many years, their power still remains.

No one knows whether they have truly perished completely, or if they left behind any contingency plans.

If we rashly exterminate the Stone Clan, we might alert those terrifying beings.

The power of the seven Celestial Kings still haunts him.

Even if he didn't know whether they were still alive or had retained any strength, he would never dare to take that risk.

However, he also couldn't just sit idly by and watch a Stone Clan genius grow up.

Once the other party truly matures, the truth of what happened back then might be revealed.

At that time, not only him, but the entire Changsheng family will face annihilation.

At that very moment, remnants of immortals also awakened in several other hidden places.

They also sensed the fluctuations of the Stone Clan's bloodline, that chilling power.

Several major clans of the Changsheng family also received the news one after another.

The news of the Stone Clan's bloodline awakening was like a bombshell, exploding among the various factions.

Soon, a secret meeting was held deep in the void.

The attendees included the consciousness of a remnant immortal and representatives of longevity families.

They agreed that this threat must be eliminated as soon as possible!

To ensure everything went perfectly, they decided to spare no expense.

A large amount of precious resources were mobilized, and countless forbidden artifacts were activated.

The passage between the two worlds, which originally took half a year to open, was compressed into half a month thanks to the frenzied investment of these forces.

This crazy act is enough to show their fear of the Stone Clan bloodline.

In their view, it's better to nip the threat in the bud than risk the truth being exposed.

In an instant, undercurrents surged throughout the world.

Various forces began to secretly mobilize, and countless undercover agents were dispatched.

They need to completely eliminate this threat within half a month.

Dark clouds began to gather in the sky.

This was no ordinary celestial phenomenon; rather, it was a sign that heaven and earth sensed the impending great battle.

The premature opening of the passage between the two worlds will inevitably trigger greater turmoil.

In the lower realm, Shi Hao looked up at the sky. Although the huge character "Shi" had disappeared, it had left an eternal mark on his heart.

This is the fate of their Stone Clan, and also their shackles.

Thinking of the persecution the Stone Clan suffered by those immortal families and crippled immortals, Shi Hao clenched his fists.

He stood in the training ground and spoke solemnly to Qin Yuan.

"Brother Yuan, I will make those people pay the price!"

Qin Yuan gently stroked Shi Hao's head.

"It's too early to talk about these things now. What you need to do is cultivate yourself and become stronger."

Shi Hao nodded emphatically: "I understand, Brother Yuan. I will definitely train diligently and grow stronger as soon as possible!"

Seeing Shi Hao's energetic appearance, Qin Yuan pondered to himself.

Many of those imprisoned Venerables were descendants of the Seven Kings of the Borderlands.

Killing them rashly would not only be pointless, but would also mean losing an important bargaining chip.

If these people are used properly, they can be used to exchange for resources and provide assistance to Shi Hao and his group's cultivation.

After all, to fight against such a powerful force as the Longevity Clan and the Remnant Immortal, he alone is far from enough.

He needs to cultivate his own power base and build a reliable team.

And now is the best time.

Across the eight regions, discussions about the awakening of the Stone Clan's bloodline abound.

In a remote valley in the country of Ishihara, Ishihara stood alone in front of a giant rock.

He reached out and touched his glowing forehead, lost in thought.

Qin Yuan spared him that day not out of mercy, but out of disdain.

His mother orchestrated the removal of his forehead bone, and now she has paid the ultimate price for it.

This price was perhaps destined long ago.

A phantom figure appeared beside Ishihara; it was an ancient woman with double pupils.

Ishihara turned around and asked, "Senior, why did you choose to guide me instead of Qin Yuan, who is also a person with double pupils?"

The woman with double pupils said calmly, "He doesn't need my guidance at all."

"Besides, even if I wanted to teach, I probably wouldn't be able to teach anything."
