Chương 1: The Heavenly Prophecy

Currently everyone including the Emperor was gathered near the palace where there was a stone tablet. No one thought too much about this Stone Tablet which was near the palace before; they even tried to pull it out one day however, it wouldn't budge. Over the years, people just forgot about this stone tablet until one day it started giving off a blinding light.

It has already been a few hours since it started giving out the light. It finally showed signs of stopping. The Emperor, Qin Wuhui was in front of it. When the light receded, there was no stone tablet. Only a piece of paper floating in the air in front of Qin Wuhui.

"An Age of Darkness descends. Phenomena in the sky; When the comet falls, Six fated are born, shocking the world, bringing peace yet also bloodshed.

Sealed through countless generations; Rebirth through Samsara.

Twelve Descents, Ancestral resonance;

All awaken; Strange Race in isolated land;

Storm's chaos abundant; Dragon wielding sword to cleave the nine firmaments.

Saints despair, Gods wreak havoc and Divine beings rampage. The ground dyed in red, the Three Realms will tremble." Qin Wuhui read aloud with a serious expression. Right after he finished, the paper slowly disintegrated.

"..."

"Your Majesty, when will this day come?" A senior official asked.

"I do not know... We can only hope for the worst case scenario regarding the last few phrases 'Saints despair, Gods wreak havoc and Divine beings rampage. The ground dyed in red, the Three Realms will tremble.' It's an ominous warning!" Qin Wuhui spoke sternly with a grave expression on his face.

"Someone! Quickly record the words I have said just now!"

"Everyone disperse! Spread the news about the Heavenly Prophecy as the people mentioned within it can appear in any of the seven great races!"

...

Later that night, Qin Wuhui went to the Empress' chambers. As soon as he stepped in, he was greeted by the sight of a beautiful pregnant woman.

The Empress was sitting on her bed, stroking her belly with a gentle look plastered on her face. When she heard the door opening and footsteps coming in, she looked up to see Qin Wuhui's worried face.

Qin Wuhui walked over and sat down beside her.

"What's wrong, your majesty?" The Empress asked.

"The Heavenly Prophecy has descended. Giving hope but also ominous warnings." Qin Wuhui said after a while, sighing deeply.

"If it happens then it happens, at worst we can only try our best. Besides I am expecting our child in a few days, it should cheer up your majesty's face about the joyous news." The Empress replied after thinking for a while only to give up.

"You're right! The birth of our child is a joyous occasion! I shouldn't worry about the future currently and focus on the present! Thank you, my Empress!" Qin Wuhui kissed her cheek before leaving.

The Empress watched his back fade away into the distance as her eyes flashed faintly with sorrow before quickly disappearing. She went to the desk near the bedside, pulled out a letter and started writing on it.

...

Several Days passed peacefully ever since news about the Heavenly Prophecy was received by the Emperor of the Divine Star Kingdom.

Everyone in the Divine Star Kingdom that originally panicked calmed down, thinking that it will happen in the far future. They further reinforced that thought so as to not think too much of the Heavenly Prophecy.

Months passed and the day came where the Empress was giving birth. It was already late at night and sounds of crying came from within the palace.

Qin Wuhui was looking at the bright sky filled with stars, deep in thought.

Suddenly, the bright sky dimmed, the stars disappeared. The sky which was originally bright became dark. The entire world could faintly see golden lines interweaving through the sky, resembling a Dragon and a Phoenix. They roared and screeched at the same time and when they did, a comet was seen falling between them.

Qin Wuhui widened his eyes. His child was just born and the prophecy appeared! His child must be one of the six mentioned in the prophecy. He quickly turned around and ran inside to the inner palace, shouting: "Someone! Announce there will be a great banquet in celebration of the Empress giving birth today!

There was a similar event going on in the Guan household, one of the nine divine families in the Divine Star Empire.

However, no one noticed at that moment, a small change happened in the sky. In front of the golden dragon and phoenix, a gate appeared. The golden dragon and phoenix which were about to disappear instantly had a shocked expression seeing it just as they disappeared. At the same moment, the gate disappeared as fast as it appeared. No one saw it nor heard any sound of it.

When that gate appeared, a child was born in another of the divine families. However, no one thought of him as one of the six childs for he appeared after the phenomena.
