"Where is this..." A faint, deep voice slowly rose, as one of the skeletons began to vibrate.
"Is that Noah... Tianfan?" Joy faintly seeped through the heavy voice, clearly recognizing that the one who had awakened him was an old comrade.
"Ding Ao, have you awakened? The moment we agreed upon in the ancient era has finally arrived. We shall merge as one, together we shall... take that final step..."
"Of course... I remember... It's for this... purpose that I willingly entered slumber... allowed those insignificant, fragile gods... to dissect me..." Ding Ao's voice grew clearer, soon followed by a boisterous laugh. The facial expressions of the Immortal Monarchs and other Ancient Gods changed as they sensed that things were not going as they had expected.
