[A cold, aloof Heavenly Emperor + a Demon Lord who plays the pig to eat the tiger + Two Powerful Leads + Mending a Broken Relationship]
Li Yuan’s entire clan was wiped out, and he took the assumed name Li Chuan.
Driven by an obsession, he turned the entire Heavenly Realm upside down, rose to godhood, and became the Heavenly Emperor, ruler of the Three Realms.
From that day on,
Li Yuan was the only god in the world. The mortal realm became a living hell, littered with corpses.
To make amends, Li Yuan spent ten thousand years plotting to destroy the Nine Heavens Mystic Pearl, which had brought chaos to the Three Realms. During the war between heaven and the demons, the Demon Lord Xuan Ming lost his memory and reverted to the form of a boy.
Li Yuan: “Would you like to leave here with me?”
The amnesiac young Demon Lord looked at the gentle, handsome person before him and placed his hand in Li Yuan’s.
Li Yuan took Xuan Ming back to the Heavenly Realm.
From then on, the Three Realms were at peace, and everything returned to its proper place.
That was how it should have been...
But after ten thousand years of planning, the truth was finally exposed.
The Heavenly Realm condemned Li Yuan, accusing him of slaughtering innocent lives and placing a demon in the Heavenly Realm. His actions went against the natural order, and he was unfit to sit on the throne of the Heavenly Emperor.
The person who exposed his crimes and ruined his reputation was none other than the innocent-smiling, amnesiac young Demon Lord standing before him.
Li Yuan and Xuan Ming had met as boys, but they had never been friends. Their hatred ran deep.
The seed of hatred buried in their hearts kept sprouting until it overwhelmed reason and devoured everything.
Xuan Ming: “Li Chuan, have you ever regretted it?”
