The sun dipped low when Han Li stepped onto Skyward Peak to clean a broken bell.
He didn't sense the heavens watching. Or rather—he ignored them.
A gust of wind rose.
Clouds parted.
And then, the sky opened.
A colossal golden eye blinked into existence above the Thousand Lotus Sect. Divine, vast, and ancient—it scanned the land below.
Disciples dropped to their knees.
Elders formed protective barriers.
The eye moved… and locked onto Han Li.
He looked up, expression calm.
Time paused.
The golden eye twitched—uncertain—then blinked and vanished in a burst of starlight.
"Was that… Heaven's Eye?" someone croaked.
Han Li slurped his soup.
"Too salty."
Far above, celestial scribes erased prophecies and adjusted destinies. One trembled as he stamped a new scroll:
> Han Li
