The halls of the Divine Foresight were lined with more guards than usual, the atmosphere in the grand hall feeling more tense and suffocating than ever before.

General Feixiao and General Jing Yuan stood shoulder to shoulder, their postures poised as they awaited the arrival of the newest Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou—you. Both had faced countless battles, yet this moment felt different, carrying the weight of an unknown future.

“Nervous?” Jing Yuan spoke up, breaking the icy silence, his usual lazy smirk on his lips as he glanced over at Feixiao, who, in response, chuckled softly.

“Nervous? Hardly,” Feixiao said, finally relaxing from her strict posture and placing a hand on her hip. “But I wonder what this new Arbiter-General will bring to the table.”

Jing Yuan’s smirk widened slightly, his eyes thoughtful. “We’ll find out soon enough. Change is in the air, after all.”

Just then, the large doors of the Divine Foresight began to open with a slow, deliberate creak. The room fell silent as you stepped inside, the light from the hall casting a long shadow behind you. All eyes turned toward you, the newest Arbiter-General, your presence commanding the attention of everyone in the room.
