Eventhoughitwasn’tYunXiwhotookonthismission,hewasnowinadesertedtowernotfarfromtheBabylonSkyTower,nervouslywatchingthefacelessgodinfrontofhim.
Hisnextcampmission,"Sia’sLight,"wasreachingacriticalpoint.
ThepurposeofthismissionwastocollecttwelveConstellationGod’sWeaponsandultimatelyreviveSu,thecreatorgodSia.
Originally,YunXithoughtthatthismissionwassimplyaboutcollectingthescatteredTwelveConstellationGods’Weaponsfromaroundtheworld.
However,afterbringingbackeightpiecesoftheConstellationGod’sWeaponsfromtheUndergroundCemetery,whichwasruledbyhischildhoodfriend,El’phyllis,YunXirealizedthatthingswerenotassimpleashehadimagined.
Atfirst,itwasn’tveryobvious,justaslightsign.
Astimepassed,thissignbecamemoreandmoreobvious.Specifically,thefacelessgod,whowasoriginallyblank,wasemittingastrongsignal.
TheeightConstellationGod’sWeaponsalsorespondedtothesignalemittedbythefacelessgod.
YunXibelievedthatifitwasn’tforPafu’smischief,theoriginalsystemofthefacelessgodwouldhavewokenupandacceptedtheseeightConstellationGod’sWeapons.
ThismeansthattheseeightConstellationGod’sWeaponswereoriginallymeantforthefacelessgod.
ThemissionofthefacelessgodistocollecttheseConstellationGod’sWeaponsand,intheend,restorethelegendaryCreatorGod’sSwordSia.
YunXicouldevendeducethatthismissionhadalwaysexisted.
However,itwasnotoriginallyhimwhowassupposedtocarryoutthismission,butAin,agirlfromtheAdleylineagewhofullyawakenedhervirginconstellationbloodlinemanyyearslater.

WhenallTwelveConstellationGods’Weaponsaregathered,thefacelessgodwillawakencompletely,revealingtheinvinciblestanceofthedivinevesselandunitingSia’sworld.
ThaterawouldbetheresurrectionoftheCreatorGod’sSwordSia.
AsforYunXi,itwasobviousthathehadnopartinthisplanbecauseheneverreceivedthefacelessgod’sinheritance.Itseemedlikethiswasnotsomethingpreparedforhim.
However,YunXihadPafuinhishands.
ThemischievousPafucausedtheoriginalsystemofthefacelessgodtocrash.Thebloodlinerecognitionandmatchingmechanismthatshouldhaveexisteddisappearedalongwithit.ThePafuSystemreplacedtheoriginaldivinevesselsystem,allowingYunXitousethepowerofthefacelessgod.
However,themissionofthefacelessgoddidn’tdisappear.ThesystemwovenbyPafu,whichallowedthefutureSiatomanipulatethebloodlineofthefacelessgod,wastheonlythingdestroyed.
Thefacelessgoditselfdidn’tsufferanydamage.Itisapuppetpreparedforthegods,avesselcarryingthemissionofresurrectingSia.
Now,thisvesselhasencounteredtheConstellationGod’sWeaponsthatYunXihasretrievedandimmediatelyenteredthepre-determinedmissionmode.
