The Donghuang Bell rang, and the sound rose from the Qilian Mountains and echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

Fog.

In the deserted ruins, a young girl was sitting cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on her work. Her eyes were closed and her body was covered with veil-like dust. It seemed that she had not moved for a long time.

The moment the bell rang, the girl's eyelashes trembled, a strong breath burst out from her body, and the dust covering her body flew up in an instant!

She slowly opened her eyes and looked down at the back of her hand. Among the only two remaining marks, one was emitting a faint glow.

"The Donghuang Bell rings, the [Holy Covenant] responds, the fog dissipates, and all things come back to life..."

Chloe narrowed her eyes and stood up from the ground.

"This day has finally come."

The power of faith accumulated in her body was rapidly devoured in the faint light of the mark, and her face turned visibly pale. As a stream of scarlet blood spurted out, the second mark faded away without a trace.

"The Second Covenant has been activated, and a war is about to begin... It seems that this place is not safe anymore." Chloe looked towards Daxia, "It's time to go back."

She took a step forward and her figure disappeared into the hazy mist.

…

Ding-ding-ding! !

The loud sound of the bell swept across the sea. Jin Yi looked in the direction of Da Xia in confusion. Just as he was about to ask something, a dazzling light burst out from the chest of Lin Qiye beside him!

The mark of the Second Covenant gradually dissipated, and a terrifying beam of light burst out from Lin Qiye's body and rushed straight into the sky!

In this surging beam of light, Lin Qiye raised his hands, one pointing to the sky and the other to the ground.

The deep voice was like a law, echoing under the sky.

"Disperse."

Boom!

In an instant, a ripple visible to the naked eye rose up with him as the center. The light gray mist suddenly stagnated and was torn open by the ripple!

As the ripples spread in all directions, the fog quickly dissipated like melting ice and snow. Ji Nian only felt a breeze brushing across her cheek, and the fog around her disappeared without a trace. She turned her head in surprise and saw that her originally hazy vision was becoming clear at an astonishing speed!

"This..." Ji Nian looked at the scene and opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

The sky, the sea, the land, the mountains... one after another, the ruins of cities shrouded in fog were exposed to the sun, and the dead wilderness filled with animal corpses reappeared in the world.

If you stand in space and look down at the earth at this moment, the gray-white fog seems to be gently blown away, and the azure sea, snow-white glaciers, and light brown land gradually appear... It's like the spider webs and dust that have covered this planet have been swept away, revealing a gem-like shining brilliance.

"You...how did you do that?" Ji Nian was stunned for more than ten seconds before he came to his senses.

"I borrowed the power of the Holy Covenant." Lin Qiye replied calmly, "It has been more than a hundred years since the fog descended. Compared with the disaster that destroyed everything back then, the fog has weakened a lot now, probably less than 2% of its original concentration, so the cost of dispelling the fog is actually not that huge."

"The Covenant? What is that? Can I use it?"

"...I'll tell you in detail when I get back."

Even as the two were talking, the ripples had already swept across most of the Earth. The grayish-white fog had completely melted away, and even the foggy wall at the border of Daxia had disappeared without a trace!

…

Daxia, border.

In the city near the foggy wall, pedestrians were walking back and forth on the road. As the sound of the Donghuang Bell resounded through the sky, they all looked around in surprise:

"Bells? Where are the bells coming from?"

"I don't know... there doesn't seem to be any temples around here?"

"Strange, it feels like it's right next to my ear."

“…”

The sound of the Donghuang Bell made these people confused for a moment, but they didn't think much about it and continued to move forward busily.

A beggar sat on the edge of the street, shaking a few coins in a stainless steel bowl, making a jingling sound, and said hoarsely:

"Amitabha... The Buddha has appeared... Please give me some money so I can have a meal. Good people will have a peaceful life... The Buddha has appeared, please give me some money... Please..."

I don’t know if it was because of the bell, but many passers-by hesitated for a moment and then chose to give a few dollars.

The beggar grinned, put the dozen coins in the stainless steel bowl into his arms, leaving only two, and continued to shake it clinkingly.

“Blessings and infinite blessings from the Heavenly Venerable… The Heavenly Venerable has appeared…Blessings and infinite blessings from the Heavenly Venerable… Please give me some money…Blessings and infinite blessings…”

Before he finished speaking, the beggar glanced into the distance and suddenly froze in place.

He stared blankly in that direction, and the stainless steel bowl in his hand fell to the ground with a bang, attracting the attention of passers-by.

The beggar staggered to his feet, pointed tremblingly into the distance, and stammered:

“It’s working…it’s really working!!!”

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed, and their pupils suddenly contracted!

On the border of Daxia, the foggy wall that had stood for over a hundred years was melting away at an extremely fast speed. The fog that symbolized death and the unknown disappeared without a trace. The dim sunlight swept across the desolate horizon and fell on the city, as if coating everything with a layer of light gold.

The streets were blocked by moving vehicles. Figures opened their doors and walked out, staring at the scene in a daze. The shrill sounds of horns rang out behind them one after another.

They looked at the sunset that had never appeared in this city, standing there like sculptures.

After a brief silence, someone finally came to his senses and muttered to himself:

"The fog has dissipated... the fog has dissipated?!"

“The fog has really cleared!!!”

"Wife! Wife!! Come out and see! The fog has cleared!"

"Oh shit... is this really a miracle?? Is it Buddha or the Celestial Lord?" The beggar stood there blankly, as countless passers-by hugged and cheered around him. Countless banknotes were poured into the stainless steel bowl in front of him, as if it was not a tool for begging, but a place for offerings to some god.

The same scene occurred not only in this small border town, but also in all the cities and villages along the border of Daxia, and even the war passes where the Night Watchmen were stationed, all of which witnessed the fog dissipating.

A gust of wind blew across Daxia, taking away the foggy wall that had suppressed them for over a hundred years, and bringing a new and unknown world to them.

Just when everyone was shocked, a long golden streak crossed the sky!

"What is that?!"

"Is it a plane?"

"Bullshit, how can a plane be that fast?!"

"It's definitely not a plane... I seemed to see a figure in the golden light?"

"I saw it too! It seemed to have six white wings, and it disappeared in an instant..."

"Nonsense, who can fly in the sky with wings? An angel?"

"Really? If you don't believe me, just look... I was filming the scene of the fog dispersing, and I happened to record a clip. I'll slow it down so you can take a closer look..."

"I took a picture of it too! It looks like... it's really a person!!"
