At a mountain peak in the western part of the Western Continent.
Mists wafted through the mountains, accumulating into misty lakes that filled up the valleys. The morning breeze swept across the forests, where trees greeted each other good morning amidst the rustling of leaves.
A new day, a new beginning.
Xia Zhou floated up from the earth's depth, emerging from the hidden cave, and took in the beautiful scenery from a giant pine tree at the peak.
The mountains were stacked upon each other, with the morning glow dazzlingly beautiful.
"Heh heh heh…" Xia Zhou let out a somewhat triumphant chuckle.
At first, his laughter was under control, but once the joy in his heart met the vast scenery before him, he couldn't hold back his impulse to laugh out loud.
"Hahaha~~"
The laughter startled the birds in the forest and the beasts lurking among the trees.
Xia Zhou patted his belly, suppressed his laughter, but a slight smile still lingered on his face.
