❄️ Somewhere in the Far North – Frostveil Domain
Deep within the eternal snowfields of the Frostveil Domain, an ancient spirit vein stirred for the first time in centuries.
Within a silver lotus temple, a girl sat in meditation.
Her silver-white hair fluttered, untouched by wind.
Her eyes—closed for thirteen years—opened slowly.
Glowing violet.
> "He has awakened."

🕊 Ashen Root Sect – Inner Court Quarters
Shěn Nìchén sat alone in the caveabode, now expanded by the system into a meditation chamber, a refining forge, and a sleeping corridor—though he never used the last one.
He was currently refining Void Qi into his Nascent Soul core, compressing it further with 86% mastery of Sword Intent.
Then the system chimed.

💜 Frostveil – A Name Hidden from the Heavens
Her name: Lán Xueyin.
Known by some as the Violet-Eyed Snow Saintess—a prodigy sealed by her own clan out of fear.
Why? Because her soul burned with a power no diviner could read, and no elder could suppress.
She was born during a Voidstorm, during which five fate mirrors shattered when they tried to test her potential.
And now, for the first time in years, she spoke:
> "I saw him. A man of no destiny. A void in the weave."
"Just like me…"

🌒 Night – Ashen Root Sect Outer Forest
That night, Shěn Nìchén left the cave, walking alone under the moon.
He suddenly stopped.
Snow fell from the sky—not natural snow.
Each flake shimmered with violet energy.
A soft breeze whispered through the trees.
From a tear in space, a single lotus petal drifted toward him.
He caught it.
> "A memory seal…" he muttered.
"Transmitted across realms?"
He scanned it briefly.
A girl's voice echoed in his mind.
> "You walk without destiny. So do I."
"When the Veil Breaks… find me."
Shěn crushed the petal. His cold eyes narrowed.
> "Another anomaly."

🧊 Observation Tower – Wu Shentao (Blind)
Lying silently in healing, his eyes still bleeding faintly.
He whispered in a trance:
> "Snow… violet… and void…"
"What kind of being have we provoked…?"
