Deep Within the Celestial Archive – The Forgotten Prophecy

Far away, hidden in the Celestial Archive—a place where only the most ancient and powerful beings could step—a golden scroll trembled.

For thousands of years, it had remained untouched. Sealed away. Erased from history.

Yet now—

As Xiao Tian shattered the balance of the cultivation world, the scroll glowed with divine energy.

A shadowy figure in silver robes stood before it, his expression grim.

He was Dao Lord Ming Tian, a Saint Realm expert from the Celestial Dao Sect.

And as he read the scroll's contents, his fingers clenched.

> "Beware the one who walks outside the Dao."

"He shall not bow to fate, nor to the heavens."

"His rise shall bring war to the celestial realm itself."

"He is the Heaven-Defier."

Dao Lord Ming Tian closed his eyes. "It's him. Xiao Tian… is the prophesized Heaven-Defier."

Behind him, an elder with golden eyes spoke cautiously. "If this prophecy is true, then he must be eliminated before he becomes unstoppable."

Ming Tian was silent for a long moment.

Then, he opened his eyes, filled with cold determination.

"Summon the Celestial Tribunal. If he is truly the Heaven-Defier…"

"Then the entire Divine Realm will move against him."

The Divine Realm Takes Notice

At the highest level of existence, beyond the mortal world, the Divine Realm was a place where only the strongest immortals and celestial beings resided.

At its center stood the Heavenly Immortal Court, where ancient gods and celestial rulers oversaw the fate of countless worlds.

And now, for the first time in ten thousand years, they had gathered for a single reason.

Seated upon a throne of divine energy, an ethereal figure with six glowing wings spoke.

"The Heaven-Defier has awakened."

The hall trembled. The gathered celestial beings whispered among themselves.

A warrior clad in black divine armor stepped forward. "Shall we destroy him now?"

A woman with nine golden tails smirked. "He is still in the mortal realm. We should observe him first. If he proves too dangerous… then we erase him."

The celestial lord raised a hand, silencing them.

"Send an envoy. Let him know… that the Divine Realm is watching."

The moment those words were spoken—

A golden ripple spread across the cosmos, a divine warning meant for one man.

And in the mortal world—

Xiao Tian suddenly felt a pressure unlike anything before.

He looked up at the sky, his golden eyes narrowing.

"So… the gods are watching me now?"

His lips curled into a smirk.

"Then let them watch. Soon, they'll realize—"

"No heavens can hold me."
