Tian Ya, the young mistress of the Light Clan… this section reveals her tragic story.
The day Solarius Knight fell into the lower realm known as Earth, the fate of the Great Tian Sect shifted as if the heavens themselves had tilted.
What once stood as a pillar of balance and harmony began to crumble in silence. No thunder roared, no bells tolled — yet an invisible storm had already begun.
In the shadows of that sudden absence, Di Tian Yi, the head of the Thunder Clan and a long-time affiliate of the Tian Sect, rose to power.
With calculated humility and a mask of loyalty, he seized the position of Sect Master. Authority flowed into his hands like a river finding a new course, and soon, no voice within the sect could oppose his command.
At first, his rule appeared orderly… even righteous. But beneath that calm surface, resentment brewed like poison.
The Light Clan, once honored and generously supported by the Tian Sect, slowly found their resources reduced, their requests ignored, and their influence stripped away piece by piece. What had once been respect turned into quiet discrimination, and discrimination soon twisted into cruelty.
Minor mistakes became unforgivable sins.
Whispers became accusations.
Accusations became executions.
Members of the Light Clan began to disappear — some imprisoned without trial, others publicly punished to instill fear.
The once radiant halls that echoed with laughter and scholarly debates were now filled with hushed footsteps and trembling breaths. Hope dimmed, like a candle struggling against an endless night.
And within this growing darkness, no one realized that the fall of one man had not merely changed leadership…
It had awakened a tragedy that would scar generations to come.
The Tian Sect, situated in the vast Central Plains, stood as one of the most powerful and revered sects in the entire Mystical Realm. Its towering halls pierced the clouds, its disciples were feared across kingdoms, and its name alone was enough to silence conflicts.
For centuries, it had been a symbol of strength, wisdom, and unshakable authority.
Yet, on a single fateful day… everything began to change.
The two princes of the Northern Plains, heirs to a dominion known for its ruthless warriors and icy ambition, arrived at the Tian Sect under the guise of a diplomatic visit.
Their arrival was grand — banners fluttered like storms in the wind, armored guards marched in perfect rhythm, and whispers spread among the disciples like wildfire.
No one dared to offend them, for their kingdom's influence rivaled even the might of the great sects.
Amid the ceremonial greetings and formal exchanges, fate wove an unexpected thread.
As the princes walked through the jade corridors of the sect, their eyes fell upon a young woman standing beneath the blooming silver blossoms of the inner courtyard — Tian Ya.
Her presence was calm yet radiant, like moonlight resting upon still water. A gentle breeze toyed with her hair, and for a fleeting moment, the noisy world around them seemed to fall into silence.
Both prince stopped mid-step.
It was not merely her beauty that captured them, but an indescribable aura — a blend of elegance, purity, and quiet strength that stirred something deep within their hearts. Curiosity turned into fascination, and fascination into a desire neither of them voiced aloud… yet neither could ignore.
Unbeknownst to all, that single glance would become the spark that ignited a chain of events destined to shake the balance of the Mystical Realm itself.
The two brothers were known across the Northern Plains as the "Golden God" and the "Silver God" — titles earned not merely through royal blood, but through their overwhelming talent and terrifying unity on the battlefield.
Where one stood, the other was never far behind. They fought together, ruled together, and even dreamed together, as if they shared a single will split between two bodies.
Their bond was unnaturally deep.
Since childhood, there had never been jealousy between them, nor rivalry. Wealth, glory, victories — everything was divided equally without hesitation. To the world, their unity was admirable. To their enemies, it was frightening.
But fate had now placed before them something neither gold nor silver could measure.
The moment their gazes fell upon Tian Ya, a silent understanding passed between the two. No words were spoken, yet both hearts burned with the same desire. For the first time, they did not wish to compete… nor did they wish to yield.
Instead, a dangerous thought bloomed —
"If neither could let go… then neither would".
What began as admiration slowly twisted into obsession, and obsession into a pact unspoken but firmly sealed between brothers who had never denied each other anything.
They convinced themselves it was fairness, a continuation of their lifelong promise to share all things equally.
Yet deep within the shadows of that decision lay the seed of chaos — for a human heart was not a treasure to be divided, nor a throne to be jointly claimed. And the heavens, silent as they were, had already begun to watch.
And just like that, they plan to shares Tian ya between each other like a toy.
