Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

Above the heavens, among all living beings on earth.

Cause and effect are intertwined; destiny is woven into its own story.

[The grand scheme of heaven and earth unfolds into a calamity, drawing in revered celestial beings from all directions.]

Together, we will perform in this destiny-ordained drama.

Eight majestic celestial beings stand tall.

[Eight ancient surnames originating from antiquity, participating in the struggle between human and emperor dynasties, and spanning two eras.]

The revealed depth of their power is enough to awe the world.

You look up, your eyes, like a broken mirror, dismantle and reveal your true nature.

Discover that their seemingly ordinary arrangement reveals the ancient mysteries of the evolution of all things.

[I won't wait for your further analysis.]

[Strange phenomena appeared in the sky, tilting and lowering, while the earth trembled as if a dragon were turning over, shattering into pieces.]

Crimson flames erupted from the cracks, melting the rock and soil, and the intense heat distorted space itself.

Mountains have been cleaved and crushed, rivers have overflowed and surged...

All things in heaven and earth regard you as their enemy and will strive to kill you.

"A mediocre person is arrogant, ignorant of their own limitations, and dares to challenge the established order of the world..."

"Hmph! Nothing but filth and grime."

"Those who recklessly defy fate will ultimately die by its own design."

[A magnificent and vast voice, imbued with sublime power, will destroy your will and shatter your soul.]

Strange celestial phenomena indicate that powerful enemies are lurking all around.

In an instant, you will be plunged into the abyss of death.

[Like tiny ants, they have absolutely no chance to resist.]

[You listen to the condescending comments of the celestial beings, and judge your fate with disdain.]

Her refined face was serene and serene, her brows and eyes like distant peaks, parting the clouds to reveal a fierce and menacing aura.

Facing a life-or-death situation.

There was no retreat or retreat whatsoever.

[Those eyes, gazing at the sky, are firm and unwavering.]

An invisible, traceless aura of will lingers in the pupils.

[A terrifying scene unfolds where time and space are distorted.]

You pace back and forth, sword in hand; the black-clad figure holds a seal.

The sounds of ancient melodies linger.

"Over the past two hundred years, I have witnessed the sorrows of all living beings and cannot bear the chaos in the world..."

You glare at me coldly, your black robe billowing wildly.

"I defied the heavens to save the people, not seeking the power of heaven and earth, but unexpectedly inviting calamity."

Your tone was self-deprecating, but your eyes betrayed a hint of sarcasm.

Bearing immense pressure and deadly danger, you resolutely move forward.

[Leaving its mark on the earth.]

The ancient voice suddenly rose in pitch, angrily demanding, "Why...why are you stopping me...?"

[The thunderous roar, like a sudden clap of thunder, echoed throughout the world.]

[From north to south, you brought clouds and rain along the way, erected monuments, established words of wisdom and rules, and saved countless people.]

Everyone was deeply shaken.

Overwhelmed with emotion, tears welled in her eyes, and she bowed her head in gratitude.

At the same time, a thought I'd never had before arose in my mind.

Yes, in chaotic times, people are devoured. The celestial beings, high above, disregard the kneeling prayers of the common people.

A great and virtuous teacher saves the world and its people, bringing blessings to all.

Why would someone who has performed great deeds be cursed with death and destined to perish?

They had finally seen a glimmer of hope.

[Yet it was the very heavens, which we looked up to, that strangled and destroyed it.]

In the past, they endured in silence, struggling bitterly, daring only to lament their own baseness, never daring to question the heavens.

But at this moment...

A tiny spark takes root in the hearts of all beings.

They also wanted to condemn it.

[The world is unjust!]

The eight ancient aristocratic families, with their celestial beings, looked down with indifference and detachment.

[Even when you refute me, I remain arrogant and self-important.]

[They don't even want to answer your questions.]

It felt like the feeble lament of an ant on its deathbed.

But then the sound spread throughout the world, etched itself into the minds of all living beings, and planted a seed of fire in their hearts.

[Sensing the tremors of the overall situation and the impending doom.]

His expression changed drastically.

[At the center stood an elderly man in a dark brocade robe, his face ancient and dignified.]

[Immediately use the Heavenly Stem and Earthly Branch (乾) to perform divination.]

Mysterious and unpredictable hexagrams are etched in the void, suggesting the origins of this dramatic change.

Having lived in a superior position for too long, they have long forgotten to look at the common people.

[I simply don't believe in that tiny, fleeting spark of hope.]

[It can influence the overall situation and bring about a deadly crisis.]

The predictable outcome completely overturned his understanding.

"Impossible... How could a mere mortal like myself influence the larger situation!"

The other celestial beings all showed unusual expressions.

They naturally trusted the old man's judgment.

"Kill him quickly..."

The old man in the black robe tore away his ethereal facade, revealing a chilling glint in his eyes.

The celestial phenomena, accompanied by his will, resembled a real collapse, crashing down upon you.

The surrounding terrain, blazing lava, and treacherous mountains... all combine to create a deadly atmosphere.

Your furious, questioning expression suddenly froze for a moment.

[I sensed the spark planted in the hearts of all beings.]

I was deeply moved.

A single spark can start a prairie fire...

"Hehehe... Hahahaha..."

A smile played on your lips, followed by a wide, unrestrained laugh.

[The eight celestial beings were unaware that you not only surrendered to the terrifying attack but also laughed loudly.]

But he acted without the slightest hesitation.

[Ruthless and vicious.]

[You gradually quieted your laughter, sensing that your senses were already upon you, dragging you into an attack from which there was no escape.]

[The black hand makes a mudra, pointing towards the heavens.]

Witnessing the spark of hope strengthens your unwavering determination to never give up.

The black-themed keyword "Azure Sky"

[The moment you acquired it, you used it to suppress your rebellious nature.]

【now……】

[The confinement is lifted!]

The heavens crushed, the earth churned, mountains and marshes raged, and wind and fire swept across...

The attack, amplified by the combined power of celestial beings and humans, descended.

A terrifying explosion erupted, and then the world fell into an eerie silence.

[After the various attacks collided, only a pale white remained, making everything else pale in comparison.]

It felt like an eternity.

[Boom...]

[A terrifying momentum was building, about to erupt, as a horrific aftershock spread.]

[Black smoke, like ink spilled on white paper, falls amidst a scene where everything loses its color.]

[Stained with marks that cannot be ignored.]

[Originally, an attack capable of devastating the world, spreading rampantly, and destroying everything.]

As the black mist spread, it was gradually and completely obscured.

【then……】

[It silenced all sound, drained the world of its color, leaving only a pale, destructive attack.]

[It vanished like a mirage.]

[Completely erased.]

A middle-aged man standing firmly on the ground, exuding a dignified and composed aura.

[Upon witnessing the scene before him, his eyes widened in disbelief.]

"The attack... has been reversed!"

This inconceivable thought caused him, a sublime celestial being, to gasp in surprise.

[They suffered the shock of a collapse of their beliefs.]

[Eight celestial beings joined forces, subtly aligning with the principles of the Eight Trigrams.]

[Let alone those in the Five Realms who act recklessly based on fate, even true celestial beings would find themselves here.]

They will all pay a heavy price.

[A passive position.]

What's even more unbelievable is...

You did not defend against or evade the attack.

Instead, it will encompass everything...

[A reversal of fortune.]
