In the light screen, the scene continued to play.
The lady, Black Swan, who was called a Memokeeper, changed her high-pitched and urgent chanting tune.
She pulled everyone out of nanook's oppressive aura.
As if comforting them, she slowly said.
It was at this moment, with the words Black Swan uttered.
The Hunt — Lan!
The name of the next star god replaced nanook's presence, pressing against the light screen, ready to emerge.
A deer-headed emblem, representing Lan, appeared around it. This was both the mark of The Hunt and the target of The Hunt.
It represented the Fecundity Abominations.
But you, children of the earth, must not be alarmed!
Arrows of light will come to purge the evil abominations!
You must follow the tracks and worship where the storm points!
The screen darkened, accompanied by the twang of a bowstring.
Twang—!
Lan's figure appeared on the light screen, and the music in their ears was no longer so urgent.
Lan wore a mask, their purple long hair fluttering in the wind behind their head.
They raised their arm, and a bow and arrow, seemingly formed from flowing light, appeared in their hand.
The bowstring was already drawn, and the infallible arrow was already aimed at the enemy.
Starlight gathered, forming the arrowhead, waiting only for Lan to release their fingers, and it would slay all enemies!
Looking down, Lan's chest was an array of what looked like stars.
Chunfeng, this star array looks like the Big Dipper. Could it be that this star god of The Hunt, Lan, is the incarnation of the Big Dipper?!
Brother Yuan, I think they look more like the Horn Constellation, Li Chunfeng shook his head and smiled helplessly.
The Southern Dipper governs life, and the Northern Dipper governs Death. Perhaps they really are the incarnation of the Big Dipper.
He and Yuan Tiangang were called into the palace by Li Shimin not long after the light screen appeared to inquire about these star gods.
Although both of them were proficient in this field, they had never heard of these gods.
And the lower body of this star god of The Hunt made people marvel even more.
But at the same time, it also made people from various dynasties in China feel a bit more favorable towards Lan.
Lan's upper body was human, while their lower body was a combination of a horse and wheels.
From a distance, it looked like a warrior drawing a bow and arrow, riding a chariot, and aiming at a target.
The Hunt's legs were raised high, stepping on the void.
The wheels behind them burned with blue flames, constantly galloping across the galaxy.
Compared to the star god of destruction nanook, Lan's monstrous form actually conformed more to the image of primitive gods in Chinese mythology.
One must know that in past myths and legends, the gods of heaven and earth were basically primitive forms that were half-human and half-beast.
Those with purely human bodies like nanook were actually a minority.
Immediately after, the light screen shifted.
Information about the star god of The Hunt was revealed.
The wandering star god, known as the divine archer of the firmament, endlessly roamed between worlds, eradicating the undying abominations that once plagued their homeland.
Lan's The Hunt never counted the cost, and their salvation and destruction were almost indistinguishable.
They were cold, ruthless, and always on the path of pursuit, never stopping.
They symbolized revenge and The Hunt.
In the first ten thousand years, the hunter drew arrows for survival. In the second ten thousand years, the hunter drew their bow for anger. In the third ten thousand years, The Hunt became the purpose itself.
Boundless hatred, endless pursuit, how much sorrow does the hunter lord bear? The star arrow is on the string, the golden eyes burn, the emperor bow does not look back.
—Xianzhou, 【Universal Compendium】
Next to it were a few inexplicable terms—Pharmacist, Xianzhou Alliance, Astral Rangers.
The eight steeds travel three thousand li a day, why did King Mu never return?
the divine archer of the firmament galloped across the universe, using the galaxy as a chariot path and meteors as arrows, shooting arrows that proclaimed Death at all Fecundity Abominations.
Upon hearing it, when the twang of that bowstring sounded, it was the tolling of the bell announcing the arrival of Death!!!
Great Han Dynasty, during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.
In the military camp far in the northern desert.
Led by Wei Qing, the army was campaigning against the Xiongnu.
The Hunt, the divine archer of the firmament. Good, this is much more interesting than some immortal dragon.
As an immortal, what fun is there in merely pursuing eternal life? If one cannot achieve something great, it is better to end oneself.
I must be like you, transformed into a ray of light for the Great Han, forever pursuing these Xiongnu!
Huo Qubing sat by a bonfire, excitedly watching the light screen displayed in the sky.
This star god, who sounded so much like a Chinese deity, whether in appearance, power, or the destiny they followed.
All greatly interested Huo Qubing. The moment he saw The Hunt, he had a feeling as if he was born for this destiny of The Hunt.
Clearing the borders and hunting the Xiongnu, wasn't this exactly what he had in mind?
During the Five Barbarians Uprising.
In a village occupied by the Hu people.
A child of about ten years old was crying bitterly, sprawled over the body of a dead woman, constantly calling out for his mother.
His cries were heartbreaking, filled with immense grief.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed him by the back of his collar, lifting him into the air.
Kid, crying is useless. Only the swords in their hands can make those Hu people obey.
A burly man with a full beard brought his head close to the child's face and slowly said.
These Hu dogs kill us Han people, treating us as two-legged sheep, slaughtering and devouring us at will.
The brawny man's tiger eyes widened, and he roared furiously: If you want to avenge your mother, pick up the knife in your hand and chop off the head of this Hu dog!
Kill to stop killing, blood for blood! We must become the blade, the blood feud!
The brawny man handed a blood-stained blade to the child, pointing to a Hu soldier tied to a wooden stake nearby, remaining silent.
The child trembled, lowered his head, and staggered forward, dragging his feet, holding the blade.
I, can I go with you all?! The child's face was covered in tears, and beside him was a head that had rolled to the ground.
The brawny man laughed heartily. He said: My name is Ran Min, and from now on, you'll follow me!
We must emulate this divine archer of the firmament, transformed into revenge and The Hunt, and exterminate these Hu people who have brought chaos to our China!
I, I also want to be like you and protect more people. I want others to be able to live with their mothers.
Hahaha, good. I promise you, in the place where I am, such things will never happen again!
Ran Min laughed and swung onto his horse, pulling the nameless child onto his back as well.
Vaguely, beneath Ran Min's clothing on his back, a symbol of The Hunt seemed to flash.
The first time, the child raised the blade for his mother's revenge.
The second time, the youth wielded the long blade so that other children would not experience his past.
The third time, The Hunt had already become the young man's purpose.
At this moment, they had already stepped onto the destiny of The Hunt, symbolizing revenge and The Hunt.
To defend their homeland, every person who dared to stand up and fight.
They would all transform into the light arrows of the emperor bow, carrying out the destiny of The Hunt.
