In the northern region of Shan State, in the Kachin Mountains, the sky and the earth, which were originally clear, were overcast in just a few dozen minutes.

The water that rose rapidly in the Linhai River roared, and even set off gusts of wind, turning into tornado-like pillars of wind, looming in mid-air.

Boom - You can see that there are winding thunder flashes in the dark rain clouds that suddenly gather, accompanied by a thunderclap, and the rain is dripping down on the earth with the strong wind.

The silent forests, the hectic scenic spots, and the unsuspecting tourist towns, the fierce flapping of branches and leaves, and the crowd's overwhelmed exclamations and shouts, but all of them were drowned out by thunder.

And between the mountains, the river flows, and suddenly the surging waves roll and lap on the shore, if there is a real person here, you can vaguely see that in these dragon-like mountains, like snake-like rivers, something glowing is flying, they turn into particles of light, and sink into the depths of some ancient mountain.

Boom –

There was another thunderclap, something brewing in the clouds, countless thunder snakes crisscrossed it, and it was foreseeable that a rare thunderstorm was about to take shape - and in the center of the thunder, there was a dragon and a snake-shaped thunder light crisscrossing the sky, stirring the heavens and the earth, its cyan light, like jade, as smooth and sacred, as if from above.

- Shan State.

In the center of Pinmana City, in front of a painting shop, a white-haired old man who was smiling and offering clean water to thirsty tourists had a slightly changed expression, he raised his head suspiciously, looked north, and his long beard trembled slightly.

“…… Has the time come to rectify the Fa? ”

Before he finished speaking, he shook his head slightly, as if sighing: "No. It's early, it's too early. It's late, it's too late. ”

- Jeongguk.

On the outskirts of Chuncheng in Dianzhou, in a small courtyard in the countryside, the middle-aged man who was splashing ink and painting was also slightly stunned, and his hands were a little slower. After reacting, the ink painting was already muddy, but he didn't care, there was a slight glint in his eyes, and he looked west.

"Open the world? How could it be so early, and how could it be there? ”

"No, it's not. But this breath ......."

- Zhu Guo.

"Kali Yuga is coming to an end."

In the midst of the mountains and rivers of Manipur, which means 'Treasure of the Serpent' (1), a thin old man who was meditating under a mountain waterfall opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the shining spiritual light in the north, recited a sentence in a low voice, and then closed his eyes again and continued to settle down, leaving only a muttering to himself, driven by the sound of the rushing water.

"The end is coming."

- Kachin Mountains, inside an ancient sacrificial cave.

From Bedouin, the leader of the Holy Serpent Prayer Society, who barely maintained his clarity, stared blankly, his old face was full of confusion, he looked up at the black rock dome, watching the Ouroboros phantom shatter, and the violent aura impact was like a bomb shockwave, knocking him and everyone else out in an instant.

At the same time, there was a sacred sound that ordinary people could not hear.

[No...... This is the last chance of the era! 】

The voice echoed through the hall with determination and anger.

【…… Never give up! 】

And in this moment.

The sky is broken.

With a thunderclap that almost deafened, the thick clouds that had covered the sky in just a few minutes, covering the sky tightly, shattered, and the dragon snake thunderclouds that were meandering and horizontal, and were clearly visible hundreds of kilometers away, also burst - the thunder snakes in the sky and the scattered clouds were intertwined, turning into ethereal spiritual light, quickly dissipating and fading in all directions, returning to the original clear sky.

In just one hour, the sky changed, and the clouds and rain rose and fell.

No matter how slow the Shan government was to react, it was shocked and sensed that something was wrong - the nearest army had already begun to mobilize and was ready to go to the border blockade, and the same was true for Zhengguo, the Dian Prefecture Military Region began to move, and the Wuzhi and land forces drove towards the western border.

Whoever it is, whether it is the establishment or opposition in the Shan country, or the caring people of friendly countries, everyone knows -

Something big is wrong with this place!

At this moment, the deepest part of the ancient Shan Seven Snake God Sacrifice Grotto, next to the prayer hall, is the 'offering place'.

Dozens of 'offerings' who were still asleep did not wake up even after continuous explosions, aura shocks, and even aura collapses—and even fell into a deeper sleep.

In this unlit cavern, there was nothing but sheer darkness—like the most horrible nightmare of all the sleepers today.

But now, in the dark dream of pure silence, there was a sudden voice.

[Wake up.] 】

In the dark dream, Shao Qiming heard something.

[Wake up.] 】

A deep, divine voice came from far away, and it carried a hint of guidance, allowing the young man's spirit to gradually awaken and detach from the dream.

Shao Qiming gradually left from the nightmare from which he had been plagued by illness since he was a child, becoming a burden to his family, friends, and even everyone, and he could not be relieved until death, and regained his ability to think.

[Someone needs you. 】

- Who? Who will need me?

Hearing this voice, the first thing that rose in Shao Qiming's heart was not doubt, but pure confusion.

Need? Haven't you always been a burden...... The burden of parents and families, the burden of friends and teachers...... Even if the whole class went on an outing together when he was a child, he had to help Su Sun carry his bag, otherwise, he would be out of breath and unable to move forward after walking a hundred meters.

Such a weak self...... I can only study hard, work hard in areas that have nothing to do with my body, and use my best grades to bring a smile to my worried parents.

Who will need him?

[Your friend. 】

Su Day.

Hearing this voice, the first thing that popped up in Shao Qiming's mind was this name. But along with it, there is also a deep inferiority, as well as a deep envy.

- Is there anything he needs my help with......

Although he thought so, this emotion quickly dissipated, and at this time, Shao Qiming's spirit was a little more sober, and he would even jokingly comfort himself: "At least he has to copy my homework - although I think he can write it if he tries his own." ”

How can I help him?

Only friends can help him, and only friends can save him. 】

The sacred deep voice sounded, and the meaning seemed to have a deep meaning.

[Wake up.] 】

So, Shao Qiming woke up.

Leaving from the nightmare, he instinctively got up from the ground, and then looked around - even though the cave was pitch black, there were still scattered spiritual debris on the ground, releasing a faint light, Shao Qiming used this light to see clearly that he was now in a rock cave, and around him, all the bus tourists who had fallen asleep.

And the people who have been sleeping here are all now distressed and uneasy, as if they are having nightmares...... If it weren't for that mysterious voice, he would be one of them, right? But let's not talk about that, where is this?

Moreover, why can't you see Su Sun?

Wait a minute...... Right! Su Day! Su Sun needs my help!

The general structure of the cave and the number of people in it, the characteristics of each person, were clearly remembered in a few seconds, Shao Qiming got up, he got the mysterious guidance in the dark, and knew that Su Sun was not here.

And the sound of guidance sounded at the same time.

[Forward.] 】

[To the left.] 】

[Go forward to the gate.] 】

In normal times, Shao Qiming is not a person who will obey the mysterious voice, but because it is related to the missing Su Sun, he can only patiently follow the guidance of the other party, turn through the narrow cave passages, and come to an ancient, but now distorted gate.

At this moment, Shao Qiming could smell an extremely obvious smell of wood burning, the smell of meat, and a disgusting smell of miasma and blood, which I don't know if it was stinky or sweet, in short, extremely strange miasma. He could hear the sound of guidance calling him to open the door and enter it, and his friend was inside.

So he pushed the door open with great difficulty.

Then, stunned in place.

(1) Manipur, the easternest state of the Zhu country, bordering the Shan country, the meaning of the name is 'treasure, pearl', which originated one day, when a snake watched Shiva and Barvodi dance, and the snake spit out many pearls from its mouth, making the whole region dazzling and brilliant, as recorded in the Mahabharata and the Purana.
