"Assessing convergence intensity…"

"Assessment complete."

"Current Descent tier: Overall ''Second Tier''. ''Great Xia Capital'' and ''Jiangnan Prefecture Capital'' are experiencing ''First-Tier Descents''. ''Shaoxin City in Jiangnan Prefecture'' and ''Yang City in the Northeast Prefecture'' are experiencing ''Second-Tier Descents''."

"Contacting local battle divisions."

"Emergency alert! A ''First-Tier Descent'' is about to begin!"

"Emergency alert! A ''Second-Tier Descent'' has been detected!"

---

''Dimensional Command Center, Great Xia Prefecture.''

Urgent alarms blared across the command halls, and figures moved in a flurry of motion.

Some sprinted with urgency.

''Whoosh!''

The elder appeared in a flicker of golden energy.

"How many rifts have opened so far?" His voice was low, yet it carried the weight of command.

"Currently, thirty-five have been detected. Among them, one is a ''Sixth-Tier Descent'', three are ''Fifth-Tier Descents'', ten are ''Fourth-Tier Descents'', and twenty are below the Fourth Tier. The number is still increasing, and we are unable to predict the final count."

A middle-aged official spoke with grim determination.

"What of the ''Xuanwu Army'' and ''Zhuque Army''? Can we pull forces from the ''Qinglong Army'' and ''Baihu Army''?" The elder's expression darkened as he inquired.

"The ''Xuanwu Army'' and ''Zhuque Army'' have already mobilized. However, redirecting the ''Qinglong Army'' and ''Baihu Army'' will be difficult— they are still engaged in combat against the invasion from the Sixth-Tier Realms." The middle-aged man's voice was heavy with concern.

"Then issue an order to the ''Education Hall''— mobilize the elite combat divisions to secure the safety of the ''Ten Major Base Cities''."

"Prepare for the evacuation of ''subordinate strongholds'' immediately."

The elder paused for a moment before issuing his decree.

"This…!"

The middle-aged man's eyes widened in shock.

The ''Great Xia Federation'' of today was far from its former self.

Beyond the ''Ten Major Base Cities'', countless ''Third Tier Strongholds'' had risen in prominence.

Evacuating them… was no small task.

"Carry out the order!"

"The ''Second Descent of Realms'' has already begun—and this is merely the prelude."

"We do not have the strength to safeguard the lesser strongholds."

The elder sighed softly, a bitter smile crossing his face.

"Understood!"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a brief moment, as if wanting to say more, but ultimately responded with a respectful nod before swiftly retreating.

The elder remained still, his sharp gaze locked onto the massive, ethereal screen before him. His brows furrowed even deeper, showing no signs of ease.

There was no choice— this abrupt upheaval had thrown the entire Great Xia Federation into turmoil.

The fragile equilibrium they had painstakingly maintained was shattered in an instant.

And worse still was the unknown nature of this Second Great Descent.

If the first descent had already pushed Blue Star to the brink, then what calamities would this second one bring?

Would they even be able to withstand it?

Even he, a veteran of the previous dark era, had no certainty.

Blue Star was indeed extraordinary. It had endured through centuries of hardship, resisting forces that had threatened to consume it entirely. But how much of that survival had been due to sheer luck?

Those who had lived through that era knew the answer all too well.

Now, facing a second descent— one potentially far more devastating— could Blue Star still endure?

No one could say for sure.

But at this moment, these worries were known only to the elder himself.

The golden sigils continued to shimmer across the heavens, and with their final flickers, the frozen time and space resumed their natural flow.

Across Blue Star, countless beings erupted into frantic discussions, their voices tinged with anxiety.

Yet, amidst the rising unease, a different kind of emotion stirred within some— excitement.

The descent of realms was a harbinger of both destruction and opportunity.

The strongest warriors of Great Xia had all emerged during the first descent. Legends were forged in the crucible of battle, and now, with a second descent upon them, a new era of heroes was bound to rise.

Many conquerors of realms clenched their fists in anticipation.

But before the opportunity came the crisis.

Thirty-five dimensional incursions had already begun within Great Xia alone.

And across the entirety of Blue Star, the scale of this descent was far beyond anything they had ever seen.

''Great Xia Capital, Nanhai Prefecture.''

"Boom!"

The heavens roared as a storm of golden sands erupted, consuming the land in an instant. The lush greenery of the earth turned to endless dunes, swallowed by the ever-expanding desert.

"Hahahaha! Finally! This king has returned!"

A thunderous, chilling laughter echoed across the shifting sands.

A towering figure, dozens of stories high, rose from the desert storm. Its body was composed entirely of flowing sands, pulsing with an eerie golden radiance. Waves of power surged outward, and with each breath it took, the surrounding land was stripped of life, turning into an arid wasteland.

"Weaklings speak of dreams. But only those with true strength are qualified to dream."

"The weak? They are nothing but stepping stones beneath my feet!"

"What have I taken? Wealth? Glory? Trust? Life? Rain? And now you wish for me to return it? Hah! I've taken too much already!"

---

''Jiangdong Prefecture.''

A great sandstorm raged, and from its heart, a cloaked figure emerged.

The wind howled around him as he lifted a single hand, and with a mere flick of his fingers, the storm surged forth, devouring all in its path.

"If the weak cannot be protected, then where lies justice?"

"When one has no other path, it is natural to cry out for justice. But justice itself does not guarantee victory."

"The victors— only they decide what justice truly is."

---

''Jiangbei Prefecture.''

In the heart of the province, a colossal warrior materialized from the void, stepping into the world with an aura of undeniable dominance.

This was not merely a feeling.

The dimensional rifts had begun to tear open across Blue Star. What had once been conquered was now returning with vengeance.

And chaos was spreading.

---

''Shaoxin City, Great Xia Federation.''

Xiong Kuiwu's expression was grim as his hands clenched into tight fists.

"Third Tier..."

"Damn it! A Third Tier incursion in a place like this?!"

His voice was hoarse, filled with disbelief and frustration.

Just moments ago, word had arrived from the Great Xia Capital. Shaoxin Base City was about to be hit by a Third Tier descent.

A Third Tier descent!

A disaster of such magnitude was beyond the city's ability to resist. Even a lesser Third Tier descent would be enough to inflict catastrophic losses upon them.

Panic surged through him.

But then—

A thought flickered in his mind. A name.

His back straightened in an instant.

Wait.

''Him.'' His breath quickened as realization struck.

Shaoxin City alone could not withstand this calamity.

But they were not alone. He had not forgotten the terrifying power Jiang Chen had displayed not long ago.

Perhaps— just perhaps— they had a chance.

"Quick! Contact Great Xia's No. 8 Academy!"

"No! I will go myself!"

His voice rang out like a war drum, filled with urgency and determination.

For the fate of Shaoxin City, for the survival of its people—

There was no room for hesitation.
