August 31st evening, around seven o'clock.
Hu City.
Some people who just finished dinner are walking on the road digesting their food.
The streets are bustling with traffic, stores are brightly lit, and the neon lights on skyscrapers are continuously flashing, creating a lively atmosphere.
Just like ordinary days.
The metropolis exudes its unique allure; people living here enjoy the conveniences of the city, attracting people from all over the world,
"Daddy, daddy, I want to eat that candied hawthorn."
On a small street, a five or six-year-old girl with braids.
Staring at the uncle selling candied hawthorn nearby, she coquettishly pleads with her parents.
Young parents exchanged a glance, the corners of their mouths brimming with smiles.
The father holds the little girl, his tone doting: "Alright, alright, daddy will buy it for you now."
"You just spoil her." The mother spoke with slight discontent, but she still followed and picked the sweetest string for their daughter.
The little girl grabbed the candied hawthorn, opened it, and sent it into her mouth, her eyes filled with happiness.
Scenes like this are abundant on the street.
But soon.
As the little girl was looking up at the stars and moon, she suddenly spoke: "Mommy, look, there are two moons in the sky."
"What nonsense, how could there be two moons in the sky?"
The mother heard this and was about to correct her.
But when she raised her head as well.
Her expression froze.
"What's wrong? Could there really be two moons?"
The father laughed, thinking mother and daughter were teasing him, but he also looked at the night sky.
This moment, his smile instantly disappeared, his expression filled with disbelief.
Just in tonight's sky.
Two bright moons hang high.
Extremely close, and at this moment, though it wasn't supposed to be a full moon, they appeared like jade plates, continuously casting bright moonlight on the earth; upon closer inspection, one could see traces of eerie red in the moonlight.
Amazing, the moons really are two.
Not just this family of three.
Everyone on the street saw it.
The two moons were spotless white, and in addition, the entire sky was filled with stars, each gleaming brilliantly.
These stars gathered, forming an extremely long galactic river.
They covered the sky, remarkably conspicuous, flickering intermittently.
Normally, in a big city's night sky, such sights are not visible.
But those stars were too bright.
Compared to before, there was a vast difference.
This mysterious scene appeared in every corner of the world.
Even in foreign countries with different time zones, they instantly plunged into night, displaying the same scenario.
Rumbling.
In the next instant.
A blood-red lightning appeared, spanning the entire sky, spreading countless miles.
The sound was deafening, accompanied by an inexplicable aura, presenting itself before everyone.
In this moment, due to the numerous major events occurring during this period, the already slightly unsettled citizens felt entirely chaotic at heart, especially for those domestic, celestial anomalies meant either great fortune or disaster.
Everyone could sense that the world seemed to be on the verge of tremendous change.
But, unlike ordinary people's reactions.
Wu Zhou Group, Longevity Gene, Celestial God Technology and the like.
These great powers already holding secrets, upon witnessing the scene, became excited one by one.
Because they realized, their new era had finally arrived, and immediately, the high-levels of various factions issued orders to implement plans.
And people like Zhou Yunqiong, already possessing mysterious bloodlines, directly entered seclusion.
They could clearly feel, within there was a unique force.
Just like a volcano, about to erupt.
And this.
Was their source of mythic power, transcending humanity.
Meanwhile, as time continued to advance.
Besides humans.
Deep in the mountains, a golden eagle flew out, its body rapidly growing, wings spanning a thousand meters, its entire body flowing with golden light.
In the streams, an ancient python living for unknown years leapt out, enormous head sprouting a pair of dragon horns, emitting beams of light, seemingly about to undergo Jiao Transformation.
On the earth, an ancient tree grew wildly, its canopy covering the sky, each leaf as radiant as stars.
Moreover, weeds, vines, and the like, at this moment, underwent mutations.
All beings began to evolve and awaken.
In some cities.
Roads cracked, the earth stretched, distances that were hundreds of meters apart now separated by kilometers.
Even in some towns, mountains rose abruptly, reaching thousands of meters high, endlessly stretching, forming ranges, exuding a wild aura.
Dragon Tiger Mountain, Jiuhua Mountain, Tai Mountain, Qinling Mountain Range, this night were all illuminated by glimmering divine lights.
As if in the next moment they would transform into Immortal Mountains, becoming legendary mythical places.
Everything changed.
Everyone was involved.
Tonight.
Destined to be a sleepless night.
And while the outside world is undergoing monumental changes.
In the villa garden on the outskirts of Hu City, Lu Yuan still sits in meditation.
Above him are two hanging bright moons.
"Has it started?"
Seeing this, his expression slightly moves, even after witnessing it once, he cannot completely treat it with a normal heart upon experiencing it again.
Of course, Lu Yuan knows this is just the beginning, the real changes will come after midnight.
Which means when September 1st officially arrives.
So.
He makes no movement, just quietly watches that Ancient Bodhi Tree before him.
Legend has it that Buddha Lord Sakyamuni attained enlightenment under this tree, there is nothing in this world more mystical than it.
Just like that, time continued to pass.
Nine o'clock....
Ten o'clock....
Eleven o'clock....
Twelve o'clock sharp!
Buzz buzz buzz!
At this moment, the sky and earth, the inexplicable aura thickened even more.
Heaven and earth seemed to tremble, within each person's heart, something indecipherable seemed to arise.
And in the villa garden.
That Ancient Bodhi Tree finally began to transform.
From the top of its emerald leaves, threads of brilliance emanated.
Careful observation reveals one by one patterns appearing on the leaves, each pattern seemingly containing a monk in contemplative pose, as if encompassing infinite creation, capable of comprehending the truths of heaven and earth.
The trunk flows with strands of golden lines, reaching the pinnacle of mysteriousness.
Behind the crown, rings of light emerge like great suns, dazzling and bright, illuminating the area.
At this moment, the Ancient Bodhi Tree seems to have attained enlightenment, transforming into a Buddha, traveling towards the wisdom paradise.
The sight stunned Lu Yuan.
Living anew.
But still, it's his first time witnessing the transformed Ancient Bodhi Tree, as if standing beneath it allows one to solve many previously incomprehensible questions.
Not only this, objects surrounding it, Divine Artifacts, emit different beams, floating mid-air, extremely mystical.
"Now, it's my turn!"
Lu Yuan stands, stepping forward, reaching out with his right hand, placing it upon the Ancient Bodhi Tree.
My supreme path began this day.
