In the shadowy realm of Youxu, a mysterious ancestral decree has been passed down: "When the dim night comes, do not venture into danger." Like a shadow, this decree hangs over the people of the realm, shackling their desire to explore the unknown and sealing away countless secrets buried in the past.
Ashen Ember Village, a forgotten corner of Youxu. The village elders were once elite members of powerful sects, but they withdrew here to guard a secret. One day, golden light flashed by the river and runes shimmered. There, they found a mysterious abandoned infant and named him Mu Yuan. The elders poured their hearts and souls into raising him.
The once-in-a-century "Night of the Surging Dark Tide" arrived, and the power of the ancestral decree weakened. Determined to uncover the mystery of his origins, Mu Yuan resolutely stepped out of his home. In the dark night, danger lurked like a beast lying in wait, but his gaze remained firm as he pressed on without fear.
Just then, a mysterious masked figure appeared silently and recited an eerie prophetic verse: "Amid the faint glimmers of the dark night, forge the edge of a villain..." Mu Yuan's eyes suddenly changed. From that moment on, a villain's journey that defied convention and led to the pinnacle of darkness slowly unfolded beneath the night sky of Youxu...
Blood-red moonlight poured down, and darkness surged as if it were alive. The rebellious fire in Mu Yuan's heart blazed fiercely. He resolutely broke free of the ancestral decree and stepped into the unknown night. Danger lurked like a venomous snake, watching from the shadows. Just then, a mysterious blind man followed the sound and whispered from within the darkness: "Set foot on the path of a villain amid chaos..."
In an instant, a sharp light shone in Mu Yuan's eyes. From then on, a villain's journey that defied convention and led to the pinnacle of darkness quietly began beneath the night sky of the Great Ruins...
