The Age of Black Mist has arrived. Mutant beasts roam and shadow demons run rampant, pushing humanity to the brink of extinction.
Since childhood, Lan Xi has borne the stigma of being the last remnant of a traitorous clan, enduring scorn and relentless pursuit.
Yet he has no idea that his father, Lan Jinghong, reviled by the world, laid plans ten thousand years ago.
At the brink of despair, his sword heart awakens and his divine bloodline first emerges.
In the capital, at Tianwu, he meets Fuxi Wen, who can divine the secrets of fate.
He encounters Zhan Xiao, a battle god who jokes and plays around but is willing to lay down his life to protect him.
And he meets Ling Cang, whose restrained, deep devotion and tangled love and hatred are like Snape's.
The four divine beasts, the eight royal powers, the four great clans, the primordial secret realm:
Every step brings blood and fire, every step brings loss and gain.
When his father transforms into the Ancestral Phoenix to face the Demon God, and the Battle God burns up his life to freeze time and space,
Lan Xi finally fuses the dual sources of yin and yang and ascends to the divine realm.
If the world sees me as darkness, then I will stake my life to reach the shore,
protecting humanity from extinction and keeping the light alive forever.
