Mu Ren, who had been silent until now, spoke up. "Master, what about the War God?"
"Ah, Zhan Tian." Hei Xuan's eyes gleamed. "Pure battle lust incarnate. Lives for conflict but oddly... simple. No schemes, just endless fighting."
Yun Lintian raised an eyebrow. "And the celestial bodies?"
"The Sun God, Yang Chen—arrogant but dependable. The Moon God, Yin Yue—mysterious and unpredictable. The Star God, Xing Wu—quiet but sees patterns no one else can."
Hei Xuan leaned back. "Thirteen Primordial Gods in total, each representing fundamental cosmic forces." His gaze sharpened. "But beware—Nian Shi has likely corrupted several already."
Yun Lintian absorbed this silently. Thirteen godly powers to collect. Thirteen potential battles ahead.
And time was running out.
"It seems you are close to the God of Balance," Yun Lintian spoke, looking at Hei Xuan.
