The Third Campaign Against Heaven

Ten thousand years ago, Cang Yao, a spirit born of the Primordial, roamed freely between reality and illusion, never seeking power or involving himself in conflict.

Xuan Chen, the Primordial's foremost disciple, set a trap under the pretense of debating the Dao. Claiming it was necessary to stabilize the Three Realms, he ambushed Cang Yao and tore away half of his primordial divine soul to serve as the foundation of the Ten Thousand Souls Heaven-Subduing Formation.

Cang Yao's soul shattered, his memories dispersed, and he fell into the mortal world, passing through ten thousand years of reincarnation.

There were once two acts of defiance in the world: Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Celestial Palace, seeking freedom for himself; Yang Jian split Peach Mountain with his axe, seeking justice for his family.

Those two upheavals weakened the formation's seal, and the remnant soul that had slept for ten thousand years finally awoke.

Cang Yao had no interest in the rise and fall of the Three Realms or the fortunes and misfortunes of its people.

But what lay locked in the Celestial Palace was the very source of life he had been born with.

The first two who rose against the Celestial Palace each had their own unyielding conviction.

This time, he would not overthrow the Heavenly Court or claim its power. He would only reclaim his own divine soul and settle an injustice that had lasted ten thousand years.
