Artifacts were not only weapons or treasures—they were foundations upon which entire tribes rose and fell. Among the Hermit Tribes, each tribe possessed a Heavenly Artifact that served as its lifeline.
Alone, these artifacts were powerful, but together, when used by the leaders of the Hermit Tribes, they could weave a grand miracle: the creation of a Void Secret Realm.
It was this truth Ethan had uncovered after gaining the loyalty of the Bonepiercer Tribe.
The so-called Hermit Tribes were not merely ancient reclusive clans—they were guardians of fragments that, when merged, could open a doorway into the void itself.
But such a treasure was not without tragedy.
The Bone Heaven Orb of the Bonepiercer Tribe and the Moon Heaven Orb of the Moonshadow Tribe had both been half-destroyed during the invasion of the Bloodclaw Tribe.
Though the orbs still contained remnants of their former glory, they were crippled, unable to function at their true capacity.
