In the wake of their return, Xiaotian and his children convened a council of elders, comprised of the wisest and most trusted leaders from across the empire. Together, they sought to assess the current state of affairs and formulate a plan to confront the looming threat that threatened to engulf them all.
As the council gathered, tensions ran high, each member keenly aware of the gravity of the situation. They spoke of dark omens and foreboding prophecies, of ancient evils stirring in the depths of the earth, and of the need for unity and strength in the face of adversity.
Yet amidst the uncertainty, there was also a glimmer of hope—a belief that with courage and determination, they could overcome even the greatest of challenges. And so, as they deliberated late into the night, they vowed to stand together, united in their purpose and resolved to protect the empire at all costs.
For they knew that the road ahead would be fraught with peril, and that the fate of the realm hung in the balance. But with the guidance of the Four Supremes and the wisdom of the council of elders, they believed that they could weather the storm and emerge victorious, ready to face whatever trials lay ahead.
