Introduction to "The Ballad of Ember Sky":
Young Su Wan was hunted down by the Tianxu Cult because of the "ember flame" lodged in his body. He was rescued by the mysterious ghost doctor Mo Jiuniang on the bank of the Rebirth River. As he entered the Taixu Pavilion trial, he gradually uncovered the bond between himself and the God-killer Ye Wuya - the fragments of the remnant soul, the spirit of the broken sword, and the mirror image of reincarnation. The layers of truth pushed him into the whirlpool of rewriting his destiny.
When Su Wang cut off the chains of seven emotions in the Tower of Seven Sins and faced the choice of karma and fire in the Palace of Reincarnation, he finally realized that he was actually the vessel transformed from the God-Slayer's true form. He signed a seven-day life-and-death pact with the clone of evil thoughts, and discovered the astonishing secret under the Taixu Pavilion that all the leaders of the past generations were vessels of the Tianxu Sect. As Master Wuchang, Zuo's protector of the Tianxu Sect, dropped the bombshell that "the master of Taixu Pavilion is the mastermind behind the scenes", Su Wan's memory was completely overturned - his fiancée was actually the reincarnation of the ghost doctor's daughter, and his previous life was actually a demon god killed by Ye Wuya himself.
In the fate-defying gambling game, Su Wang started a chessboard game with Xuan Jizi, the messenger of heaven, and burned the laws of heaven with the power of karma fire to purify the world, but a larger chessboard was glimpsed in the ashes. When the old god Zhu Jiuyin forced him into a desperate situation by going back in time, his fiancée used her body as a sacrifice to help him awaken the god-killing spell. In the end, Su Wang experienced thousands of reincarnations in the well of reincarnation. Facing the ultimate judgment of the incarnation of the way of heaven, "Tao", he chose to burn his divinity with ember flames. When he reunited with Po Meng (the reincarnation of Mingxi) on the bank of the Rebirth River, the lotus lantern emerging from the bottom of the well of reincarnation hinted at the beginning of the one thousand and second reincarnation.
The story ends with the storyteller throwing out the broken sword and the young man awakening to his memories. The sword spirit of the God-killing Sword appears in the world, and the figure of the woman in the mirror of the past remains the legacy of this fateful battle that spans thousands of years.
