Ryan Skyfall had just arrived in the hall—
When suddenly, waves of excited, almost fanatical shouting erupted!
Thousands of Adventurers surged forward, scrambling like starving wolves who hadn't eaten for days.
Ryan had been a Lord for decades and had visited dozens of territories, but he had never seen anything like this.
Was this really necessary?
It wasn't as if they lacked resources.
Yet the Adventurers in Miracle City were clearly different.
Every single one of them had shining eyes, filled with genuine excitement and anticipation.
No matter what the Secret Realm contained—
It clearly brought them real joy.
And as a creator himself, Ryan understood something deeply:
> There is no greater satisfaction than seeing people truly love your creation.
At that moment, even without seeing the Secret Realm himself, he already knew—
His own creations couldn't compare.
Not in passion. Not in impact.
A trace of frustration rose in his heart…
But so did curiosity.

The Crowd Erupts
"I finally made it! Miracle City is the only joy in my life now!"
"Don't say that—Miracle City will last forever!"
"I beat the Supreme Hunter yesterday! Today I'm going after Elizabeth!"
"Looking for team—Raging Tide Arena!"
"I'm finally beating the Red Oni today!"
As laughter and chatter filled the hall, one Secret Realm crystal after another lit up.
Then suddenly—
A scream.
"HEY! LOOK!"
"What now?"
"The Ten Kingdoms Chronicle… it UPDATED!"
Ethan Windwalker (formerly Feng Zhongmian) froze.
"What? Ashina already got new content?"
"No—it's a NEW chapter!"
Even Marcus Stonehammer (formerly Blackstone Hammer King) was shocked.
"Impossible. Only a few people cleared Ashina. How could it update already?"
But it was real.
---
A New World Appears
When Adventurers opened the map—
They saw it.
A brand-new region.
Unlike Ashina's single castle…
This one had dozens of cities.
Massive.
Endless.
Names floated across the map:
Daxing → Grandspire
Luoyang → Rivergate
Yangzhou → Sunshore
Qiantang → Tidefall
Donghai → Eastsea
Penglai → Skyreach Isle
The atmosphere alone felt overwhelming.
Elegant. Vast. Mysterious.

The Sui & Tang Chapter
"This chapter is called Sui and Tang Dynasties…"
Lucas Reed (formerly Baihe Jushi) said quietly,
"This is far bigger than Ashina… We're looking at something on a completely different scale."
Trevor Lin (formerly Three Bamboo) added,
"It's only a prologue for now. This might take a long time to fully release."
Mia Snow (formerly Mao Mengmeng) smiled.
"The Lord actually delivered—faster than we imagined."
---
Entry Requirements
However, there was a catch:
To enter, Adventurers needed:
Tier 2 cultivation
50% progress in Ashina
This locked out most players.
"I'm not convinced!" one Adventurer complained.
Lucas shook his head.
"This means higher rewards, higher difficulty. It's a good thing."
---
Bianca Steps Forward
Bianca (formerly Bihua) stepped forward confidently.
"I'll go first. I'll check it out for everyone."
Cheers erupted.
Ryan blended into the crowd, watching silently.
Why were they this excited…?
For something completely unknown?
He didn't understand.
---
The Prologue Begins
The crystal activated.
Darkness.
Silence.
Then—
A deep voice echoed:
> "In the first year of the Sui Dynasty, remnants of the Chen royal family rebelled. Grand Marshal Adrian Yang (formerly Yang Su) was ordered to suppress them…"
Ryan's eyes narrowed.
Narration?
Cinematic storytelling?
Interesting.

The Battlefield
Wind howled.
Dark clouds pressed down like a collapsing sky.
Then—
The camera revealed two sides.
The Sui Army
Just over a hundred cavalry.
Their leader:
Adrian Yang
White-haired
Calm, composed
Radiating authority
The Rebel Army
A tidal wave.
Thousands of armored cavalry.
At least 8,000 to 10,000 troops.
Like a crimson ocean.
---
An Impossible Battle
"This isn't even a fight…"
"They'll be crushed instantly!"
The rebel army charged.
War drums thundered.
The ground shook.
Steel and spears surged forward like a storm.
---
The Youth Appears
Adrian Yang spoke calmly:
"Daniel… show me what you've learned."
A young man stepped forward.
Name: Daniel (formerly Tuo'er)
Thin
Cloaked in black
Holding a golden ancient sword
He walked alone toward the army.
---
One Sword
The sky erupted.
Lightning struck.
Energy gathered into the sword.
The world trembled.
Then—
He swung.
A single slash.
Golden flames exploded.
A massive arc of sword energy tore through the battlefield.
Everything in its path—
Men, horses, armor—
Obliterated.
The earth split open.
A canyon formed.
The army collapsed.
Silence.
---
Aftermath
Thousands… gone.
The sky itself was split open.
Even the clouds were cut apart.
One strike.
One boy.
Victory.
---
The Reveal
The wind lifted his hood.
A boy—no older than sixteen.
One eye red like fire
One eye blue like ice
The screen went black.
---
Silence
The entire hall froze.
No one spoke.
Iris whispered,
"One sword… wiped out an army?"
Kimba added,
"That weapon… it's beyond imagination."
Nina said quietly,
"That boy… at least Tier 4. Maybe higher."
Her eyes lit up.
"That sword… could threaten even a Dragon King."
---
Realization
"This world… is terrifying."
"A kid like that exists?"
"Now I understand… why the Sakura Dragon couldn't dominate here."
---
Ryan's Shock
For the first time—
Ryan Skyfall was truly shaken.
This wasn't just a Secret Realm.
This was something else entirely.
A masterpiece.
