Nine thousand years ago, the Holy Lord fell, the heavens were stained with blood, and a "Godslaying War" that buried the truth of annihilation claimed a million heroic souls.
Nine thousand years later, Lu Yunchuan, a heaven-forsaken youth bound by a bloodline curse and cast aside by his sect, touches the Chaos Star Core in a moment of desperation. It is the only remnant of the cosmic origin left in the Holy Lord's corpse.
Wielding the twin laws of space and time, he shatters the sea of stars, subdues the Primordial Torch Dragon, deciphers the Heavenly Domain Stele, and refines the Karmic Fire of the Yellow Springs, rising against the heavens amid the wars of myriad races.
But the awakening of the Dark Erosion forces tears open a conspiracy long buried: the Heavenly Dao devours every generation of Holy Lords, a once-dear friend becomes his sworn enemy, and the souls of his comrades return as vengeful spirits... And the Chaos Star Core in his hands is the only key to ending it all.
As the heavens collapse, he turns his flesh and blood into a cauldron and burns the cycle of reincarnation to ash, casting one final question toward the sky:
"If the Heavenly Dao is evil, should I slay the gods, or slay myself?"
