Mo'er Plain.
This is the largest plain in the central region of the West Continent, bordering the three great powers of Deni Country, Mei Jia Country, and Sefren Country.
Throughout the history of the Western Continent, the three great powers have fought countless wars to divide the territory of Mo'er Plain.
Eventually, Mo'er Plain was divided among the three great powers, leaving a no-man's land in the center.
Though it's called no-man's land, very few can reach this area as they need to cross the border lines set by the three great powers.
Moreover, the three great powers have very strict checks on those entering this area.
Rather than a buffer zone left intentionally by the three great powers, it's more like a jointly monitored forbidden area.
At this moment, the outskirts of the forbidden area have gathered over a dozen dukes from the Seven Countries, with two princes.
Inside the forbidden area, seven kings are present!
It's safe to say that the Western Continent's strongest combat power is all here.
The seven kings wear crowns and specific attire, coming to the center of the forbidden area as if attending a grand ceremony.
Hundreds of towering stone pillars, over a hundred meters tall, form this area, with the pillars in milky white carved with bizarre patterns of exotic beasts.
The seven kings stand dispersed, encircling the stone pillars, and then walk in from seven different directions.
Suddenly, beams of glorious light shoot into the sky—
The Twelve-winged Angels radiate a holy brilliance.
The menacing Flame Demon roars toward the sky surrounded by flames.
The Golden Armored War God wields a sword and shield.
An ice-cold Giant Dragon circles in the sky...
These are the Divine Aspects of the seven kings, seen as the result of the Dao Establishment Grandmaster highly concentrating the Martial Arts Domain.
Prince Level experts can evolve the Divine Aspect deeply, developing the power to the utmost, making each king's current display of their Divine Aspect a representation of the peak bloodline power of the Western Continent!
The seven quickly enter the Stone Forest, gazing at a stone pillar towering into the clouds.
This stone pillar seems to pierce the Sky Dome, reaching an unknown height!
Such a stone pillar should have been clearly visible from afar.
Yet the seven kings traversed the Stone Forest and arrived at the stone pillar before truly seeing it.
"Do you think... could it be real?"
The man with the Twelve-winged Angel Aspect spoke.
He is the king of Deni Country, Huary Leonard.
With the realm of the seven kings, they can immediately tell that the looming stone pillar is merely an illusion.
What truly shocks them is not the illusion itself, but that this illusion has existed for over a millennium!
"If it were merely legends of one or two families, it might be coincidental, but if all seven families have the same legends, it can't be false."
The man with the Divine Aspect of the Golden Armored War God spoke.
He is the king of Sefren Country, Revan Crawford.
Among the three great powers, Sefren Country is the only one whose Royal Capital was breached, making the stone pillar Revan's last hope, and he cannot accept the legend as false.
The Royal Family of the Seven Western Countries has always had a common legend—
If one day, foreign tribes invade, and more than two of the Seven Western Countries' Royal Cities are breached, the kings of the Seven Countries can gather here to pray for Divine aid.
This legend, upon hearing, often invites ridicule.
Foreign tribes invading and even breaching at least two Western countries' Royal Cities?
What kind of foreign tribes could have such strength?
Moreover, should two countries fall, what does it concern the other five?
Surely they would seize the chance to divide the fallen countries' power and grow their own!
What a joke, asking for help calling reinforcements?
Not to mention the Divine, the promise of aid, it sounds utterly unreal!
Though people of the Western Continent generally believe in the Divine, the higher the nobility, the less they believe in them.
Thus, despite the legend being circulated among the Royal Families of the Seven Countries, few take it to heart.
Were it not for this Stone Forest, this thousand-year-old illusion, the Royal Families of the Seven Countries might not even care for the legend, passing it down through generations.
In recent years, the three great powers have essentially occupied this forbidden area, thoroughly researching the Stone Forest and the illusion.
Ultimately, nothing has been discovered.
The material of the stone pillars, how the illusion is produced, the source of the power maintaining the illusion.
All remain unknown.
If one country had occupied this place, these stone pillars might have been dismantled and studied long ago.
Coincidentally, because the three great powers simultaneously occupy the area, mutual restraint allows the Stone Forest to be relatively intact.
Now, an unbreakable enemy has crossed the sea.
In just a few months, three countries' Royal Cities have been breached.
The enemy displays an unmatched power!
The Royal Families of the Seven Western Countries can only pin their hopes on the illusory legend.
What was once deemed impossible has now happened—
The Seven Countries are united as never before!
Huary gazes upward along the towering stone pillar.
Someone once proposed a conjecture—
Is it possible that by flying up along the stone pillar, reaching its end, one might uncover the secret of the legend?
Later, the three great powers all sent people to attempt it.
Initially, Marquis Level experts with flying abilities tried, followed by Duke Level experts.
Finally, even Prince Level experts attempted it.
Yet without exception, no one could continue flying to the end.
Upon reaching a certain height, their strength waned, forcing them to return.
