Silent and soundless.
The flowing lake of magma, burning quietly, had almost congealed into a golden-red flame in the shape of a phoenix...
In the next second, everything was engulfed by a mysterious force.
Everything... turned into a silent and exquisitely beautiful sculpture of ice.
....
In the distant Extreme North.
At the edge surrounded by endless ice and snow, the rushing icefalls and the vast white snow covered everything, and the towering snow-capped mountains stood as the silent and eternal guardians of this isolated world.
Time seemed to have frozen here, years did not pass, only the whispers of ice, snow, and wind lingered between heaven and earth.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud booming sound shattered the peace of this world.
From within the snow mountains, ancient beings awoke from their slumber.
On the most ancient, steep, and dignified snow mountain, within the ancient white Temple, a hunched and aged shadow suddenly opened his eyes.
