While Lim Kris and Chinye enjoyed a leisurely stroll through the vibrant garden filled with immortal energy, Chen Franz stood silently near the balcony of the mansion. He seemed lost in thought, reminiscing about the distant past 5.3 million years ago, the moment he was transported to this strange and formidable world.
Back then, the only powerful clans in existence were the Sword Clan and the Lightning Clan. These two dominated the Xiayan Continent, their members known for their unparalleled might and influence across the five great cities: Poyro, Fengxia, Zaylan, Morai, and Astraya. They upheld balance in the realm, though tension between the two clans was ever present.
As Chen Franz recalled his first moments in this new world, a faint smile graced his lips. At 17, his youthful body felt fragile in comparison to the overwhelming presence of the new world's inhabitants. He had been transported to a desolate place called the Dead Mountain. Though the land reeked of death and despair, Franz could sense it was a vital turning point in his life.
Determined to survive, he climbed down the treacherous cliffs and headed toward the nearest settlement, Poyro City, one of the five great cities of the Xiayan Continent. The bustling streets of Poyro were both a marvel and a nightmare. Here, strength dictated social standing. Warriors on flying swords zipped through the skies, while cultivators wielding elemental powers treated the common folk as mere insects. Franz couldn't comprehend their powers at first and felt like an ant in a land of giants.
Wandering the streets, he witnessed cultivators bullying mortals for sport. Franz's conscience couldn't allow such cruelty, and he attempted to intervene, not knowing how powerless he truly was. The cultivators laughed and mercilessly beat him with spiritual whips, driving him to the brink of death. Yet, in his desperation, he discovered something within himself an innate power tied to his imagination.
Bleeding and broken, he thought of healing, wishing with all his heart for relief. Miraculously, his wounds closed, and his body was restored. His imagination had become his greatest weapon. Determined not to suffer again, Franz envisioned himself striking back. A single punch from his rejuvenated body caused a shockwave so powerful that the sky above Poyro cracked, and the cultivators fled in terror.
From that moment on, Franz's journey to greatness began.
Realizing his potential, Franz sought to learn more about the world and its systems of power. During his travels, he encountered a wandering Sword Clan member named Lei Fen. Lei Fen recognized Franz's unique energy and invited him to train under the Sword Clan's guidance in Fengxia City.
At the Sword Clan, Franz quickly rose through the ranks due to his unique ability to turn imagination into reality. Unlike others who spent decades cultivating their skills, Franz mastered sword techniques in mere months. His peers admired and feared him, and the elders regarded him as the clan's rising star.
However, his journey did not stop with the Sword Clan. During his missions across the continent, Franz crossed paths with the Lightning Clan in Zaylan City. Intrigued by their electrifying techniques, he challenged their leader, a formidable warrior named Kyron. The duel was legendary; Franz emerged victorious, earning both the clan's respect and their deepest secrets.
Unwilling to divide his loyalties, Franz sought to unify the clans instead. He envisioned a Xiayan Continent where the Sword and Lightning Clans worked together, creating a legacy of unity rather than rivalry.
As Franz's influence grew, so did his power. In time, he was no longer just a prodigy of the Sword Clan or an honored member of the Lightning Clan. He became a symbol of strength and hope for the entire continent. The five great cities Poyro, Fengxia, Zaylan, Morai, and Astraya all recognized his leadership.
After uniting the clans, Franz was crowned Emperor of the Xiayan Continent, ruling for 600 years with wisdom and power. Under his reign, the continent flourished, and wars ceased. However, his heart yearned for more. Franz's curiosity about higher realms and his desire to challenge even greater powers drove him to ascend to the Upper Realm.
Standing on the summit of the Dead Mountain, Franz bid farewell to the lower realm, leaving behind a legacy unmatched in history. Without looking back, he stepped through the Celestial Gate and disappeared into the unknown, leaving the continent to its fate.
And with that, Chen Franz's chapter in the Xiayan Continent ended, but his journey to uncover the mysteries of the Upper Realm had just begun. Chen franz don't really know what happen in the Xaiyan Continent after he leave.
