    THE BETRAYAL HIDDEN IN HIS MEMORIESFor several minutes, Xuan Tian remained motionless inside the abandoned railway chamber.The final words of the memory continued echoing in his mind.Before you seek the seventh seal, discover who killed you.Who had killed him?He remembered the final battle against the black star. He remembered the destruction of countless worlds and the collapse of the Celestial Palace.But the moments immediately before his death remained unclear.There had been a betrayal.He was certain of it now.The question was whether the betrayal had come from an enemy who had infiltrated his kingdom or someone who had enjoyed his complete trust.He looked down at the black ring."Show me the memory again."The ring remained silent.He tried circulating spiritual energy into it.Nothing happened.A message eventually appeared.MEMORY ACCESS RESTRICTED.REQUIREMENT: SECOND SEAL ACTIVATION.Xuan Tian frowned.The second seal was still only partially opened.Whatever information th

    THE FIRST ENEMY FROM BEYOND THE STARSThe first sign appeared at 3:17 a.m,Xuan Tian was meditating beside his bedroom window when the black ring suddenly burned against his palm.His eyes opened,a thin golden line emerged from the ring and stretched toward the ceiling. Within seconds, the line divided into seven branches, forming a miniature version of the ancient seal formation he had seen beneath Blackridge Mountain.Then the second symbol began to blink black light.Xuan Tian immediately stopped circulating spiritual energy.Something was interfering with the ring,He raised his hand and examined the projection.WARNING: FOREIGN CONSCIOUSNESS DETECTED.His expression changed,a foreign consciousness?He had encountered countless spiritual techniques during his former life. He knew the difference between a natural energy disturbance and an intelligent force attempting to establish contact.This was neither an ordinary message nor a simple warning.Something was reaching through the seal.

    THE PROMISE THAT CHANGED THE UNIVERSEXuan Tian did not return to class after leaving the underground chamber.He escorted Elias out, secured the service door, and insisted that the teacher report the structural danger to the school administration.He did not explain the creature in detail.Elias had witnessed enough to know that ordinary explanations were no longer sufficient.Before they separated, the teacher stopped him near the main entrance."You saved my life."Xuan Tian shook his head."I prevented a dangerous situation from becoming worse.""That is a modest way to describe what happened."Elias hesitated."Will you tell me the truth about yourself?"Xuan Tian looked toward the city skyline."Not yet."The teacher nodded slowly."Then I will wait."For the first time since his arrival on Earth, Xuan Tian had found someone outside his family who might become a useful ally.But he could not afford to trust too quickly.The black ring had revealed that the seals were connected, and the

    THE TEACHER WHO RECOGNISED THE IMPOSSIBLEWestbridge High School was unusually quiet on Monday morning.The head teacher had announced a temporary investigation following reports of fights and intimidation. Victor Hayes had been absent for two days, and rumours were spreading that his father had hired lawyers to force Cooper out of the school.Xuan Tian ignored the gossip.He had more important matters to investigate.During the first lesson, he observed the teacher who had watched him in the cafeteria.The man introduced himself as Professor Elias Ward, a visiting physics instructor who had joined the school several months earlier.He was in his fifties, with silver hair and thin spectacles.His manner was calm, but Xuan Tian noticed that his eyes frequently moved toward the windows and the corridor leading to the school's old science wing.At the end of the lesson, Elias approached him."Cooper William, may I speak with you?"Xuan Tian closed his notebook."Of course."The teacher stud

    THE NIGHT THE PREDATORS LEARNED FEARDaniel William lay in a hospital bed with his right arm in a sling and a bandage wrapped around his head.Margaret sat beside him, holding his hand. Lily was asleep in a chair near the window, exhausted from crying.When Xuan Tian entered, his mother rose immediately."Cooper."He approached the bed."Father."Daniel opened his eyes."I'm sorry, son."Xuan Tian frowned."For what?""I should have protected this family better.""You are injured because you tried to protect us."Daniel looked away."The men said Marcus wanted the house. They told me we had until tomorrow to leave. When I refused, they pushed me."Xuan Tian's hands tightened."Did you recognise them?"Daniel nodded."One of them was the scarred man who came here before. The others were different."Margaret wiped her eyes."We reported the incident, but they said there were no witnesses outside the house. The police told us they would investigate."Xuan Tian looked at his father."Did anyone re

    THE FIRST AWAKENING OF THE SUPREME POWERThe mountain outside Westbridge City was known locally as Blackridge.Most people visited its lower slopes for hiking, but the northern section had been closed after several unexplained accidents.According to the city's official records, the area was unstable because of underground rock formations.Xuan Tian knew better.The black ring had guided him toward the northern ridge three nights in a row.Each time he approached, the spiritual energy in the area grew stronger.He waited until Saturday morning before making his move.He told his family he was visiting the library, packed a small bag, and travelled by bus to the edge of the city.From there, he walked.The climb was difficult because his body was still recovering. He had only reached the first stage of Qi Gathering, and his spiritual reserves remained limited.Nevertheless, he continued until he reached a narrow opening between two enormous rocks.The ring warmed in his pocket.A faint gol
