The stars shifted and rotated, and two stars from the Celestial Palace fell into the mortal world, unbeknownst to mortals.
At the junction of the Netherworld and the Ten Continents and Three Islands.
Between the Boundless Sea and the River of the Underworld, separated by a single line.
A figure stood at the meeting point, gazing at the sky.
In the aged eyes of Fan You, there was no ripple, until a wisp of black air drilled out from behind him, transforming into a broken 'human' figure.
That 'human' figure seemed to have just suffered brutal torture, with half of his body devoured by flames and the other half shrouded in ice, his flesh and bones cracked inch by inch.
Fan You turned sideways, looked at the newcomer, raised his hand, and wrote an edict in underworld script, embedding it into the other's body.
Only then did the power of torture on the 'human' figure recede, his injuries gradually healing, restoring his original appearance.
