CRACK... CRACK...
In the center of the Pan Mountain Gathering Place stood a Sun God Statue, meticulously carved from a colossal mountain stone.
It seemed to come alive.
Its once-closed eyes suddenly snapped open, emitting a blinding golden light as they gazed toward the heavens.
Then, the Crown Halo behind the Sun God Statue—a symbol of divinity and power—began to turn, like a set of precision gears.
The halo was engraved with countless individual Runes.
With every slight turn, the Runes would flash.
A soft sound accompanied their glow.
A sacred, scorching aura rapidly spread out from the statue.
The Sun God Statue raised a thick arm, tightly gripping a Long Saber. The blade was covered in complex Runes that seemed to flow with the Fire of the Sun.
It stared at the terrifying, sky-blotting foot above, its golden eyes flashing as the light around its body grew ever more brilliant.
The next second.
It violently raised its hand, thrusting the Long Saber upward.
