After Han Zhan patted his chest and promised he would bring Hui Liyi back to life through writing, only then did Dragon Horse calm down.
"The gears of history turn once more; the destined battle is imminent."
Resuming his normal state, Dragon Horse spoke a bewildering sentence.
His voice, layered fourfold, buzzed in the listeners' minds, making it hard to ignore.
"Are you all prepared?"
Dragon Horse's head remained bowed, his enormous dragon eyes reflecting everyone's figures.
But everyone had the sa feeling.
Dragon Horse was not looking at them, but at Han Zhan and Shang Siteng.
Indeed, Dragon Horse's next words confird their thoughts.
"The Fu Xi Zither and Nuwa Stone, in this destined battle ahead, hold their roles."
"What exactly is the destined battle?"
Han Zhan spoke, asking the question that puzzled everyone.
He had heard about the idea of destined people while on the Fu Xi Continent; now, hearing of the destined battle, he couldn't help but inquire.
"Co to my back, all answers lie here."
"I chose to resist pollution through slumber to preserve the truth of history, awaiting future generations to unearth it anew."
With words said to such an extent, did Han Zhan have any other choice?
If Dragon Horse intended to act against them, given their current displayed strength, they likely wouldn't even struggle.
So they maneuvered their floating devices, slowly ascending towards Dragon Horse's back.
How tall was the North Sea Profound Turtle, its shell capable of piercing the skies?
Dragon Horse, renowned alike, naturally would not be any shorter.
Halfway through their ascent, they already could not make out the tumultuous waters of the North Sea below, only ambiguous blackness afloat.
Nearer the heavens.
Clouds floated around them, the biting cold making them shiver, such that if anyone feared heights, a glance downward would surely weaken their knees in fright.
Fortunately, the floating devices from the Nuwa Continent held firm, staying reliable even at such heights.
Further upward, they broke through the cloud layer.
Sunlight shone upon them anew, the biting chill receding, replaced by warmth.
Dragon Horse's back, arrived.
The expansive back was larger than an entire continent albeit more barren than the Nuwa and Fu Xi Continents, with only arid earth in sight.
Everyone disembarked from their floating devices, sharing expressions of astonishnt at the sight.
"Could it be dirt accumulated from not bathing for ages?"
Huo Lie exclaid, raising his voice.
The crowd: "???"
While everyone was in shock, his point of astonishnt seed different from others.
The impact that initially felt awe-inspiring now carried a strange aroma.
"Silence." Han Zhan spoke without turning his head.
He felt if Huo Lie's unbridled remarks were not curtailed, Dragon Horse might eject them from his back in outrage.
Returning to the subject.
Han Zhan and the others surveyed the surroundings and soon spotted sothing unusual.
It was a colossal black obelisk.
Standing there like a skyward pillar, impossible to overlook.
As Han Zhan approached, the obelisk's features beca clear.
Entirely pitch-black, of unknown material, its base square-shaped, tapering upwards.
Looking up, the obelisk's top was over a hundred ters from the ground.
Engraved densely with incomprehensible symbols upon its towering form.
When Huo Lie tried approaching the obelisk, he suddenly encountered an invisible resistance, halting his progress.
Shui Rou, Feng Ya, and Tu Housheng faced the sa.
Shang Siteng and Han Zhan exchanged a glance. When they approached, there was no resistance, passing effortlessly.
"The content on the black obelisk, only we can view?"
"How does it distinguish us? What differentiates us from them?"
Again questions arose in Han Zhan's mind as he approached the black obelisk, placing his hand upon it as he had on the Fu Xi Continent before.
A short while passed, yet nothing happened.
"Ahem." Han Zhan cleared his throat, "Siteng, place your hand here too."
Following his instruction, Shang Siteng extended her hand.
With both hands pressed against the black obelisk, the forrly dull symbols suddenly began to light up one by one!
As if so energy had been awakened.
The symbols at the base lit first, ascending layer after layer.
When the light reached the obelisk's top, a shadowy female figure abruptly appeared before them.
"Descendants who have mastered the Spirit Contract Technique, you've arrived."
The attractive female voice erged, a stunning revelation from the outset.
What did she just say?!
She ntioned the Spirit Contract Technique!
Han Zhan's heart skipped a beat, almost wondering if he misheard.
Wasn't the Spirit Contract Technique sothing only the Great Xia people continued practicing on Blue Star?
Why could the woman in the hazy light ntion it so directly?
"Because I created the Spirit Contract Technique and imparted it to you, humanity."
As if reading Han Zhan's thoughts, the woman in the light answered.
"You may call , Nuwa."
Indeed, Nuwa!
Previously on the Fu Xi Continent, the image seen was Fu Xi. Now on Nuwa Continent, naturally, we encounter Nuwa.
This is quite logical.
"Lady Nvwa, you said the Spirit Contract Technique was taught to humanity by you, but this differs from my understanding."
Facing Nuwa, Han Zhan chose frankness.
Since the other could read hearts, subtlety was redundant.
Upon first arriving on the Blue Star World, Han Zhan possessed historical knowledge of the Spirit Contract Technique.
Within that history, the Spirit Contract Technique was initiated by powerful ancient cultivators of humanity.
How did it beco Nuwa's creation here?
"Do you know why the Spirit Contract Technique differentiates between Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits?"
Nuwa didn't imdiately respond to Han Zhan's question, posing a seemingly irrelevant query instead.
Why must the Spirit Contract Technique divide into male and female, Spirit Contract Masters and Contracted Spirits?
"I don't know." Han Zhan answered truthfully.
"Because when the technique was first conceived, it was not intended for your cultivation."
Nuwa paused before continuing.
"It was ant for Fu Xi's and my cultivation."
Nuwa and Fu Xi's cultivation?!
Han Zhan felt a click of realization but couldn't grasp it right away.
The Spirit Contract Technique for Nuwa and Fu Xi's cultivation.
Not for our human cultivation.
We, humanity.
Nuwa and Fu Xi are not human!
Realizing this, Han Zhan raised his head, looking at Nuwa.
The woman in the light even nodded in concurrence.
"As you imagined, Fu Xi and I are not human."
"Being non-human, there also exists no gender."
"Gender unified, Yin and Yang naturally harmonized, cultivation of the Spirit Contract Technique unhindered."
"However, humanity is different."
