After the Age of Demonic Beasts, the Age of Yaoguai, and the Age of the Void, the entire cosmos entered the Age of Humanity.
In every age, the sole aim of cultivation was to seek immortality, yet no human or beast had ever succeeded, for no matter how long they lived, the Hongmeng Universe would face a calamity after ten million great tribulations: the Tribulation of Immortality.
Countless lives would perish, and the universe would return to its primordial state. Thus, cultivation in every age was about surviving the calamity.
At the dawn of the Hongmeng Universe, the master of all things, the “God of Nature,” sought to prevent the universe’s destruction. He sent the “Book of Life,” born alongside the universe, out into the cosmos, then transformed himself into an insight into the “Truth of Life” and entered the book, ensuring the universe would endure and the cycle of the world continue.
Across the ages, no one had managed to decipher the book. The Book of Life bore witness to the rise and fall of dynasties across the universe. When the Age of Humanity began, it chose the “Ancient Tang Clan” as its guardians for that generation...
But in ancient times, the book was unfortunately shattered into four fragments and scattered...
During the Ancient Tang Clan’s million-year guardianship of the book, they survived numerous calamities. At last, the secret of the Book of Life was leaked, and the Tang clan was besieged and massacred. At the moment of crisis, the clan leader used a Time-Space Mirror to send Tang Yi, his direct descendant born under an auspicious celestial sign, and the Book of Life to the Spirit Domain Continent.
Now see how “Brother Yi” rises from the ashes, carves out a place for himself, breaks the shackles, returns to his clan, saves the universe, becomes an all-around master, ascends to Emperor Venerable, and reaches the summit of immortality…
