"Vast Ages" allows him to peruse the countless years of the ancient gods’ grand adventures and the many secrets they experienced... With overwhelming experience, he stays one step ahead at every turn.

From then on, all the great noble families vie to win him over, guild masters become obsessed with him, and peerless beauties compete for his affection. The young martial artist, with a proud and unrivaled bearing, steps onto the grand stage of the Divine Martial Continent, rising step by step to become the number one Divine Martial under the starry sky.

Chapter 1: The Youth William Harris

The Divine Martial Continent stretches for billions of miles, with towering peaks and picturesque rivers.

Since the primordial era, countless ancient gods have been born and perished on this wondrous land.

After the ancient gods faded away, billions of beings led by the four great races—humans, beasts, ghosts, and spirits—gradually flourished and multiplied on this continent, forming a situation where the four races coexist on the Divine Martial Continent.

Among the four races, saint-level powerhouses replaced the vanished ancient deities, erecting a magnificent stardust barrier in the starry sky above the Divine Martial Continent.

Under the witness of the stardust barrier, like a celestial canopy, the saints divided the land, partitioning the Divine Martial Continent into five regions: the Eastern Human Zixuan Dynasty, the Southern Beast Alliance, the Western Nether Dynasty, and the Northern Spirit Pact—each representing one of the four races.

Additionally, the Central Region serves as the battleground for the four races.

After millions of years of conflict on the Divine Martial Continent, the four races have never been able to determine a victor, thus establishing the "Millennial War and Peace Treaty".

Ten thousand years have passed in the Zixuan Dynasty, and the "Millennial War and Peace Treaty" is about to expire. A great upheaval that will sweep across the Divine Martial Continent is quietly brewing amid the chaos.

Beneath the four races, the various human vassal states and beast tribes vie for supremacy.

Mountains and rivers are stained with blood, smoke and dust billow, and the killing never ceases.

……

Canglan Kingdom is one of the eight hundred vassal states of the Human Zixuan Dynasty. Located on the eastern coast of the Eastern Region, with blue seas and skies stretching as far as the eye can see, it is named Canglan for its azure beauty.

Within Donglai County of Canglan Kingdom lies the Luyang Prefecture, governing an area of three hundred li in radius.

At dawn, as the sky just begins to brighten and a faint glimmer of morning light appears, Luyang City is silent and still.

At Nancheng Martial Academy, one of the top ten junior martial academies in Luyang Prefecture, the martial students have already arrived early, engaging in their morning self-study.

For young martial students aspiring to reach the pinnacle of martial arts, arriving at the academy before dawn for morning self-study is a perfectly ordinary routine.

In the third year, the classroom of a graduating class is silent.

More than twenty young martial students are each focused intently on their own books.

Among them, a boy in plain clothes sits by the window, bathed in the first rays of morning light, reading diligently.

He sits upright and straight, his figure slightly thin, his youthful face clear-eyed and a bit shy, yet with a rare calmness for his age.

The boy’s name is William Harris.

He was born a commoner in Luyang City, from a humble family.

In his youth, through diligent practice, he broke through to the first level of the martial artist stage and was admitted to Nancheng Martial Academy, one of the top ten junior academies in Luyang Prefecture, no longer just a commoner without status.

At the time, this caused quite a stir among his neighbors.

Even some distant relatives came to offer congratulations, praising him for his promising future and bringing honor to the Harris family.

This made William Harris quite proud and filled him with ambition, eager to make a name for himself at Nancheng Martial Academy and become a renowned martial artist in Luyang Prefecture.

However, all of this was doused with cold water from the day he entered Nancheng Martial Academy.

William Harris had originally thought that being able to enter Nancheng Martial Academy meant he had some talent.

But upon entering, he discovered that the top ten academies gathered young martial artists from all over Luyang Prefecture, covering hundreds of li, with countless strong and talented individuals.

There were even more children from wealthy families, prestigious clans, and noble houses—so many young people with astonishing talent, advancing rapidly in their cultivation and possessing vast knowledge.

William Harris sadly realized that although he had squeezed into Nancheng Martial Academy through sheer hard work, among his peers there, he was at the very bottom.

But he did not lose heart.

He held only one belief: to do everything he could to become stronger.

Since entering Nancheng Martial Academy three years ago, William Harris has appeared in the classroom before dawn every day, squeezing every bit of his time and energy into his studies.

Seated next to William Harris is a girl of about fifteen or sixteen in a blue dress.

Her long hair flows gracefully, she is fresh and elegant, with a faint fragrance, tall and shapely, her slender waist leading to a pair of long, well-proportioned legs, her whole being radiating youthful charm.

Her delicate, sculpted face is adorned with almond-shaped eyes that glance about, every frown and smile captivating and alluring. Her every movement exudes gentle grace, evoking a desire to cherish and protect her.

The classroom is very quiet, but from time to time, some young martial students, distracted while reading, steal admiring glances at her.
