On a rainy night in Qingzhou City, the young Shen Mo pawns three years of his lifespan in exchange for a bronze compass.
Yet he has no idea that it is the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Secret Compass, his own natal divine artifact, which he forged with his own hands three hundred years ago as he fell.
A shattered mirror reveals the truth of reincarnation: the so-called System missions are actually a stunning game of strategy laid out in a previous life, while the so-called confidantes are forbidden creations meant to defy fate and alter souls.
Agents of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion lie in wait, the Blood Fiend Sect watches like a tiger, and the merfolk of Jade Blossom Island weep pearls. When Shen Mo discovers his past life's mark engraved on the treasures of every sect, and golden Heavenly Emperor eyes appear in the eyes of the person he loves, he finally understands that the mortal world is nothing but an absurd tale written by the gods.
The mastermind behind it all? Just another pawn!
The master of the System? A puppet, too!
Now watch Shen Mo take the reins and break the game:
Use the shattered Profound Heaven Mirror to expose the lies of the divine path,
Wield the Azure Dragon's reverse scale to tear apart the shackles of karma,
And summon the Pure World White Lotus to burn away the thirty-three heavens!
The Three Realms are the board, and all living beings are its pieces.
This time, he will slay the gods to prove his path and rewrite reincarnation!
