Title Note: The Hongmen Banquet was a historical event that took place in 206 BC at the Hong Gate of China. This term is used figuratively to refer to a trap or a situation ostensibly joyous but in fact treacherous.
Nie Yuan stood on the waves of the sea, looking upwards to the Divine Gate located three thousand meters away.
At this moment, he was trembling in fear. None of his pride in the Underground Kingdom of the Giant Rat Clan could be found. The instinct of rodents towards danger gave him the ability to clearly sense a pair of eyes from the sky fixating on his being.
He knew this taste of danger, the gut feeling of sheer terror. Being the most sensitive of the Royal Giant Rats, it had even evolved into their exclusive Natural Trait. Whenever or wherever a life-threatening situation were to occur, they were able to detect them beforehand and thus avoid them in time.
