The Eternal Hourglass disappeared from his vision. For an instant, there was only silence and flowing golden light. Then the world changed.
Max appeared back in the Black Dragon Clan. The moment his feet touched the ground, a thunderous roar hit him from every direction.
"Max!"
"Champion!"
"Max Morgan!"
"The champion has returned!"
It felt like the entire Black Dragon Clan had gathered to welcome him. The main square was packed with disciples, elders, branch members, family guards, servants, retainers, and powerful figures from every faction in the clan.
Huge banners had already gone up across the sky, black and gold dragon flags flapped in the wind, and countless celebration formations sent streams of light into the heavens. Dragon-shaped fireworks burst above the clan grounds, spelling out Max's name again and again in blazing golden letters.
[Max Morgan]
[Cosmic Ascension Conference Champion]
