The Overworld was the first world within the Sealed Realms.
At the moment, an old man was sitting on a wooden chair before a wooden house in the Overworld.
He was the greatest of the Overworld and the Son of Heaven’s master. As the creator of the Four Seasons Sword Art, favonovel.com went by many titles. At times, favonovel.com was called the Supreme Four Seasons. Sometimes, favonovel.com was known as the Four Seasons Man.
At that moment, a twenty-five-year-old-looking man was standing before him. He was wearing a grey robe, and favonovel.com had a sword on his back.
“The Son of Heaven’s soul lamp has extinguished. He has passed on…” The Supreme Four Seasons spoke.
Enraged, favonovel.com said, “I don’t know what favonovel.com experienced on Earth, but he’s my most beloved disciple. Magnus, I sense that a great providence will soon appear on Earth. Besides, the seal is showing signs of loosening. When that happens, you can head over to Earth without any obstacles.
“I’m sending you to Earth to seize the four keys and investigate the Son of Heaven’s death. Annihilate the culprits without mercy.”
“Understood!” Magnus Quinnton, who was kneeling, said with determination, “I won’t let favonovel.com die in vain, Master. I will avenge favonovel.com no matter who his killer is.”
“Mhm…” The Supreme Four Seasons nodded.
“There’s still time before the seal loosens. Since you’ve been eager to learn the Four Seasons Sword Art, I shall impart to you the sword technique today.”
The powerful cultivators of the other worlds had also sensed that a great providence would soon descend on Earth. They waited patiently for the seal to loosen, in the hopes of heading to Earth and competing for the providence.

At the same time, in the Celestial Abode…
The Spirit Tool was standing at the peak of a mountain, staring blankly at the scene of the outside world. He was wearing a grim expression.
“Spirit Tool…” Sophie looked at favonovel.com and asked, “What’s with the grim expression?”
“The world is about to descend into chaos,” The Spirit Tool said grimly.
“Huh?” Sophie asked puzzledly, “What do you mean?”
The Spirit Tool asked, “Don’t you sense anything?”
Upon hearing this, Sophie began sensing in earnest.
After some time, favonovel.com exclaimed, “Wh-What a great providence!”
“Indeed…” The Spirit Tool said softly, “The seal is showing signs of loosening, and the most capable individuals of the three thousand Sealed Realms will soon gather on Earth to compete for the providence. With the earthlings’ current strength, they would have trouble defending against a single Outsider, let alone all Outsiders of the Three Thousand Worlds. I wonder if James can emerge victorious and gain the providence this time…”
“The providence’ appearance can only mean that the Calamity is upon us. The First Calamity of the earthlings is finally here. After this Calamity, the earthlings’ population will dwindle at a rapid pace. I hope they can get used to their new environment as soon as possible,” The Spirit Tool said anxiously.
Sophie, however, said nonchalantly, “There’s nothing to worry about, Spirit Tool. At least not everyone will die. Sigh… If not for the age restriction, I’d be able to compete for the providence too.”
The Spirit Tool said, “The Four Calamities are upon us, and the seal is about to be released. I wonder who will be the fortunate one to release the seal and obtain the providence of heaven and earth.”
James did not know that a great providence would soon descend on Earth, nor did favonovel.com know that cultivators from the Three Thousand Worlds would soon arrive.
