Era of great change.

Someone silently broke into Li Shenrong's room at midnight.

Inside his dimly lit room, Li Shenrong slowly opened his eyes. The figure broke into his room through the window and fell on the floor with a low thud. 

"Humm?" A slight trace of curiosity flashed across his eyes as he looked at the unconscious figure in-front of him.

After a while, the figure woke up slowly. 

"Number one genius of the Eastern territory could even break into someone's room at midnight. That sure is surprising." A slow voice rang out inside Ling Tian's ears. 

He moved his heavily injured body slightly and looked around vigilantly. Ling Tian's gaze fell on the figure sitting on a chair, right beside the window.

"Thank you for saving me." Ling Tian spoke weakly. Suddenly, remembering how he was being chased by that mysterious cloaked man, Ling Tian's body couldn't help but shiver. Even though that guy's cultivation wasn't much stronger than him, but, Ling Tian was no match for him. 

Thinking of this, Ling Tian stood up weakly. For someone as cautious as him, he wouldn't linger around inside someone else's room for without any good reason. 

"Your injuries are very serious, you should take rest." At that moment Li Shenrong spoke again. 

"Thank you brother for your kindness. One day, this Ling Tian will definitely repay your life saving grace. I don't want to implicate you with unnecessary trouble. So, it's better for me to leave as soon as possibly." Ling Tian said politely with a tone of gratitude. 

"No trouble at all. You don't need to worry about your enemies finding you. With me here, nothing will happen." Li Shenrong spoke again without looking. 

Hearing this, Ling Tian had to take a second look at Li Shenrong. He clearly could tell, the guy in-front of him had peak physic foundation realm cultivation, even lower than him. But his tone was full of arrogance, Ling Tian could feel the underlying indifference in Li Shenrong's voice. For some unknown reason, he chose to believe him. Ling Tian's mind was extremely exhausted, as soon as he relaxed a bit, he fell unconscious again. 

Standing in-front of the window, Li Shenrong's gaze stretched far into the distance as the gentle moonlight showered his handsome face with a touch of elegance. His deep black eyes were like two black holes that could devour eternity itself. 

After a while, he slowly sat down on his reclining chair and closed his eyes. 

….

A piece of news suddenly made the whole Sword sea continent boil with excitement. 

"Have you heard? Few days ago, a mystical ancient ruin was found near the capital, it is said that the treasure of the lost era will emerge inside the ruin."

"Mystical ancient ruin opened its gate! If lucky, you can gain heavenly treasures or godly ores." 

"Hahaha, my lucky time has come! Treasure from the Lost Era will be mine!" 

"Strong forces from all the five regions have gathered outside the ancient ruin. It is said that there are few demi-gods and true gods among them." 

"Looks like our eastern territory won't have any chance to get the treasure of the lost era. We don't even have a Dao sovereign, let alone demi-god and true god is too far fetched." 

"I will definitely change my fate and gain a treasure from the ancient ruin." 

Discussion's like this rang everywhere while every cultivators clamoured to join in the fun. 

Middle territory.

"A mystical ancient ruin has opened its gate. Send out our finest disciples to explore, wake up the ancestor and ask for advice." A sect master ordered, after hearing the news. 

"Go, take a Dao sovereign realm treasure with you and explore. Our temple cannot lose out to others." A temple master ordered his disciples. 

"Master, i want to go and try my luck. I have ninety percent confidence that the treasure of the lost era will be mine." A confident young genius spoke with determination. 

Northern sea territory. 

Sea Dragon palace.

"Ancestor, are you going to explore the Mystical ancient ruin?" Sea Dragon palace master asked the old man in-front of him. 

"Why not? In addition, i have to take revenge. Blood for blood, once i find him, i will destroy his entire lineage even if i have to sink the whole eastern territory underground." A terrifying aura erupted from the old man which made the palace master shiver in fear. 

He didn't dare to even let out a fart. 

Western territory.

"The mystical ancient ruin will be open soon. Gather our disciples and prepare for the exploration. Priority will be to gain the treasure of the lost era." A great clan's ancestor commanded. 

"Ancestor, eastern territory is so weak. How great of a treasure can emerge from that weak region." Someone couldn't help but ask. 

"Humph! What do you know? Back in those days, grand astral plane used to be the strongest and with the most power house. A great calamity struck the Azure sky world and the world broke into nine pieces. Currently, the grand astral plane is known as the eastern territory. Eastern territory was at the center of that disaster and took full brunt of the catastrophe." As the ancestor of the great clan spoke, remembering that bloody and terrifying spectacle, his old body couldn't help but shiver in fear. 

His descendants looked at each other in confusion. Because this was the first time they heard about this matter. Since their ancestor said so, they wouldn't dare to voice their thoughts. 

Eastern territory which was the weakest among the five regions, became the center of attention. True Gods and demi-gods were numerous as the clouds were on their way to the eastern territory. 

Because the world was about to welcome a new era and the continents were about to merge again, The slumbering demi-gods and gods started to wake up. Ancient nations, hidden clans and behemoths from the old eras started to appear one after another.

Geniuses appeared more frequently, be it heaven's chosen son or heaven's favourite daughters.
