When Pangu split the heavens from the earth, Chaos shattered and the Primordial World came into being. But the newborn world was flawed from the start: reincarnation was broken, true spirits wandered homeless, and calamity filled the land. The Heavenly Dao could only unleash one great tribulation after another to purge all living things, treating the symptoms but never the cause. The Primordial World knew no peace.
Ling Xuan was born from the origin of Chaos’s annihilation. He witnessed the creation of the world, possessed the Origin Pearl of Stillness, and bore the Dao Body of Annihilation. He could absorb the baleful energy of countless tribulations and see through the Heavenly Dao’s schemes.
From the chaos caused by ferocious beasts in the Longhan era to the lectures at Zixiao Palace, from Hongjun’s game of the Heavenly Dao to the struggle for Primordial Violet Qi among the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and others, all living beings chased the Heavenly Dao’s path to sainthood. Ling Xuan alone stayed away from Zixiao Palace, refused to worship the Dao Ancestor, and rejected the path of becoming a saint by severing the Three Corpses.
The War Between the Liches and the Conferred Gods contest: the saints made their moves, while all living beings became pawns. He took neither side, divine nor demonic, and fought over no spiritual treasures. He watched the conflicts of ages unfold with cool indifference. Using the power of annihilation, he purified the baleful energy of tribulations and settled wandering true spirits, vowing to repair the broken cycle of reincarnation and eradicate the scourge of great tribulations.
The Heavenly Dao could establish order, but it could not constrain the Great Dao. While the saints remained trapped in the game, Ling Xuan would unleash the power of his origin, break through the shackles of fate, and forge his own path to transcendence beyond Chaos.
