Nine Domes of Time

The young man with the fragment of the Wheel of Time sewn into his heart opened the Eye of Ember in the depths of the Corruption Abyss. Jiang Yanli witnessed her mother being turned into a living puppet, and her blood drained by her relatives to feed Youyuan. When he crawled out from the pile of nine hundred child corpses, his left eye reflected nine life chains - each chain was the remains of a cosmic reincarnation. The ascension in the pseudo-immortal world is a scam, and the so-called way of heaven is nothing more than a pasture where life-stealers are kept in captivity. He swallowed the turbid energy, killed Taoist puppets, and stepped on the bones of his close relatives to unlock the life locks: the first lock broke, and the rotten abyss rioted; the fifth lock cracked, and Yan Ling killed the god; the ninth lock collapsed, and the wheel of time reversed. The nine women who were entangled with fate either cut out their eyes to help him see into the abyss, or transformed themselves into mechanical gods to forever suppress his memory, or burned a hundred lifetimes to give him a glimmer of hope. At the end of the Shura Path, will all living beings be destroyed and the era restarted, or will the life chain be broken and become food for the Thirteenth Abyss?
