Luo God Clan, Small Western Kingdom, Western Sky Continent.
A lofty and rugged city stood tall within the core region of the Luo God Clan. It exuded ancient vibes and seemed to have its history written all over it, as the city had clearly been through many vicissitudes.
The city was split into two by a turbulent river. The river cut through the middle of the city, and as it reached the border, it seemed to take a sharp turn, creating a circle surrounding the city. The great river had a twisted complexity. It resembled the constellations, and occasionally, it shined more brilliantly than the starry skies. The great river roared as it nourished the city.
The bottom of the river was unseen, and no one was ever able to tell its depth. An Earthly Sovereign once dove into it, but after exploring for almost half a month, he was still unable to reach the bottom. In fact, he had exhausted all of his spiritual energy to the point where he almost sacrificed himself, becoming a nutrient to the great river.
It was truly unfathomable.
The mysterious great river was sacred to the Luo God Clan. Countless clan members would visit to pay their respects and worship the river on specific dates simply because the great river was named the Luo River.
The city was surrounded by the Luo River, hence the name Luo God City. It was the most essential and important city of the Luo God Clan. At the same time, to all the clan members, it was an inviolable sacred place.
On this very day, the Luo God City was the gathering point for the Luo God Clan. Who knew how many clan members had come from far away lands to gather around the city, each one with eyes full of anticipation. They gathered because on this day, their clan leader, Luo Tianshen, would hold a Luo God Ritual for the current queen!
The Luo God Clan was once prosperous, but it had gradually declined over the years. A few years back there were turbulent times filled with internal conflicts and foreign invasions. Many people from the clan were slaughtered, and some were even enslaved. Under these terrible circumstances, the people were completely in despair. However, before long, things took a favorable turn.
At the time, the ever-renowned princess returned to the clan. Within a few years, she had used all sorts of techniques and her charming personality to slowly stabilize the chaotic Luo God Clan.
Since then, she led the Luo God Clan army and top powers to the battlefront of numerous tough wars against the aggressive Blood God Clan. In the end, they had prevailed. After defeating the enemy, the Luo God Clan members were able to enjoy peaceful times once again.
To protect her people, the girl had traveled to all four corners of the Luo God Clan borders, building her reputation as she went. Her charm was not only infectious towards the initially despairing clan members, it also attracted support from all the different aristocracies of the Luo God Clan, as more and more top powers gathered behind her.
Hence, in all those years, the crumbling Luo God Clan had revealed tenacious determination against the prowling enemies, casting away any signs of deterioration. Before they knew it, the whole of the Small Western Kingdom had learned for a fact that within the Luo God Clan, there was someone who would be the future queen and inherit the great tradition.
Meanwhile, among the Luo God Clan, the movement of supporting her as the future queen had surpassed those supporting her grandfather, Luo Tianshen. And now, whether it was the people or the aristocracies of the Luo God Clan, the call for her as the future queen was getting mightier.
That was why the Luo God Ritual this time around would be the most important ceremony yet! If all went well, then she would be officially crowned as the queen of the Luo God Clan. Any objections from the aristocracies would then be completely eliminated.
With all the clan members united by one purpose, even if the Luo God Clan could not return to its full glory days, they would still be as strong as an iron plate. Then, be it the Blood God Clan or the two other major God Clans, whoever wanted to take advantage of the Luo God Clan had better be prepared to get their teeth smashed.
Consequently, the Luo God Ritual this time was unusually important. It was the reason why countless clan members traveled all the way to the city to witness the crowning of the queen.
It would be the deciding factor of the Luo God Clan's fate.
...
Luo God City.
In the middle of the city, there was a majestic palace, respectable and untouchable. It was the Luo God Palace, where the royalty resided. At that moment, high up in the palace, a slender figure was standing tall. She was dressed in a moonlight-white gown with violet silk patterns on her sleeves that resembled a flying Cloud Phoenix exuding a highly exalted air.
She had an exceptionally perfect figure. Above her long slender legs was a perfect tiny waist followed by an alluring curve and a graceful, fair, swan-like neck. However, all this goodness paled in comparison to her face...
