Chapter 606: Besiege
Li Pin, Fang Chunyang, Xu Anping, and the others arrived on the ravaged land of the Twin Moon Domain.
Six years ago, a war broke out between the three Ancient Gods, Scorching Sun and the Violet and Silver Twin Moons.
It was a battle unlike any in history. The Scorching Sun had merged with the colossal sun overhead, spanning 220,000 kilometers in diameter. The Violet and Silver Moons, on the other hand, had each fused with one of the two moons, each measuring 40,000 kilometers in diameter.
Despite their smaller size, the Twin Moons held greater control over their celestial bodies. With two against one, Scorching Sun was at a disadvantage.
The aftermath of their battle was nothing short of a catastrophe for the people of the Twin Moon Domain.
The Twin Moons' pursuit of Scorching Sun alone threw the tides into chaos, triggering relentless tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes. When Scorching Sun drew too close, the land suffered droughts and wildfires; when it drifted too far, blizzards and harsh cold swept across the world.
Crops withered, forests burned, and coastlines froze. Species went extinct at a rate unseen in millennia. Each year, the death toll among the domain's inhabitants rose by billions.
Countless True Gods and extraordinary beings raced across the lands to provide aid. However, as long as the battle continued, the complete extinction of all life within the Twin Moon Domain was inevitable.

"Ancient Gods... in the vast universe, they are merely equivalent to Planet Lords at the Demigod level," Li Pin murmured as he walked across a snow-covered hill.
Before him lay a city that had once housed tens of thousands. The sudden shift in climate had buried it under a deadly blizzard. A layer of snow, more than ten meters thick, entombed everything.
