However, in his eyes, this bow was far inferior to his other bow, the Overlord Bow.
He wasn't particularly interested in that, but his gaze was drawn to the murals on the wall.
The next moment, Su Yue was deeply shocked.
The once silent murals seemed to be infused with life, transforming into a series of animations that vividly told an ancient story:
Hou Yi, originally named Yi, is a figure in ancient Chinese mythology.
He possessed a triple identity: human, god, and ghost. In life, he was a god-man who was half-god and half-human, and after death, he became a ghost king who was half-ghost and half-god.
He once assisted Emperor Yao in shooting down nine suns, leaving only one, hence the folk tale of "Hou Yi shooting down the suns".
He rid the world of six scourges (Yayu, Zaochi, Jiuying, Dafeng, Fengxi, and Xiushe), defeated the Yellow River God who was causing chaos, and rescued the Goddess of the Luo River.

Without hesitation, Su Yue placed his hand on the legendary divine bow.
Suddenly, a red light flashed!
According to the laws of the apocalypse, only god-tier equipment can unleash this light!
