At this moment, the entire server was in a frenzy, boiling with excitement!
As the second artifact of the server, the appearance of Shattered Dream was undeniably eye-catching. The first auction of the server was about to take place, and nearly all the major forces from the Main Cities had gathered in Southern Wilderness City. It was precisely at this time that Shattered Dream made its grand entrance before everyone's eyes.
Those who understood the significance were naturally aware, while those who didn't might think there was some ulterior motive...
At this time, Maple Village was truly surrounded, packed tightly with players. Even the battle-hardened Yi Tianchen found it hard to comprehend where so many players had suddenly come from; it was all too sudden and overwhelming.
"Let's go!"
With a call, Yi Tianchen, who didn’t have time to check the specific attributes of Shattered Dream, bid farewell to Dwarf Blacksmith Kahn. He didn’t even help clean up the forge before hurrying with Liu Yuhan towards the village's general store. There, players could easily purchase useful return scrolls.
"Look! Shattered Dream is right next to her..."
A loud voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, followed by a gasp of realization: "Oh my! I think I know that person. Isn’t she President Light Cold Evening Snow from Mist of Time? Wait—who’s that next to her? Could it be the current First Person at Level?"
"It’s Fallen Leaves Whisper! Yes, it’s definitely Fallen Leaves Whisper..." another voice chimed in, astonished. "If that's the case, then what he’s carrying on his shoulder must be Dragon's Roar! Ranked second on the Equipment List... Oh no, now it's third for the Celestial Artifact!"
Upon hearing this, Yi Tianchen couldn’t help but feel speechless...
Thinking back, when Tiandao appeared, his Dragon's Roar had been unceremoniously pushed down to second place on the server's equipment leaderboard. That had troubled him for quite some time. Now it had been pushed down again to third place without any hesitation; he couldn’t help but feel a strange sense of acceptance.
Fortunately, both of them were quick enough not to be surrounded for long. After rushing into the general store and each purchasing a return scroll, they simultaneously crushed them. In a flash of spatial magic condensed over ten seconds, they appeared at the bustling return point in Southern Wilderness City.
Without speaking, they quietly merged into the crowd.
Beijing time, January 10, 2015, 7:28 PM...
With just 32 minutes left until the first auction begins, the grand Mist and Rain Auction House was already a vast ocean of players outside, capable of accommodating one hundred thousand people. Nearly 40% of the players had already taken their seats.
“Sister Yuhan…”
Seeing Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan return, Mu Wanqing was the first to latch onto Liu Yuhan, joyfully saying, “So you went to lift the seal of Shattered Dream... Oh, you didn’t take us along! It’s such a pity not to witness such an exciting scene in person.”
“Actually, I was just guessing at first…” Liu Yuhan glanced at Yi Tianchen, her voice trailing off. “If I had known earlier, I definitely would have brought you all with me!”
“Oh~ so it’s all Tianchen’s fault…” Mu Wanqing concluded decisively.
“…”
Yi Tianchen was left speechless for a moment; wasn’t that a bit of a stretch?
Li Tielong chuckled from the side, not caring about who was right or wrong. With an eager expression, he said, “President, let’s see Shattered Dream!”
“To be honest, I’m looking forward to it too!” Yi Tianchen added.
Lin Yan raised his hand, signaling his anticipation with an additional +1. Mu Wanqing had already linked arms with Liu Yuhan: “Yes, yes, yes! I really want to see what this artifact looks like.”
Liu Yuhan smiled brightly; she felt the same way.
Holding her breath, she opened the package. A compressed longbow radiating with colorful light lay quietly inside. In the blink of an eye, Shattered Dream appeared in Liu Yuhan’s delicate hands, its dazzling brilliance instantly flooding the entire room.
The bow known as Shattered Dream has a span of approximately 1.2 meters, and at this moment, it has undergone a remarkable transformation since the seal was lifted. Yi Tianchen and Liu Yuhan both remember clearly that back then, Shattered Dream felt good to hold, but it resembled a bent tree branch.
Now, under the shimmering rainbow light, both ends of the bow have developed protrusions resembling wings, making it look like a pair of wings unfurling. A chill emanates from it, and even the bowstring seems to spark with flashes of white light as if charged with electricity.
"Wow! This bow is so beautiful!" Mu Wanqing was the first to express her excitement. "Quick, let's check its attributes!"
"Okay!"
Liu Yuhan replied as she gently stroked the bow. A dazzling array of colorful lights danced into the air and eventually formed a virtual screen in front of the five of them---

After driving away the Otherworldly Race, its aura dissipated, and its whereabouts became unknown. As time passed, a thousand years slipped by unnoticed. In an extremely fortuitous encounter, it was discovered by the player Fallen Leaves Whisper in a dark cavern, allowing this once-lost Divine Weapon to see the light of day again.
Associated Quest: Mission of Legacy
Quest Description: It is said that Shattered Dream originally belonged to Princess Yali. After the smoke cleared from the Otherworldly Race's invasion that swept across the Dreamland Continent, facing the increasing aggression from the Human Empire, Princess Yali took up the Elven King Bow, a symbol of hope for her people, from the hands of the Grand Elder. She then led her entire race on a long journey to resist human encroachment. However, when the Sacred Relic Heart of the Elf was seized by the Dragon Race, it dealt a fatal blow to her people. Ultimately, they could not withstand the vast army of the Human Empire and were lost in the dense forests. Legend has it that in her final moments, Princess Yali engraved her life mark into the Elven King Bow. After a thousand years, it remains unchanged. Whoever can fulfill her wish will receive an unparalleled legacy (activated upon equipping).
