Five years later, Jin Naluo received an invitation for exceptional students from Wanling City.

"You are our pride."

His mother dressed him in new clothes with a face full of joy.

Jin Naluo's body stiffened. In his childhood memories, his mother's face always carried a murderous intent, devoid of any smile.

But now, that mother seemed to have vanished.

She never looked like a mother before, but after coming to the Three Realms, she began to resemble an ordinary person more and more.

However, this change was not only in his mother but also among many of the Asura people.

Jin Naluo bid farewell to his kin and boarded a carriage that had flown in from the outside world.

"My name is Song Xin, I am going to Wanling City just like you."

A young man from the Human Clan sat in the carriage, extending his hand to Jin Naluo in a familiar manner.

It was the first time Jin Naluo had seen a human this enthusiastic, making him hesitate.

"It doesn't hurt to get to know one another."

The Taoist driving the carriage took off into the sky and said, "You might be fighting for the same cause in the future."

Jin Naluo did not fully understand but still shook hands with Song Xin.

Song Xin was optimistic, unlike Jin Naluo, and he kept asking many questions about the Asura Clan during the journey.

Finally, when he stopped talking, Jin Naluo asked, "What is the same cause?"

"You don't know?"

Song Xin expressed surprise: "Of course, it's to resist the great calamity of the Three Realms!"

The carriage swept across the sky, the wind howling loudly.

Jin Naluo looked at Song Xin, thinking he had heard wrong: "We are to resist the great calamity of the Three Realms?"

"Of course."

Song Xin nodded, explaining that the Immortals had recently uncovered the truth about the calamity.

They have built a gigantic Immortal Mirror in the Asura Realm to monitor the blood-red space, deducing the true form that the calamity will ultimately reveal through its changes and growth every year.

"Wanling Heavenly Dao has calculated, discovering unstable signs in that terrifying space, predicting it will explode in a hundred years,"

said Song Xin.

Jin Naluo was surprised: "That's the calamity? Only a hundred years?"

"Yes, the calamity of the Three Realms is hastened due to the awakening of the Buddha Beads,"

Song Xin nodded and continued, "Once that space explodes, the released force could destroy the Three Realms."

Jin Naluo furrowed his brows slightly.

"But the good news is, that Buddha Beads being the fuse of the explosion, cannot leave that space,"

Song Xin added, "We are safe for this century."

Jin Naluo looked at him curiously: "How do you know all this?"

"The teachers at Wanling City told me through identity marks,"

Song Xin lifted his hair to reveal a pattern near his ear.

"Wanling City selected us specifically to study and prepare for this disaster."

He asked Jin Naluo, "Don't you have a mark?"

Jin Naluo shook his head: "No."

He had heard of identity marks; they are patterns inscribed with spells that represent each person's different identity.

These patterns allow their bearers to contact and sense each other and have spread rapidly across the Three Realms in recent years.

However, the Asura Clan is not yet recognized as people of the Three Realms, so they do not have such marks.

"I almost forgot you are from the Asura Clan."

Song Xin quickly realized, smiling, "No worries, someone will mark you once we reach Wanling City."

"Can this tattoo be removed?"

Jin Naluo asked again.

"Of course, but it's somewhat painful,"

Song Xin touched the pattern, adding, "I wouldn't want to lose it; it contains the power of a certain mineral which, I'm told, is similar to the Barrier of the Three Realms and can withstand the impact of the explosion."

Jin Naluo remembered the mineral discovered years ago.

"That mineral can withstand impacts?"

He asked in surprise.

"It's a bit helpful, but better than nothing,"

Song Xin nodded, "The Heavenly Emperor said the explosion would affect Immortal Law and Heavenly Dao; by then, all Immortal powers might become ineffective, and the most resistant thing we have found so far is the Barrier of the Three Realms."

During the battle between Sun Wukong and Zhulong, the power of the Buddha Beads did not affect the Barrier of the Three Realms.

The Immortals thus highly value this mineral, and a series of developments has been undertaken.

"This identity mark was created a year ago, and the Heavenly Emperor immediately promoted it, proving something."

Song Xin asked Jin Naluo, "Do you know what that is?"

Jin Naluo looked at Song Xin's ear.

The identity mark somewhat resembled the pattern of Wanling, and the technology used was undoubtedly that of Wanling Heavenly Dao.

If the explosion truly causes the powers of the Three Realms to go out of control, Wanling Heavenly Dao may be our last hope.

And that means...

"Mortals are the key to saving the Three Realms."

Jin Naluo said.

During the great calamity, when the Immortals lose their power, the role of mortals will become particularly critical.

This was a simple deduction.

Song Xin immediately became delighted: "You guessed right."

The Four Great Continents are now excavating and nurturing mortals.

These short-lived mortals might spend their entire lives working towards the goal of the great calamity.

Yet, on the possibilities of Heavenly Dao, having even one more person counts.

Jin Naluo understood the cause and effect, feeling both joy and a heavy heart, sensing that the path ahead would not be easy.

But what he did not anticipate was that the difficulties of this path would exceed everyone's imagination.
